I miss playing video games

Dang, this week has been so busy, and I didn't even have all my classes. I met my Engineering group. I think I've got a good team, and I hope this good feeling lasts throughout the whole year.

Being focused on the summer math project has reduced my ability to multitask. As it turns out I will have massive blocks of free time between certain classes, so hopefully I can utilize that to the fullest by doing homework.

My mom said she wants me to go down to Douglas with her next weekend. Her dad's birthday is this month, so it figures we should clean up the grave. Been like 6 months. Dang. Already. Time flies. That's why class always seems so much longer. It's basic relativity. I think. Physics people? Help? Granted, I think the time difference for even going 100 mph compared to being sedentary is like one picosecond, but there's your evidence.

I think I figured out where I'm applying for grad school. No real big names. I think I want a downsize. Granted, grad school programs are microcosms in their own sense, but here at the U even in my class of 100 Engineers I don't feel all that special.

Mechanical-
Arizona
Maryland

Math-
UC Merced (Applied)
Arizona (Applied)
Arizona (Stats)
New Mexico (Applied)

If I have any money left, maybe Berkeley for Mech. Still need to hear from Berkeley on whether or not I made the Edge Program, but since I haven't heard from them at all my guess is that they didn't pick me. I thought it weird that they extended the deadline. What, there weren't enough good people for the regular deadline? That was insulting in a way. Also, nnote to self- MATH GRE!!!!!

Got some books for my birthday. Really should read those. Really should read the ones I actually bought myself. Really should read the ones for class. Words, grr. Where would we be without you? Definitely not blogging, that's for sure.

I need to work on my admissions essay for grad schools. I actually need to make 2 and a half since I'm applying to different programs. Bugger. The big issue I need to figure out is whom to get rec letters from, especially in my Mech classes.

Ideas-
AME 324B teacher- I talked with him like twice
AME Advisor- I'm definitely on his good side
Dr. Chan- Brent knows him. He's teaching one of my classes now. Plus he's the guy in charge of graduate school admissions.

Other than that, I might be coming down with a cold. I like making playlists on imeem.com. I almost finally got 5 Star on Raining Blood on Guitar Hero- the last song I need to 5 Star on Expert Career Mode- by 400 points, or 2 well placed notes. Grr. I honestly think it was a fluke. The less I think about it, the better I do at it. How's that for logic?

I need to find an additional class to sign up for in the Spring. Maybe two, silly full time-status requirements. I techinically only need 7 units to graduate (how awesome is that?) but I figure I should take an extra math class to up my cred. Any ideas?

Oh, and I also got a new toy for my birthday. Seriously, what am I gonna do with it? My regular computer works fine...
