A little venting

Well, I was called by an engineering firm for an interview on Monday. The interview is tomorrow and I am really excited! I hope I get that internship, I am tired of working in places that have little or nothing to do with my chosen Major. If I get this internship, I will finally be able to decide if I like engineering or not. They are a civil engineering firm that I don't know much about. Wish me luck in the interview!

This morning, I arrived a bit early for my programming class. I noticed one of my classmates working on a paper. What is he doing, I thought. We work on computers in this class. Then I asked, "whatcha' workin' on?"

"The test that is due today."

The little procrastinator inside of me had won again! I frantically searched through my things to find the test paper that had been handed out one week ago, today. To my relief, I found the paper. To my chagrin, it was blank.

I looked at the clock, ten minutes until class started. I worked through the first few problems and found most of it to be fairly intuitive. When the teacher arrived, I left so that I could concentrate on the test. Twenty minutes later, I had finished the test and he had just started to grade the test. An I got a 91% on it.

Cheers

Stories

In High School, I took a creative writing class and I started a story that I really liked but, I never finished it. While I was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Russia, I started stories but never finished them. I feel that they were pretty good, but I have a hard time getting past the first page.

Check this out:
"What is there left to do but wait?" asked Jusos, the king's advisor.
"Wait for what, my son to just appear out of thin air?" replied the king. "No, we must send another expedition to take him back. I cannot tolerate this situation any longer!"

Jusos knew that this would be the response of the king, this same conversation had taken place many time before in the last six months. With battles raging between the two nations, the king had sent most of his best knights to retrieve the prince from the enemy. None had returned, nor sent word, but many had been sent body-less back to the King.

"I know that he will be safe . . . he must be safe. The prophecy has said that he would be king, Jusos," said the king.
