Summer End

The summer is drawing to a close with this weekend moving back onto campus and next Tuesday the beginning of classes.

This past weekend was really great. The picnic on Saturday led to time playing volleyball and paddling on a canoe. It was kind of foolish to have bring my digital camera along for the canoe ride, but it made for use of some great pics of the water splashing wars.

On Sunday, I went with a group of friends to visit another friend in New York. Time Square and Long Island were really interesting. I didn’t get to see all of the sights possible, but more the reason to come back sometime later on. I had fun. Although the bus ride back to Boston made me realize that there’s still much to this city that I haven’t seen yet either.

I guess the most memorable aspects of my summer took place within 3 days towards the end. I can’t yet to determine if this was really meant to be the end of my summer or merely an introduction on the things yet to come about for senior year.

Catch 22

I don’t know what the best course of action is…the truth is everything is coming up about quickly and I’m not sure how prepared I am.

Aside from that, I’m looking forward to what seems to be a fun filled weekend, starting with a picnic on Saturday and then a trip to New York on Sunday.

Google Talk

Google has just released their own IM service, named Google Talk.

People should check it out. I wonder how it’ll fair against AIM, MSN, and Yahoo IM services.

I want the dreams that will have me waking up ready to take on the new day.

On a side note, CNN has an interesting article on the current college majors that pay the most. Although I didn’t get into the major for the salary, kind of cool to know that hard work will pay off. Now actually finding an engineering job after graduation is another story.

College majors that boost your paycheck

It’s Monday again…

About three more weeks until school starts again. Amazing how fast time has past. I’m also done with working for the summer, so now I’ll to find things to do to keep me occupied.

For tech related stuff: I’ve been reading on people’s exploits to get Mac OSX to work on their x86 machines. After working on so many Apple machines during the course of the summer, I can say that there are several things I like/dislike about OSX. On the otherhand, I’ve been trying to get back into using Linux.

In the meantime I’ve been trying to get the BUVSA up and running.

Sometimes concentrating only on our weaknesses blind us from the strength that lies within.

Self Reflection Day

Life’s little cruel joke is that i found a strand of gray hair this morning.

Other than that the day has pretty much went smoothly. Thanks to everyone who left a msg or called me, that pretty much cheered me up.
