SILENCE!....I kill you....

Just chilling in my apartment right now watching Jeff Dunham's stand up. If you do not know who he is look him up on YouTube. He does stand up with puppets and all and it is hilarious. Watch Achmed the Dead Terrorist and you will understand why he is really funny. If you can also probably catch him again on Comedy Central.

With that little aside, school is kicking my ass right now. I only have a half week left and cannot wait for it to be over. This coming up Thursday is the grand opening of our new Building Construction building, Bishop-Favrao. All the donors are going to be there to see it and enjoy free food and open bar. All I know is that I will be all over that open bar..lol. I have to give a tour to some people from the Associated Building Contractors since they gave me a very nice scholarship for next year, but that should be fun. I am looking forward to the free food and music that will be there...did I mention the open bar?...lol

Tomorrow is my concert for Campus Band. I am really nervous about it, not because my part is hard, but because our percussion section is not the greatest in the world. There is going to be one song that will probably fall apart and it is not going to be pretty. Other than that it should be a good concert. The concert is at 3:00 is anyone is interested..lol.

My parents are coming up again this weekend for the concert. It's been pretty sweet seeing them these past two weekends. I haven't seen them since spring break and it's good to see them...plus the free dinners :-)

If anyone is interested I have a Twitter account now. I am still trying to figure out how to use all of its features but I have the basics down. Check it out if you want.... http://twitter.com/bose2k4

Here we go...

So I have noticed a lot of people have a blog here on blogger.com and I have decided to give it a try to see how all this goes. Welcome to my little piece of the internet and hope you enjoy my somewhat interesting life...haha.

Today was nothing special. The biggest thing to happen is my starting this blog. I have decided to start using the BT as much as possible to hopefully save on gas and I think it has been a good move on my part. Hopefully, next year I am going to apply to work for the BT. Stephen has gotten me interested in working for them and the thought of me driving a bus is just funny to me. We'll see how that goes and hopefully I will be driving around Blacksburg in a shinny, somewhat new, 40 foot bus. 

The biggest thing that is going on right now is the one year anniversary of the shootings here on campus. I cannot believe that a year has passed since last April. Since the start of the week all I can think about is how I felt after hearing of the news. I sat in my dorm room just watching the TV, hoping to hear good news. Tomorrow the Governor and President Steager are talking to the campus on the Drillfield in front of the memorial, and then tomorrow night is the candle light vigil. The MVs are meeting at War Memorial before the vigil and I think I am going to meet up with them. I know I was not apart of the MVs when all this happened, but I see them as one of my families here at Tech and I want to support them as much as I can.

That's it for now...
