Invention is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple

I used to update much more frequently, but with the bulk of oceanography trivia that is swirling in my brain, there's not much room for any other activity. My class only has 2 1/2 weeks left. It's amazing how quickly it went. What is even more amazing is that I have been calling housing office to get my internet fixed for the entire time I've been here, and realizing I only have a matter of a few weeks left, I've given up and have resorted to sharing Megan's the entire time. I got my grades back on my first midterm. I got a B. He asked a lot questions about specific currents and percentages. I'm not happy considering this is the only class I have to study for so I shouldve done better, but hopefully I'll do better on the next one.

The last few weeks have been marked by finishing the ADPi website I have been working on for a long while. It's nothing amazing, but through all the frustrations of html and things that shouldve worked but didnt, I've learned a lot about creating web pages. So now I'm starting to work on my own personal site to use as a digital portfolio of any graphic design work I might want to show. I'm kind of excited about it because you aren't tied down to a group image or what you think the most people will like or respond to. My personal site can be designed however I want. You can check out the ADPi site at www-scf.usc.edu/~adpi

I'm going all the way up to Sacramento this Thursday and Friday to pick up the new puppy. We're finally getting one! We were originally going for a beige colored one, but they had a picture up of a scruffy little black one with a white patch on its chest and I fell in love. I figured the color doesn't really matter, he'll still be lovable and cuddly. So he'll be around this weekend if anyone wants to visit him.

Right now, I'm looking at some postcards I have from various places: the victorian houses in San Francisco, a pumpkin patch in Half Moon Bay, Redwood trees, a light house and the fog. I'm thinking about how much I want to be in San Francisco. I really think that after college it'll be time for a move. Maybe I'll apply for jobs in san francisco area. It's close enough so that I can still see my family too. Won't be for a while, guess I'll have to be content with the sound of police sirens in LA for now.
