Quick Update regarding NC State weekend
Tuesday, November 9, 2004
As a late additon to the trip, I got stuck on Bus 2, away from the cool people (aka other clarinets) We left Atlanta @ 3(ish) pm friday, but between leaving 45 minutes late, sitting on a major 4-lane in suwanee for 45 minutes (in rush hour traffic), standing around a wal-mart parking lot playing frisbee and human chess (Its Georgia Tech kids all right) for another hour, and getting supper, we ended up getting to Durham really late. Didn't stop people from partying though I did discover that Cheerwine, which sounds alcoholic, but acually is just a cherry soda rarely found in Georgia, does mix well with random stuff. We only managed to piss one other guest off , unlike the whole hotel like most away trips. Waking up the next day, we went straight to the game at the renovating-in-progress NC State stadium and proceeded to watch the Yellow Jackets beat the Wolfpack 24-14. Reggie still needs to work on where he throws the ball, but it seemed like State just made more mistakes then we did. Leaving the stadium-in-progress, we headed home, stopping for dinner after watching the newly released shrek 2. Arriving by 1am, everybody struggled home and to bed. Sunday was the last home volleyball game of the season, and the Rice Pep Band did its share to provide spirit for the game and even gave roses to retiring seniors. (They beat WF 3 games to none.) Made myself a great meal after that (Sauteed Tilapia with balsamic mushrooms, rice au gratin, and steamed cabbage). I need to cook more, but its not as cheap or fun when its just for myself.

Batch Update Early Fall 2004
Friday, November 5, 2004
Its gotten to the point where I don't remember everything that happens between these behemoths of posts, so I am going to TRY to update more often, or at least after every major event or thing about which writing is needed. Classes, definitely not something that I would call fun. The three baddies are: Fluid Mechanics (makes me shudder just to type it), Systems Dynamics and Control (totally incomprehensible subject unless you already have a PHD in Vibration Analysis), and Machine Design (the least painful of the group, cause its actually about mechanical components and all tests are open book and open notes). Also, I have a Circuits and Instrumentation Lab that is weird, but I should be able to make an A. Music Classes: I also expect A's in Chorale and Marching Band, which are both diverting and very fun. Marching Band is definite good times, enjoying the football season, going on road trips, giveing some structure to my week, and making lots of new friends. Side note: The band seems like a good place for finding female companionship, given the non-Tech-like-ratio and the amount of time we spend as a group. I was tagged with a new nickname, "23" so called for being the oldest rookie band member. Our clarinet section rocks, everybody is happy and friendly without the strife that I've encountered before. Football, not exactly as expected so far... How can a team beat Clemson (that was a good game to watch @ Death Valley) and Maryland, but lose to UNC and Virginia Tech, both were winnable games, but early leads were lost to overconfidence, tiredness, injury... oh well. To finish with a winning record, we need to beat 2 of : NC State, UConn, or Virginia (UGA would work too, but I don't forsee it happening). I have made a page for this season (click on the above link). I will update it as the season progresses. What's been happening otherwise: Have only been to one swing dance this semester, have been otherwise engaged twice. Mitch Hedburg came to Georgia Tech, and he seemed a little more distracted *cough* high *cough* than normal, but was still funny. I had my 24th birthday, got my 2 front teeth fixed again (the bonding from a skateboarding accident @ age 6 had chipped). Other than a couple trips to Carrollton and Douglasville for random visits, I did visit both Heritage High and West Georgia for their respective homecomings and saw some unexpected people from my past but didn't see some that I had expected to see. And speaking of the West Georgia Band (they look so tiny now that I am used to Tech), Dr. Overmier has been putting them through their paces in multiple shows, but they do look and sound good. I got to accompany them thanks to 2 other alumnuseses driving there and back. The trip itself was good times, with a 2-night stay at the Holiday Inn in Muscle Shoals (across the Tennessee river from Florence, AL). Before the game, with the help from the local KKPsi chapter, a small kick-in from the band, and a couple hours, one band member and 3 alumni put on a tailgating party (burgers and dogs, but no beer) for the whole band. I was amazed we pulled it off , and the band seemed happy with the results. The game went much better than expected with the underdog UWG Braves demolishing the Lions of TUNA (hell, the mascots (2 live lions) left 6 minutes into the second half) 38 to 21. Partying happened heartily following the victory, with J, J, and myself similarly demolishing a bottle of Parrot Bay, as that was determined to be our purpose for roadtripping to Alabama of all places. Nobody got hurt or arrested this time, which always helps to make a party good. The next day the whole band went to the US Space and Rocket Center for some fun stuff. I went on the centrifuge/spin and float once and the "space shot" about 5 times, cause its fun and there was no wait. Saw the ISS IMAX (coincidentally the same one we saw back last fall when I went with the Roper Corp. co-ops for a "teambuilding" exercise) and then headed home. Thanks to Dr. O for letting us tag along and to everybody else for putting up with strange old people. Good times indeed....

Work is over, school has started, band is kicking, and I am exhausted.

The last few weeks of work were the most frenzied (as usual) from chasing parts around to the plant to getting our 6-sigma project on target to wiring harness rework (YAY!), but it was definitely rewarded.  In addition to it being over, we also concluded with a big banquet at The Acropolis, a greek-american place in Chattanooga, where everybody got stuffed and the mentors got beered up on the company credit card.  The weekend before the last week of work, we all took a trip up the road to the ocoee river. I had not been whitewater rafting for over a decade and had forgotten how fun it could be.  Even on the little 'class 4' rapids we got in the middle portion of the river were enough to keep us entertained for a good 4 hours (followed by more food on the company).  Over the course of the summer, I gained about 15 pounds just from the amount of times we ate out.  Now that I'm back on campus, I plan to start cooking again.
Our end-of-term report-out went well, and although nobody finished their six-sigma projects (as expected), the individual reports seemed to go well, mine included. [Having your mentor in China makes it harder for him to ask questions or complicate things.]  The best report-out went to Justin Porter, an  AME CAD-guru from UTC, but I thought it strange to compete for a title when the previous winner was essentially kicked out of working for having some work authorization troubles.  Getting moved out is always a chore, but being on good relations with your landlord makes it easy to move out with fewer hassles.
After making 2 carloads and a truckload from La Fayette, I managed to get my stuff back to Conyers.  Most of it went straight to Atlanta, but the bed and desk got stored again, compliments of one of my cousins (with a Big Garage).  After moving in on Monday Aug. 9 and finding out that the audition was a formality, I settled in for a long week of band camp.  Its been 3 years since I marched with westga, and while its harder to lose the fundamentals and the instrumentality (if that's a word), I had forgotten (or had neglected to remind myself) how physically strenuous it is  We spent between 6 and 10 hours a day marching and playing, so I have built back up the respective callouses (thumbrest, bottom lip,  outside arch of the foot, and selective deafness to the Dr. Beat).  Amongst the 3 shows Tech plans to do, the first one is the most taxing, in terms of drill and musicianship, so as I struggle to catch up, I gotta keep remembering that it will start to get easier after some point.  The first game is September 4th (vs. Samford at home) and I don't know how much we will have (ready) on the field.  If anybody is interested in possibly coming to a game (like UConn (Nov. 13) or Virginia (Nov. 20)), let me know.  Tech tickets are harder to get than westga's.
Side note - I am a RAT despite the fact that I am a 6th year senior this time around and am held accountable for all the privileges and responsibilities therein.
Class started today, and apart from band and chorale, I don't know what to expect yet.  I have more gory details about them later.

Update - Batch Style
Tuesday, July 20, 2004
This summer has seemingly flown by. With less than 3 weeks of work remaining, I have begun to reassess my goals both for work and otherwise. I will try to go through and reiterate the details as they come to mind.
The Tour de Cure went really well. I had 16 co-ops there over the course of the 2 days, and they manned the rest stops and drove the vans with relative ease. In all, they raised over $70,000 between the 110 bicyclists, of which 92 finished the whole 150 miles. That Saturday night, we had a little get-together for everybody who was in town for the project. Some people got a little drunk, and some very much drunk, but we still had a good time. After the whole thing was over, GE paid for our dinner the following Tuesday at Carrabba's in Chattanooga. Let me tell you, that was some good food, from appetizers and beverages to the steak and the dessert and cappuccino. Since I was the Co-op Community Service Coordinator, I had the company credit card and signed the receipt for over $600 worth of food (and that was after they took off $85 or so for making us wait over an hour for a table). That blew my mind, but I guess its not unreasonable when you take 17 people to a place that charges about $20 for an entree. I did manage to play a joke on everybody by telling them that those who went over their allotted monies would have to reimburse the company. It was great.
After that, my job's actual duties started picking up, so I wasn't as bored as I had been earlier in the term. Basically, I have these 4 new parts that are going to be made at Roper. So we have to determine the capability of the press and finishing process to make sure the part is good enough ("meets GEA quality standards").
Next came the Fourth of July Weekend. Saturday, I attended a service at the Collegedale Seventh-Day Adventist church (where a fellow co-op attends and another one sang in the service). Lunch at Katherine's followed, and I swung by the dollar movie to watch '50 First Dates'. After buying a ticket for the 3:35 show, I looked at my watch and saw that it was only 1:25. 'Sorry... No Refunds' So I watched the last 7 minutes of Kill Bill Volume II and headed to the actual mall for some browsing. I replaced my wallet of quite a few years (it was badly needed) and finally bought the DVD of Bowling for Columbine. Other than that, I didn't buy anything else. I got back the theatre and watched the movie, and I must say, apart from the obvious chic flic romance stuff, it was really funny. Anybody who likes comedy, but strays away from the Big Daddy and the Happy Gilmore brashness may appreciate a tamer Adam Sandler. And if you are going to pick a counter-role for any kind of movie, Drew Barrymore has been with it since E.T.. Following the movie, there were fireworks in downtown Chattanooga in addition to the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra Opera Pops putting on a very moving and patriotic concert (even though it was only July 3rd). In addition to myself and Kat and her parents, Thousands of people showed up with folding chairs and picnics for the music and the nice display (but short presentation) of fireworks. The next day, I went to the La Fayette Baptist Church for another 'American Tribute' Concert, and for a church orchestra/chorus, they were quite good. I then departed for Carrollton for some cookout and socializing with friends. It was the Fourth of July after all... That lasted all Sunday (couldn't find any fireworks cause they had all taken place the night before). Monday, a holiday, was spent lazing around downtown Carrollton of all places, which seems to be undergoing a revitalization of sorts. We ate at a cafe on the square and had coffee afterwards. I spent too much money, but it was some good stuff, ya.
Another week of work followed. I went home for the weekend for the Annual Campmeeting @ Smyrna Presbyterian Church and Campground (on who's organizing committee my mother was this year) and heard a history professor (turned minister) discuss the origins of religion during the founding of the USA. I left early Sunday morning and had breakfast with my brother, his wife, and her mother. They apparently do this often, but this was the first time when I was in town and available. The Golden Corral Breakfast Buffet is great. There is so much variety, I got done eating a little bit of everything only to find out that they also had a custom omelet bar, pizza/baked goods, and desserts too. Upon leaving Conyers, I returned to La Fayette and prepared for the trip to come.
The Co-ops met in Trenton, Georgia at high noon and departed for De Soto Falls State Park (Ft. Payne, AL). The trip, planned by the safety guy from Roper, consisted of crossing the dam and hiking to the edge of a 150-ft cliff facing the falls. Then, 2 at a time, we would harness up and rappel down the face 20 feet against the cliff and then drop another 130+ feet straight down as the cliff face curved under. This was the first time rappelling for some (only my 3rd time) so we had to learn all the equipment, procedure, and techniques to ensure safety and convenience thus permitting the enjoyment of the actual trip down. De Soto Falls is a tributary of Frogtown Creek and the waterfall created by the eroding rock formations is incredible, especially when viewed from across the pool. Regular visitors only see it as it goes off the edge and miss the splendor of the great cascade. Right when we got there, the sun played across the mist created and 20-foot rainbows were visible. On my 2 trips down, I managed to avoid thinking that my life was hanging from a ½ in rope and a couple caribiners. At the bottom, we had at least two people belaying who could slow/stop our decent at any time. Our "near miss" came when the people rappelling down dislodged a soccer-ball sized rock and it shattered on the rocks not 15 feet from where we were standing. Sarah and I were at the bottom at the time,as well as two of Bob's (the EHS guy) kids, but thankfully nobody was hurt. After everybody got done going down, we retrieved the equipment and left. We had dinner at a southern-buffet-cooking place in Trenton and returned in time for some much-needed sleep.
The next week of work was spent haggling with the Paint people over how a part was to be finished, even though for the parts being painted, it didn't matter anyway. This past weekend was spent basically doing nothing. I did manage to watch 5 not-so-recent movies that I had been meaning to for a while, and we spent 7 hours or so working at Camp Sydney Dew (BSA, NE GA Council) building a wash house for a campsite. (Was recognized in the company newsletter for the aforementioned Community Service.) There are only 3 weeks of work left before classes start again. This semester should prove to be quite difficult, but if I do study, I might have a chance. My current plans are to be in the Tech Marching Band (as I have been unable the 2 previous fall semesters since I got accepted). We'll see what happens.

Busy Busy Busy
Friday, June 4, 2004
'I declare... I've been so busy, all the Bees are envious' But seriously, I have been doing so much running around my head has spun off and my rotator cuff is over-torqued.
In terms of an update, I did well enough in my classes so I could go back to my co-op job for the summer. I had an apartment lined up (living with 2 Caucasians this time); All i had to do was move all my crap from Atlanta to La Fayette. In the short week between class and work, I did manage to fit in a quick family vacation. Saw some family, went to Silver Springs (Glass bottom boats, alligators, etc) for the first time. Its not a bad place, I just don't see the need to go back... for a very long time.
Then, I headed to La Fayette, got the apartment stuff, utilities, etc taken care of. The job started on May 10th (a little early for my taste, but then I don't have much say in it all). I was assigned to work for/with an Advanced Quality Engineer, where basically we analyze parts that are just now being added to on-site manufacturing and try to guarantee that they will come out as good parts. There is also some stuff dealing with process changes in Fab and Assembly, so im kinda having to learn this stuff as I go along. I am currently serving as the Community Service Coordinator, and that is slated to take place Saturday and Sunday (June 5-6). We will be working rest stops along the Tour de Cure, a bicycling fundraiser for the American Diabetic Association held on 'a beautiful back road route' between Chattanooga and Rome.
The Coop Scene has once again cranked up, but with 19 coops, theres a lot more people in town. We have instituted a Poker Night, a Movie Night, cooked-out a lot, and made a few trips to Fort O. for food and such.

Spring Break
Being the music nerd that I am, I chose to spend the first part of my spring break in the company of the Georgia Tech Chorale.  Our Tour took us to South Carolina for some performance exposure, but mostly just for fun.  Out first stop was in Charleston, where we spent 2 nights.  After arriving late friday, we refreshed ourselves at a nearby downtown pizza joint. The first full day (Saturday) consisted of rehearsals, some quick walking around the city, going to the Market, and a dinner at a 'famous' seafood place (Hyman's) which I had never heard of, but it was pretty good.  Did some more walking around, got to know some of the other singers, tried out the Hampton Inn swimming pool (it was spring break afterall), and ended up 'down by the riverside' that night, quite pleasant if you ask me. Sunday morning, we arose early and performed for/in/along with the worship service at the St. Michael's Episcopal Church in downtown.  The service itself quite different from what I'm used to (being raised Presbyterian), but I can understand how it can move those who are willing.  We performed a piece in latin entitled Ave Verum Corpus (Hail, O Hail True Body) as well as selections from the later concerts music and assorted service music.  You may have heard Amazing Grace before, but unless you have heard it with full choir, pipe organ, and descant, you have missed something breath-taking.  We left town and (after dining for free at a restaurant owned by a chamber choir members's family) headed towards Myrtle Beach.  We arrived in time to clean up, then had an overpriced (but quite delicious) steak dinner en masse.  Dinner was followed by putt-putt (in a few of our cases).  Others went beach-walking or wandered randomly.  Upon returning to the hotel, we were all itching to get out into the Spring Break Frenzy.  Someone found information about a Dance Club near the beach, the aptly named Freaky Tiki.  Approximately 15 of us (aided by the free hotel shuttle) arrived at this establishment and partied (what was left of) the night away. Being a Sunday, it only lasted til midnight or so, but that was plenty for me.  Upon leaving, we managed to avoid an altercation with a semi-intoxicated military personnel on liberty (with the help of his friends) while waiting for our method of transport to fetch us.  The next morning, we arose and headed to the beach for a few hours of leisure time.  Being the second week of  March, it was still to cold to swim, the extent of our beach-going was limited to laying out, frisbee, and ultimately, Ultimate.  We departed the beach, tired but happy, sad only because it had ended too soon.
The rest of my break consisted of a day of doing nothing, and a few days with the rents in western florida (in the void between Panama City and Fort Walton Beach).
Since Then...
My life has been rather uneventful since then.  I did go and see Jersey Girl, Kevin Smith's new movie.  When I get a bit of free time now, I am watching all the episodes of Stargate SG-1 that i can find... It turns out i have missed a bunch since we lost Showtime^® 8 years ago.  On a darker note, GT OIT dept (in its infinite wisdom) has blocked usage of a port necessary to play Diablo 2 on battle.net for some unspecified reason, supposedly relating to a virus or something.  Needless to say, I am rather unhappy, but glad at the same time.  Maybe I'll study this way.  (ok, maybe not, but wishful thinking never hurts.)
I did attend a few recent Symphonic Band concerts and I think part of me misses band... badly.  The GT chorale had its concert today (in conjunction with the Chamber Choir and the Men's Glee Club).  It was entitled 'Different Voices' and featured about 10 different languages in total.  I thought we did a good job and those that were there seemed to enjoy it.
I have been trying to get stuff lined up for the summer... Job: check, Everything else:  not so sure.  Assuming I pass all my classes this time, I will be headed back to La Fayette, GA to start summer semester on May 10th {frikin early in my opinion}.  And speaking of classes, I do need a bit of help; Its not that i have slacked off as compared to previous semesters; its just this one is much harder and I'm lazy by nature.  I'll try and update more often when i can....

2 Roads

2 Roads Diverged in a yellow wood; and I took the one less traveled....
It has come to pass that not everything can be expressed narratively or with a passive point of view.  I have decided to express these 2 different states of mind in two different venues.  The news, weather, and traffic of my goings on will still be reported upon here, while the other crap that flows through my head will be discussed here.

It depends on your definitinon of fixed...
Thursday, February 19, 2004
After spending a weekend of playing D2 (way too much), I finally got to work on my car monday. The problem was not the solenoid (this determined by testing with a multimeter). The only potential problems left are: the ignition circuitry, loose wires somewhere, or the (transmission) neutral safety cut-off switch, all of which are difficult to access/test/replace. Now I can start the car by simply shorting the 2 poles of the solenoid relay with a conductor (i.e. screwdriver), thus bypassing the ignition (not hot-wiring persay, because the ignition must still be in the 'on' position); it is a little inelegant and inconvenient to have to open the hood everytime i want to drive, but at least it runs. I do plan to fix this as soon as time/weather permit.
On a different note, I have gotten back the big round of tests from before-drop-day-week save one (Circuits) and it seems that i need to be doing more studying, or rather just a reorganization of how i study. Lazy professors make it such that old tests/hw problems are more important to study than lecture notes or the book, but i guess the most important thing to learn in a class is to adjust the teaching/testing style of the instructor.
A life lesson: Give not what you think should be given, but what the reciever expects.

And my car died.... again...
Wednesday, February 11, 2004
So i was on my way to Carrollton for a Basketball game and i stopped in Villa Rica at the Wal-mart for some motor oil and stuff. Upon reenter-ing my car, it refused to start. Neither the battery nor the alternator was the problem (I have been through THAT before. This leaves the potential problems as either the starter (not cheap to replace) or the solenoid (not easy to replace). The plan is to fix it saturday if the rain does not hinder us. But back to studying I go.... Stupid tests...

Tests? Oh, I love tests
Friday, February 6, 2004
Talk about a week of hellish-ness:
I spent pretty much the entire week (when i wasn't slaughtering innocent stuff in D2 or MOHAA) studying for tests... in a total days, I have/will have a test in every freeking class I have. Drop day is coming up soon, and as they are required to have a major grade in there before that deadline, they all choose this week to have their respective crap-o-liscious exams. I have a feeling i did/will do bad in every single one of them, except maybe Circuits, because that is like taking Psych 1101 at Podunk Community College.
I am usually not one to air my personal complaints, but i have a bone to pick.... My roommate is getting really frikin annoying and as im sure he will never read this (unless a mutual acquaintance tells him), i feel this is a good way to do so with out moaning and b&*%$ing like some people i know do incessantly. He leaves his crap everywhere (and this is coming from ME!! I though I was bad. He has more clothes and shoes than Versace, Hilfiger, and Baby Gap combined and they are strewn about the room...) He never turns off his alarm which can be quite disturbing when I try to sleep occaisionally. He sprays cologne or whatever the hell that is everywhere in large doses. He took over my stereo so he could play Missy Eliot or some other crap at full volume. Last night, he talked on the phone from the time he walked in the door til 7:30 AM, making it virtually impossible to sleep, and i had 2 tests today. Needless to say, I didnt feel/do my best. I have let him know that he is as annoying as a crow to roadkill when no cars are around, but i think his self-proclaimed metrosexuality has made his head a bit dense because he doesnt seem to be listening.
But enough Ranting for now, I think i'm just venting because I can't legitimately blame my professors for my doing not-perfect.

Das Super Bowl
Monday, February 2, 2004
I have come to the conclusion that I don't really care who wins a certain football game; all that matters is how you play the game... I know this seems like a cheesy thing to say, but it became obvious to me in the first 24.5 minutes of the game. As long as the score stayed 0-0, I could see that every athlete on the field was doing the best humanly possible. Once the scoring started it was just taking advantage of the other team's mistakes and the referees' miscalls.
But enough about football... I have been informed of a falling out amongst (themselves) some of those with whom I associate and consider friends. I once again find myself torn between a loyalty to the individuals and a desire to not let other's friendships affect mine. I dunno, we'll see what happens.

Carrollton... hmm. sounds familiar
Monday, January 26, 2004
So the first three weeks of school have seemed to fly by, but that may be because I have done no homework, have taken no tests (just 2 quizzes), and done virtually no studying. They have been mostly filled with watching reruns (M*A*S*H, seasons 1-4) and NewsRadio (only 4 left).
Also, there is much video games action, and I am turning into the description of Dave in the episode entitled 'Arcade Game'. I realize this is is a little sad, so i am trying to add some spice to my life. Friday was the first shendig of the GTDA. They featured the Artie Bell Swing band (of Athens, GA) which was a very good choice in my opinion. Also saw a current Westgan (Allie DeLoach) who is into Swing Dancing, but you wouldn't think so just meeting her. Then I planned to spend the weekend doing nothing, but ended up going to a UWG basketball game (a nice whooping of TUNA) and seeing 'Finding Nemo' for the first time. While I was there, I concluded that I don't need to purchase the Game Diablo 2 for online play... I spent 8 hours straight working on 2 different characters. And the last thing i need this semester is another distration... there is plenty for me now as it is.

The Hudge-n-Drudge of Life
Wednesday, January 21, 2004
I don't know if thats an actual term, but if not, I'm gonna introduce it and see if it catches on.
Its been a while so i thought I'd bring everybody (well, those people who have about as much time as I do thus would be reading this; not that there's anything wrong with that) up to date.
As usual my life seems a bit boring, but as compared to some people i know, boring isn't as bad as exciting could be. School is same as always, and since my thermo professor is back from his convention, i have 19 hours worth of classes this week. But hey, its something productive to do. The PS-2 I borrowed for Christmas was requisitioned from me as i was 30 hours into Final Fantasy X. I'll finish some day. Spent some time in Carrollton on the holiday weekend playing games and celebrated Norm's Birthday. Burgers (grilled in 30 degress and wind), fries, red velvet cake, and hand-knitted scarves made for a time to be had by all... if you knew where to look.
