This semester has been insane. I'm still unemployed. I've been really full up on homework every night. I'm working with two of my classmates to create an online recipe management system using Java and MySQL. It's not that complex but we're utilizing proper systems analysis and design techniques the whole way, which is fun (kinda). I'm also learning assembly language in my computer architecture course. We're designing a CPU emulator for some scientific robots. My non-major classes are interesting as well. I think currently I'm carrying all A's, or close to that figure.
Student Government Association is going well, I believe we'll actually accomplish some good things this year, so keep your eyes peeled to events around IUSB if you attend. We're hoping to get a revised smoking ban that will designate a smoking area on campus instead of a campus-wide ban that isn't enforced. We're working on getting more 24 hour study spaces, beefing up security around the school, and improving the way advising is done across campus.
I've also been working with some other students in starting a radio station on campus. Actually having a broadcast frequency on FM radio is a pipe dream at the moment but we're working on getting an internet stream up and potentially having a 1 credit hour class next semester, which would grab some much needed support from the administration.
I've been too busy to keep up with some of my favorite hobbies. My bass is collecting dust in the corner of my room, my blog has been neglected, and my camera has sat with an empty memory card for a few weeks (although I did take some pictures today).
No one else has been blogging either though, I suppose they are busy as well.
The least interesting man in the world?

Hopefully this isn't what people who read my blog think of me. I spent last weekend in Chicago with Kate, Laurie and her sister MG were staying over as well for Lollapalooza. It was fun, but too short. Kate and I didn't actually go to Lolla due to lack of interest in the lineup (the loss of Beastie Boys was a real kicker). I'll buy some presale tickets for 60 bucks this year so I can go without feeling guilty for paying the $200 for the three day pass.
Summer has gone by far too quickly. I've done some fun things, gone to a few concerts and completed some projects. School starts on August 31st and I've got a solid schedule ahead of me.
My new favorite blog
I'm totally obsessed with looking at every one of these pictures from Sorry I Missed Your Party.
These are my current favorite posts:

My mustache is coming along nicely.
new years cleanup
Ive changed the theme on my blog once again, cleaned up my room, and cleaned up my server. i've been trying to clean up things around the house in preparation for school next week. I haven't purchased any books yet, and I'm trying to save some cash for that. Still working on that To-Do list, it's growing larger every day. Christmas break was nice, I'm glad I got to see everyone, and sad I didn't get to see some people (I got the flu the day after Christmas and missed out on a bar-meetup of several college buds.) Oh well.
