and Other Delusions of Grandeur

And so it begins…

All moved in now. School is just as bad as last year, if not worse, as far as my engineering classes go, but that doesn’t mean that there arn’t a few redeeming things. I am taking my first lighting class and it’s really something. We do all hands-on projects, like getting to design a two minute light show to accompany a song of our choice. As you’d guess, I have something up my sleeve for that. I won’t bore you with the details becuase frankly, nobody really cares about the technical details, eh? But yea, it’s the first class at CMU I’ve liked at all. I also have my new apartment. My roomate is a nice guy and we get along pretty well.

School still sucks, but I guess thats expected, especially at CMU. My Thermodynamics class is awful, but is shadowed my Calculus in 3 Dimensions… ugh. I also have Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, which I should have taken last year but my schedule didn’t work out for it. Still, I need it to graduate so I’m doing that now. Lastly, my 5th class is Statics. So far, it’s not awful…. yet…

Michelle just left this morning for PSU, so by now I’m sure she’s all unpacked and stuff. I got to spend a lot of time with her this week, despite my academic situation. Having a car down here has it’s benefits.

Besides that, things are pretty quiet on the home front. Life at CMU is dull and miserable, but even this kind of torture can become routine given enough time.

The process has begun…

I got some of my stuff moved in. Mainly, my bed and my new producing desk. Tommorow morning, I plan on moving mostly everything else there. I don’t really have to much to move. Here is a mental note that you proabably don’t care about:

  • TV
  • TV Stand
  • Mini Fridge
  • Assorted electronics
  • DVD Player
  • Office Supplies
  • Computer and stuff
  • Filing Cabinent

I’m sure more things will occur to me, but thats enough for now.

Move In Day

Today I start furniture and stuff into my new apartment in Squirell Hill. I’ll be posting pictures and such shortly.

I just set up a new blog on NS.com in response to Facebook’s new “Notes” feature. They take RSS Syndication, so I can write posts on NS.com and they will show up on Facebook automatically. Pretty cool, eh? Besides, everyones going back to school, so we’ll be switching from actual conversations to Xanga’s and Blogs and such.

After I get all moved in, I’ll write another post.
