The term’s almost over. I have a final and a presentation tomorrow, and a final next Thursday, then I’m done. I mapped out my schedule for the next three terms until graduation and I’ll only need 12 credits for each of them, including senior project.

I only have 2 weeks for break this September. It used to be a 3 week break but who knows why they changed it. I don’t even know if I’m going to be able to go anywhere, I’ll probably just work like usual. I’m so ready to be done with school. At least I can see an end now so it makes it slightly easier.

I might do some part time work at my old coop this fall too. My class load will be really light so I think I can handle the 2 jobs at 16 hours/week each. I could really use the money, probably to buy a new computer when this one dies. My rent is also going up, and I’m not currently splitting my cable and electric bills with anyone. So if the job is available (they still have to check) then I’m pretty sure I’ll take it.

I’m going to a bluegrass festival / camping this weekend. I can’t wait. The temperature should be perfect with 70s during the day and 60s at night. The only thing is right now it’s supposed to rain. That keeps changing though so I’m hoping it will get pushed back more. I already bought tickets and it’s rain or shine so I’ll be there either way. I’m still getting over a cold that had me in bed at my parents’ house all last weekend though so I’d rather not be out in rainy weather for 3 days.

Gaelic Storm is going to be at NXNW again next Thursday so I’m going with a few people. Their show there last time was so much fun, and they also have a new album out since then so it should be great.

I’m really into Christina Aguilera’s new album. It’s got a lot of 20s/30s jazz/blues influences, which of course I love.

I decided I’m going to be Ingrid Bergman for Halloween. I found a ton of 40s dress patterns:
one
two
three
four

No one will know who I am but I love that style so I’m doing it. I thought of picking a particular outfit she wears and doing the same thing but I can find barely any full length pictures of her. She’s so gorgeous that all the pictures are just of her face. I downloaded a couple of her movies to try to pick something out of there.

I will be going to the Grace Hopper conference in San Diego in October. There are 9 of us plus an adviser and we have full funding. Free trip!

Went to see G. Love and Special Sauce in Ortley Beach on Friday. It was a really great show. Afterwards we met G. Love and Jimi Jazz. Jimi was in love with Julia (asked her to have his babies) so he came with us to eat tacos (where he forgot his wallet and we had to pay for him), then swam with us in the ocean. And took off all his clothes. Too bad it wasn’t G.

We got home at 6am, slept for 2-3 hours at Ryan’s, then I helped Lisa and Shaun move into their new place all day. Came back just in time for Eunice’s going away party, which was at my apartment. I had lots of fun but went to bed at like 1:30. Haha I have no idea why. I guess I was really tired from not sleeping the night before. I woke up this morning at 8 really confused.

My whole body is really sore today. I guess it’s from contorting myself into weird positions on the way home from the beach to stay warm in the jeep. I went down to center city to use some gift cards and coupons and hit some sales. The bike ride loosened me up a little bit but then I took another nap and am stiff again.

I don’t know if I mentioned this before but when I was at Six Flags a couple weeks ago, Foghorn Leghorn grabbed my ass and told me to call him. It was kind of traumatic.

I’ve decided that for my “You made it through Drexel without killing yourself and got a job afterwards” present to myself, I need a bike. Well first I need to make it to June and get a job. Hopefully one where I make a decent amount of money.

Triumph Bonneville T100
Honda Shadow Spirit
HD Sportster 883
HD Heritage Softtail Classic

Probably an older, used version of the Bonneville. That would be fantastic.

Any way I’m going to try to sign up for the BRC again this fall. Hopefully I can make it into one.

I love Broken Lizard.

The movie was so good.

Leo (July 23 – August 22): You may take pride in your job as a Trojan quality-control tester, but there will come a day when you’ll leave it all behind to spend more time with your 37 children.
