Finals week

Anyone who has spent any time around me while I have been going through finals knows that finals week is probably my favorite time of the school year. I know several people don't share my enthusiasm for finals, but I try to remind people that throughout the semester they have to take tests and write papers while they are still attending classes, whereas during finals week, they don't have classes to get in the way. This usually results in me spending a lot of time during finals week in the apartment playing Guitar Hero and a little time studying and taking tests. This finals week has been markedly different for me though. I only have 2 classes this semester, and only one final, so that part isn't really that different. I have been spending a lot of time on campus this week, however, and no time playing the usual games. The reason for this is that as a graduate student, I have to write a thesis. Unfortunately, I do not have a thesis topic. So, this last week, instead of spending all day in my pajamas loafing around the apartment, I actually have been getting up early and going to campus to do some experiments for possible thesis projects. The good news is that things seem to be progressing, and I should have a clearly defined project by the middle of next semester. The bad news is I haven't been improving my Guitar hero skills at all.

As Promised...

Here it is, the most recent, and most likely last, live performance of Love Machine, in all its glory. Enjoy!
