Again, it's been a long time. My desire to update this site comes along once in a blue moon, so it's a wonder it even gets updated at all.
I would like to say that school sucks. This is exam week, and I have way too much work to do. I had my physics exam today, at 7:30 in the morning!!! On a SATURDAY!!! Anyway, I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was. Hopefully I still pulled off an A. We'll see. I have Statistics Tuesday at 7:30a, Orgo at 12:30 that same day, and then elcheme (Elements of Chemical Engineering) Wednesday at 7:30a. Then I'm going home Thursday. We're in the process of moving to the other side of Orange Park, so if you're wondering what I'll be doing over christmas break, I'll be moving. No Christmas this year. Ba Humbug. Just kidding. We have 'christmas all year long,' as my family likes to say, and they're pretty much right. That's about all I have to write for now. Oh, yes, I do know that I misspelled a word on my site. It took me forever to notice (thanks Chris), so I'm sure that you probably haven't noticed either. I'm not going to change it. It would require too much work to change it. I might get around to it at some point.

Yeah, I know, it's been a long time. My computer came in, but after their projected 9/7 shipping date, so I called them up and said that if it wasn't here by the following Monday, I was cancelling my order. Ha. They ended up upgrading me to same day shipping, and it was here by that Friday. I'm going to have to be more assertive from now on.
School's going well. It's very busy, but it's going well. I don't much like all the work, but I guess I'll have to get used to that. If I go to summer school, I can be out of here in two years, after this semester. But see, I also want to go to Rome this summer to study abroad. Which would set me back a couple semesters, including a Summer semester, so it's really only one semester, because of the way classes are offered at the Chem E department. Different classes are offered different sememsters, so I would have to wait a semester to get 'back on track.' Oh well, I'm pretty sure I'm going to Italy. Which will be cool. That's all for now.

Well, school's started. Remember how I said that I was looking forward to school starting? Well, it has already lost its novelty. I'm ready to go back home. I am taking 16 credit hours, but I have 25 total hours of class time per week. Isn't that insane? Add on top of that homework, study time, etc., and I have more than a full time job. Not that work and school are too much alike, but I'm just saying.
I ordered my new computer from Gateway last Thursday. The guy said that it would be here tomorrow, the 28th, but he was wrong. I just got off the phone with someone from Gateway, and she said that the estimated shipping date was Sep 7th!!!! That's just stupid. The lap top I got from there was delivered in like 5 days from the time I ordered it. I figure it's taking so long because I ordered at the time that college people are going back to school (like me), so they have tons of orders. Hopefully the 'estimated ship date' will be grossly over estimated, and it will be shipped within the next couple of days. Hopefully.

Here's my answer to Corey's Webpage, which has a very not good picture of me. Pardon the quality of the picture. It was a small yearbook picture. Haha.

I know, it's been a while, but I haven't had the desire to write. I've been kind of busy too. Camp was loads of fun. It was much more fun as a counselor than I remember it being when I was a camper.
I've been having a wonderful summer so far. Hopefully I won't get bored soon. I still have over a month left. I'm looking forward to my fall classes; I'm finally going to be taking classes that are in my major. Should be fun.

Well, I just finished classes. I just finished my final in programming about an hour ago. I then came back and finished the program for that class that I had been putting off doing. I justwasn't motivated to do it. Well, it's done now, and that's all that matters. The final was very easy, I thought. What I'll receive as a grade is another matter, considering I thought that the midterm was easy, and ended up receiving a 77. I needed and 83 (at least, dependingon my other homework grades) on the final to receive an A. Which I think that I did. I did theexam twice just to make sure that everything was hunky-dorey.
Well, I supposed I need to get to packing. We're supposed to go to see the X-Files movie tonight, so I need to get it done. I'm leaving here tomorrow morning as soon as my parents come down and help me get all of my stuff out of this room. I won't miss this room,but I'll miss living here. But, believe me, I'll be very glad to be home and away from classes for a while.

What's happening in Josh's world? Well, for the past week, I've been very busy. I had a very tedious program due Monday night. I was working up until the midnight deadline, and, much thanks to Adam, I fixed three major bugs in the last 15 minutes. I still only had one function not working most of the time, but considering I got hundreds on all the others, I think that I'll befine. Now I just have to worry about the final this Friday. It shouldn't be too difficult,but I didn't do as well as I would have liked on the midterm. For my grades, go here. My pseudonym is Timberwolf. I don't know why you'd want to look at them, but if you want, go ahead.
I just got back my last quiz in Differential Equations. I got a 95. Thank goodness. I'm up to 90.15 in that class, which means I have an A, but a very, very, VERY low A. So that means thatI have to do extremely well on the final test (which is tomorrow and for which I should be studying right now). I need an A. I don't like B's or B+'s.
Well, this is the final week of classes, and I have mixed feelings about it ending. I'm glad it's ending, and I want to go home, but what am I going to do when I get home? I'm sure that I would have fun for the first week or two, but what then? Luckily I'm going to be a counselor at Florida Bible Camp the week of the 28th. So that will be a good week of doing something.
Well, that's about it. I have a birthday (19th) coming up on the 26th, but I don't have anything planned to do. I don't even really want a gift. I have everything that I need. My parents did talk about getting me a cell phone, but it's not that necessary. Although, I like toys,and cell phones are pretty cool toys. Maybe I'll look into that. Oh well. Until the next update....
