Yeah...
7/29/2007
I know, I haven't updated in forever. To be honest, the only time I think about it is when I'm at work. I've been keeping fairly busy with miscellaneous activities. I've been biking quite a bit and watching a bunch of movies. Netflix is really nice to have but sometimes I end up renting movies that are just terrible. I'm glad it's a flat fee and not based on how many I rent per month.
In the past month or so I've gone to two Twins games (vs. the Tigers) with Sarah, Justin, and some other friends from Rochester. I also went to a few Rochester Honkers games with work and again with Justin and some others from Rochester. It's been a pretty busy month actually. While I'm on the subject of baseball, the Cubs are only a game or so behind the Brewers for 1st place in the division now. I'd guess they will take it over at some point this week.
School starts again in early September so I'll be finishing up at work in Rochester the last week of August and then my parents will come help me move my stuff back to Green Bay. The place I'm renting in Hancock is supposed to be somewhat furnished, so I won't have to worry about moving too much stuff this time.
The Office Season 3 comes out on DVD the first day of classes. Thankfully I don't have any class Tuesday or Thursday this semester so I'll be able to head over to Wal-Mart and pick it up. I'm sure I'll be watching it quite a bit. The Office is probably one of the only TV shows I'd ever buy on DVD. I think a TV show needs a certain charm in order for people to be able to watch it over and over and The Office definitely has it.

Hardee's is good
3/04/2007
I always forget how good Hardee's is now until I go there and get a Thickburger. I love that place.
This week has been really busy and this next week will be even more busy. I have a computer networks project due tomorrow which I struggled through for 4 or 5 days. I need to re-educated myself on how to program in C++ before I try and use it again. There is also another programming assignment in another class due at the end of this upcoming week and some other assignments for my remaining classes.
Michigan Tech had a snow day last Friday! Apparently it's the first snow day in a long time. I don't know how long, but I've heard numbers from 8-20 years since the last one. I think they closed school because of the huge snow drifts. We had a ton of snow that day and then Saturday too. We're running out of places to put the snow when we shovel. We have this cool trench going to our cars from our door though. It's getting pretty tall.
I'm excited for Spring Break, which starts next Friday. We're going Skiing on the weekend, which should be fun. Then I'll also be working my normal hours and going to Rochester to find an apartment for the summer. It will be nice to have a break.
Baseball's Spring games have started and the Cubs haven't won a game yet, but they don't really play their starters the whole time anyway. The starting pitchers have done a pretty decent job thus far. I need to figure out how to get the right codecs on the computer at school so I can watch games when I'm sitting in the labs. Otherwise, I'll have to bring my laptop.
Anyway, back to work.

Baseball
1/21/2007
Now that the Packers are done for the season I'm getting really excited for baseball season. The Cubs are vastly improved this season after adding Soriano and a bunch of other players. Rumor has it that they are up for sale and they are trying to maximize the value that they'd get for the club, but I hope it's just because they want to finally not suck.
My parents got me a brick from Wrigley Field for Christmas, I thought it was pretty cool. I'm assuming it used to be in the outfield area and was taken down after they added more bleacher seats last year. My dad made a stand for it too, it's pretty cool.
I'm disappointed that no one is making a realistic full-featured baseball game for the Wii. The Wii Sports baseball is really fun but imagine playing full games like that with real teams and players. The new baseball games seem to only be on the other consoles. Maybe I'll be forced to get it for XBox 360 instead.
The first week of school was interesting. It's different being off campus now. It's probably actually more productive for me since I have a lot of time between classes. I usually end up reading stuff for other classes in the computer lab. I think Computer Networks and possibly Programming Languages will be my favorite classes. The Computer Networks book is pretty interesting.
Skiing twice a week is pretty fun too though. The whole ski hill isn't open yet, but it's still been fun. Unfortunately, one of the times I have to go skiing is during The Office and Grey's Anatomy. I'll probably end up recording it every week and watching it when I get back.
