I'm going to a wedding this weekend!

My uncle is getting married Saturday so I get to go to a wedding this weekend. It's being held in upstate New York, kind of a long drive but I have company so it shouldn't be too bad. Right now I'm just getting ready trying to find the quickest way there, and also do research on where to buy gas. In Harrisonburg it's $2.59 but I know in the rest of the country it's probably a lot higher, and I'm still a poor college student. I'm really excited about getting to see my family. School is my life for 9 months out of the year and I immerse myself in it completely, but it's really nice to take a break and really appreciate my amazing family. So I've been looking forward to this weekend for a while. I think I may bring my clubs and go golfing, to practice what I learn in my golf class!

On another subject, in my computer science class I am writing more programs. At first I was really lost in the class, but after working with the JAVA programming language a bit I think I'm really getting the hang of it. Also, I'm sure that catching up on my reading helped a lot as well. On the risk of sounding nerdy I really look forward to my lab classes in CS 139, because I know I get to develop something and execute it. There's really no cooler feeling than watching something you made run, especially something as technical as a computer program.

Another class I'm really working in is my Leadership class. We're doing a presentation next week on Humor in the Workplace to all our classmates. When I signed up for the presentation I didn't fully realize the pressure we had put on ourselves to be funny during our presentation. I'm not too worried though, my group is really great, and we've been working on this for over a week now so we are pretty prepared. And when you're prepared it all falls into place and works out great in the end.

Well that's all for now, talk to you all later!
