this weekend i spent a lot of it doing hw. i finished up the stuff i have due tomorrow. i have more due on Thursday. actually, the “more” is one problem that will take me a few pages of writing to finish. i hate taking two classes. i may have mentioned it a couple of times. even when i finish one assignment, i have another waiting for me. i got my first test back in each class on Friday. i passed, but not by much. i expected it for my combustion class, because it was one of those engineering tests with two problems….that’s it. i did okay, considering, on the first problem, i had used the wrong compound formation for octane (C8H18) by using C3H8. at least the prof gave me partial credit since i got the process for the question right, kind of. my other test, i don’t know who graded it, but they were probably communist. i hardly got any partial credit, and it was almost as if they relished taking points off when i got close with stuff. however, now i feel better about the rest of the semester since i know what to expect on the tests. hopefully i won’t get to allow the graders to use their pens so much for the next exams.

i was able to get some work done yesterday and then watch some football last night. the Clemson game was pretty much like a punch to the stomach. the LSU game on the other hand let me not hate the entire day. thank you Les Miles!

in other news…i sent off my resume for two new job openings last week, one in colorado (!) and one would keep me here, but i would travel around everywhere. plus, a guy from the group in Virginia called me and asked me to send my resume to him. when it rains it pours. it’s pretty exciting that i’m getting these chances….and it’d be nice if one of them came through. even if none of them do, i figure next year i’ll have some options.

and finally, the autumn of concerts has begun. i went and saw david crowder band on Wednesday. it was pretty great, although i don’t like the new songs as much as the last album. the highlight for me was when they did “never let go“, which he prefaced by saying “this is a song from the new album that i don’t think could more perfectly be for the city of new orleans.” a cool part i thought was on the way into the show, there were people handing out pieces of paper with mission opportunities listed (i’m assuming they’ll be doing this at every tour stop). contact numbers, web address, things we could do locally to ‘be the remedy’. i thought that was pretty awesome. the concept of the album can pretty much be summed up on this webpage. i love that.
