Happy August 2010

Well it’s the 8th month of 2010.

On August 8th – 14th I’ll be done with Summer Classes at my future Alma Mata.

I’ll get a little break until August 23rd or August 25th. I will then start my last class of my Undergraduate Degree. Then I’ll be all smart and stuff, can’t wait to be smart instead of just a smartass(jsuk I’m still gonna be one of those)
