Update

Regarding life choices,

• I love my job at National Instruments as a DAQ Mechanical Engineering Intern. I've never been challenged this much and I love it.
  
• I am definitely going to graduate school in mechanical engineering in fall 2009. I'm not sure where because I haven't even taken the GRE, let alone applied, but I am confident that grad school is the path I am going to take. I changed my mind again and I think I want to study Manufacturing and Design. I want to design things that make the world go 'round. 
• I wish UT ME offered courses on industrial design. I think that's one of the most fascinating things ever right now.
• Someone from Lockheed Martin called about a position as an ME in Fort Worth. Lockheed Martin! I really hope that works out; I really need a co-op for the spring semester after graduation and Lockheed is one of my dream jobs.

Regarding boring details,

• I'm going to clean my room finally! (maybe)
• I waxed my right hand, especially my right two fingers. I've been out of the cast for a month and it was still black and manly and I couldn't take it anymore. However, I did get my entire range of motion back.
• I'm doing yoga at work
• I am the tannest I've ever been in my entire life thanks to floating the river twice. I have tan lines!! My butt is totally bruised from floating, but the rapids were worth it!
• I want to get an iPhone, but hate that it's a $2000 commitment
• Ex-boyfriends are lame, except ones that let me borrow their puppies while they get married and honeymoon. Rent-a-puppy!

I haven't updated in a while

I'm working on top secret stuff at work and it's totally time consuming, but I love it.

Boom de yada!

Ashley's hand: the movie

I <3 Victor and Stephen

I am going to miss these guys so much. Congratulations to all the graduates!

Rivers looks less hot with a mustache

But the video for "Pork and Beans" is brilliant, especially for huge YouTube addicts like me. Finally I can really look at him as a nerdy Harvard student.

My screen is dirty

Adorable puppies to the rescue!

Tim is happy

I just had lunch with the guy I dated for two years, who I haven't spoken to for two years. It went astonishingly well. He's happy and has an adorable puppy and fiance and he's graduating in only 3 1/2 years. He really grew up. I want to puppysit Barley while they get married this summer. No joke. 

Berkeley

Let the application process begin. Crossing my fingers for Stanford, Berkeley, and CalTech. This is so adorable!!

I'm so proud of Kingwood

Gotta love this:

3 accused of using corpse head to smoke pot

It's even in perezhilton.com and drudgereport.com. Honestly, Queens of Armed Robbery, now this? It's just disgusting. I could go on a really long rant, but it's frustrating to type with only my left hand. Only 16 more days!

Apple WWDC '08

I have nothing to do with this conference, but I'm digging the poster templates and design advice. Mac + Science = Sexy.

Check it out here. 

Finals

I only have one! So I'm doing virtually nothing. Not cleaning. Not studying. Not working. Not graduating.

On another note, I'm excited getting soo excited about LeaderSahpe-Texas! It will prepare me to be a great Treasurer of TBP, haha.

I got an A in golf! Is that something I can even brag about?

Yummy

What a nation of fatties

Excuse me while I go get Wendy's. No joke.

Video Conference Drama

I have a new respect for professors and the stuff they have to put up with. Needless to say, our joint research project with UCSD is not going smoothly.

Land Locked Blues

And the world's got me dizzy again
You'd think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I'm always pacing around or walking away

I said I'd start applying to graduate school and studying for the GRE and preparing the NSF fellowship application when school gets out. School's out. 

I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to

Coachella

So incredible. See Facebook for complete album.

What the heck, Apple?

Does anybody else's Mac do that? What does "Not Charging" mean?

Eww

How gross is this? It makes me want to pass out. I just found out I don't get any type of painkiller when they remove them. Just pull and go!

At least I got to wash my arm after Coachella... but my skin flaked off, gross! Another month to go...

Oh, and the X-ray technician accidentally snagged a pin. It sent chills down my spine.

New house?

I can't believe my parents might retire and buy a new house. And by new house, I mean the house my grandfather built. I don't see how my parents wouldn't by this. So many memories. And a flippin' elevator! 

And I absolutely love video chatting with my brothers on our macs!

COACHELLA TOMORROW!

There are two paper clips in my hand

And yes, it hurts. A lot. And no, Vicotin is not working. 

I'm stuck in a cat toy for 2 months

I wish...

• I was left handed
• I drove an automatic
• I could wash my arm during Coachella

I'm happy I have James, Adam, Jason and Jaclyn to take care of me
