Turning Wheels for Kids - Great Success!!

Thanks to Tony and Jin for coming out and helping at Turning Wheels for Kids!  It was a huge success!  We built 1800 bikes in 4 hours!!!!

Tony and Jin did most of the work... All I did was pump some tires up, take out the trash, haul the unassembled bikes over, etc.  (I really just chatted it up with some cuties over in the other section... but hey keep that on the DL).

I'm a little strapped for cash, and it was well worth the time spent there.

Things to do before the year ends:
- Donate my super precious Blood, cuz I'm Universally loved!  What's up O positive!
- Volunteer Work over at Turning Wheels for Kids (aka pick up on chicks)
- Update my blogs
- Go snowboarding
- Get started on my Master's Project due next semester
- Finish painting my new pad
- Move into my new pad

I'm almost half way done.... too bad there is only 2 more weeks in December eh?  Not sure I can fit snowboarding in... since I'm flat broke.

BTW:  I'm starting a new donation organization called... "Send Brandon Snowboarding".  If you would like to donate, you can paypal me or drop me a couple of bucks (you'll see me begging downtown... let me know if you have a good spot!).

Turning Wheels for Kids

Turning Wheels for Kids is an organization (http://www.turningwheelsforkids.org/) that buys bikes to give to needy children and teenagers. Volunteers build the bikes, so it's a good way to contribute to the holiday spirit. It's especially good, if you're short on cash (like me).

So being the smart guy that I am... I hang out with some college friends, and drink coffee of all things! Now I'm so wired, I can't fall asleep. Uggh... sometimes I gotta wonder what I'm thinking. Social Coffee drinking... please drink responsibly! Hahahah.

School's over... yet it's not over! Arghh.... the suffering

So the Fall school semester is finally over! Yay! But... next semester is when my Master's Project is due, so I need to work on it over vacation.

I'm still happy that the semester is over, but I'm getting tired of working on school and work at the same time. I cannot wait to finish up getting my Master's degree in Computer Engineering. Hopefully I get a nice fat raise after receiving my degree!

Snowboarding season is here too! Yay! Although it has yet to snow... booo!

This year just seems to be so paradoxical in nature. I mean things keep happening that make me happy and sad at the same time....
