update

i finally finished the localization midterm late tuesday night...and then in class yesterday, the prof gave us ANOTHER project that looks pretty time-consuming. he's not very popular right now. more than half the class is going to the American Translators Association (ATA) conference in Seattle next week, including him, so how about not giving us homework, or at least giving us until a week after we get back to turn it in. grrr.

so yeah, i'll be gone from Wed the 9th to Sun morning the 13th. i'm looking forward to it; it will be a great chance to network and make some contacts so i can get some freelance work after i graduate. hopefully i'll be taken more seriously this year, since i'm about to graduate in May and haven't JUST started my program, which is how it was last year (or so it seemed to me).

braden has noted that he got me DDR a few days ago, and that has been very fun to play. aside from story mode, that is. story mode was pretty lame...toad's solution to everything was, "dance, Mario, dance your way out of trouble!" one of the dance routines was WHILE mario and toad are sledding down a mountain trying to outrun an avalanche. yeah, b/c it's so easy to dance and sled at the same time. :)

a bunch of us old married couples with no kids are going out tomorrow night. we may play miniature golf or go out to eat or both. nobody's really sure what we're doing yet. but it should be fun, since we've only done something with herman and anna (herman's a 1st yr in my program).

gotta get back to work!
