The past week was busier than I thought it would be. One of the other student workers at CNS had some problems and didn’t make it in for most of the week. That led to the front desk being manned by me for about every morning and parts of the afternoons. Not fun.
Tera celebrated her 21st birthday last week. She had to work on her actual birthday which sucked, but we went up to The Funny Bone in Columbus with Mark on Saturday. We left around 1:30 and went to Easton to walk around. At about 5:15 we went in to eat. The food was pretty good but nothing too amazing. 7 managed to roll around and the first comedian came up. We’re pretty sure he’s there all the time and is the usual opener for The Funny Bone. The next guy, Gary Menke, came on and he was hilarious. Probably the best of the three. He finished up and Gerry Dee took over. He was ok. After the show we headed back to Mark’s place and hung out before coming back Sunday morning.
Weezer has a new album on June 3rd which I am very excited for. The new video is definitely one of my all time favorites already due to the vast amount of viral mockery. If you don’t recognize a lot of the scenes then it probably won’t do much for you; however, if most of it is familiar in some shape or form it will be worth watching. Check it out on the media page.

The most horrid semester I can remember finally came to an end last week. My grades turned out much better than I thought they would overall. Some grades were better than I thought they would be, some worse.
African-American Religion: I managed an A- which was somewhat of a surprise. Going into the final I thought the highest grade I could get was a B+. The final was alright but I still expected a B or B+ overall.
Symphonic Winds/Euph Lesson: Easy A.
Geology: I got an A and actually enjoyed this class more than any other science course I’ve taken except for maybe Astronomy last year. The professor was great and the class structure made it easy to keep on task. Being that this was my last science course I’ll ever have to take, it’s great going out with a good grade.
Computer Graphics: I really thought I had a chance at a B+ or even an A- but have to settle for a B-. I was/am disappointed but there’s not much else I can do. I did great during the semester and probably didn’t study as hard for the final as I should have which is what held me back. Still, a B- isn’t going to make me complain too much.
Computer Architecture: I got a B- which made me happy. This had the worst final exam ever. Completely insane. I got lucky though and stayed out of the C range which was my goal.
Algorithms and Data Structures: I pulled out a shocking B and I really don’t know how. The final was fine but there some other assignments that I expected terrible grades for. I guess I did better than I thought because I received a lot of credit for stuff that was “close” to working. This grade made up for getting the lower grade in Graphics.
And there you have it. Now that it’s summer again, I’m definitely going to update more than every month. I’m also going to try to update the Media page more often (which you can check out now). Time to get back to work.
