Well. Tomorrow is my first final at 8 am. Going to be rough getting up and getting there on time. I need to make a powerpoint presentation for it, roughly 3-5 minutes, and she apparently prefers the shorter side of that. I have to use only visuals to describe why the sources in my last essay are... good. Basically. Which is going to be interesting, because it was about robotics, and only one of my sources will really have any good pictures for it in particular. I could easily find 3 minutes worth of pictures and videos to show, but I don't think that's quite what she's looking for.

Need to finish writing another research essay hopefully tonight, so I can turn it in tomorrow too. It's for my humanities class, and she is basically being extremely nice to me and letting me turn it in late. So I'm trying to do her a little bit of a favor and get it to her before she has to grade all the essays we have to write for the final. After tomorrow I basically am set though, the rest of my finals should be a piece of cake.

Friday is my last day at Home Depot. I only told maybe 3 people, which was basically upper management, and already almost the entire store knows. I suppose I should be more surprised how long it took before this happened. Not that I'm upset people know that I'm leaving, I'm just bad with goodbyes and I didn't want to make this huge. It's tough to talk to people when they keep being like, "so you're leaving, huh?" I want to say, yes, but I'm still here for now so don't make it hard for me to talk to you for the next week. Or something. It's just awkward, I guess. There's a new girl in garden that's pretty cute, Melissa, kinda sad that I won't really be able to see how that goes since by Saturday I'll be in Urbana. So it goes.

The video game testing job emailed me back on Thursday asking for more information. Sweeeeeet. It was basically a full out essay application, I felt like I was applying for college again. I finished that all up and snail mailed next day to them because they wanted it "sooner the better" or in person. Since I'm working every day since last Thursday to next Friday I couldn't make it in person. I hope that job goes well. I would love to have it. Seems like everything I could ask for. Full time, pay is better than what I make, and even though there's no benefits, I don't use the ones I have with Home Depot anyway so not like that changed. I'm hoping for an email reply back today or tomorrow. It's already 4 o'clock so I think if I'm going to get one soon it won't be today. Fingers crossed.

Been keeping pretty busy recently. Between working I've had all these essays sorta attack me at once, and when I'm not doing anything I've been reading for fun. Almost finished another book in the "His Dark Materials" series, which starts with The Golden Compass; it's been really interesting so far. Like it a lot. I picked up another series at Borders the other day too. It's called Crossover: A Cassandra Kresnov Novel, the back seems like it'll be a good read.

I'm starting to look at all the stuff to bring down with me to Urbana. I'm not quite sure what all I'll need to bring, so I'm going with the stuff I know for sure I'll need for now. Clothes, sheets, and some stuff that I've talked to Mark and made sure, like plates and cups and junk. I'm excited to go, I think it'll be a great experience.

About all the major news for now.
