Quick update on my immediate future. I am leaving this Sunday, May 4, for Budapest Hungary. Two of my friends will accompany me. We will stay with my parents for 2 nights. On May 7, we will board a plane to St. Petersburg, Russia. We will stay there for 4 nights. We will take a train to Moscow, where we will stay 4 nights. We then board a train bound for Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia.

It is April 7, and it is snowing in Michigan. I hate this place!

Yesterday (Sunday), I worked in the computer lab from 9:30am until about 7:30/8:00pm. I am working on our 3rd project in EECS 489, the Networking class. This project is a multicast game – multiplayer. it is pretty fun, but a bunch of work. I will be working very late tonight. I think well past 3am. Tonight, I will fax the Russian company our order form for the Russian part of the summer trip.

Yesterday in my CIS 301 class (the business computing course I am in), we were doing a database lab. The professor gave some instructions that involved typing in the astrisk (*) character. One of the students in the class rose his hand and asked “how to we type an astrisk?” That is just sad…

I am in the computer lab, have been since 7:45pm my time. This is the third night in a row that I am here past 4am (well, it will be in 10 minutes). We are just about done with our project, so I don’t anticipate being here much longer… I have a 9am class. :-)

Hi, it is almost 10am, and I am off to the library to study for my character quiz. Last night, I worked on a group project for my Networks class until about 4:30am. The previous night, we worked until just after 4am. It is still not done, and it happens to be due in 8 minutes. Thank goodness for late days. I really hope tonight will be an earlier night, but worse things have happened.
