For the first time in about 3 weeks, I actually have free time on a weekday evening. It's a great feeling to be done with homework by 7 pm. This semester's just been a whole lot of work, but so far I'm keeping my head above the water. I just hope I can continue it. This also let me catch up on month-old email and some other stuff I've been putting off forever because I was too busy with school.

In other news in my life, I went to the Career Fair the last two days in the O'Connell center. Basically a bunch of companies looking to hire college students come and try to recruit us/us beg for jobs while all spiffily dressed. All I can say is it's nice being an engineer. I'd guesstimate a good 70% of the companies were engineering related, with most of the other companies dealing with banking or some kind of retail or management. And out of those engineering one's, almost half probably had something to do with computer engineering, so I talked to many many companies in trying to get an internship. And the way their eyes light up when they see a 4.0 GPA... priceless. So that my dear readers, is the fastest way to get some attention. Very interesting experiance, and hopefully I can get a cool summer job out of it.

Ever wanted to know what happens if you drop 50 lbs of silly putty from a 6 story parking garage? Sure you have! Now you can watch the video and pictures of someone who did just exactly that. Fun stuff!

Who owns who? Some people dont' relieze it, but many of the companies on Wally World shelves are really just subsidaries of bigger companies. So now you can find out who really owns your favorite brand.
