April 13, 2005 - Chronic and crippling laziness

So I really kind of feel bad about the last ... week or so. I have, almost literally, done nothing. I've gone to about half my classes, done next to no homework - and what little I've done has been late - and made absolutely no progress on anything remotely productive. Basically, I've sucked for a solid week or so. I've had a couple fun nights, gatherings with people, rollerblading adventures, a broomball game tonight, and a heck of a lot of video game time ... and yet, I'm still worthless. About four of the last seven days I've crashed in the middle of the day for a nap, sometimes as long as four hours. It's not that I'm not getting enough sleep, it's that I'm lazy and worthless. I almost hate to say it, but I think I had a better time when I was slightly busier. This is the first time in all of college when I can honestly say that I've been bored. Weird.
On to things that suck less, though. It has come to my attention that I had been neglecting my POTD for some time. You can consider that fixed, and if you haven't yet, go and check out the past POTD's as well. Standard end-of-the-month archiving as well.
Exciting news: I've officially gotten plane tickets for a Scuba trip in May! I'm heading out to Key Largo, Florida, on Monday the 9th, right after graduation, packing, and moving (which is going to be a hell of a couple days, by the way). About six days of diving later, I'm renting a car, driving across the state, and spending about four days visiting my grandmother. Obviously, I'm quite excited about both of these things. Just makes me want this semester to be over with even sooner.
Surprisingly, for about two weeks worth of not updating, that's all I have. I told you I haven't been doing anything. Cheers to the next couple weeks!

April 25, 2005 - Been awhile

Yeah yeah, it's been two weeks since I updated. Let's try for a slightly less "whiny emo kid" update this time, shall we?
I've gotten (mostly) out of my funk that I was in. I think the problem was that I had just done nothing for so very long that it became impossible to start doing things again. I also think I was watching entirely too much TV, which I've tried to put an end to. Long story short, things are peachy again. My collective apologies to anyone who I might have been snippy to.
So, what's happened in the past two weeks? We had a Scuba broomball team, which won a game before losing in the second round - I have a funny story about that if anyone cares to hear it. I went rollerblading a couple times, which is always awesome. It got real cold - below freezing a couple nights ago - which is never a good thing. I've played some decent amounts of video games. Oh, and I've been in the market for a new cell phone, as USCellular, in their infinite wisdom, decided to serve most of Washington state except Seattle. That's been kind of a chore, but I think I'm going to come away with something I'll enjoy much more than my current one. It'll be nice to only have one number and not have to deal with a land line once I'm in Washington.
Oh yeah! I went down to UIUC a couple weekends ago to celebrate Jody's birthday! It was awesome to make it down there one last time and see everyone - and of course, happy 21st to Jody! I got to see Scott on the way to and from UIUC as well, and we managed to have ourselves a fun time too. Check out some of the recent POTD's for the highlights.
That's about it. The next couple weeks are going to be mighty interesting. Not so much from a schoolwork perspective as from a "holy crap, how am I going to take a final, demo a project, wrap up senior design, attend three graduation ceremonies, entertain two sets of relatives, pack all my stuff, clean my apartment, have one last hurrah with my friends, and make it home alive, all in three days?" kind of perspective. Uh oh...
