I'm lucky, my other classes don't have exams, not even finals -- grad classes ftw

go study, foo. Gotta keep that GPA for scholarships

Deku, aren't you graduating or something? Last semester doesn't really matter, all you need to do is get your degree.

Last semester GPA kinda does matter unless you can line up a job before graduation, which some of us did not.

lol my ece290 TA spent the first half of discussion trying to convince our class that our midterm this week was both easier and shorter than previous years' despite our average being 51% vs 56% from last semester.

that said, i'm down to smash tmw or sometime this weekend. i have no class tmw thanks to engineering open house :D

I'm never gonna get a job with my GPA :( guess it'll be up to the stunning good looks and great personality...

actuarial news

I managed to get a job with Humana in Louisville. I start in about 2 weeks.

That was my 7th on-site interview. It doesn't take most people that many, but that's where a personality would have come in handy.

Couple hours south of Indianapolis. Just before you get into the Dirty Souf.
Hey now, I'm from the South -- and Louisville is already sufficiently Southern -- I normally stop there when I go back home, and I still get cheesed off at Southern drivers: everyone's so slow and passive-aggressively excessively courteous. Also, lots o' fatties, lol

Matt, I was thinking of renting a house, and I'm not sure exactly how it's going to work but I hope I can just make one trip to find a place and another to move in. Evidently they're going to help me find something.

Oh yeah, something occurred to me. Have you posted your resume on the outpost for critique?

I may join you guys, so plan it out on here. Unless you don't want me to join; then you can keep it a secret.

Long as your exams are prominent. At first I had them listed in the same line with commas and they weren't so easy to make out.

So we played Project M a little, and apparently there are a handful of other mods. I just tried Brawl+, and it's ok -- it still have the same crappy physics of Brawl, but your character actually executes the attack immediately when you press the button, so it's like playing Brawl without lag and you're just limited by the natural slowness of the characters (although I only tried Lucario and Ike, so who knows)

Reading the description of Brawl- as pure craziness makes me think it would be a fun thing to try out if we all play later :D

Project M is still the closest thing to Melee (wave-dashing, old smashes and air attacks), but Brawl+ is Brawl (same physics and attacks) that is significantly more bearable.

they stopped working on brawl+ though. the project is dead in favor of project m.

P:M ain't melee, but its got serious potential. too bad it screws up my tech skill for melee everytime i play it.

I would be down, but Kevin mentioned Wednesday. Of course, you can never have enough Smash -- and it'd be an opportunity to get Project M out of (into) your system

Wanna bump that up a couple hours, or do you have something going on?

There might be a chance I'll be out of town and it won't matter anyway.
