a year down the road

So, I glanced at the bookmarks toolbar at the top of my browser and noticed, to my dismay, that I had, in error, named my blog "yo soy pensando" instead of "yo estoy pensando." *sigh* Now that I have noticed, I am unsure if I will be able to edit that part of my not-oft-visited blog.

My second observation was that it had been exactly one year since I had last written. A lot has happened in that last year, but in a nutshell:
-wrapped up a summer as an Avanti,
-completed another school year,
-continued work as an accounting intern at the university press,
-led Alabama Crew as the club president,
-won a medal in the men's heavyweight 500m dash at TIRC in January,
-worked as an accounting tutor with the athletic department,
-won a medal in the men's varsity heavyweight 8+ at the John Hunter Regatta in April,
-celebrated my 21st birthday,
-competed in the first men's varsity heavyweight 8+ fielded by Alabama Crew at SIRA,
-passed my last accounting class,
-celebrated my ONE YEAR wedding anniversary (!!!),
-visited Paris for one week with my wife,
-studied abroad in Spain for one month,
-adopted a kitten,
-volunteered as an ESL tutor with Stephanie,
-and baked many dozens of yummy chocolate chip cookies. :)

Now, en siete de julio de 2009, estoy en una clase de financia y voy a trabajar mas con la universidad en contabilidad. Voy a graduarme en diciembre si todas mis clases estaran bien, y despues, trabajare en Birmingham con una compania de contabilidad. Para mi, tengo solamente siete clases mas antes de graduacion en el fin del ano. Estoy emocionado para mi graduacion, pero no quiero andar en la ceremonia, porque es un poco absurdo y no voy a recibir mi diploma durantela y es mas o menos caro. No me gusta.

Right now, I am tinkering with my laptop a little, attempting to get a Linux flavor dual-booted with the default Windows XP Pro that has been on there since I received it back at the beginning of my freshman year back in 2006. Hard to believe that it has already been three years since then. Before studying abroad, I purchased an Acer netbook, which, after further inspection, I noticed has the same processing power as my '06 Dell Latitude D820 and twice the harddrive space, but is less than half the physical size. It was a boon to have during the five weeks abroad. I have Windows XP Pro on the netbook, too, as well as Linux4one, a Linux distro specifically designed for the Acer Aspire one netbook, which has been a lot of fun to use and work with little by little.
