Good thing there is akismet…

I have been hit with a lot of blog spam lately… 338 today… 333 of which were caught by akismet and 5 were moderated by me as spam… this is the second round of mass spamming… 639 or so spam comments caught by akismet so far…

you can see how many it has caught by viewing the akismet badge on the right side below the flickr pictures…

We picked up our bowl tickets today… We got 10 tickets together for us and Erin and her family… should be a good time… cant wait to go…

Got an A in Signals & Systems… so thats 2 As so far…

Digital Design I exam tomorrow… should be fun… gotta go study for that… and then i am done!!! for this semester at least… got 3 more undergrad semesters yet to go plus grad school which i will most likely apply for after/during next semester…

my final on Friday went quite well… i was only not sure one 2 parts of this one question, so i think i did fairly well on it and shouldn’t have any problem getting an A in Signals and Systems…

The exam on Wednesday shouldn’t be too bad either… the only thing i am worried about on this one is having enough time to complete it, as everything we do in that class is potentially very time consuming such as coming up with logic equations and designing circuits… hopefully it can successfully be completed in the 2 hour time window… we shall see…

Other than that, i have just been hanging out around here… not much been going on… spent all Saturday afternoon, from 3 to 8 playing hockey… today we went to the mall in Roanoke… not sure what i am doing on Monday yet…

Got tickets to the Chick-Fil-A bowl in Atlanta, GA… Travis, his mom, his aunt, and I will be going down for the game on the 30th… probably be leaving on the 29th and coming back late on the 30th as we have to be back for his aunts new years party… should be a good time… Erin will also be there so we will all be hanging out in Atlanta…

Thats about it for the late night blogging update… about to head to bed…

goodnight!

I have moved the Christmas list to a new home… it now has its own page… you can view the list by clicking on the 2006 Christmas List tab at the top of the page… all future edits will be done there and the post has been moved there…

i made the move so you dont have to see that first when you come to the blog, all though it was a good reminder of what to get me

enjoy!

Last week was another one of those busy weeks… had 2 projects to do, as well as homework and 2 finals… plus i went to UT to visit rachel and go to her formals which was a fun weekend…

Yesterday was the last day of classes for the fall 2006 semester… so im now done with classes…

Got a cool new shirt, check it out on flickr… front and back can you figure out how to spell VT ECE on the front and how everything on the back is equivalent?

today was reading day… been cleaning my room and my computer…. been going through all of my links and putting them on delicious… if you go there you can see all of the sites i have tagged for future reference… instead of clogging up my bookmarks i have decided to put them on there… plus i have access to them from any computer with internet connection… but i also need to study for my exam tomorrow…

I only have two exams left… i took the software engineering exam and the electronics lab final early… i think i did pretty well on them… i don’t have to take the electronic final as i have an A in the class already and she drops 3 out of the 4 tests which includes the final, so im set in that class for an A. I have an exam tomorrow in signals and systems and then an exam in digital design on Wednesday… then i am officially done with fall 2006 semester…

Erin wants to hang out with everyone on Thursday since her birthday is Friday… so i probably wont be coming home until Friday or late Thursday night…

Well i should probably start looking at some signals and systems stuff… the exam wont be too hard and its all open note/book so if i dont know it, i can look it up…

later,
J!
