It’s 1:38a. I woke up about 20 minutes ago, and figured I needed to do something to settle my mind. The weather has gotten nicer — sunny days with little/no rain. But these hours are killing me, especially since I procrastinate. I had an assignment for one of my Hopkins […]
So, the school year is coming to an end finally. It has been a rough year, and next year should be a bit more lax (4 humantities, 3 math courses, and 1 cs course), which also means I will graduate a quarter early if all goes well. In a few weeks, I’ll be […]
So, this weekend was pretty entertaining. It began with the initiation of seven new brothers, including my 2nd little brother, Kevin Michael Backfish. After initiation, my lineage (John William Burgner III, Kevin Michael Backfish, and yours truly) went to Outback Steakhouse with the rest of the Pikes. While there, I tried to […]
So, it’s been a while since my last post. Quite a bit of stuff has happened. Spring break was two weeks ago. It was stressful and fantastic at the same time. I saw almost all of my friends (except for Scott who moved to Colorado on a whim) and drank with […]
It’s been quite some time since my last entry. Not much has happened — classes seem to be going well, and I’m relatively happy. I may have bronchitis (according to the Doc), but it’s not too debilitating. For the past while, the ‘brotherly love’ has seemed to be slipping, but it is […]
Rose-Hulman is a superb academically. But there are a few major problems. Most recently, it does not allow its students to focus on the important things in life — specifically, events that concern friends and family. This quarter, two of my friends have had someone near to them die, but because of rigor and intensity […]
It’s tenth week of the second quarter at Rose. Next week is finals week. This week is awful. Two tests, a Reals assignment, three take-home essay questions for a test, reading about models of capitalism, the stock market, and the winner’s curse, and an economic paper and presentation about my “free-rider” experiment. […]
It’s been a busy recently concerning internships. Still waiting to hear back from UTA. Scheduled my Guidant interview for this coming Friday. re: Data Services called me this morning for more information and will be contacting me shortly. Lastly, I was pre-selected for an interview with Expedia.com today. Maybe I […]
So today should have been a bad day. Reals was due today, so all day Wednesday I was working on finishing up that homework. In addition, I had Micro Econ homework due today too. And if that wasn’t enough, I had a senior project meeting today to go over the Test Plan, […]
