ok, i was reading the stuff here about the "runaway bride" and how there's discussion on how she should be charged for her actions and such... and i honestly know nothing about the story other that what i kinda got from here, (no time to watch or read the news right now) but i have heard of some news down here from a few weeks ago...

two girls (freshmen) at my school got run down by a lady who ran a red light driving on the highway right off campus. and one of the girls died!!! how terrible, right??? but what i find even more terrible is that the woman who hit her is only getting charged for running the red light. a girl is dead because of it, and i don't know the current condition of the other (lack of news again) but shouldn't she get charged with a little more than just a stupid ticket for running a red light?!?!? what about negligent homicide??? something... i mean, I'm sure she is suffering enough knowing she killed some girl, (at least she should be) but still!!!

ok, this was a nice little break, gotta get back to working on my building... it's due tomorrow!!! the presentation is tomorrow!!! I"M GONNA BE DONE WITH IT TOMORROW!!!! and then I'll have time to do my other projects ;)

public service announcement:

no animals were harmed in any way in the writing of my previous journal!!!

(i knew i was gonna get in trouble for that...)

Has anyone ever heard of that saying???? cuz i was a little taken back when a girl in my engineering group (and all my classes for that matter) said that to me the other day...

I was telling her how stressed i am with all of my projects and stuff, and how no matter how much tI'me i was spending on it all and all the work i was doing, it still felt like i wasn't getting anywhere

she said one of her grade school teachers told her that when she was little...

ok, so the answer is "a piece at a time" (and i know this is prolly gonna piss off some elephant lovers/non meat eaters, but it's just a saying, ok ;) )

so from this little... i don't even know what i would call it... i realized i needed to focus on one project at a time, and then once that was done with, i could move onto another.

however of course, just as parts of an elephant would go rotten if it just sits there too long and doestn get eaten, projects have due dates and other factors like group members...grrr. so after scheduling out my days, i have managed to put the head down for a few days (head is sr design... the building we've been working on all year) and have managed to ingest and fully digest 2 of the legs!!! got HVAC out of the way the other day with the help of another girl in my class, and then the past 2 days have been the lighting project (another group though) and we presented that this evening!!!
now i just have to start to nibble at the masonry project, oh... that's not a tasty one :( and then construction management, ahh, another group project...

but at least i have completed 2 of them!!! now only 3 to go, plus finals, plus rowing.... ahhhh, elephants are big animals!!!!

oh, and i had a job interview today!!! yeah, but i don't think it's much to get excited about... i mean it's a job, but not engineering, but it's dept of transportation "sun guide control center" something to do with transportation... but i don't know anything about transportation.... oh well... I've wasted enough time writing this... time to go study for an HVAC test I have tomorrow... eeek :(

and what's all this talk about snipping certain body parts??? i have never heard it being done to a woman, why on earth would anyone ever do that??? that just sounds absurd!!! oh well... people do strange things to their kids i guess... (it is just done as babies right?) ahhh, i don't want to think about it!

im out...

we have a new pope!

but why would anyone ever choose a name like "Benedict"??? especially since 15 other's had already choosen it (made that mistake), it just sounds like eggs...

and he had a cool name already, what's wrong with "Joe"???

Pope Joe ;) I like that better

it was necessary... i had to do it... i coudnt put it off any longetr... i needed a night of PROCRASTINATION and it felt GREAT!!!

i feel like I've been going non-stop forever...

i took the FE on Saturday... i didn't realize an 8 hour test would take up 12.5 hours of my day... not to mention drain the hell out of my brain as i sat there for through the second part of the test... just staring at the test booklet and playing Eni-meni-minni-mo for 4 hours... it was ridiculous, i think out of the 60 questions in the second part, i "knew" only about 5 of them... YIKES!!! well i don't get the results for a while so until i find out if i passed and am done or failed and will be taking it again in Oct, I'm just gonna forget all about it!!!

and Saturday night, Sunday all day (after practice) and today (the tI'me from when i got home from practice until it was due at 3:30) i have been working on that stupid senior design building project... i just want it to all be over with!!!! NOW!!!!

but i spent a good hour lunch break with jacks ranting back and forth about rowing and how we are both SO annoyed at everything in life right now

and rowing is killing me... I'm sucking SO bad right now... it's so sad, but i just can't wait till it's over... i never thought i'd say that, and i know once it's over I'll prolly be so sad and regret ever saying it, but there ya go, i can't wait till it's over!!! only 27 more days!!! then i can drink again too!!! ohhh, i could soo go for a drink right about now.

ok, so after i handed in what i had actually finished (not nearly all of it) i went to the athletic dept... i needed to talk to my coach. well jacks was there talking to hI'm at the tI'me!!! so the two if us pretty much blew up at hI'm letting out all of our frustration of what he's putting us through right now... (maybe I'll get into that later... not in the mood to right now)

then i went to dinner and saw yassi!!!! i love yassi!!! she's the sweetest girl in the world!!! and we had been talking about going dress shopping for our formal banquet in Clemson this weekend, but couldn't find tI'me for it... till i came up with my brilliant plan: when we are both totally overwhelmed with school work and the need for sleep, WE SHOULD PROCRASTINATE AND GO DRESS SHOPPING!!!!

SO WE DID!!! it was great to be doing something... anything other than school work and thinking!!! and we both succeeded!!! both got a dress to wear this weekend!!! (and I'm excited cuz i need it for my engineering senior banquet coming up in a few weeks too!!!) even better, i charged that to my mom's credit card... happy (late) birthday to me!!!

ahh, but now I'm soo tired, i could try to get some work done, cuz i know i have so much to do, but NOPE!!! I'm going to sleep ;)

hey, and anyone know of any architectural (structural or some civil) engineering internships in the buffalo area??? i need a job!!! and my locations are limited to Miami and buffalo...
