Pretend Graduation

May 15th, 2009 · 4 Comments · college life, dave, family

A couple of weeks ago we attended USU’s graduation ceremony up at the Spectrum. Dave walked, was hooded, and pretended to get his degree. He won’t actually be finished with classes until the first part of June, but they let him participate in the graduation ceremony anyway. Its too bad it didn’t mean we were […]

Dave is taking a game development course at the University right now. He and his team recently completed a Tetris game for the XBOX 360. His major contribution to the project was the AI (Artificial Intelligence). Watching the computer play the game is very interesting indeed. This picture is after about 3 hours of game […]

This past weekend we tackled what was the messiest and most cluttered room in our house. Our computer room. Dave and I are both pretty big computer geeks, each in our own way. So over the few years we’ve been married we’ve managed to collect all sorts of parts and gadgets and miscellaneous computer related […]

In honor of the events that took place on this day 7 years ago, I thought I’d take a minute to share my experiences from September 11, 2001. That particular school year I was living in “skankies” with the hottest girls at USU. Any of you that know these girls know that there was never […]

As promised in my College Life Timeline post, I am going to post more about my experiences during college. Before I go into too much detail about my first year at college there is a little bit you need to know about my childhood/adolescence… I lived a very sheltered life. I think I lived in […]

Word of the day: Oligopoly

August 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment · college life, dave, random

When I was helping Dave study for his Economics final yesterday, I was reading some of his past test questions and quizzing him. A word kept creeping in that I hadn’t heard before. I didn’t know the definition of the word, and I kept pronouncing it wrong. After butchering it a few times I finally […]

College Life Timeline

August 1st, 2008 · 3 Comments · college life, the funniest people we know, the hottest girls at USU, tina

My recent visit with old friends from my college days made me realize that there are gaps in my memory – or more specifically the chronology of events over the course of the years. I was reminded of tons of things we did together – and where my memories failed me others’ memories filled in. […]
