Things and Stuffs


Updates:

School
Kicking my ass. I'm taking Dynamics (or Damn-namics), Surveying, Abnormal Psychology, Materials, and Linear Algebra/Differential Equations. First tests?
Dynamics: 85%
Surveying: 78%
Abnormal Psychology: %92
Materials: %70
Linear Algebra: %77

Needless to say, I need to improve. At least I don't have any grades < 50%. :D

I have two tests next week (surveying and Dynamics) and then two more tests the week after that (Linear and Materials). I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THIS SEMESTER!!!!!!! Only 6 weeks to go!

I've picked most of my classes for next semester. I'm taking AutoCAD, Transportation, Another materials class, Soil Mechanics and something else.

House
Our house should be ready by February 19th. We've watched them pour the foundation and put up the first floor framing. We are super excited! :D We've been really good at taking a picture every week (except for last week because we were in Seattle).

Seattle
We went to Seattle to see our friends Lisa and Jared get married. We stayed with Heather and James and it was like a huge slumber party because Lainey and Pete were there as well, oh and so was Lainey's sister Missy. The wedding was so awesome! It was decorated in Bamboo and earth tones, origami along with votive candles for souvineers, and all of the candles smelled SO GOOD! It made the room happy! Lainey and Pete made all the candles for the wedding, they were FairyLite Candles. They don't have a website but if you're interested in some fucking awesome candles shoot me an email and i'll hook you up with Lainey's info.

Needless to say, I had 6 glasses of wine (I think) and I ended up mopping up the entire community hall at the end of the night, I had SO MUCH ENERGY! Heather had more than me, and fell down a small hill and hit her head and knee. It looked really funny, and I think she probably didn't feel it at the time, but she has a couple of bumps. I have pictures, I should post them. HA, we'll see if that happens.

Vishnu

Shahnon and Rick were not able to go to the wedding because they had a pet emergency. Their cat Vishnu was having a hard time breathing and they weren't sure what was wrong. They found out this week that Vishnu's tonsils were infected. Poor cat! This is the one of the most friendly and soft cats EVER created and he was all sad.

Dr. Phil
Shahnon and I went to see a taping of Dr. Phil at the end of August and it aired the Monday after we got back from Seattle (this last monday). Of course, it was the ONLY day I didn't put a tape in the VCR, so I totally missed it! Tara caught it, and she even called me. TARA - sorry I have not called you back, I stayed at school till 11pm two days this week and I've been REALLY tired. I'll shoot you an email... sorry, tangent.

So that's what's been going on. I feel like a crazy person, but it's all good. It's making the time pass REALLY FAST.
