April showers...

Man... its been a month already. Where to start...

A few weeks ago we sent out flyers for window washing, thinking that the weather had gotten nice for good. That was foolish. It was only March, after all. Last Sunday brought about 3-5 inches of snow. Then it got nice for a few days... and then today, as I walked out of my class this morning at 9 I found myself in the middle of a blizzard. And then another hour later it was gone. Stupid. I write way too much about weather. Sorry.

Yes, I'm still washing windows. And probably will be for the rest of my life. It pays well. But it isn't consistent enough to keep me here for the summer. That's why I'm headed back home to work for EraMed. Back to the grunge work. It'll be fun though, and I'll hopefully be washing some windows on the side. I've been thinking up some ideas for things to do while I'm home to break the boredom (what?). Hopeful plans include Rockies v. Phillies in late May, a Yankees game at the soon to be razed Yankee Stadium, some Reading Phillies games, and perhaps the construction of a certain medieval weapon known as a ballista. Mmm... looks dangerous.

Classes are winding down. Everything is going exceptionally well with the exception of Calculus. We'll see. I'm pulling for a generous curve. In my CAD class, we recently finished a project where we reverse-engineered a folding military shovel, I think it turned out pretty nice. Our last project has us creating a product that is engineered to fit on the human body. They give us scanned data (of a head, arm, leg, etc.) and we build glasses, watches, body armor, etc. that fits it. Fun.

Ah... let's see... what else. I apologize for the poor showing by the BYU b-ball team in the tourney. It's ok though, because our football team is going to make up for it by being the BCS-buster this fall. It's gonna be sweet. Just watch.

Oh, and the mustache... yeah... I think it lasted like 8 days maybe. I can't do it. My hair, however, has not been cut in about 2 months (don't worry, mom, it got trimmed around the edges a few weeks ago). I still can't decide if I like it or not... depends on the day.

That's it. Go C-Rox.
