Well, not much to report here on the Jones home front. Basically all I have been doing lately is studying, homework, labs, and missing my girlfriend. I got 3 quizzes over the next 2 days so that is going to suck, except that I think I know basically how to do everything that will be on 2/3 the quizzes. Valentines Day has never really meant anything special to me before, I guess cause I never really put much effort into makin it something special. I actually can't even remember what I did for my ex-girlfriend (the only ex-girlfriend that I ever dated over Valentines Day). But this year I am putting in an effort to make it something special and I think know that my girlfriend is doing the same. Aaron said that his acceptance/decline letter is coming from A&M sometime soon, so everyone should wish him good luck. I was looking in my bank account today and realized that I NEED money, so hopefully Pops (aka my dad) can hook me up with a fat tax return this year. For all of you wondering why I don't do my own taxes, he is a CPA (Certified Public Accountant), so I think he is a little more qualified to do them than I am. Anyways, Im out, study time

Ok people, Im trying to get back into things including writing in my journal, I want to redo a bunch of stuff on the webpage, or something that incorporates webpages that I find interesting. This semester so far hasn't been too bad, although the work is starting to pile up and my professors dont seem to be as willing to offer help this semester. As far as the break went, I had a good break, worked the BR (for all of you not familiar with that acronym it stands for Banana Republic), and stocked up on pimp gear. The most recent news include the job search for the summer, Paul and I attended the Engineering career fair, and talked to a bunch of companies but have failed to hear anything back from them. The biggest lead though was from my attendance to the Nortel Informational meeting, and talking with the reps after the meeting led me to getting one of the guys emails, and I have talked to him and he said he is going to review my resume and offer me any suggestions. It just sucks because he is stationed in Irvine CA, and is relocating to Paris in a couple weeks, so that sucks that he isnt at the Richardson facility. Its crazy how you can live with someone and never see them, I am talking about my roommate Chaka, to tell you the truth I never see the guy and it sucks, anyways I know he is doing things that he enjoys (fish camp, one army and hospitality), hopefully he can keep up with his school work and get into the ID (industrial distribution) department when he wants to, anyways Im out, too tired, talk to you guys lata and keep checkin back, cause Im going to keep updating the log and webpage more often now.
