Hurk!

"So when are you graduating now? 2009?"
"Yes. Yes, that has always been the plan, because of EET."
"oh."

So yes. I have a plan. Sort of.

I be indiana jones! If you facebook, Lyz posted some picatures. She makes a hot pirate wench.

I'm losing all motivation to go to astronomy class. Got a 93 ish on my japanese midterm. Go me.

Homework, sleep, school, work, kickassery, and occasionally food. That's about all.

Does that make me crazy?

I'm pretty sure I'm going to declare a second major in CS. I will finish as much of it as I possibly can before financial aid stops supporting me. Then I will try to find another way to pay for it, and if I can't pay for it somehow, I will.... break down and cry? I don't know, I haven't figured that part out yet.

And if, a year and a half from now, I decide I would just rather be a CS major, I will still be able to finish just my CS degree in the same amount of time that it would take me to finish just my EET degree.

yarr.

I are slacktastic!

But... I have cute hair. I haven't been really pleased with a haircut in quite some time, but I like this one rather a lot.

Teh intarwebs are slow tonight, but that's okay because I shouldn't be on them anyway. I have relativity and astronomy to do. At least I finished my japanese hw at school today.

Aaaaand, Gizmo is now kneading my butt. Lovely.

There's no solution.

Google docs apparently still hasn't figured out the titles posting to blogger thing yet. I am disappointed in them. Also, I have been listening to FAR TOO MUCH Sum 41.

I have 100.8% in my astronomy class. Apparently I only got a 95% on the first midterm. I'm very disappointed in myself. The average grade is an 82. I'm extremely dissappointed in my classmates.

Good night.

So I finally got my prox card for the Comm building today. I should have gotten it this time last year. So I came up to the CS lab on the 4th floor to see sharon, and.... prox card doesn't work. I don't even know if it works for the front door. This whole thing makes me very angry.

Yesterday kind of sucked. I only got 1/5 problems done on my relativity homework tuesday night before giving up and finishing my japanese. Then I crashed, with the intention of getting up later and working more... instead I slept through my 9 am Japanese class, thereby not getting to turn in the japanese homework I had done and not getting the homework assignment that was due today. Then I went to class with my 1/5th of a homework assignment and decided it would be more worth it to turn in a full assignment for half credit than 1/5th of an assignment for *maybe* 25% credit, depending on how she graded it.

But then I went to the physics study room and finished another 2 problems on the assignment and then went over to sharon's and had sushi, and that made a lot of things better. Then I got up and pwned my japanese quiz this morning, then went to go pick up my prox card and couldn't, because I didn't have my ID. Then I came back to the study room and finished the last 2 problems and came up to 405 to get fudz and saw sharon, who gave me my purse which I had left at her house. So then I went back to pick up my prox card and came back to discover that it was failure in a box. So now I'm tired, and I have to go to my martial arts class and then go to work and then go to a differenter martial arts class. *phew*

My lungs hurt.

E = M C Hammer head shark bait, hook, line, and sinkers, floaters, and hunters stalk their pray before every meal worms in my apple a day keeps the doctor Livingston I presume.

My voice is still pretty gone, but I think I may actually be getting better :)

Except tonight I have another huge relativity assignment to do, because I'm a slacker and I never do them when they're assigned, so I'll probably end up staying up all night again and making it just as bad again. I think I suck at life.

I mounted my speakers on the wall today, completely spontaneously. It looks a little funny because of the cables, but it sounds fantastic. I wish the cables were long enough that I could put them up higher and farther apart, but such is life.

Kittens are not very good at learning the word "no." They already know when they're doing something they shouldn't, they just do it anyway.

Now I'm going to call my sister to get her to tell me the name of a song that I can't remember the name of, and then finish my homework. Yarr.

I feel this is a good time to mention that I think the february 15th priority filing deadline for the fafsa is one of the stupider things in the entire financial aid system. I think having a deadline is a good thing. I think having a february 15th priority filing deadline is a good thing. What I don't like is the fact that if you have two students who are identical in all ways except that one filed on the 15th and one on the 16th, the first will have priority for everything. Regardless of when those two students turn in anything else that they might be required to submit. That bothers me.

Really I just hate the fact that people in the financial aid office have a tendency to say things like "oh, they're Not Met? eh. They need to just deal with it, they should have turned in the fafsa earlier" when people have a problem.

I am ill! I am tired of being ill already, and it hasn't even been a week. Even kittens don't magically make it better :(

I really want google to fix the thing that should send titles when it posts writely docs to blogs. Because even though blogger and writely are both now google services, I like working with writely and then publishing to blogger rather than just using blogger. Call me crazy.

I did not sleep well last night. It was too hard to breathe. So I'm calling in sick to work again. -.-

I'm fairly certain if I went, my boss would send me home. Since I'm home now, I would really rather not spend the hour or so getting to campus and back.

So I've been vaguely looking into finding an engineering-type internship in either LA or the bay area. Recently I've been looking more at the bay area, because if I did that I would be pretty much right in silicon valley, and I'd still be within visiting distance of LA. Cisco has an opening :)

Writely has now become Google Docs and Spreadsheets. I think I'm scared.

I'm also confused as to why my 1:30 AM brain is much better at pontificating about the principle of relativity than my 2:30 PM brain. Or my 4:00 PM brain... or 5:30... or 8:00... or 10:30...

We are given a week in which to work on the homework for this class. The first week, one night was quite sufficient. This week, it has become apparent that I will have to actually start the relativity homework very early in the week... and force myself to actually do it.

Now if you'll pardon me, I have 4.5 more problems to do (started with 6), and only 6.5 hours to do it in. I'm not sure I'll make it, but I refuse to not finish this assignment.

Also, someone gave me the Black Death. Not sure who, but it's inconvenient tonight. I kicked the kittens out of my room because I think they were making it much much worse. I think they mess with my immune system.

And now to see if the conversion to full google-itude has improved or... deproved... the writely awesomenosity.

I went to talk to julie the super-secretary today about the lockshop stupidity, and she didn't have any sort of answer for me there, but we did get into a long conversation about why I'm not a CS major and whether or not I should be. We determined pretty conclusively that double majoring would be hell and financial aid wouldn't cover it, and I'm definitely going to stay in the EET program. I figure I'll just keep taking as many CS classes as I want and they'll let me (over and above the CS minor), until I graduate.

Then we started talking about senior projects, and let me just say that Julie is incredibly super. She was getting all excited about me wanting to mix aspects of CS into my senior project for EET, and talking about how awesome it would be if I were to do something wickedly cool...

Which means now I have to think of something really wickedly cool for my senior project.

I'm in the CS 164 labs and I just heard Dan say "I'm one of those ancient programmers you hear about who never took Ada." He sounded very impressed with his seniority. It's kind of disturbing.

First things first: Writely is pretty much my hero.

And on: I think I've learned how to do homework. Which to me is ten times as important as learning to study, because I can always pass a test without studying... I can't always pass a class without doing the homework. Plus, supposedly doing the homework leaves you prepared for the test anyway.

Life could be more awesome, but I've discovered that I really don't mind sitting at home doing my homework for several hours.

Today I told lunch date boy that I wasn't really interested in dating right now. This is mostly true. It's true in the sense that I really don't want to date right now. It's not true in the sense that if The Guy came along and seemed interested, I'd probably be willing to try again. Lunch date boy is not The Guy. I'm pretty certain The Guy doesn't exist, so I'm safe.

Homeworks and Works

I want writely to figure out how to send a subject heading when updating blogs.

I talked to the cute neighbor boy on the bus today. This was just after I ran into a large pole while running to catch said bus. I didn't hit it very hard and it was very amusing, but I'm kind of tired of that being a Brooke sort of thing to do. Le sigh.

My schedule is now much the same as it was during the summer. I'm on campus either from 8 to 4:30 or 9 to 4:30, though occasionally 8 to 2 or 9 to 3:30 instead. Which is helpful I guess.

I already have much homeworks, but it's not overwhelming and easy to stay on top of. And hopefully once I'm in the habit of staying on top of it there will be no issues and I will get a 4.0 this quarter!
