This quarter has probably been the most stressfull. So when the quarter finally drew to a close, we knew travelling was in order. dusda and I drove from the great SLC to Palm Springs again. The best part of the drive is undoubtably going through Vegas. The weather is finally 80 degrees, the lights are shining, the windows are down, and the problems float away with the realization that the quarter is over. We happily made it and I am planning on driving from here to mid California, then on to Michigan. I will keep everyone posted (no pun intended).

I had a few hours of spare time (finally), and I put together the video of me driving from Salt Lake City, Utah to Clare, Michigan.

Well I found a town with free wifi, and here I am. 1200 miles into the trip, and I don't know where I am going. Well I know where I am going, but I don't know the address. Fortunately, the trusty Internet will guide me where I need to go.

Recap. Yesterday was a fairly long day. I took my CS360 final that covered: COM+, Remoting, Message Queuing, Web Services, routing, and WSE3 Security policies. did alright on the written part, and got a 100% on the coding portion. Then I did a demo of mine and dusda's XNA assignment to our DirectX professor. That went pretty well also. The cool part, however, was the insane amount of feedback from the students when we let people play it in the student commons. Fortunately, we actually made a game that people replayed and switched off with one another. The remainder of the day was spent with my car. She was running poorly so I cleaned up the engine bay, changed the oil, swapped out some spark plugs, and fixed all the warning lights. Then another long night... this time for packing for the trip to Michigan.

Today was my final final. Mathmatics is not my strong suit although I am very interested in it. I just haven't done enough. So I was happy to get a 100% on the exam and finally end this quarter. What is ahead? 26 hours of driving.
