Never go to Detroit with the sole intention of going to White Castle. You will get pulled over 100% of the time. Also, if you are brown, you will get pulled over 100% of the time. These are things that I didn't know but everyone here does. They were quite surprised that I thought that "Going to White Castle" was an acceptable reason to be crossing the border. By the way, neither is "I want to see Detroit". They're too smart for that since there's nothing to see in Detroit.
With reading week coming up, it's unfortunate that you know, I'm actually going to have to pick up a book for the first time. The week after I get back will consist of 3 mid-terms (in 2 days), 4 problem sets/lab reports, 1 essay and a final meeting with our consulting team for our fourth year project. It'll be a wonderful week. The motivation for this semester still hasn't arrived and I'm not sure where it went. Last semester, I worked as hard as ever and was rewarded with my best semester yet. This time around, I've got nothing. The driving force of the promise of good marks means nothing and I'm loathe to blame this on the feeling of this being the last semester. I choose to blame a lackluster set of classes that hold no interest. Plus classes with 70 other people just ain't my cup of tea. I've become accustomed to the personal attention of having environmental/civil classes of 25 of us. On the plus side, 3rd year Mechanicals are stupid and are dragging down the class average
I wonder if anyone would be willing to hire an engineering student, one credit short of his degree this fall. I should probably drop some resumes off this week at local firms. Or maybe I'll find myself working at Food Basics again or maybe I could be lucky enough to be selling Chamillionaire CDs to thugged-out kids at the Town Centre. Now that would be fun.
I'm really starting to dig The Raconteurs. I'm not sure why.
