BEHOLD, THE ULTIMATE BATTLE OF GOOD AND EVIL HAS FINALLY ARRIVED. THE BATTLE OF BATTLES, ONE WHICH SHALL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE BATTLE THAT NEARLY DESTROYED THE UNIVERSE. WHO WILL WALK HOME VICTORIOUS? AND WHO WILL BE CAST DOWN INTO THE VAST VILES OF THE UNDERBELLY OF THE WORLD NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN, LET TO LIVE AN EMBARRESMENT TO THE HUMAN RACE, OR ANY RACE FOR THAT MATTER? WHO WILL IT BE?

CHUCK (ROUNDHOUSE) NORRIS VERSUS....

BILLY (POWDER) CORGAN....

IT BEGINS, NOW!!! LET'S GET IT ON!!!

Ahhhhhhhhh.... rainy day! Not much of a day for bike riding or kayaking or anything outside for that matter. It is, however, a good day for watching DVDs, some spring cleaning, and writing a good blog. School is finished, and I'm still waiting for most of my grades but the ones I have are pretty awesome!

Mostly, I've been taking the last week pretty easy to refresh myself from a killer finals week. I had to drive all the way up to Newark and back to drop off the senior design project and bring Ryan back to UConn. He is a lousy navigator and I ended up missing the junction with I-495. Then after driving all the way to Boston, I missed the Mass Pike exit and had to turn around on MA-9 during rush hour. All things considered, I think I would have rather taken an exam.

I don't really have any big plans at the moment - just taking one day at a time and enjoying the ride. This is gonna be a fun week!

It has been quite a long month. Mostly, I've been busy doing those jobs that Americans supposedly don't want to do. But, at least I get to work outside. And the pay is pretty awesome - I've already paid off all my living expenses from last semester and most of the upcoming trip to Florida in less than a month!

I was hoping to avoid more summer classes this year, but I've decided to finish with a math degree after all. Sooooooooo... bring on the textbooks! It's gonna be a lovely, sweaty, humid three hours a day in a tiny MSB classroom!

Two of my mice died over the weekend. Now I am down to only five. It makes me sad.

Speaking of this past weekend, I brought Amanda up to Rhode Island to meet my father and the Ocean State sector of my family on Saturday. We spent the day in Newport and Jamestown looking at the mansions, going to parks, and walking the cliffside trail.

Sunday, we went to Bryant's party for lunch and to Waterford to meet with my family later in the evening.

I finally got my grades back for this past semester! I finished with a 3.0, which is pretty good considering how much time I had to sacrifice for my senior design project. I was pretty disappointed with my Senior Design grade - a B-. Although, I'm not really surprised considering how little interest my proffesor took in it.
