Jon hosted an end-of-the-semester party tonight. We enjoyed some excellent homemade chili over a heated game of Pictionary. One lesson learned there: if you have three separate groups in an all-play, it’s really hard to know who got the answer first. We ended up winning, but there were several times that we didn’t know if we had answered first, or if one of the other teams had, so they gave it to us since we were behind by half the board at the time… Not sure if we can really claim any victory there. Fact is we sucked the whole first half of the game.

After that I learned that I suck at Halo. Like really suck. Only 3 kills when everyone else gets 15 to 25 suck. I got better as the night progressed, but by the time the bus came at 11:45 I was still unchallenged for last place :-/ … we’ll call that a learning experience, and chalk most of it up to my inability to handle the awkward controls. Watching my half of the TV made for a good laugh though. Maybe it’s worth investing in an Xbox to practice on and hack into a media center pc?

Anyway, one of the highlights of the night that most people missed was the pie. I’m going to have to take cooking lessons from Jon. French silk pie = awesome.

Other than that, all my classes are done, and two finals besides. Just 3 to go. Tomorrow will be devoted to a lot of circuit analysis and statistics studying. If anybody’s interested in going somewhere and studying in the morning/afternoon so that I don’t spend the whole day here at my desk, let me know. A brief racquetball/supper respite is planned for the 5:15 timeframe when Jared gets done with his review session.
