To Austin, not DeviantArt. Don't worry, I won't abandon you guys any time soon. The semester is winding down, final project deadlines are beginning to rear their ugly heads, and I am completely finished with my study abroad paperwork. I just need to get on the right plane on the right day.

My replacement hard drive came in last week. In this time I redownloaded pretty much everything I had on my 'box that wasn't save data. In Dragon Age, I recreated my character (sans beard) and got about ten hours into his quest, and went through all five other origin stories. Besides all that data lost, no real harm done. Except, you know, losing countless hours of save data.

For the first time in my educational career, I want to graduate and start working. Capstone and Theories of Rhetoric & Composition are the culprits here. My Capstone, aka senior thesis, is about the embargo on Cuba. To say nothing of the politics, the project demands two interviews with people who know a fair amount about the subject. The catch is that, depending on your professor, these interviews have to be face-to-face. I have one of those professors. Austin, Texas is not the most Cuban city in America. Long story short, I couldn't find anybody who could talk to me.

At least the class is almost done. I should be working on the PowerPoint for my oral presentation right now, but I wanted to let all you folks know about my 360's hard drive.
