Hello, I guess you want to know about me. Well...here
goes.
My full name is Jason Dean Hartsell. If you have ever
talked to me online my AIM name is Purdueguy7. If you haven't
you'll have to look me up sometime...I'm on there all the time.
Ok...now that we have general introductions out of the way now
to the more pertinent stuff.
I'm a junior majoring in Political Science/Pre-law at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. I'm
also thinking about adding a second major, psychology, for the
simple fact that I'm going to be 3 credit hours short of graduating
in the standard 8 semesters...so what the heck...might as well
switch my psychology minor to a major and make that extra semester
actually worth something! I should study more than what I do...but
I do OK...maybe some day I'll decide to become studious and get
my butt in gear...
I have a wonderful girlfriend...we've been together
since June 1, 1999. She goes to Purdue too. You can check her
out by viewing her page: Amanda's
Page.
This year I decided that I would live with Amanda and
my friend Wes. We live in a great apartment in Lafayette. The
apartment is practically brand new...so it feels good to know
that there has not been a couple hundred people living here before
me. It's also a heck of a lot better than the project that I lived
in last year, for legal reasons I won't mention their name, but
if you were ever there you know what I'm talking about!
This past year I got a crazy idea to join the Indiana
National Guard. So, as a result I spent pretty much my entire
summer at Fort Benning, GA. For those of you that have never spent
more than a couple of days in southern Georgia in the middle of
the summer...it is HOT. Every day is was near or over 100, with
95%+ humidity. To top it all off I didn't even get a tan since
you are never outside in short sleeves past 0630 (6:30 am for
you non-military folks). So far I have some mixed emotions about
my decisions...if I had to put a positive to neutral to negative
ratio it would be 50:30:20. It was a pretty neat experience that
let me do some things that "normal" people never get
a chance to do or experience, i.e. Machine guns on full auto,
night vision, C4. I'll probably put a basic training link up eventually...but
for now I have to get the rest of this page working.
I also just built a new computer...my old laptop just
wasn't cutting it anymore. Check out the differences here. It was my first time building a computer...I
didn't have any MAJOR problems during assembly...just a bad motherboard
and my spending 3 days working out a power on problem to have
it just be a wire connected wrong. From now on everything gets
double checked.
