EEmajorpain's Xanga

Mmmm.....Maui

Mon, 28 May 2007 00:24:27 GMT

Yeah, I'm sitting in my hotel room in Maui updating Xanga. Why? Because I suck. And because all those "subtle hints" have gotten to me. Haha. Nothing really new around here. 3.61 GPA this quarter. Wish I had done better (stupid chemistry) but I'll take 3 A's and 2 B's in the core classes any day. Starting this fall though, things are going to get crazy. Senior design, five classes again, plus marching band, and I'm going to be running around non-stop. Could be a little ridiculous. Hope I can handle it.

Back to work next Monday. Same building, different group. I'll live with my cousin til he sells his house (he moves to Chicago in August) then I don't know what I'm going to do. Live in the car maybe. I'm supposed to have a contract offer from AEP by the end of the summer, with only the decision of where I would like to work left to make. That's pretty exciting. No, that's very exciting. I just hope I like what I do this summer. I don't want a repeat of last year to ruin it for me. I just don't know where I'll go after I graduate. Hopefully not Texas. I'd like to stay in Columbus I think. I won't have a field job in Columbus, but I don't think that'll be a problem for me. I'd rather not get the calls around 5am to fix people's power. But who knows. I'll go where the job is.

Otherwise, I'm the same. I get some amazing company next weekend when I move in to my cousin's house. Hope everything I need will fit into my car. Cavs suck, but at least the Indians are doing pretty well (knock on wood). Probably just jinxed that too. I'm heading back outside because it's beautiful out, and I'm looking like a lobster in places and a Mexican in others. No one reads this thing anymore, but have a good summer anyway.

Hmph

Yeah. A long time. I get it. It's been a busy busy busy time around here. Chem test tomorrow, paper due Monday, presentation due next week, take home test due Monday, SBF all weekend long, honors weekend....it just never ends. Once I'm through this weekend, things will be nice until finals start the next week.

Work got all set up for this summer. That's finally off my back. I'll be back in Gahanna working in a different group than the last time, so I'm pretty excited about that. I should be living with my cousins on the north side, at least until their house sells and I have to move. If and when that happens, I'm not sure where I'll end up. Could be an interesting few months, depending on how things work out. At least I got a raise for the summer

Senior design project for next year: moisture control system for a greenhouse. Basically we have to build a system that will measure the moisture in the soil and turn sprinklers on and off, depending on how dry it is and what parameters we set. It wasn't my first choice, but I guess it'll do. My group seems like we'll work pretty well together, so we'll see how it works out. I'm ready for the quarter to be over. I'm tired of three labs and too much work to do for everything. Next quarter will be kinda nice since my class load drops a little bit. Unfortunately, it gets picked up by the senior design project. So I'll probably have even less free time than I do right now. Figures. The price of a real major. Haha.

Other than that, things are things. I need to get back to studying and all that. My least favorite class of all time: Chemistry. Who cares about chemistry? Boo. Revive me when the weekend is over.

22 is Just a Number

So. Birthday yesterday. Thanks to all those who sent happy birthday greetings. My parents came up and took me out to dinner Saturday night, then stayed for my brother's combined concert with ONU's Men's Chorus. They did really well. I always enjoy singing when it's done well. Gives me chills sometimes. Ended up getting a new pair of glasses as a present. I'm pretty dizzy right now staring at a computer screen. It's a little fish-eyed view. It'll take a while to get used to. I'm just going to use them at night unless my eyes are really bothering me for some reason. I don't really feel any older. Oh well. Just another day I guess.

This quarter is going to be rough. Mondays are really the suck. Class from 9-5 without a break. Chemistry is about the most worthless subject I think I've ever studied. I spent three hours in lab today measuring water. Yeah, water. I'm still pretty pissed about it. Tuesdays are pretty nice, with only one class all day at 9 until jazz band that night. Wednesdays consist of two three-hour labs, one at 8 and one at 2. Thursday and Friday are identical, where I have class from 9 to 2 straight. The block of classes are nice because the day is over in one shot, but it makes for some long days.

Otherwise, nothing really going on. Wind ensemble tour this weekend to Chicago, so that'll be a good time. Too bad I'll have to do homework the entire time to get caught up since I'm missing so much in every single class. I really don't know what else to write on here. Nothing goes on anymore other than school, and that's boring enough that I don't care about it, let alone anyone reading this. So, here's to a good week, a safe trip, and whatever else may be going on.

Holy 2007, Batman!

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 21:53:00 GMT

Oops. Guess it has been a little longer than I thought. And what better way to procrastinate and not study for a huge test tomorrow than by updating the thing that no one reads or cares about? So here goes nothin'.

So...yeah. Work's all done (has it really been that long?). Back to school and all that. It was a little difficult to get used to at first, but I'm back in the swing of things now. We're into week 8 of winter quarter. Hard to believe how quickly time is passing by. I'm fuzzy at best in three of my four classes, and the one that I actually understand and can do things in has nothing to do with my major (and no one likes or needs chemistry anyway). However, I am excited about what I'm doing and where it's going. I know I picked the right major for me. The challenge is ridiculous, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

The week from hell is about to start. I've got this Power Systems test tomorrow afternoon, then everything just breaks loose. We got two homework assignments and a huge project in lab today for Power due next week, so I just threw that on top of the pile that already includes chem homework and a test next week, plus 12th Night stuff every night starting Saturday and running through next Sunday. I'm not going to have a lot of time, that's for sure. But that's why I'm back in school. I enjoy keeping busy out of my mind. Challenging myself to keep on top of things and micromanaging my life is what I do best. It's a good feeling when everything gets accomplished and it's another job well done. Well, hopefully a job well done.

Otherwise, I guess it's same old same old. I'm so glad to be back in jazz band. I missed playing hardcore. Tuesdays and Thursdays are the most enjoyable days around just because I get to play and rock out. Or swing out, whatever the song requires. I do wish we had the band back together (boo me leaving and people graduating) but I'll take what I can get. 12th Night is just another chance for me to play, and there's even talk of some sort of reunion thing happening. Too bad I'm not cut out to be a percussion teacher. Haha. I'll just hire on to the local high school where I live after graduation. Maybe.

Hope that's enough for everyone's satisfaction. I'm going back to studying for a while, then jazz band tonight, KKY stuff, and finally more studying. Everyone have a good next couple of weeks.

Okay, okay, okay....

Thu, 12 Oct 2006 23:04:15 GMT

Yeah, it's been a while. Sue me. So this entry will be long. The premise - I'm going to leave the edit window open and throw in random thoughts I deem worthy of writing about that I have over the next few hours (current time is 4:30pm). Prepare yourselves; some of you may be offended, some may not like what I write, some may absolutely agree with me. That's what the comments are for. Leave them if something strikes you. I'm bored, so are the random thoughts I'm having:

1. Something smells in this apartment and I can't find the source. I may have to spend the next few hours hunting down this smell. It frigging stinks. Unfortunately I only catch a small whiff of it every few minutes. This could cloud all thinking until I find it.....

2. I think the fence needs to be built between the US and Mexico. Now. I was reading today about a woman who came across the border to have her baby (making the kid an automatic citizen of the US) seven years ago. This woman has now been deported back to Mexico because she got caught. Now the kid (with the obvious help from a lawyer) has written a letter to Dubya, pleading for a meeting to explain to him why his mother should be allowed to stay in the country. Here's a clue kid - your mother was illegal. You should not be in this country to begin with, but because of the laws we already have in place, you get to stay here while Mommy dearest is kicked out. I say send him back with her. He shouldn't be here in the first place. It's amazing to me how these illegal aliens pour over the border into our country, work for a pittance in some crap job, and then demand to have rights bestowed upon them as though they've earned them. I call bullshit. And I'm tired of hearing about it. If you want to live here, learn the language and enter this country legally like hundreds of thousands of other immigrants do. Living in the US is a privilege, not a right. You have to stand in line and apply for citizenship. Take the test, learn some decent English, and stop bitching about your "rights" when all you've done is broken the law in order to get here. Some argue that illegals work the jobs that no other American would work; without them, our economy (and our way of life) would collapse without these aliens working these jobs. Funny thing is, by working these jobs, they're basically stealing from the actual, legal workers here by not paying any taxes on that income. Also, I'm so sick of seeing Spanish everywhere I go and look, just to accomodate these people that come here illegally and don't bother to learn the language. Respect the laws and culture of this country, and maybe people here will respect you back. I'm all for immigration - our ancestors immigrated here long ago. The difference? They did it legally. Enough on this topic.

3. I think The Greg Wilson (yeah, The Greg Wilson, like The Ohio State University) is the most annoying comedian I have ever in my life seen or heard. And his name is just the tip of the iceburg. Please go die, do us all a favor.

4. I think T.O. is an overpayed, overrated, and a bitchy crybaby. I'm tired of hearing him mouth off about how his team won't throw to him and how much of a difference he could make if he was just thrown to more in games. Why don't you go swallow some more pills there buddy? I'm tired of hearing about you and your attention-depraved self. You just signed a $25 million deal for three years. Most people would feel pretty fortunate if they were in your shoes, so just please please please shut up.

5. I think it still stinks in here. Grr.

6. I think I'm ready to get back to ONU and get out of the work force. I like Columbus well enough, but I was just thinking the other day, "I have two of the hardest years of school left ahead of me. I need to get cracking on that, because I feel pretty overwhelmed right now," while I was scheduling for classes. I just hope I can last that long and actually graduate with a pretty good GPA, get a nice job, and start a family at some point. Wow, time crawls looking ahead, but flies when you look back.

7. I think as immature it may be, farting is one of the funniest things on this green earth. Especially when other people do it.

8. I think the Jack Link jerky commercials featuring Big Foot are some of the funniest commercials I've ever seen.

9. I think EES is one of the best things that's happened to me in....well...maybe ever. Just saying.

10. I think internet relationships are ridiculous. I read today where a guy proposed to a girl that he met while playing an MMORPG. He proposed to her on a public forum for the game. He's known her for five months. They've talked on the phone. He's NEVER MET HER IN REAL LIFE. Does this strike anyone else as odd? I can't see how a relationship like this can work. No fights to gauge how each will react. No real substance in their relationship. All they have is this game. I'm all for meeting people online. Get to know them a little, gauge your feelings, etc. But to propose after five months without ever meeting face to face and DATING?! I think people need to get out of their houses and go on some dates. Yeesh.

11. I think the phrase "I could care less" is the most idiotic, asinine, and unbelievably stupid phrases ever. This makes absolutely no sense. If you could care less, then why the hell don't you? I believe what you mean is "I COULDN'T care less". There. That makes much more sense. And it doesn't make you sound like an idiot. Along these same lines; if you don't know the difference between your and you're, or their, there, and they're, or to and too, or its and it's, you should go back to middle school english class and pay attention this time. It's amazing to see how many people butcher these words in text all the damn time. I hate how stupid people can be at times.

12. I think smoking is one of the most disgusting things anyone can do. It makes you smell, it makes you look bad, and it KILLS YOU. Even one little stick, even once every other month. I want to throw up every time I even think about it. Why would anyone voluntarily put themselves through something like that? Seems so stupid to me. I love purposefully inhaling some CO. What a rush. Oh wait, I forgot, smoking is cruise control for cool. My bad. Guess I should start so I can fit in with the cool kids. No, thanks. (Disclaimer: if you're a smoker, it's nothing against you. I hate the act of smoking, not the smoker. Ask my Grandpa, who has a permanent trachiotomy because of what smoking did to his throat. Just don't expect me to hang around if you start lighting up. Expose yourself to it all you want, but I want absolutely no part of it. So I'll be elsewhere until you brush your teeth, take a shower, and get that nasty crap all out of your system. Just saying.)

13. I think there is nothing on television between the hours of 4pm when I get home until 7pm, when Scrubs comes on Comedy Central. Though tonight, Jam Sessions is on BET Jazz, and that is one stellar show.

14. I think Stephen King is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite authors. Read the Dark Tower series, and you'll see what I mean.

15. I think I'm hungry. Hence, a short hiatus. Current time: 7pm.

16. I think I found the source of that smell. Stupid garbage disposal.

17. I think I'm tired of all the political ads that are being aired for the November Congressional elections. Silly politicians.

I think I'm tired of thinking. Bed time for Nicolas. Outties. Everyone have a great rest of the quarter. I only have six weeks left of worky work.

Boo crappy work day. Hooray beer!

Tue, 22 Aug 2006 13:41:38 GMT

So band camp for ONU starts this Friday. I'll admit, I'm going to miss it. Just hanging out with drumline and bandos is worth it. Then again, I'll still be raking in the money for...updating my Xanga. Hmm...

I taught my first real camp the other week. I went with Westland High School's band down to Hillsboro, OH (at a Christian camp) for a week to work with the pit. Overall, I had quite the enjoyable experience. The pit seemed to take in and try to apply what I said, and I saw significant progress and improvement from (nearly) all the players. The one exception left midway through the week for reasons still unclear to me. Freshman, first time away from home....you'd think most people would WANT to get away. Ah well. The music for the show is pretty awesome. Anything that involves the music from Pink Floyd is bound to be ridiculous. I'm sure they (the band that is) will have a very productive and successful year this year. Courtney and Brian (and all the staff involved) do a great job with those kiddos. But the week opened my eyes - I'd never make a good band director. I don't have the patience. As much as I love music, both teaching and performing, being in charge of an entire group of high school students is not for me. All I want to do is continue to play percussion after I graduate. I'm certain I don't ever want to give that up. Maybe I can teach some private lessons for whatever school district in which I'll be living, but that's as far as I want to go into education. I'd rather just play and jam and rock out as much as I can. Some sort of jazz gig. Or something. Who knows.

What else?....

Erin moves this weekend to Bellefontaine. I'm going to miss being able to hang out with her all the time. Seeing her only once or twice a week will be quite the change. She's probably growing tired of me anyway...Haha. But we'll deal with it. She's quite the extraordinary one.

Cory pushed himself down the hallway of the hospital this past week, albeit slowly. Still, this is amazing. Gives us all a big big hope for the future. I was reading an article the other day about a "chair" that allows its user to stand up. Basically, it operates much like a Segway scooter does, where a computer-controlled balance system would allow the rider to be in a completely vertical position while strapped in and secured. This puts people at their full standing height instead of being stuck at half the height of those who can stand on their own. I don't recall how it operates exactly, or how it moves (hand controls I think?), but it looked pretty awesome for those who have lost mobility. I can't find the article at the moment, but I'll post it if I come across it again.

Otherwise, all has remained the same. Jack leaves for school again on Friday, so I'll be pretty lonely in the apartment complex and on the commute to and from work. It's hard to believe that I'm almost done with my year-long work stint. I only have a couple of months left. Not sure where I'm going to work next summer yet. There have been a couple of co-op lectures recently that have piqued my interest in AEP again, so I may not change companies quite yet. I'd still like to try to get in at Bose or Honda, but we'll see what happens.

That's all, folks. Back to mindlessly staring at the old computer screen for a few more hours until I go home to eat, sleep, and do it all again tomorrow. Ah, the life of working, white-collar America. Yeah...

Peace out.

It's August already?!

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 12:46:57 GMT

My goodness. It's been awhile. I'm sure you're all dying to know what the latest news in the world o' Nick happens to be. Weellllll (that's right, you know how to say it), there's been quite a bit that's been going on. First and foremost - Cory's condition. I'm certain most of you know by now, but for the uninformed, a very close friend from ONU was injured weekend before last while we were camping in St. Mary's. He jumped into shallow water (we didn't realize it was shallow at the time) and hit his head on the bottom, crushing and/or damaging three of his vertibrae (C5, C6, C7 for those who know about these things). Right now, there is no feeling in his legs, and his fingers are very weak. Physical therapy has him pretty drained overall, as they are working on his arms/shoulders/fingers/hands. Please just keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers. They need as many as they can get right now.

Work is a pain. I'm still working on those drawings (see previous post) because they keep changing minute details and I can't seem to satisfy everyone. The fence standards have been submitted to the final committee for approval before I can issue them as the "real deal" out on our drawing server. So the past two months of work have been on the same thing. Wonderful. Only four more months of it. Maybe instead of updating here I should actually try to get something accomplished....

Nah.

Jack and I went on the co-op trip for work last week. We visited Canton and Pittsburgh. Whooptee do. But having a free week of great food and hotel accomodations was nice. I spent $20 the whole week, all of it on the beer that Biff, Skinny, Jack and I shared, so it was well worth it. Some of the tours were pretty interesting. Most of them were boring; in turn, I will not bore you with the details of each. Suffice it to say I didn't learn much, though I did get a Q-Laser generator out of it, cheap as it may be.

Tennessee was ridiculous. I wish I had been able to stay the entire time; alas, work called me home. The horror movie setting was nice though, especially on the walk back to the cabin after passing around the gate that was locked but wasn't really. It was a beautiful setting overall, and spending time with the drumline (plus Rachel....haha) is always quite the experience.

What else? I really can't think of anything else to write about. My car is on the fritz again - the temperature gauge doesn't work right. Hope it's still under warranty. I may not have to pay my first two months of utilities since there was some kind of screw up in the office. Saves me about $100. Score. Going home this weekend. For those of you in/around the Louisville area, be ready for an ultimate frisbee game on Saturday, starting around 12 noon. Yes, it'll be hot. Yes, we're going to sweat an inordinate amount. Yes, it will be worth it. From what I hear, you've all been very lazy. So be prepared.

I suppose that's about all. I have a co-op lecture here in about ten minutes, so I better get going. Hope everyone is doing well. Messages make the world go round. Happy hump day, and enjoy the rest of the week!

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 12:44:03 GMT

There have been requests that I update this thing and post what it is exactly that I do here at my mundane, 8 hour computer job. So I took a couple of screenshots of my project on which I am currently working, and I have them posted here with a little explanation of each and what I had to do to them. Here we go....

Ok, this is the original standard drawing that shows a capacitor bank (which stores energy in order to help power flow and keep power on in your house when a large draw on current occurs. If you really want to know, ask me. It's easier to explain talking than in type). The capacitor bank is the right most part of the structure. Also shown are (from left to right) switches to isolate the cap bank (when it needs work), a cap switcher (which allows banks to be switched in and out of service and added onto an existing circuit when needed), and a set of CTs (used for protecting the cap bank, so if something goes wrong or it gets too much current or something else the switches can operate and isolate the problem, essentially cutting off power flow to the bank). I had to take this original drawing and edit it, creating 16 different scenarios. There are 8 sizes of cap banks we use, and we needed two drawings of each - one with the CTs in, and one without the CTs. I have an example of each.

This drawing is the biggest cap bank we have without the extra protection of the CTs (there's always protection, but the CTs allow for further measurements and added security). Basically the CTs had to be removed, things needed rearranged to accomodate for the extra room where the CTs were, fonts changed, explanations, and new views created of the bushings and whatnot. Overall, this one wasn't too bad to do. Doing it eight times is a pain, but MicroStation is one pimp program.

This was the biggest pain. I know it doesn't look like a lot was done, but believe me, it took a while. New dimensions were implemented between the equipment, the cables had to be reorganized to reach where they needed to, and overall it just sucked. I did eight more of these.

This was the last part of what I've been doing for the past two weeks. These are station fence standards. I won't post all five of them, but suffice it to say they all pretty much have this much detail, but different requirements and views of each section. This wasn't too terribly hard to do, but there were a lot of little tiny lines that I had to worry about in this drawing.

So that's about it. That's what an electrical engineer working for AEP in Station Projects Engineering: Design Standards does on a daily basis. Kinda lame to stare at a computer screen for eight hours a day, but it pays well so I'm not complaining. At all. I can't tell how those pictures look in this little box, so I'm hoping they come out well enough so you can see a little bit of detail. Sorry if you can't though.

In other news, last night was a blast. I had a great time bowling. My score just got worse and worse as the night progressed, but the company was well worth it. I'm really looking forward to summer with these guys always being around. Everyone have a great weekend, and I'll catch you on the flip side.

LUNCH!!!!!!

Fri, 09 Jun 2006 15:20:27 GMT

Wow. It's nearly been a month. I didn't realize time was passing by so quickly. I'm sitting at my desk in my cubicle eating lunch, so I figured why not update. Things are still going well. It's nice to be back in Ohio overall, though I do miss everyone down south. Going up to campus this weekend (wow it's nice to be able to say that again) for a jaunt with the iCandy group. Ha! http://www2.onu.edu/~z-koehler/icandyindex.html Just read it. You don't have to get it.

Columbus is sweet. My neighbors are a little scary, but I think they'll leave me alone. It perpetually smells like pot outside my door, and cars will drive up in the middle of the night, stay for a couple of minutes, then leave again. Kinda freaks me out. Plus my room is so bright that it's hard to sleep the whole night through, especially when it gets pretty light out at 5:30 in the morning (at least I have a reason for not being able to sleep now...). Work is cool. I'm doing a lot with 3-D drawings and stations. I basically take existing drawings, edit parts of them, and create a standard out of them that will be used system-wide throughout the AEP network for different projects and stations. It's kinda cool to see where these designs come from that I've been working in for the past two co-op terms. Things are finally falling into place and coming full-circle in the educational process of being a co-op.

Got some visitors the other night too. Suzanne and her friend came by for a spell. We watched most of Old School, then my Xbox decided it was a great time to be gay and froze up on us. Twice. So we played Super Mario for a little while and decided we were all very very bad at it. Too bad it was a weeknight. They would be fun to drink with.

Well, that's about it. Nothing really exciting. Plus lunch is about over, so I gotsta pretend I'm working hard. Visitors are always welcome, though I won't get any, and I hope to hang out a lot this summer and fall quarter. You stay classy, dear readers.

Fri, 12 May 2006 14:28:36 GMT

Here I am, sitting at my desk for the last time, wasting time at my last day at work down here in Texas. Tomorrow we're going to Houston to catch an Astros game and tour NASA headquarters - yes, we are nerds. It's funny; as I read through people's xanga sites, I realize how much I've missed while being down here. Makes me wonder if I'm trying to cling to something(s) that was/were never there - some illusion that people I thought I knew...I never really did. It seems like such a waste sometimes. I don't regret my decision to work down here for a minute. I have really enjoyed my time, the weather has been beautiful (and warm!), and Andy has been an awesome roommate and co-worker. I just hope that I'll be more involved and visible when I move back up to Columbus to work. There are times when I get so overwhelmed I'm almost in a state of manic-depression. It's ridiculous. I have nothing to be depressed about, but the separation between me and my friends and family back in Ohio seems to be enough to drive me nuts for a while. I feel so insignificant at times, and yet....I don't know. I guess I'm just being petty and selfish and stupid all at the same time. I just wish I could get out of this funk.

Sorry for the depressing post. I can't wait to be back home. The next 48 hours or so will probably pass by very slowly, and the 23 hour, 1500 mile drive back will most likely be torture. I've settled my apartment in Columbus, so I hope to have at least a couple of visitors this summer to keep me company. They appear to be very nice (thanks Jack) and relatively cheap (I'll pay about $100 out of pocket for it) so I'm excited. I'm looking forward to the fall too, so's I can be back on campus and involved with the BAND again. I'm hoping to have a good impression and impact on drumline this year, though I won't be actually in it. I should have some sort of base relationship set up with it for my return the next year, right? I just hope they'll let me come in and help out where I can. I'm kinda scratching out a cadence, but right now it's going poorly, mostly due to the lack of time I've put into it.

One more thing. Don't click on links that you randomly get from people on your buddy list. If you've been talking to them for a while and knew they were going to send a link, fine. If they offer an explanation that doesn't sound like "Hey check out the pics I just posted of us on Facebook LOL!11!1!!11" then usually it's ok. If the link ends in .exe, .zip, .pif, or anything other than .com, .htm, .html, or other acceptable browser links, then don't click it. Honestly. A little common sense can save you a bunch of headaches. If the link looks odd, but you just don't know, ASK WHAT THE HELL IT IS. If you don't get a response immediately or an acceptable explanation, then it's probably a virus that your buddy clicked like an idiot. I was guilty of it once. I learned my lesson. It took me weeks to finally find a cure for it. If for whatever reason you're the target of a virus, AIMFix will usually cure your ailment. The link is http://jayloden.com/aimfix.htm. If it doesn't, you've got bigger problems. If you're on a Mac, blow me (actually, studies have recently come to light about Mac users having problems with viruses. Legit or not, I don't know. Just what I heard). Anyone else can search for the solution on the internet or just ask me or call your local crappy IT department.

Last thing - hate doing MLA style bibliographies? http://easybib.com/. Will do MLA style for free, and if you join (for a small fee I believe) they will do AMA style and citations if you join and donate, all the usual bull. Anyway, I'm excited to see everyone again and I can't wait to be at graduation. Congrats to the seniors and good luck on finals. See you all soon!
