happy halloween!!!!!!!!

so....basically i just feel like writing....so thats what i'm going to do! not much has been going on lately, actually let me rephrase that....not much "out of the ordinary" has been going on. basically just been keeping busy with school. i think right now we have 25 school days until the end of the semester!! thats so exciting! but the bad thing is, when the semester winds down...so much begins to happen. for example...the robot project. well up until today we've just basically been doing research for it and we've been good with that cause we haven't had to really put out a lot of effort yet....well thats until today! our advisor told us we need to get some of our parts and start testing them to see what they will do and if they'll even work right, so tomorrow caleb and i are going to radio shack to see just what exactly can be found. kristin, (the group is myself, kristin and caleb) is gone to texas for the weekend, so caleb and myself are working on it by ourself tomorrow and then caleb is going to boston next week to do some genetically engineered competition...he's so smart!! and i think its possible that he might even be going to go interview with harvard med school on his trip....yeah thats right, hes so smart he can basically get into med school anywhere he wants haha im just glad hes my buddy!!! actually kristin and i both are and everyone else is mad cause he chose to work with us and not them....whatevs! so anyway, we're bout to kick it in high gear with the little buggy robot....not sure if im excited or not.

so im pretty sure i bombed another biochem test...those tests are so ridiculous!! i think i'll get my grade back tomorrow, but i seriously am praying that God is going to help me somehow in the end....i've been trying so hard, but somehow i just cant get it together in that class. at this point im hoping for a C...if i get a D then im going to retake it next semester and well thats just going to add more work to my otherwise easy semester!! im so scared about that class....and i thought organic was bad...pssshh.

lets see...oh, this is interesting. so i got invited to join this engineering honor society...im pretty sure its a big deal. def bigger deal than i thought it was to begin with, but im pretty stoked about it. only like the top 5% of the senior engineering class is invited to join and its like this really secretive type thing. like we have to get 20 signatures, 10 student members and 10 faculty members. its so awkward getting faculty signatures because you walk into their offices and ask for their signature and they sign the paper and ask you what your major is and then nearly everyone of them stand up and shake your hand and say congratulations...i swear all 10 of them have done that....must be a secret tau beta pi handshake...hmm. so also, we have these "bents" basically what they are a brass representation of our little symbol thing. so when you get these bents they are really ugly and like bumpy, well i guess as a way to teach us pride, they make us polish these bents. basically you take files and sandpaper and you work on it until your hands hurt to get it to be "mirror finish" of course i just started on mine and its due tomorrow by 5...needless to say mine probably wont be the best, but it'll be ok. i've got the front pretty much done...i really cant believe what it looked like before and what it looks like now....its pretty awesome!!! but i have a blister and my hands are green...you know like if you wear fake jewlery green....eeewww. so then we do this and turn it in tomorrow and they judge all the new intiates' bents and they have three different colors. if you get a white ribbon, you did ok....red, you did a little better...blue, you rocked it! and then of course the red, white and blue ribbon goes to the best polished bent of the intiate class....believe me that wont be me!! haha i'll probably be sportin a white, yeah you heard me right, we have to sport them. in a couple off weeks all the initiates dress up in like business attire and you have to wear your bent around your neck like a medal all day long! that afternoon you go into a secret induction ceremony and then a formal dinner. all i got to say is this should be interesting!! but honestly im excited, i know it just further certifies me as a geek, but its a pretty big deal in the engineering community. probably no one else will ever know what it is but its an accomplishment nonetheless! so anyway i think thats about the most interesting thing that has happened to me this week.

last friday night i attended the bsu's annual barn party. yes it was in a big ole barn and yes we square danced for hours!! its so so so fun! an awesome time!! well ok...im going to bed now cause im tired. sorry i just ramble on and on when i get on here. im sure you probably dont want to know all this boring stuff....but im going to write it anyway!
