Okay, I figure a lot of people are wondering at this point why the heck I've been absent from DA for over a month... Simply put, I'm busy. BUSY busy. I feared this would happen, as I mentioned in my last journal entry. My schedule this semester is killing me, and I ended up having to drop one class after badly failing my first test (differential equations - be glad you're not in it). It was a big shock, because I've never failed a test in my life. Anyway, I'm going to take that class this summer when I have more time to devote to it. For the time being, though, I'm still in a crazy rush to keep up with my other classes. This weekend is going to be nothing but work, since I have a paper due on Monday and I'm a week behind on my Dynamics homework. Well, I think that's enough complaining for now - don't want to get you all down too. Just wanted to explain how bad the situation is.

On a positive note, In half an hour I'm being interviewed by Baker-Hughes for a possible summer internship learning mechanical design. At least I'll have something productive to do this summer if I make it in. Last summer was a pathetic waste for me, just sitting on my duff and doing nothing. I got quite bored.

Alright, so I also wanted to apologize for my lack of feedback on everyone's messages and works and not even dropping a hint as to my situation until now. At least now you know what's going on. I promise I'll start sorting through those messages as soon as I catch a break from school. Until then, hope you're all doing well. And if I have a burst of creativity in my spare time, I might upload a couple of five-minute doodles or something. I'm sure a few of you are hungry for some new work to look at.
