unique

I was at a museum today, and my Granda startin talkin about my grandfather, and how he had a creative mind and strongly believed in hard work. She then said that was passed down to his son, which is my dad. Then I said it was passed down to his son, which is me. Later on, she also told me that my grandfather had a big influence on my dad. Writing this now, I cant help but get teary eyed over the fact that I never had the chance to meet him. My grandma always mentions how proud he would be of me, and what i've become. I feel really special and unique to be the son of the only son my grandma had, and even more that I'm the son of an engineering genius and creative mind. I'm always told how great in math my grandfather was and how he would always see the little things and oddities of certain objects. My dad inherited that from his dad, and I inherited that from my dad. Sometimes, I wish he was here just once so I could see what he was like. Pictures and stories can only go so far in describing a person. When my dad tells me the story of him seeing his dad come down from the sky, I always believe him no matter what anyone says. His bond to his dad was very strong, just as the bond between me and my dad.

update

So, its been a while since I've last blogged. Maybe it was because I didnt have anything to say or I just forgot to do it. The last couple weeks have been busy, tiring, exciting, and all the above. The last couple weeks of the semester are always hectic, and this semester was no different. Getting projects done, making sure grades are correct, and talking to professors to clarify finals information. It's been pretty stressful. To celebrate the end of classes, most of the house went out to Draught Horse then Pub Web. Nothing too outrageous, just celebrating the end of our second to last semester. I forget what we did on Thursday night, but last night definitely made up for not going out at all the last month or so. We went out for Talia's birthday, and let's just say we had a good time...i'll leave it at that. Tonight, we're going ice-skating at the river-rink at Penn's Landing and hopefully I don't fall a lot this time. Then studying all day Sunday, and three more days till my last winter break.
