Leopard Install Issues
After attempting to install Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) my computer has me locked out of my own user profile. I have managed to recover the encrypted data but I restore my user account. This leaves me without a useful computer :(

Getting Out of Debt
I have decided to take drastic measures in order to relieve myself of credit card debt once and for all. I read the book "The Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey and it really inspired me to do something about my debt. The final motivator came in my last credit card statement where somehow my APR has been raised to 78.65%. I can't believe that is even legal. So as of today I have paid off two of my credit cards and am paying nearly $450.00/month on the remaining card. Needless to say I will never be using credit cards again!

Systems Engineering II
I am happy to say that I have passed this course. The topics covered were very interesting and will definitely help me in the future with a systems engineering position.

Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis
Over Thanksgiving many of you know that I was in a lot of pain and could hardly walk. I had been to the emergency room twice and to a dermatologist to find out the cause of my pain. After 2 blood tests and a biopsy the doctors concluded that my immune system is suffering from a condition called Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis. This condition was a result of my body over reacting to virus that I had obtained before Thanksgiving. I am expected to overcome the conditions but as of today I am still seeing signs that I am not yet over it.
