Apartment Hunting

I hate apartment hunting. At least in Boulder. Why must every single bedroom apartment here cost twice what they do in every other city? It's not like housing here in Boulder is particularly spiffy. My apartment now for example is a tremendous shithole. Yet it still costs as much as a decent home would per month in Boise. I can't wait to get the math out of Boulder come my graduation, if only to find a reasonably priced place to live...

In other news, I finally jumped on the smart-phone bandwagon. Yee-haw. I'm the brand new owner of an htc hd7. It's pretty nifty I suppose. the relatively cheap unlimited data-plan (30 bucks a month = Shazam) was what really convinced me to take the plunge. Anyway, it's real shiny and i'm scared I'm going to sit on it and break it in half. That's life!

My new semester seems like it's going to be rather shitty, but at least I'll be 21 for the majority of it, so I can drown my sorrows in expensive alcohol....

Back and Ready for Action

...Not quite, actually. I could use a couple more weeks of vacation, but that's life. I'm diving headlong into another nasty looking semester. But fear not friends, because I have a plan! Last semester I learned that even spending 8 hours a day working towards A's lands me with B's anyway, so I'm cutting down on work hours. I can finally run again if all goes according to plan!

Engineering is a bit like stage 3 syphilis in that I can't get it out of my head. I figure getting some exercise again will at the very least revitalize me a bit. I might even end up doing yoga also. Crazy, I know.

oh, FYI, my 21st is right around the corner, so be prepared for an adventure come 12am on the 29th. Or, at the very least, come ready to drown your sorrows in sweet sweet alcohol. I need to order some textbooks, because I procrastinated... And check out my new side-project over here. There's nothing there yet, but I'm going to start a drawing thing. It's going to be algebraic!
