An update!!
2/23/2007
A lot has stuff has happened since my last update. I'll do my best to tell you the interesting stuff...
Probably the weirdest thing that happened recently involves my car. On the way home from school one day it stalled once. No big deal, right? I just started back up and went on my way. I figured maybe the really cold temperatures got to it. So a few days later I'm on my way home from school and it stalls 4 times in the 3 miles on the way back to my house. I make an appointment with the dealer and he finds something very unusual. Nothing mechanical was the problem, but the problem was most likely SOFTWARE. Yes, SOFTWARE. Unbelievable. He showed me the description of the update for my car. It fixed some stalling problems and fixed the instantaneous gas mileage reading to be more accurate. Since then, haven't had any problem with it. Crazy stuff.
I'm really excited for baseball to start. I've already purchased my subscription to MLB.TV so I can watch and listen to all the spring training and regular season games. I think this could be their year, as long as the offense stays productive and the pitching stays healthy. Prior is actually participating in spring training this year which he hasn't done the past few years because of injuries and Kerry Wood is throwing in preparation for his new role as a relief pitcher. It's starting to sound good.
I tried out Windows Vista a few times this past month. The CS department at school gives us a free copy of business, which I installed on my laptop but it was too slow for my tastes. My laptop just doesn't have enough memory for it. I then installed Vista Home Premium on my desktop and it runs great. I'm really impressed by it. Some say that the prompts for allowing or canceling something are irritating, but they rarely come up so I don't find it annoying.
Winter carnival was kind of a let down this year. The lack of snow and dangerously cold temperatures in the final statue nights made the statues a lot less detailed than they normally are. It was still fun though. My parents came up as well as Ashley and some of her friends. I took pictures and I'll get them up eventually.
I've become obsessed with skiing lately. I'm taking intermediate and advanced skiing classes this semester and this year they try and get you to take the lessons instead of just showing up and getting your name checked off. I'm really glad they are doing this, I've learned a TON. This past week I think I finally realized how to do the technique for short turns and I'm really happy about it. I'm probably going to take the ski racing class next year since I need more P.E. credits. In the advanced class he had us go down the race course just so we knew what it was like, and it's really fun.
That's all for now.

Weh-hell, look at you GO, Mr. Stanich! We should call you Stanski instead of Stanich, so the 'ski' can officially become a part of your identity. :)
Thanks for the update on here!! Winter Carnival was fun, thanks for meeting up with us all! I can still remember you walking through Scott's dorm room door, as we were all sitting there and waiting to go out and explore the cold!!
