18 days left until graduation. It seems like nothing, but it is going to be the busiest 18 days of my life. Wahoo!! Working all week on a group GIS project, writing a paper, going to Texas for a job interview, and presenting the final GIS project next week. Sounds like a piece of cake, but that project is half my grade. Still have lots of work to do on it.. :-(
Actually now that I think about it, my last day of class is next Thursday. INSANE! so that really puts the countdown at 10 days... oh snap.

Spring Update
I guess I should probably write about spring break, eh?
Well it was a great time. Drove down to P-Cola to see Nick the first night and partied with future pilots again. Went to Kristen's grandparents house the second night, making our way to Miami. The cruise ship was like any other, of course. Immediately got our bathing suits on and hit the deck. Met a ton of people, had a great time.
Nassau was ok. Kinda cloudy all day, but we had fun in Senor Frogs doing free shots, drinking yards after yards, jumping in restricted water and getting ourselves some seashells. Later we went to the beach, where the tide was rolling in. Waves were a good 5 feet high, breaking on shore. Needless to say, swimming wasn't the best there. Haha. So we chilled out on the beach, got solicited by drug dealers right and left, and took some quality pictures.
CocoCay was the next day. That little island was the best! Jill and I signed up to do snorkeling, which was fantastic by the way. So many fish, saw some cool plane wrecks and ship wrecks, along with some cannons. So they had this little scavenger hunt game, where if you found a wooden fish somewhere out in the ocean, you get a prize. Well Jill found a wooden fish, and she won a free parasailing trip. So I go out on the boat with her, in hopes that we can sweet talk the boat drivers into letting me go. After a little negotiating, Jill was able to jump her way into letting me go with her.. Haha. So we both got to go parasailing, a $180 value, for free. Awesome! Celebrated later that night with some quality rock climbing on the wall, dancing, and a midnight buffet.
Key West was the last day. Jill and I decided to go on our own barcrawl of Duval Street.. aka the Duval Crawl. Over 50 bars, and we made it to about 10 of them.. Haha. Met quite a few people on the same quest as us, and had many delicious drinks before having to get back to the boat. Successful bar crawl! That night we played Quest, the adult scavenger hunt game. The most ridiculous things you could even imagine. Naturally, Team Number One placed in the top 3 out of 70 team. We got a medal and everything. Awesome! It was a great end to the trip :-)
The next day was our drive home. We hit the road, knowing that we needed to stop and get gas soon. Well we came upon the last exit before the toll road, and got off there hoping there was gas. We drove over 50 miles on E before deciding to pull over to a worksite, and beg some workers to give us gas. They were very generous people, and gave us half a tank for free! So we were on our merry way to Kristens grandmas house again.
The next stop was Atlanta! Saw my friend Ben, havent seen him in 2 years. It was a great time.
The rest of the trip consisted of driving, driving, and more driving. That was pretty much the end of Spring Break 2010.
Anyway, St. Patricks day was also a blast. Went to Harpers at 8am, was completely blackout by 12om, and really dont remember a whole lot until after 7pm. I guess I had a great time, judging from my pictures! Haha.
Easter was fun, went home with Kristen and met her family. Had some great food, a great easter egg hunt, and rode a good 70 miles on the back of Kent's motorcycle on easter sunday :-) Awesome time!
Got a job this summer working at Stagecoach State Park in Colorado as a limited commissioned park ranger. Basically enforce laws, but I dont get to carry a gun. I'm cool with that. Haha. Getting paid $11.27/hr, 40 hr week, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, living in the park for $50 a month. Not bad at all!
San Diego lacrosse tourny is this weekend. I guess our team name is Team Awesome. Awesome! haha. Lookin forward to catchin up with some Alumni players, going out, and having a great time. Oh and playing a few games of lacrosse too I guess.. Haha.
30 day til graduation. One more paper, and a project/presentation to do, then I'm FREE!
