My summer is almost over, and while I've had an incredibly amount of fun and met a lot of really cool friends, there is no denying that college >> work even if it's really cool work. I'm leaving on Thursday for Gainesville, spending the night there, and then getting back to Tampa Friday afternoon. It's been a really fast 3 months and here's a few more pictures (out of the over 650 I took this summer) of what I've been up to these last few months:
Me and the two girls interns
The whole Purdue trip group
Couches are fun!
Me, my roommate, and the girls
Rafting!
Space and Rocket Center
And yes, I managed to survive my trip to Purdue. It did live up to the hype and I had a blast. They have the absolute best bar EVER there called the Neon Cactus. It's like the old Alligator Rocks in Gainesville, except a lot more fun since everyone participates and it was just really cool. And free coke!
I also went to the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center last weekend, which I've intended on going to since my first weekend up here, but just never happened. It was really cool and had a lot of information on the Apollo missions which were built here in Huntsville. I found out the other day that I can never be a NASA astronaut though since my eyesight is too poor. Which just means that those private space endevours better hurry up and become reality so I can take one of those up into space someday in the semi-near future.
Doom 3 is a really awesome game.
And finally, sign #33093943 that the Apocolypse is upon us. A blatently open racist has won the Republican primary in a northwest Tennessee district. Which he got because I'm assuming the Republican can't really choose who runs under their party name, and a write-in candidate bid failed to garner enough votes. The really scary thing about this though is the guy got 7,671 votes, 83% of the people who voted. Luckily the Democratic candidate is a heavy favorite so this guy won't be making it anywhere near Congress, but this is as bad as the segregated prom fiasco in Georgia.
