Well, I'm home for the holiday break. It's good to be through with exams, even though I didn't do all that wonderfully. I have one class grade back, from PreCalc (C-). That isn't so good - it means to stay level as far as a GPA goes, I have to get A's in my other classes and maybe one B. The problem there is that one of my classes (Game Design) kicked my ass in a major way. I think the teacher is cutting me some slack because it wasn't all me just goofing off - the program we were using disliked me as well. There were also other people in a similar situation. I think my other classes are A-/A range (except for possibly Austro German, which is closer to a mid B). So hopefully it works out, and my overall GPA stays the same, or at least close. I hate having to worry about things like this.

Other than that, the end of the semester was rather uneventful. I really didn't stress that much over exams, which I'm glad for. The two girls who I'm pretty positive have romantic interest in me are both going to Prague over J-Term, so I don't really have to worry about that. Ugh, I feel like such a bastard for basically ignoring that. I really don't know what to do though. I have great talent at digging myself into huge holes when I try to explain things that have personal significance to people (ie, my roomie and I were tossing a girl around, and I was like "It's easier with someone smaller" and then I was like, "Shit she's going to think I said she's fat" - so I said, "Nothing against you - you're perfectly average." She didn't appreciate that, and has been ragging on me about it ever since. The bad part is that she has a wonderful body, and is actually very attractive. However, in her past, she had a boyfriend type who was like "You need to lose weight" while she looked close to what she does now. Therefore she's rather sensitive about comments like I made. Now she brings it up, and I do my best to explain it, and just dig the hole deeper. Ugh.

Since I have no presents for my mom for Christmas, I told her that I would revamp her computer (which has been uber slow of late). I have a new graphics card that I'm not using which will help the machine a lot, and I have a copy of Vista Business (the new version of Windows that just came out). Those combined should boost that machine a lot (especially since I have to wipe the hard drive to install the new version of Windows). Maybe I'll pick up some RAM for it as well. I dunno. It's going to be a fun project though :)

So that's the update - it's the start of a boring vacation ('cept for the fact that my best friend from high school is coming to visit! w00t!!!).
