Things have certainly been exciting this year so far, hence my absence from the blogosphere lately. Classes have been keeping us engineers very occupied lately, and many hours have been spent scouring the interwebs for info on all the insane international news going on lately.
It took one week for around one thousand people to die en masse, adding the disastrous earthquake in New Zealand, and the revolution currently happening in Libia. It was pretty concerning at the time, and the fact that I’m still even paying attention to this is something in itself.
Personally, I hope that the west decides to do something soon, despite all this talk about not interfering in foreign affairs. I don’t think that very many people would deem interfering in this situation to be western “meddling”; it’s just speeding up the precess. We might as well just call toppling the Gadaffe government a humanitarian mission, as I’ve heard so many people call his actions “un-human”.
Speaking of un-human, here’s a random video I found really funny.
I’m really looking forward to having a robot friend as an adult.
But I suppose I may end up being one of the people on a project like that. I’m still planning on computer engineering. Currently just taking baby steps, but ever since I allowed my apple obsession cool a bit and got an extra PC for programing, my computer education seems to have been going a bit more smoothly. I’m teaching myself Java! Hopefully by the end of the summer I’ll have a chunk of C++, Java, and Python under my belt.
With all this ultra geekiness, I kinda have to make sure I have some social life to balance it out. Solution: play Xbox with the girls downstairs. Yes, it’s the best of both worlds, and it being an adopted member of their floor has it’s perks. LIKE LASER TAG!!!!
Girls all around could learn a lesson from them. So let out that inner nerd and DFTBA.
