We had our second Mounttain Dew drinking contest last night! How fast can YOU drink a two liter bottle of Mountain Dew? Brad, Eric, Eric M, Ace, Dan, and Phil participated. I just took pictures. Brad won with a time of 1 minute 44.39 seconds. Then threw up. The head RA heard him throw up and decided to give Brad, Eric and I JRs. Brad doesn't even go to school here. Oh well, I don't care, I'm framing mine. I don't think it will matter. The other guy RAs kept asking questions like "HOW FAST?!" and the head RA kept throwing around terms like "serious." It's like, no it's not serious. He asked us if we are dumb for doing this, and it's like, hey, half this campus drinks themselves sick every weekend, including yourself I'm sure. Don't expect me to be crying over this. I will post pictures soon, and have a link to collegehumor.com when we submit the story to them.

I turned in the worst piece of crap I've ever written for the final part of my Intro to Computer Engineering project. I believe the conclusion was "This project taught me that I am not going to be an engineer anytime soon."
I got a 49/60 on my multivariable calculus test. Not as good as I'd hoped, but who am I to be picky about passing grades?

Wow, I was posting at this time exactly two days ago.
Many of you are not voting on my major. C'mon, this is my future you are deciding. I sure don't care, I'm not going to be a EE, so one is as good as another. It has been suggested to me that I should go to community college. Here's my answer. Hell no. I'd rather just go back to Hornes than to something like RCC. If I do, why did I waste 2 1/2 years of my life here? Wouldn't it be cool? get a degree in intro to marketing, work as a telemarketer, and live in my parents' basement? I'd rather just go back to Hornes and live in my car. No offense to those who went to community college. I was supposed to be an electrical engineer, it's all I've known. Now, I'm being forced to pick something else? How am I supposed to care "what else" I pick? It's my future? Who cares, not me.

Go vote for my new major. Not that your opinion will decide my future, but hey, I'm curious.
I fixed some of the bad weather picture linx and missing thumbnails. Woo.

Well, after many hours, I didn't even bother to try to get my project validated. It needed to be completely rewired according to the new schematic, which was based on the new design I never got to work. Oh well. My electronics project wasn't great either. I think that's it for me and EE. I tried so hard for so long. I haven't really wanted to do anything else, I don't know much else. I mean, ever since I came here, I wanted to be in EE. Now, my third year, I'm going to have to pick a new major. I mean, why did I try? Was it because I was determined? Or just too dumb to realize that it was an impossible dream? I just don't understand. I mean, as a little kid, your teachers, parents, etc, tell you "you can be whatever you want to be." That's bullshit. You can't. You can be what you're "supposed" to be, and a few people defy that rule, and after those people are dead, they make a movie about them. I am supposed to be something else, I guess. Maybe a garbage man? Dockworker? I could have done that on my own without wasting the three years at college and a few more years of high school. I'm a failure to everything I thought I'd be. As a little kid, I'd be disappointed in myself, but as an adult, I just don't care. 50 of 52. I guess VT was right to send me a warning letter, and I was wrong to fight it. I shoulda stayed in KG where I would at least have a head start on living in "the real world" and maybe be making a few cents more at Hornes.
I could switch majors. But to what? Computer Science? Sure, I could do that, but I hate it, and I promise I'd probably shoot myself before my 30th birthday. Maybe Geological Sciences. I like meteorology. Too bad I've already taken the only class they offer in it. And besides, what am I gonna be? I'll STILL be a garbage man or dockworker. Maybe Physics or Materials Science Engineering, but who knows. I sure don't. What happens if I'm an undeclared major at the end of this semester? Maybe if I had a real advisor, I'd know. Just another thing VT has screwed me over with.
My advice to everyone out there is, don't try. It's not worth it. It's better to just give up than to fail trying, like me. You end up in the same place, only if you fail trying, you're older, fatter, and dumber than if you'd just never tried. Thank you.

It's been a while since I posted last. I've been really busy with both an Electronics design project and an Intro to Computer Engineering project. I think most of my design is complete for the Intro to CpE project, and I have designed my full-wave rectifier in PSpice for Electronics. Now I have to wire, write, and confirm analytically.
Hopefully I will post a bunch when I get done these projects and will add some updates as soon as I can.
I got stung by a yellow jacket yesterday outside West End! He just landed on my arm and stung me for no apparent reason!
