Working hard for the [hippy] man.
I had my first day on the job at my internship yesterday morning. It mostly involved pulling up invasive plants like blackberry bushes (ouch) and using a GPS device to map the area. It's kind of weird to do labor without getting paid, but I keep reminding myself that it's not like I have anything better to do with my time.

It's that time again: SUMMER TIME!
I got up at 6 AM and did some working out with Anna this morning. Time will tell if it'll happen again. I don't much care for the facilities in her building. I really miss Western's gym. In other news, I have an interview for my summer internship tomorrow. I'm not too worried about it, because they seem like a pretty small operation and I doubt I'd be doing much more than clearing ivy and blackberry bushes.
I also think I'm going to participate in the Windows Vista beta testing this summer. I already downloaded the 3.2 gig DVD iso and burned it, I'm just going to backup my system and take the plunge. I'll try to write about any interesting experiences (an amature tech blog? have I reached a new level of dork?).
*Update*
I ran the install program, and Vista won't recognize my RAID drivers. This means that it can't see my hard drives, so I have nothing to install the operating system on. Oh well, it probably would have been frustrating anyway. I do kind of miss the constant crashing and freezing earlier versions of Windows brought. XP just isn't exciting anymore.

Give me a break. I've been busy
Over Memorial Day weekend I attended Evenson's bachelor party. I and 14 other guys went out to a raucous margarita-filled dinner where, of course, I run into my mom. What are the chances?
Right now I'm trying to set up an internship for the summer, a job for next fall, and study for my finals (which are going to suuuck). Summer's looking pretty good.
