Day 103, Day 102, Day 101, Day 100, Day 99, Day 98

Wow it's been almost a week since I posted something but fear not I have photos for each day since last Tuesday. Last Thursday happen to be day 100, another sweet milestone. Here we go

Today, my dad, brother, and I went to the hospital simulation lab my dad runs. This lab has a crying baby that can be programmed to show a variety of 6-month old baby symptoms or be completely well. The mannequin here with my brother comes with a flaccid penis. LAWL

Yesterday was Bearstock 2011, the annual all day music festival put on by Mercer University's Quad Works. It was also Mount de Sales Prom 2011 my sister's senior prom. Here she is with her date, notorious Jewish junior Seth Hirsch

I found this at work in the building connecting to mine. If you're ever feeling stressed just enter the stress relief and all your troubles will go away. 

For Day 100 of Project 365  I present the inside of a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy one of the largest military aircraft in the world. 

Wednesday was the Alpha Gamma Delta Wing Jam presented by the lovely sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta, Gamma Iota chapter at Mercer University. Five dollars for a plate of 7 wings and other foods went to the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation. Inspire the woman and impact the world ladies.

Tuesday I saw this new Caterpillar Inc. Backhoe and other machines in front of my building. They were unused, untouched, and so beautiful to look at in the early morning.

Day 97, Day 96

I saw this news article today at work. What is wrong with the people in our society? These two need to have their 8th amendment right waived and be subjected to the cruelest and most unusual punishment decided on by the people of Houston County. The crime they did the lowest of the low. 

I bought 3 games for under $100.00 at Gamestop: Call of Duty: Black Ops, Mario Galaxy 2, and Zelda Twilight Princess. They had a 3-day deal where you could buy 3 pre-owned games and get the cheapest one for free. I also got a PowerUp Rewards membership from Gamestop. It was a day of winning.

Day 95

Today, some of my high school and camp friends went back to Trinity Woods to do some cleanup before summer camp starts. Here we're all painting the girls' bathroom a nice sky blue getting it ready for the pretty rainbows, grass, and trees that will be painted over it. 

Day 94, Day 93

Today, 2 of my fraternity brothers and their dates stopped by my house on the way to formal at St. Simon's Island. We talked, played some piano, and had some of my sister's chocolate chip cookies with oreo crumbs. Yes I am really the shortest one among them. 

I was organizing a cabinet filled with Tyvek suits, gloves, and filters and I found a suit size 4XL. How does someone fit to walk and to work get this big? What's scarier is that there are larger suit sizes.

Day 92

I went to lecture at Mercer University today called "Tocqueville's relevance today: individualism and soft despotism." There were some humorous parts and I understand some of the themes and lessons but after going to a heavily based science and engineering school my interests in the social sciences this deep have just tanked. At least it provided me something to do. 

Day 91

The storm Monday night caused blackouts in the area and so my sister's friend Mary Frances and Mary's brother Sam came over to our house for a while to use the internet and to get homework done. As you can see both Mary and Sam were happy to be in my photo of the day. 

Day 91

Oh yah another full 30 days of photos. Today I was cleaning out my inbox and I came across this Groupon for pole dancing lessons. I guess it's all done by region and not really a certain interest. I should have chosen this one for last Monday's picture but at least I caught it before deleting it. 

Day 90, Day 89, Day 88

A picture of the Mercer Newman Catholic Ministries + 1 Georgia Tech student at the Honey Creek Conference Center. We all went on an amazing retreat with other Diocese of Savannah college students. It was a great weekend of confessions, adorations, masses, talks, food, and new friends.

After waking up and showering I saw this car covered in Saran-wrap. It's the first time I've ever seen this prank done. 

Friday for lunch my mom bought me a McDonald's Fillet O'Fish. It tastes better than it looks. With it being Lent still I can't eat meat or poultry on Fridays.

Day 87

I know it's not the most attractive or interesting picture but the mosquitoes are coming out finally. It also means that my 365 is still strong and starting into the spring.

Day 86

This whole week my little sister and other people from my old high school are on spring break in Italy. Part of this trip involved being in a broadcast papal audience in St. Peter's Square amidst thousands of other people from every part of the world. She is so lucky.

Day 85, Day 84, Day 83, Day 82, Day 81

I haven't been doing a good job with posting each day but I do have pictures for the last 4 days and today

Today, at Jittery Joe's I hung out with my friend Caleb Morton as usual. He was working on his English paper while sporting his new hipster glasses.

On Monday I didn't feel like going to CrossFit or doing anything for that matter. Instead I ordered 2 spicy chicken sandwiches at Chick-fil-a and ate both of them that afternoon. Then I took a much needed 7 hour nap.

Sunday, I bought some new toilet paper and my little brother caught something funny on the labels. I really hope that I can flush down the toilet paper that I'm buying. I guess we have to point it out to the stupid people.

Saturday was the wedding of Stephen Kump and Katie Lawrence. Stephen was, among many things, the leader of my bible study last spring. He is a Theta Xi brother and his new wife is an Alpha Chi Omega. It's so amazing how just less than a year ago he was only talking about dating Katie. I pray God blesses them with years of a happy marriage.

Friday my coworkers and I went to "Momma Goldberg's" restaurant for lunch for the first time in about 2 months. Here Greg and Stephen show how their happiness and joy by eating one of Momma's famous nachos

Day 80

Today while driving to ultimate frisbee, I saw all of this smoke coming from the south east. Then an ambulance came driving by in the opposite direction most likely to Coliseum Northside Hospital. I hope everyone is alive and is being taken care of. 

Day 79

Today at work, as the youngest worker and individual with the lowest pay grade, I received every engineering co-op's dream: BRAND NEW DUAL MONITORS

Day 78

Today, I got on facebook and something caught my eye. Now I know that this is still common and that it happens a lot in this big world but I think it's rare that it happens to an old acquaintance who shared a music teacher with me during high school. I read it and I knew immediately that it was my picture for today. Names and pictures blocked in red to protect their identities. Oh and my facebook language is in Pirate. 

Day 77

Today, I took out the family pet Alex for a walk. Weather was in the 80s with a nice breeze so much warmer than it has been. I was getting impatient so I we sprinted home which made him thirsty and hyper. Sorry but looking adorable and desperate behind those diamonds won't help you.

Day 76, Day 75, and Day 74

Today I felt like doing this trippy, weird picture of screen shots within screen shots of my desktop. My desktop background is really a grinning face made of different CrossFit equipment. 

 Saturday a couple of us from Mercer Newman Catholic Ministries (NCM) went to Savannah, Georgia and attended daily mass - on that day the Solemnity of St. Joseph - at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. We also had lunch at Clary's, toured River Street, and almost went to the Tybee Island. 

Friday night before the Savannah day trip was spent playing Texas Hold'em. We didn't bet any real money but just played for kicks and giggles.

Day 73

Today, my dad's new iPad 2 came in. He was already using it and had everything from his old one imported into it when I got home. This one is lighter, thinner, faster, and has FaceTime among other new features. 

Day 72

Today, I had Lean 101 training in a separate building on base and I came across a chair for the handicapped that travels upstairs. It makes me wonder how many of these are installed on base. I would've ridden it if it was working.

Day 71

Today I got haircut 2 of 2011. Now maybe people at work will think I'm at least 18 instead of 16 or 17. 

Day 70

Today is 03.14.2011 which means it's PI DAY!!! To celebrate this day instead of making us pies Howard at North Macon CrossFit created the "Happy π Day" WOD which consists of 7 different types of exercises done 14 times each for 3 rounds. It sucked. 

Day 69

It's Day "69" lolwut...Today my little sister's friend found something unique in her goldfish: two goldfishes locked together and forever in the act of doing it. I lawled and I knew that this had to be my picture of the day. Thanks Mary Frances

Day 68

I was walking the dog and I looked up and saw the colors and leaves coming from this one tree. Another sign that spring is 9 days away.

Day 67

In the methods of CPI (continuous process improvement) there are many tools an Industrial Engineer will encounter throughout his or her career. One tool is an A3, an 11" by 17" sheet of paper with 8 or 9 blocks used to solve process problems. Being the witty and Techy IE co-op that I am, I made an A3 consisting of all the inside jokes and humor between my fun co-workers and I. Take note, not many can understand the complex processes we strive to improve.

Day 66

Today, my little sister made some lemon pound cake. They are for her boyfriend. Even though I'm not much of a lemon person, they were delicious.

Day 65 and Day 64

In my never-ending quest to eat better and to not end up like many American adults, I ordered the "Eat this not that diet" book for a cheaper price on amazon than what I saw at Barnes and Noble. I hope I follow it well. 

I saw some ramen noodles at Kroger and yes this stuff is cheap and bad for you. Other than being almost a third of fat calories it has over 1000 mg of sodium which is half of what you need in a day. That makes me cringe.

Day 63

Today was special in all things meat. In the morning someone brought in some smoked sausages of mild, medium, and hot flavors. For lunch we all got a treat with some delicious roasted ham. I saved my pre-made sandwich for tomorrow and had a protein rich lunch. Yum.

Day 62 and Day 61

My Mercer friends are really an awesome bunch. I'm always welcome at Tom's house which is in my neighborhood. They're all going on a cruise which I was invited to, but it was too short notice to tell my boss. So while they're off in the Caribbean, I'll be working and waiting for them to get back.

Saturday night we had another fire going despite some drizzle. Eventually it got really bad so we all went inside. My jacket still smells like a camp fire. 

With everyone on the cruise, Courtney asked me to keep her Betta Fish, Diels some company in case he passes. According to Courtney, Diels is either constipated, depressed or both. He's named after the Diels-Alder reaction in organic chemistry. 

Day 60

Sweet. Another month of keeping up with Project 365. Today the Lean Team and I went to Chick-fil-a for lunch and got a visit from the cow. It knows how to pose in a picture better than Greg. 

Day 59

Today my squadron at work had a breakfast for this man Scott Warner, a fellow industrial engineer. He has been in the Commodities Maintenance Group (CMXG) since the mid-80s after college and now it's time for him to move on. Goodbye Scott. It's been great working with you for the short time I've been at Robins, so God speed to you over at SMXG. 

Day 58

Again I lead such an interesting life that I have too many pictures from which to choose - not. However whilst outside walking the dog I saw weeds on our front lawn at the base of a lamppost. Spring is in the air!

Day 57

On the way to the dermatologist's office I wondered if I would be doing anything fun for Spring Break 2011, or however many days I could get off. The answer was very straightforward and disappointing. 

Day 56

Today has been a boring day. The only event of note was this email I got on my Georgia Tech account. It made me laugh and I think it's strange that they don't have me on record as co-oping for the federal government already.

Days 55, 54, and 53

I went up to Atlanta Friday afternoon and I returned back to Macon at around 9pm on Sunday. I didn't bring my laptop so I'm just uploading pictures now. 

Today they demolished the Roosevelt Building, a complex across from North Avenue Apartments at Georgia Tech. There was a facebook event from 7am to 10am and people put up videos of the destruction so I was still able to see it. Now all that remains is a pile of twisted concrete and debris waiting to be taken cleaned up. 

Saturday was the 5th annual Georgia Tech Pre-Health conference presented by AMSA. I attended 3 workshops and I was able to meet various schools and reps from M.D., D.O., and other programs. The people in white coats here were the cool D.O.s from the Georgia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Suwanee, Georgia. They were giving demonstrations on the blue Osteopathic Bed 

Friday some friends came over to my parent's condo where I was staying and we played several rounds of Apples to Apples. It's a fun game I haven't played since last August.
