After months of being asked what my plans are for next year, I can finally provide answer to that question.  I have recently been accepted to Loyola University Chicago and will starting my Masters in Computer Science May 24th.

Omaha Half – Marathon

September 28th, 2009

So I’m really making myself sound like quite the runner lately since all of my posts have to do with running.  I ran in the Omaha Half Marathon this past sunday and I’m still sore.  My final chip time was 2:14:19 which for the lack of traning I had that’s not too bad.

My dad came into town to watch me run.  Overall it was a great weekend.  He has a couple pictures of me in my running garb and maybe I will post those later on if I get them off his camera.

Corporate Cup 10k

September 20th, 2009

I ran a 10k today, the Omaha Corporate Cup.  I ran for the Union Pacific team.  We had awesome shirts that said “Never Race A Train.”  It was a pretty easy out and back 6.2 miles.  This coming Sunday is the Omaha Full Marathon.  I’ve never ran a full marathon and it will be interesting to see how it goes.  I had a training schedule but I didn’t stick to it nearly as much as I should have.

Week 3 and a 1/2

September 16th, 2009

Technically this is our fourth week of school.  I guess this is where things get serious.

Classes are going alright, the irony is History 101 is my hardest class.  I knew it wasn’t going to be fun which is why I pushed taking general history off until my Senior year.

All of my Computer Science classes are going well, for the most part.  Computer Organization is off to a rough start but I have high hopes for that one.  My Journalism class is a lot of fun, Interactive Design, however I’m awful with CS4 so I’m having some issues getting off the ground in that one.  We have to create a 20 second flash ad, which is a loooooonnnnngggg time, I have a good idea I’m just having some issues implementing it.
