I tested for my orange belt in Karate tonight. I'll find out if I passed this week sometime. I feel pretty good about it.

Thursday I'm going on a school trip to Texas to see how precision turbine blades are cast/grown.

I have been riding as much as I can, sometimes pushing the limits with the weather.

My roommate from freshman year, Joe (A.K.A. Mr. Business, who is now Mr. Biology), came down from KSU and I got to party with him a bit.

My family is coming down this weekend! That is going to be a good time.

I'm pretty boring this semester.

::EDIT::
I would also like to add a thank you to my sister who is a devoted fan to this site. As you can see I update rarely, but anytime I check the footprints, there is always a visted by My-Boondoggle... everyday. :)

The can in my hand is a Monster Energy drink. It's the "BFC," meaning Big F'n Can. It's Monster's largest at a boastful 24oz. I haven't opened it nor do I intend to anytime soon. Novelty item.

This is the Seattle skyline courtesy of Marshal Funk's Flickr site, and those are 15 DVD cases lined up above it. It was also a pretty good gift I thought.

I've been able to do some riding which is great for some stress relief. It's midterm time and it's started to hit. Today I had 2 papers, 5 other assignments, and 2 tests today. HooWah!

Erin hooked me up with a really good Cookie recipe and they are amazing.

My friend Rockets and I are really getting into the Karate / Mixed Martial Arts thing. I bought some mouth guards and am looking for a pair of MMA grappling training gloves. Kind of like the one below.
