Sorry about the long time since I last updated. This quarter is doing it's best to kill me, so most of my time is spent preventing that from happening.

Volleyball is almost over, for which I am extremely grateful. We have one more practice tomorrow and one more game on Wednesday, then I am done.

I am working on a project that will become a football game for one class. This class consumes more time than I thought possible, but our game will be sweet once we finish. It's really a simple idea, it's a field goal game, just flicking a paper football through the uprights, but we will be building a nice game board with movable uprights. The teams are Illinois and Michigan, and the game lights up an LED by each name when it is that player's turn. Then you get 20 seconds to kick a field goal. If you make it, your score on the LCD screen goes up by one. The first team to reach 5 points sets of the buzzer which plays that team's fight song and the LCD announces that you won. It's fun, but mostly just a pile of wires and a computer program right now. :)

Mom and Dad are coming to visit me this weekend! I'm excited and ready to show them around. It will be fun.

I can't wait for break. Sleep, food, turkey,Elyse's birthday, family, and some relaxing....it will be so nice. See you all soon!

Fall Break

In Kentucky today, heading to Virginia tomorrow. We lost in 4 today to Transylvania. It was a pretty good match, after the first 2 games. Very disappointing, though. Tomorrow should go better, after a nice long trip on a bus. I think it's supposed to be 8 hours or something.

I get to go see a brand new niece soon! Maybe this Sunday, maybe next Friday, or the weekend after. I'm not sure, but I can't wait! See y'all soon.

Career Fair

Yesterday was our Rose-Hulman career fair. We had 210 companies attend, a record for us. I'm on the career fair team, so we set up Tuesday night and on Wednesday I was required to work the fair outside of actually attending it.

It was amazing. I talked to lots of companies (got lots of free stuff, hehe), and today I have two interviews. I have to apply online for another job as well, and I am waiting to hear back from another company. This is a big day, I'm a little nervous.

I'll let you know how the interviews go. Gotta go get ready. :) Lacey, hope you're hanging in there ok. SOOOON, no worries!
