Mid Terms are almost done...

I lived through it but I know I should have studied more. My biology mid term didn't go so well, I got a 26 out of 40. I gotta buckle down and study more. I did study three out of the 6 chapters but I got bit HARD by the lazy bug thinking my good judgement would help me in the multiple choice test. Not to good judgement i guess...on all counts in this situation. I had my math midterm today and I think it went well but we ahd a quiz a couple weeks ago that I thought went well and I got a D on it because I didnt check my work; I had made some stupid errors. This test was easier though. My final midterm is for my art class. I have to draw a picture in pencil on a 12X18 pice of paper, not allowed to use color but can use shading and it is going to be put in an art show. I am still not so sure what to draw yet, I may get all my guitars out and arrange them in some form to draw them. So I still ahve my work cut out for me this quarter; can't slack off to much if I want to have decent grades.

Mid terms coming...Guitar is done

I got my project guitar back last night. Unfortunately one of the parts in teh trem system had disappeared so it made it a bit more difficult to set up. i got a replacement part today adn set the guitar up. It took a little while but the guitar plays well and sounds really good but I think there is something wrong with the middle pickup on the treble side, on the clean channel it is really weak. I will talk to the guy who did the work and see what can be done cause there is also a grounding issue, the guitar has a bit of a buzzing problem when plugged in.
Biology midterm next week and then there are some in my other classes but I am more concerned over the biology one...so much stuff to retain. No wonder I didn't go into the science/medical field. I guess my brain isnt heavily geared towards math and science though I can still pull a decent grade out of them...maybe its that I don't like studying, it puts me to sleep...wait...sleep is a good thing, but not when you have mid terms and there is studying to do. So off I go to study...amongst other things.

Guitar Center SUCKS!!! and other rantings

I have been piecing together another electric guitar for the fun of it; kind of a hobby and I took this guitar to guitar center to have some sautering done...the guy told me 3 to 4 days and then he was gonna charge me $75 for it. Installs usually cost $35 so this guy was a quack...I called a couple different times and my guitar still wasnt done so today i went back to the store and picked it up...the work I need done still isnt done but I know for a fact i can find someone to do the work for much cheaper. A couple of the guys I work with told me that a couple of their friends would be able to hook me up for cheap. I just want to play the dang thing...I am practically feigning for it. In other news....school is tiring. I will be glad to be done in June. I still am not sure about Grad school, I havent even applied yet but I do have one of the three recommendation letters. I would just like to take a long break from school and live for a while. I like to be able to come home and just chill rather than have to break open some books to study.

The wedding

My brothers wedding went off without a hitch...it stopped raining just in time...outdoor weddings kinda suck when its raining. I was about to start crying during the vows, it was very touching. I am very happy for my brother and i look forward to the lil bambino/bambina that should be arriving around March 17th or so...really close to my birthday. My oldest niece was born 3 days away from my 18th birthday...makes it alot easier to remember how old she is. Can't believe she is 13 already. The receptionwas nice. We had roast beef/turkey and a bunch of other fixins and my step mom and other brother Tim put together a DVD of David and Kristin from baby to their meeting set to a pretty cool rendition of Bach's Jesu, Joy of mans Desiring. Her dad made a small speech welcoming David to the family and speaking of Kristen's tenacity, then I did the same, welcoming Kristin to the family and giving my little brother away by way of saying "for all the years of (I lightly sock him in the arm)...now its her job." I feel very privleged to have been my baby brothers best man. I wish them the very best life that can be had. Now I need to catch back up on my homework...God, I hate school. Glad its my last year...unless i go for the masters...
