Yep.

So, 2007 is just about over, and I haven't blogged in about two months, so I figure it's about due time for an update. So let's see...school is done for this semester. It was a semester full of disappointment and stress saved only by the two clubs that I belong to on campus keeping me sane. The beginning of November I joined the campus' television network, STN. I'm part of the graphics department, creating over the shoulder and various on screen graphics and controlling on screen graphics and animations during the live show. It's a crapload of fun and it feels good to be a part of live television, even if noone outside the campus really gets to see it. I still enjoy it. The people there are pretty cool too. 'Tis a good time.

My other group is awesome as well, my a cappella group. We went through quite a lot this semester, we lost a few major people, but that only pushed us to get stronger and more betterer. That's right, more betterer. At the end of this post, I'll put up links to our concert from November.

Right now I'm at home enjoying some much needed time off from school. I had a very awesome Christmas. I got a Zune! I can finally retire my old antique mp3 player. That should've been dead and gone a long time ago, but I wouldn't let it die. Now it can be put out to pasture. 30 gigs of good times. Also for Christmas I got a new hoodie, and a sphinx figurine straight from Egypt (care of my brother). My presents are awesome. I got my mother a long string of black and white pearls, and for my brother, Smallville Season 6 on DVD. They both enjoyed their presents. It's been great having my brother home, it's the first Christmas in three years where the whole family (mom, brother, grandmother and myself) was together. It was kindof a bittersweet Christmas in a way though. It's the last Christmas that we will have with our dog.

Our dog, Midnight, has been a part of our family since 1992. My brother and I grew up with her. I was 7 and he was 15 when we got her. she was only 4 months old. We had never seen a dog with jet black fur and a purple tongue (yep, her tongue is purple). We all have so many good memories with her, and she has been with us for so long (15 years!!!), so it's heartbreaking for all of us to see her slowly slip away. Earlier in the month she was diagnosed with cancer, stemming from a tumor inside of her mouth. It's gotten large rather quickly and it's making her weaker by the day. As of right now it's getting hard for her to even walk. Because of her present state, my family and I have decided to have her put down on Wednesday. It will be a hard day for all of us, but we will all be there around her to the end.

That's about it for right now. Got to rest up for tomorrow, gonna be a damn good time tomorrow. Wishing you all a happy new year. Phone post will probably happen sometime during that night.
