A Belated Update

Happy New Year! Wait, it's almost February? Well, shit, time really flies when you...aren't...doing..anything, lol. No, I have been keeping myself pretty busy. I have some time before my class that starts at 6.30, so I figured I would post a little bloggy blog. My final semester started last week, nothing too exciting. My two classes besides 480 (WDMD 301, which is PHP and Javascript, and WDMD 380, which is 3-D Game Design) are going to be cool. 301 is going to be super easy, plus Danno and Joe are in it with me, and 308 will probably be a good amount of work but fun nonetheless. For 480, I am working with a group on a project for Marshfield Clinic...although we sadly haven't received our project yet. We have weekly presentations to the class regarding our status and such - needless to say, I won't be having a presentation tomorrow. I want to get the project soon so we can just get it started and get moving...but gotta be patient I guess.

Ultimate starts tonight and I am super psyched, although I won't be playing :( I sprained my ankle something awful on Friday night playing basketball and it still isn't completely healed up today, so instead of risking further injury, I decided I am going to sit out tonight. I am just happy I didn't hurt it anymore than I could have (I rolled it pretty bad and it hurt bad Friday and Saturday) Oh well, it happens - surprised I've gone this long without an injury like that, heh. This will be my first missed game of ultimate since I took a block off in sophomore year...crazy!

Confab is on a bit of a hiatus and who knows what is going to happen with that. Scheduling seems to be getting all confuzzled and everyone is just too busy for a project of this magnitude, it seems. As much as I really want to push everyone to get this done and go for it, I know that my schedule is only going to get more busy and I almost feel its a good sign that its not working out right now (as shitty as it may be) I know we will find time to do it, and if not, its not like our lives end after this semester (even if I am going to be in Appleton)

Speaking of Appleton, I filled out and submitted a loan application for a house over the weekend. Pretty freakin' exciting! Kirsten and I applied with UWCU (the bank we use now) simply because any of the meetings we have we will probably have to be there, and it would be stupid to use a bank in Appleton and to travel there lord knows how many times to meet with them. We figure that once we get the loan, we won't have to actually be at the bank that often so it should work out well. I just hope everything goes smooth with the application and that it all works out. Kinda freaky to be applying for that kinda stuff, but super exciting all the same.
My brother moved out of the house over the weekend, hooray for him! He moved in with a friend of his and they are both pretty stoked about their apartment. We will probably end up going home sometime in the next month or so, because he will need me to hook up his computer, lol. Makes me feel kinda old that my baby brother is moving out of the house...but then I realize he will be 20 in only a few weeks! Yikes! Still pretty cool, now we have another place to party when we move back to A-town, haha.

So things are looking up and up right now. I expect things to start getting hectic soon, especially once I get my project for 480. Bowling starts next week (finally!) and I can't wait for that. For now, I am relishing my time off and just patiently waiting...counting down...4 months...
