Goodness looking at the list makes me realize that I'm more fortunate than I often think. This break has been and is still very enjoyable. Although I'm dreading the idea of going back to school I'm going to try to make the best of the remaining vacation. Happy Holidays everyone!

So 9 weeks of school are now over with (1/4 of the way there!) Took four mid-terms in the past two days. Two A's so far and the other two test grades haven't been posted online. Hopefully they'll be up before too long. I'm a little irritated we haven't received our class ranks yet. Normally the school hands those out within the first couple weeks but the new system they installed screwed their database up.

This weekend shouldn't be too busy actually since there were tests in every class. I do have a couple things to do that are school related but it's not as bad as it normally is.

I'm plan on making 2 mix CDS before Monday comes around. I'm actually experimenting with CD Cover Art but I'm not sure what kind of paper I should use to print the art on. I'd like it to resemble an actual CD Booklet but I haven't seen paper that remotely resembles it in stores. I read Kinkos does decent printing so I'm debating whether or not I should try that out. Suggestions are welcome!

Alright so I recently maxed out my 4GB iPod Nano (which is a bit of a bummer. Not sure if I should upgrade to a 16GB iPod Nano for $199 or a 16GB Touch for $299). Since I'm not able to upload anymore songs onto my music player, I've been listening to some newly released singles on my computer. Here's some of favorites:

Human (The Killers) - It's synth pop at its core but I think the beats are hooky enough to warrant repeated listens. I actually prefer it over Viva la Vida but that's probably a result of listening to Coldplay's single too often.

Light On (David Cook) - I have to admit I'm a little let down by Cook's first single off his album. While I'm glad they haven't manufactured him into a pop act I actually wish it were a little less arena rock. It's certainly catchy but I think Archuleta's single suited him more than Cook's. (and what's up with the cover? He looks ill at ease to me)

Elevator (Pu$$ycat Dolls) - First off, don't shoot me. Maybe it's just my peculiar music taste but I find this song rather appealing (the fact that it's sung by strippers...I mean a girl group might've influenced my opinion). It's one of the better tracks off their new album in my opinion.

I'm Ready (Jack's Mannequin) - Ok I lied...not all the tracks are very recent but it's one of my favorite songs off Everything In Transit and I listen to it constantly. It's catchy all the while being self-aware that it's a mainstream pop/rock.

Forever Young (Youth Group) - Another slightly older song, I find this version superior to the campy original. I also am a fan of The OC (RIP) and when it was played on the show I instantly knew I'd like it.

That might've been my most off topic post yet but I felt like updating the blog. I should try to be more active on the site but as the saying goes "so much to do, so little time to make lemonade."
