welcome baaack

kweli..I feel how mase felt to get back in the game!(much as i hate the catchy nursery rhyme-soudning track..)
Sadly I suck at multi tasking, and this week, last week and next week I'm knee deep in exams..and i havent been able to kep to my usually(?) consistent blogging habit.(for some LUCKY reason i get to be stressed earlier this year wohoo) final papers and presentations all tighly bound into this explosive potent mix that almost seems like its meant to make a nigga go absolutely bananas..

I'm holding up thus far..by the skin of my teeth albeit. I feel so much more of an apprentice entrepreneur than an engineer this sem. last week alone i feel like ive done an MBA three times over or so - perfecting my skills in time-pressured commnication(sending bits and peices of assignment over msn hehe),gracefully but subtly yeilding to highly unproductive group members, handling mass amount of paper and electrnic documents, surviving on noodles and mchele for like a week, leadership through delegation (basically sold my project idea to a friend), meeting with industry folk and begining to fret over how soon u'll be in their place(they didnt seem like a veyr excited bunch - and they were in a game development studio!).

On the flip side..some rather pleasant moments were had lasst week too..I aced on of my midterms that i wasnt expecting too..one of those nice surpises like going to the bathroom in a restaurant and coming back to find the food you ordered waiting for u..wierd analogy i know. I got to be regarderd as the 'superstar for this course' this week, despite the fact that i can only attend 33.3% of all classes(i have another course the same time).

Additionally i got what u might call a rather sexy return on my investment on a new computer this week. This has been a moment i have waited long and patiently for...and my mkebe of a dell desktop has not made it an enjoyable wait either - nonetheless the rugged DELL 2100 celeron 855mhz has served me well for he past three years..he's a retired general now..he willl become my dedicated slightly overcapable tenge...
When i laid my eyes on this hottie right out the box...why lie I got a hard on.
This sleek white Mac OSX powered thing is a gem. If this is what it feels like to be cool, i aint going back! she's is incredibly easy to use, and just a delight to look at. Steve Jobs jobs is not paying lip service marketing this coolness factor - this is value for money, however skewed my value system is. SO far this week she has been on my lap all day everyday hehe..

I once blogged about those annoying ipod kids on my campus grounds in the early days of VI, who'd have thought i would turn into them so soon???

B4 I forget, take a look at the kenyan blog-ring link on the blogs of interest at the sidebar..The goal is to introduce Kenya to this phenomenon..slowly but surely...
Yu can play your part right here..but this is another inherent beauty of blog-comunities..U can contribute , here, there everywhere. Communities , just like relationships, are built through willful contribution alone. Whats your role in the community? everyday u get a chance to define it!

Let me get some rest and hopefully I'll make it through this and next week alive.
Hope u are all being productive in whichever corner of the world u are in..

one love.
