So, it’s been over a month since I’ve updated this site. Oops. Well, summer is pretty much over. Not completely in the seasonal sense, but classes start on Tuesday and that’s about the only sense that matters to me. I’ve dropped just over $100 on books so far and I’ll probably end up spending another $100 before things are said and done. Oh well. School won’t be too bad, right?

In the past 2 weeks, everyone has moved into the apartment. First was Sean, he brought up a foosball table. It’s pretty awesome. Chris and Rochelle arrived a while later. Rochelle’s room was being used as a storage room for all of us, and it was bad news when they showed up and I realized how much stuff I had lying in there. It’s taken me until just a few hours ago to clean/organize/throw away all of it. My room is finally in a liveable state. Also, I took the time to put my class schedule for this semester into HTML. You’ll see a link to it over on the right column. Chow.

Hehe…writing this post from my PDA because…well…I guess I can. This is all scribbled out in graffiti though, so I must be going.

Well, I’ve spent most of yesterday and some of today building a workbench for my room. It’s nice to have the extra surface space, especially when I can use it for fixing things or building my RC airplane. I was able to scrounge up almost all of the construction materials from random stuff left in one of the rooms in my apartment, which I’m quite happy about. Had to buy a few tools at the hardware store, but not too much. This is the first time I’ve ever used a handsaw to do anything significant. I couldn’t quite justify buying an electric circular saw just for this project. Something else I’d like to note- the fan pictured above is actually on. I’m surprised my camera doesn’t show even the slightest motion blur there.

Today, of course is (was?) the fourth of July. I went to go see fireworks in South Range. They had an OK show, especially considering the size of the town. I was actually quite impressed with the grand finale though, one of the better ones I’ve seen. It was very well done. That’s all for me; I’ve got to get up tomorrow morning.
