Bellingham, Washington

Where even the snow is really just another type of rain.

Someone is WRONG on the Internet.

Actually a lot of people.  Specifically, today is not St. Patrick's Day.  I knew this on Saturday (the actual St. Patrick's Day), but apparently no one else knows it even today.  Even Google got it wrong, which I find amusing.  Half the people I know only find out when it's a holiday because of the Google logo changes.  Alright, maybe that's just me, half of the time.

I'm wearing green regardless (though not intentionally), but I don't have time to drink lots of green beer because of finals.  Boo.

Mwrrrr

I kind of miss the blogging I used to do. I was looking through archives today, and my life was a lot more interesting/fun before I started going to western. I write terribly, but there are a lot of memories in these archives. I used to be so candid and energetic. I wonder when that stopped. Or if I can potentially bring it back :o

I've been unhappy for a really long time, but I really need to quit being a big fat whiner :P There's got to be things I can talk about besides how much I hate school.

The other thing I got from browsing archives is this:

To all of you people in LA that I haven't seen in years, I miss you guys SOOOOO much. Much love.

Confession:

I secretly really really hate almost all math puns. Some puns are okay with me, and even amuse me. Math puns are not among them.

School is not totally unbearable this quarter after all, I just need to stop getting owned by unix. I have like 3 days to get the next assignment done, and that might not be enough at the rate I work. I've decided my real problem is less procrastination and more inefficiency. When I am doing homework, I'm never 100% doing homework unless it's due VERY SOON YES MUST FINISH NOW. Usually I'd say I'm about 10% doing homework and 90% brain elsewhere. Like blogging.

I wish I knew how to make that number go up.

Sleep is amazing.

I will never be a morning person, but lately I've been going to bed around 10 and waking up (gasp) before or around 8 am. It's really nice to wake up in the morning, but not to an annoying sound that repeats over and over until you want to smash it with a hammer. Breakfast is also Really Nice.

It also kind of helps me get stuff done during the day. Sort of.

Hi guys, long time no see

Things are much the same as always. I'm doing semi-badly in school, I'm vaguely angsty about living out my life as an old maid, and I still have no idea what I'm actually going to do with these degrees that I'm getting. I have little to no interest in web programming and little to no skill with programming in anything but scheme and C variants. As of yet, I also have little to no skill in circuit design and analysis. I'm hoping the next 2 years of electronics classes will change that.

School really, really blows. I want to just get married and say screw it all. Maybe I'll drop out of college and join knitting clubs and take cooking lessons. I just don't feel like I'm really suzie homemaker type either. Bleh.

I could get A's if I cared enough. If I do that though, I will have to entirely sacrifice my social life. I'm not talking about my "social life" as in my free time to game, though I would have to sacrifice that too. I'm talking about hanging out with people and going places on the weekends and having fun. Someone tell me what to do.

Life is pain, Highness.

Anyone who says differently is selling something.

I'm doing enough coding this quarter that I figure I might actually be learning something. However, I've come to believe that sleep is a myth propagated by those irrationally idealistic hipster liberals. They're out to get me, but I have thwarted them with caffeine and techno.

More seriously, I know that I'm kind of putting my body and mind through the ringer here by repeatedly staying up through the night to finish things, but sometimes it has to be done. This is the first quarter I've ever had to do it so much so early, is all.

I just want to curl up and sleep for a week, but I also want to pass my classes, and these two desires are incompatible. :(
