I haven’t been too active on my blog lately, I appologize but I haven’t really done much.
I did graduate. I had the ceremony on the 15th and now have my degree in a frame 
It’s been nice since I been out of school. I have been bustin’ my little butt on my new website though. I have spent tons of hours on it since I been outta school and had time.
I still have no job but I intend to look for one when I get back from Canada at the end of the month. I leave Monday for Canada. I am attending my best friend’s wedding and I’m his best man. I am so looking forward to seeing him and his fiancee again and seeing them get married. I’ll be back in Georgia on the 31st.
See y’all then…
Well, it’s official, I am graduating tomorrow morning. I had my last final exam last Monday and recieved my final grades for the semester on Wednesday. I made three B’s and one A.
I got an A in senior project and
B’s in Data Structures, Applied Theory and Abstract Algebra.
I am so excited and so happy that I am now a graduate. I went to graduation rehearsal this afternoon. It was alright. We got instructions on how to act and what to do during the ceremony. They are gonna have a huge big projector screen that is going to have us on it when it’s our time for immortality 
I ate some pizza and talked to some friends afterwards before I headed home. So the big day is tomorrow morning at 10am. My parents and all my siblings are gonna be there, their boy/girlfriends and one of my best friends.

Would be cool if for the girls they were called Mistress of Science lol.
My fault actually for falling asleep while doing a take home final exam. Woke up after about an hour and now I’m awake. I laid in bed for about an hour trying to fall asleep, decided that was a waste of time so I finished up the final exam that is due tomorrow. I have to turn that in and then take the inclass part as well. I also have a group presentation due for our senior project in the morning.
Another cool thing, the other day when I was sitting here on my PC, my mom was talking to me and started to play with my hair. It was pretty nice actually, made me feel good. My hair is getting longer. Currently it’s just passing the bottom of my ears. I started growing it out in October/November. It’s just taking so long!
So, tomorrow is the last day of classes for me. I am feeling extatic that it is finally almost over (I hope). I have a final exam on Wednesday and Thursday and then the last one on Monday, the 10th. I don’t have a final for my Senior Project class but we still need to polish up the interface. The two finals I have this week are tough ones, back to back. I so hope I make it through this semester. I am in pretty good shape in all but one class right now.
I had my last regular test last Tuesday in Applied Theory. I had no idea how I did on it until I got it back Thursday. I made a 93 and a 96 on the homework assignment! Those two grades boosted my 75 to an overall average of a 81 in that class. I am so happy! Besides now having a B, it takes a lot of edge off going into the final exam.
The class I am a little concerned about is my Data Structures class. The class isn’t really that hard but the professor is a dick when it comes to testing. I have never done well in any of his classes. He has this messed up grading system with a curve so my 71 that I have in the class is probably a B but it depends on what the other student’s grades are. It is bascially based on “rank”. I am ranked number 4 out of 12 in the class, so that is actually not very bad at all, even with a 71. I am still worried cause I’d rather have a good solid passing grade then rely on a curve to pass.
Other then that, I have not been up to much. I been spending time with my mom a lot. I do like hanging out with her (it also doesn’t cost me any money, which is good, because I’m broke). I so need to find a job very, very shortly. I have nearly $0 in the bank. I think I have enough to cover one more round of credit card bills then I’ll be completely broke. I can’t even really start working till June though. I have a wedding in Canada at the end of the month to attend and graduation the previous week.
I have also been putting a lot of time into my new website. I decided to trash the design I had started with and went with a new one and new colors. I am actually really pleased with what I came up with! I think for once, eringurrl.com will remain unchanged for a LONG time since I think for once I am completely happy with the presentation and layout. I have never been happy with my website since day one. That is why it has over gone 3 major overhauls since I started it back on Geocities over a year ago. I’ve decided to remove a few of the “features” I was going to incorporate into the new site. Not because I am lazy to do them but I feel I don’t need some of them anymore. One such “feature” is the guestbook. It will be gone in the redesign since it hardly gets any use.
Well I’m out for now, keep in touch, I’ll be back soon…. I promise!
I can’t take it anymore, school is getting to me. I have that “senioritis” like majorly now. I don’t want to go to class, I don’t want to do homework but I have to, I can’t slack off. I been tremendously busy this past week and it won’t end. Only a week and a half to go and it’s crunch time. I got homework up the ass to catch-up on and new homework to complete, a couple of tests next week and then finals the following week.
School status: passing all classes, one or two classes are borderline though in the C range. I am not sure though cause one of them the professor does a whacked out curve on so I am not really sure what I’ll end up with. If I don’t make it through one or more of these classes I’m gonna be so disappointed and quite angry. Not angry at myself because I put temendous effort into school this semester, tons of hours of studying and homework and I don’t even have a job so I would have even more time. I’ll be pissed cause I’ll be screwed by a professor and his/her shitty ass grading and ridiculously retarded testing methods. I only hope I make it through.
Btw, this all means that I won’t be online much in the next couple of weeks, won’t be checking email as often but those of you who have my phone number are welcome to call and chat/catch-up. Bye for now, Erin.
The past couple of days have been so nice! Temperatures near 90 and slight breeze, my kind of weather. I have been really busy this week with school and working on my redesign on my website. It is going to be a long time still before I get it all done but one of the new area’s is going to deal with my transition and hrt specifically. I am still working out the details of that area how I want it done and presented.]
Anyway, my mom took me out shopping yesterday. It was really cool. We spent the afternoon together, had lunch and she bought me a new belt, shoes and jeans. I bought myself another pair of shoes as well since I didn’t want her spending so much money. It was all guy stuff though. The jeans I got though I really do like. They are from the GAP, low-rise guy jeans They look pretty good and I really like the color. My waist size has shrunk to a 30 in mens. I have never been a 30 before, I used to wear a 32 in highschool and before I dropped the pounds I was fitting tight into a 34. My leg is like a 31 or 32.
Today my mom and I went to a charity hockey game that was sponsoring children with autism. It was Canada vs. United States and my dad’s boss (GM of the company) plays on the Canada team. I am not into hockey at all. I don’t like it but I went to keep my mom company because she wanted to go. Canada won, 3-2, so that was cool.
Not much else to report, except that I got homework to do and studying for a test I have tomorrow. Classes are winding down! Last day of class is like in 2 weeks and graduation in less then a month! I am so excited.
Since Saturday I have been sort of cold towards my mom especially. I haven’t been talking to her much or hanging around her like I have been. The others in my family didn’t matter. I never hung out or talked to them anyway so no change there. Today I actually have said more to her then just “hello” and “good night”. I know she noticed but I wasn’t gonna let that remark/comment go without some consequences. I still haven’t put up my pictures yet. I don’t think I will except for a couple of my friends and I and my graduation picture. All others are remaining down.
Other then that, I’m doing okay. I got my Abstract test back today and got an 89 on it. I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t get the A I wanted although I should be happy with that grade either way.
Also, my spring break is coming up next week. Guess what I am gonna do? I’m actually gonna get out and take a little vacation for once during the break. I’m going up to Washington D.C. to see one of my best friends for the week. I know I am gonna have such a good time. I am really happy about going, and looking forward to seeing her and the city. I think seeing the capital would be fun as well
My name is Erin. I was not always named Erin and I was not always a girl. One could argue that I am not a girl, perhaps a boy or both; maybe neither.
