Well folks, I tried. I was actually going to finally change the Poll for you and give you a new topic to discuss amongst yourselves. It was a good one too. However, changing my email address has irrepairably confused Sparklit, the people that provide my polls. So its saying that I don't have the access to change or make a new poll. However, I can't make a new account cause I have one registered under my old email address with an account change to my new email. So it says I'm already a member. This may actually prompt me to do what I've been threatening to do all along and make my own poll in CGI that runs off my own site. They're cooler anyway. But alas, that will take time to figure out and time is not a commodity I have a surplus of at this juncture.

I have been working really hard at class. My group in 349 has decided that we're not just gonna rest on our laurels. If we understand something, we're going to move on. And if we don't understand something, we're gonna figure it out and then move on. We want to be done with all the labs by Thanksgiving. Currently we are about a week and a half ahead of schedule, but the labs are going to continue to get harder with less and less instruction for us as we try to decipher the problem statement. Consequently, I've been in open lab every night this week and will continue to do so up until Friday. Every night from 6-9. Not too bad, but it does kind of keep me from every having a chance to lounge like I like to. It's not the hardest life one could lead, but you all know how I feel about having time to do nothing.

Well, technically today is September 11, 2002, so I feel like I should make a comment about the day. Its not every day that we have a reason to look back on the past year with gratitude and solemn remembrance of a time like that day. I just want everyone that I know to know that I'm glad you're here and you're all very important to me. If I don't express it enough, its because we live in a country where we can take things like that for granted. And that, I believe, is a great gift to us all. Anyway, before this gets too sappy, I'm gonna hit the sack for my early circuit design lab tomorrow that I DO NOT want to go to. Alas ... I'll czech you skillets on the flip side. Laaaaaaaaaate.
