Waking up

So as I'm trying to get myself motivated and out of bed this morning, my wonderful wife decides to ask me a question. Let me play it out for you:

Her: Do you remember where you were 5 years ago right now?
Me: mmm... sleeping
Her: Do you remember where?
Me: (after thinking a minute)... in the hospital
Her: (laughter)

To bring some of you up to speed. We were married 5 years ago tomorrow, and 5 years ago yesterday I had my bachelor party. Yes, the party got to the point where 5 years ago this morning I awoke to find myself in the hospital. For anyone who is going to get married in the future - don't let your bachelor party get this far. Trust me. When a nurse tells you that your blood alcohol level was .34, then you know that your party went to far. When people can still smell the alcohol on your breath the night AFTER the party, then you know you drank too much. When your "friends" try to convince you to NOT tell your future wife about the party, then you know that it may be time to look at new friends. While it was a VERY, VERY crappy way to start off a marriage, I am glad that we are both able to laugh at it now. I also consider myself to be truly blessed by God to have such a wonderful woman in my life. She has supported me through everything and loves me more than I thought humanly possible.

On that sappy note, time to end the coffee break and get back to work. Enjoy your holiday weekend. Adios.

And now... the end is near...

It still hasn't hit me that school is finally over. So its taken me awhile to finally get a college degree, but its done. I think the scary part is that I've already started looking at classes that I can take to help keep me educated. Well, its a busy day at CSP since its laptop return time. Just a quick update and then back to the grindstone. Adios!

Scheduling

So half the class is sitting outside of our classroom waiting for the first final of the day to begin. That was supposed to be 20 minutes ago. It looks like the prof had the dates mixed up and our final isn't supposed to be until tomorrow morning. I am not waking up at 5am again tomorrow to take this final. Arg! It would figure that our class would get screwed at the end like this. Its happened a couple of times it seems like, so why not end the semester the same way. I can understand mistakes, they happen to all of us, so I'm not mad at the prof, I just was expecting to get this out of the way right now. My plans are already set for what I'm doing and where I'll be tomorrow morning. Hopefully since it's all online, he'll just post the final, put on a time limit and let us do it when we get the chance. Well, if I'm going to be sittin and waiting, I guess I can get some more studying in. Adios.

Texas

Well I just found out the other day that a good friend from Mequon is moving to Texas! My jaw hit the floor when he mentioned that he was going to Tomball! So I'm pretty sure the end of the world is coming since it seems like good friends are all going to Tomball, TX. At the very least this gives Elsa and I more of a reason to make the 1250 mile trip on down there. If they could just ease up on the heat a bit down there I'd be all set for moving, but oh well.

Not much else new on the homefront. This is the last week of classes, and then next week is finals. I can't believe that 3 years has gone by this quickly. Of to do some more work and get ready for final papers and projects.
