1) 32 hours of class/week

2) Met alot of awesome people, had probably the best term ever.

3) Planned a trip out west to British Columbia and Bellevue, Washington for PAX.

4) Probably alot more, but I really can't remember it.

Chemistry research - GCxGC, Chromathermography, writing an article.  Good times.

Partying - Wow.  Going out a lot.

Spending Money - Where did it all go?

You know, that's pretty much been it.

Spent a lot of time with family, all my friends are either married (at the age of 22!), in med/law school, basically no fun.  My days as a party animal are officially over; drinkings doing me no good (memory lapses) and will be way to busy this coming fall/spring which is my last year as an undergraduate.

wow.. i am 22 too. i am considered older than the rest of my cohort in college. well, not much of a choice when you come from a country that exercise compulsory military conscription. i can't wait to enter my second year. 3 more yr to graduation

what a long time  ::)

My summer has been....well almost boring.

Work...Work....Work....just to pay for school.  The US, has no financial assistance whatsoever, well it does but not much, with our budget cuts left and right...boy that sucks

Found out I will have to pay my year through school.....which is $5,500.  you would think with me having a 3.858 GPA and many national honors...the state would give me a little money...but no.

Other than the work crap..I have had chances to see quite a bit of live music ...The Blues...and also plenty of fishing trips...or drinking and smoking trips..whatever you like to call them :)

Not much else happened w.r.t. school.....did some reading though..to keep my mind fresh.

Over-indulged last night...for some reason my head hurts....But the drinks tasted good.

Started a project....just starting to get the parts for it....a homemade super computer via Grid Networking..  Should be really cool when I am done..I want to run Linux on it..any windows OS sucks besides Win98 SE....

I have also started to "re-originalize" my 1990 BMW 750iL....Just needs some minor parts..and a buff and paint job to remove some scratches..Should be very,very nice when I am done.  It shouldn't cost me more than $1,000, but it will have to wait till school is through this year.

Other than this my summer has been well.....Met some very nice ladies.....Nothing for the long term...that costs money too!!!!
