Finals Week Begins / In Other News, Bret Runs Away

I'm doing remarkably well for a guy who is on very little sleep and lots of caffeiene. It's not exactly the smartest way to kick off exams, but I'm confident my luck will hold out. I've got a bunch of good food in me from the Cracker Barrel breakfast yesterday, and a renewed sense of purpose and vigor, so all should be well.

I've also begun to notice, once again, the amount of abbreviations and acronyms I encounter in daily life, especially in my ISE major. People start to look at Matthew, Tom, Fred, and I when we start talking about our classes. For instance, I just took my ICC final, ACIS is up next, and hopefully I'll do well on both, or my QCA and GPA will be SOL. I'm also going to not be in my room much during the rest of the week, 'cause things like AIM and DVDs are distracting me too much. Maybe after all this is done, I'll be able to have a little R&R in VA or WV for a few days before I come back to work for GE while taking some FIN and ECON classes. Next fall, I'll have to worry about SQC and PPIC, but at least I got DOR and POR out of the way. The end of the semester is in sight, folks, and I couldn't imagine it just a few days ago.

I got this, partner, I got this.
