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!

Sorry this semester is hard. Zachary would love your football game - he plays that all the time. In a few days, we will see you face to face. Then pretty soon - quarter break! YEAH!
Like Zach didn't already worship the ground you walk on...so you go and make the ultimate, super-nerd version of one of his favorite games.
4 years at one of America's top engineering schools and you know how to play table top football the way my buddies and I did in 7th grade. I'm impressed.
I think it's WAY cool, erin! Good job! I'm sure dan would like to play it too!
Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!
You are everything that has to do with cool.
I will be honored to be in your presence for Thanksgiving. And I'm jealous of Mom and Dad who already got to do so this past weekend.
CAN'T WAIT!!!
