Well, it's been a while since I updated last. I've been super busy with school and work. I had a birthday on Monday and it was cool. We went to dinner at Carraba's and I opened some presents. (I'm at school right now so I'll update with pictures later.) Anyway, here's how my classes are going:
First class - ECE238: Not too bad, I'm getting used to the binary/decimal/octal/hexadecimal conversions now and our first lab assignment is next week. It's tough but I don't think I'll have too many problems passing the course.
Second class - Spanish 302: On Tuesday, my teacher pulled me out of class and told me my spanish was "impeccable". He also said that I wouldn't get anything out of the class and that my grammar was "perfect". He told me that I didn't have to come to class and instead of going to class, I'm going to read a few books written in classic sixteenth century spanish and write a couple essays on them. Not too bad.
Third class: CS261: This is probably my hardest class this semester, Discrete Mathematical Structures. It's basically a math class that deals with really abstract topics and it gets pretty confusing. What's worse, I ordered the book for this class on January 10 and it still hasn't arrived! My first homework assignment is due this coming Tuesday (January 31) and I haven't even started yet! Well, today I went to my teacher's office hour and he lent me his book. I took it to the library and photocopied the section the homework is over and I have to give my teacher his book back in class today. Hopefully my book gets here soon!
Forth class: Geology 101: Easy class. I have it only once a week but the drawback is that it starts at 6:00pm Tuesdays until 8:30pm so I'm at school pretty much all day on Tuesdays (11 hours!). The class doesn't seem too hard. We have weekly reading assignments, two online quizzes over the reading assignments every week, and like two in class quizzes a week.
On a somewhat related note, I got an invitation to some dessert night/awards ceremony in February because I guess I'm on the Dean's list or Honor Roll or something like that. The invitation looked pretty nice and it said it was a ticketed event and that I could bring one guest. (Jenny, of course!)
Well, I have a class that starts pretty soon so I'll leave it at that. When I get home later today, I'll try to put some pics up.

thanks for the update. Cool about the spanish. Cory did the same thing with his German. You RM's really have it easy......and I'm sure the marriage has helped in that area too.
Later,
The best part about the whole foreign language thing is ... GPA padding!
Jenny, you look gorgeous! And Jared, your schedule sounds CRAZY! I hope you had a fabulous birthday. I love you so much!
