Feel Good, Inc.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

First good news I got for the day was that I got the second highest score in my Linear Circuits final exam. With a reported score of 97/100 and the highest score being a 98, this made me feel pretty sweet about the class. I could have at least tied the highest score - I forgot to put "Active" in my description of the filter

This good news was countered by my somewhat lackluster score of 89/200 on a Engineering Economy final exam. Entering that test, I was actually doing very well, with a very high score. After the test, I definitely dropped spots, but I still have a very solid hold above the class average. Or maybe I don't really care otherwise

Maybe I am destined to be an electrical engineer, not a civil engineer. Hah hah

Summer reading options. So I came across a link of the "100 Books Every Man Must Read" (or some title like that). It was a list of familiar titles, including Crime and Punishment, Brave New World, The Stranger, The Master and Margarita, Moby Dick, On The Road, The Prince, Self Reliance, The Great Gatsby, Ulysses, Confederacy of Dunces, etc. I was pleased to recognize 90% of the titles, and to have read 60% of the books on the list. There were a lot of repeaters, including Hemingway and Steinbeck. As this was a required reading list FOR MEN women authors such as Jane Austen and Toni Morrison were left out. But I was able to scribble down some titles

Summer 2008 Reading List:
The Count of Monte Cristo
On The Road
Foucault's Pendulum
White Noise
Slaughterhouse Five
Catch 22
(more to come)

Currently listening to: K-Os

Wow! I'm 21!

The Count of Monte Cristo and Slaughterhouse are on my list of faves (and it's a pretty short list). On the Road is also pretty good. Have you read Lady Chatterley's Lover, dh lawrence? read that!
