I'm following myself.

I accidentally started following myself today. Oops. Haha at least I'll know that I posted something for sure. And nobody else is doing it.. why not start a trend? ; )

So the semester is ending fast. My finals seem to be as early as they possibly could be, so I won't have as much time as expected to study, sadly. But I'll get them over with and that'll be nice.

I like my Eng 198 group's project. The hovercraft is coming together nicely, and Kevin had a surprise for us today, we are going to control it with a super NES (I think that is what the system is.. I'm not a videogamer..) controller! I am really excited to see if we can get it to work. The circuitry is hard to figure out, and I'm an EE major. I have a LOT to learn. Next semester I'll be in ECE 190 and I hear that if you don't know C, you will be in for a tough class. I don't know C.

IExpo is Wednesday. It should be alright, I think what my ESS group is doing is really cool, except I can't tell you and spoil the surprise. I guess we are still going to do iTeams next semester... I hope they become less stressful. Lots of enthusiasm in iFoundry as a whole has dropped, to put it frankly. Not that it can't continue, but is it improving things? That is the question that the people in charge will have to think about. The goal of iFoundry was to basically make engineers more aware of the complexities of the real world. I suppose it has, anything that makes you go over and above will make you learn things that you wouldn't normally learn. I think that some things should probably be changed. The whole "my iTeam has to have an event every week and change the world" idea should be halted. Please. We are also trying to do well in our classes, and it just isn't possible. Eng 198 is good. Some of the lectures have been iffy just because they are saying things that are common sense, but others have been good. And if iFoundry wanted an iCommunity, they have one. I recognize kids from iFoundry and we actually kind of know each other. And in Eng 198, I can honestly say I know at least half of the kids names. Ok that sounds bad.. it's only a class of 30.. haha. But you get my point, in my normal lectures or normal discussions, I know probably 10% or less of people's names.

I wish everybody good luck on finals!!! And I believe that this is my final blog (7!!!!), so Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!!!


The dress of the future, it lights up!!
