More to update everyone on...but first...I must say this is a pretty good ad:

3M Puts Its Money Where Its Mouth Is

:)

something's come over me and i think i just need a few minutes right now just to think about things. i've been pretty short with people in the last 2 days...silently though. i didn't say anything but for some reason i've just been easily irritated and i don't want that to be me at all. for the most part i think it's really just because i'm adjusting from the off-reading-week and being away from someone super important to me. i almost cried again today but i'm also trying to pull myself together since it's going to be a bad week. my head hurts and i've just been so exhausted even though i really have no right to be; other people work just as hard or harder and keep ticking. i hate being so down. underneath it, i'm also stressed about school and probably not handling that very well either.

despite work and stuff, i half-committed myself to going climbing with friends next week. i'm worried about how much time i have to spare but i mean i should be able to take a night off to be with people i want to see and haven't seen in a while and to do something i used to really love doing. :)

i've also been thinking about gradball which i'd like to go to to see my friends before graduation separates us all, but it also stinks that the person i want to go with won't be able to be there (for very good reasons, i might add). so i'll probably figure that out by end-of-week (esp since tickets need to be bought by then).

i think the best news is that iron ring is next week :) i'm looking forward to it a lot -- the $28k ring that took me 5 years to get :)

and now...to go work on design and hopefully not start touching code that doesn't even pertain to this part of the project like i did earlier :)

oddly, i do feel a little better after blogging. hrm. maybe i should do this more often :)

It's 3:40am and i'm no where near done the design report that's due later today. My design partners are very likely completely done but it's funny seeing their MSN names which read "DIE DESIGN DIE!!!" and "DEATH FOR PROJECT REPORT 2" :)
