Another semester draws to a close, and another semester gets added to the Courses page.

Shouldn’t there be term limits for Congresspersons? I’m not convinced that many of them actually care about America.

Well, it took two three and a half years (holy cow), and the video quality isn’t the best, but the epic film made by Chris, Eugene, and myself is finally available online. I proudly present In Search of Excellence.

The semester is drawing to a close. Surprisingly, I don’t have all that much left to do, at least in terms of classes. Piano and colloquium are officially over. In 440W I have a brief, stress-free group presentation to give. My image search engine is due on Thursday, but I’ve had so much fun working on the darn thing that I’m already 99% done. I have only one final, in accounting, and I do need to study quite a bit for that, seeing as my second exam grade was sub-par (I’ll just say I beat the class average of 66, but not by a comfortable margin.) Luckily the new material for the final is a rehash of what I did in finance last semester. Other than that, I’ll be working on the thesis, finishing up work at the Solutions Institute, and working through some Cocoa tutorials.

Winter break promises to be pretty cool. Becky and I are going on a tour of the White House and then a bit later we’ll be heading down to Florida to spend a few days with my grandmom. I’m also going to do whatever I can to get two tickets to see Penn State in the Orange Bowl, which luckily enough is on the same day as my arrival down there.
