*yawns peacefully* I think i'll update :)

College is monstrous this year. But it's working out very well. Sorta.
My professors had mercy on me and allowed me, for the most part, to finish my unfinished reports and such this week (Spring Break), so I am not completely swamped in pain and suffering ;) So, I have at least three reports I need to write this week.
And, I logged my first 22+ hour day last Thursday. I woke up at 5:30 and started programming work at 5:40. 9 hours later, at 3:00 p.m., I was finished with work, school, and advising appointments, and so I started my two-problem quiz that was due the next day. 13 hours later, at 3:50 a.m. the next morning, I finished the quiz. I then drive home, finally hitting the haysack at 4:30. then wake up at 7:00 the next morning and hit it again. (I only worked until 5 on Friday, don't worry). Then Spring Break!!! and 12 or so hours straight of peaceful sleep :)

For anyone who cares, there is free software called PDFCreator that is very useful, in that it registers as a printer, but converts into PDF format. So, any software that prints can be converted into a PDF document. This is more useful in the business world, but I thought I'd mention it anyway :)

AND I'm engaged :D I did mention this already, but it's still a great happiness in my life :) (it makes me smile a lot) :)

hmm... what else...
my computer talks :) (almost) and listens :) (almost)
I'm teaching my computer speech and speech recognition in my spare time :)

And I'm marrying a wonderful woman :)

(my life really does seem to consist almost entirely of school and fiance and God)

speaking of God, I'll be doing the lesson the fourth Sunday evening at our church.

And that's pretty much my life right now :)

hope the update was interesting and stuff

    You just had to put the *'s in there didn't you? Anyway, I worked with voice recognition on an older computer. It's fun for a while, but in the long run it's so much easier to type and click.

Okay, so a real update:

Most of the time, I just play around on Pleonast, tantalizing you poor souls who keep up with my life by giving you only sparse details, leaving you wanting more and often confused about rubber ducks and such. So, I figured I'd actually update about my life with enough information to be considered an actual update:

I proposed to Shanna-Kaye Betts on December 26th at the Tyler Rose Gardens :) she laughed, she cried,and she said yes :D We are planning, Lord-willing, on getting married June 12th. We will be working on the invitation list very soon, most of you will probably be receiving invites via facebook :)

I am currently in the second semester of my Junior year in college, I'll have one more year left after we get married. My schedule this year, as of now, is:
Automatic Controls ...MWF 9-9:50
Electronics 2 ............MWF 10-10:50
Signals and Systems:MWF 11-11:50
Design Methodology...TTh...9:30-11
Microprocessors........TTh...11-12:15
MATLAB...................W......1-1:50
Electronics 2 Lab.......T.......2-5
Linear Circ 1 Lab........W......2-5
Microprocessors Lab..Th.....2-5

C tutoring job..............Th....12-2
.................................M.....12-4
Robotics Meeting........F......12-2

I have stepped down as the President of the Robotics Team, and am now simply a member working on the team. I doubt I will be able to update much after today, as I will be swamped by classes.

Your prayers would be appreciated, as I will need God's help to make it through this semester, through my life, really :)
I hope yall are all well, I may try to update occasionally, but it will usually only be to let yall know I'm alive :)
If anyone is curious why I'm so suicidal, taking on so much, I can try to explain, but all will reveal itself in due time if you would like to simply sit back and watch my life unfold :)

  • kristianbunny
    yes, my darling, I do recall this small piece of information...
    and it saddens me deeply! ;)
    by kristianbunny at 01/30/10 9:05AM

School is atrocious this year

It might be the 18 hours I signed up for.
It might be the electrical engineering degree I chose to pursue, and the math associated therein.
It might be that I'm getting married soon.
It might be that there's been a rubber duck spontaneously appearing everywhere I go. But probably not.

One way or another, this semester is quite a heavy load. :) It's gonna be rough, and I doubt I'll have time for anything, and yet somehow I'll do everything.
Quite contradictory, I admit, but most of you already know me well enough to know this is quite normal :)

School has started, it's gonna be a tough year. Good new is, if I pull this off, I'll have alot less on my plate when I get married :)

I hope yall have all had a great week, and that God is continuing to bless each of you in your lives :)

God bless :)
oh, and I think I completely forgot about it, so:
Merry Christmas! (late, I know :)

I've noticed something about my postings :)

I have come to the audacious conclusion that there is a thoroughly predictable pattern in my postings: I only post on important events :)
For example:
School has started
Holiday is approaching
Im president of the Robotics Team
I'm engaged to Shanna-kaye Betts

ya know, important stuff :)

Update

Because my sister asked :)

Life is good, classes are tough, I'm completely overwhelmed by everything I'm involved in right now, but enjoying all of it :)

I somehow managed to get sick twice last week, not much fun, but I'll live :)

And Thanksgiving break is almost here! :) yay :)

Gotta go now, classes beckon and my homework threatens to disembowel me unless I overwhelm it with my superior intellect and overwhelming dedication :)

  • waynezworld007
    you actually just went into remission because you didnt get enough sleep/chill time/food
    by waynezworld007 at 11/16/09 8:04PM
  • Pocahontas♥
    I am beginning to realize how truly intense/overwhelming it can be... :/ *sigh* But I suppose it will all be worth it someday, right? :)

    Haha! Yes indeed. Superior intellect + overwhelming dedication - any signs of procrastination = success in college. (or anything else in life for that matter..) :P Love u my brotha!

    Homework threatening to disembowel you? Your life sounds way cooler than mine!

  • kristianbunny
