Well, let's see. I've been feeling really run down t'day. feels like some strange combination of being over-tired and over-emotional. But like I told Mere, it's kinda a good feeling. -shrugs- My plans for tonight are to get my pizza, eat my pizza, maybe watch Momento, The Matrix, or Fellowship of the Ring, and then go to bed.
Trevor's out for the evening... I believe he and Rose are taking advantage of some free hotel offers he gets, or something. -_- I don't worry overly much, as while I may question Rose's sanity I do not question her intelligence. Still, it should be needless to say I don't like the situation, and it can't be a good thing. People will only listen to you to a point.
Today was quite interesting, or hectic, or something. Early class for me today at 10:10. I say early because Mon-Wed my classes start at 11:10 and Tue-Thu they start at 10:35, so it's a relative thing. Anyways, that was my Religion Discussion class, and it was pretty cool. There were 5 or 6 Freshmen in our class, and some 5 Religion Majors (this is a much smaller class than the Lecture). Anyways, we went around and made introductions, I got the typical response when I mentioned our family of 11 (I LIVE fort that, sometimes) and the class really got along well. Infact, the TA said that alot of the time he couldn't get the group to talk on the first day, and he couldn't get us to shut up. -GRINS- I'll enjoy that class, which is good, yes.
Then I had my DiffEQ lab (differential equations lab), which really just consists of using this Graphing Application called MatLab. Anyways, the class had a hugely diverse range of skill. There was my corner with Jim, Fady, Steve, Jeanine, and I (all CS-Majors aside from Jeanine) and then, well, most of the rest of the class. So, while he was explaining how to create variables to the rest of the class, my corner had moved beyond that and found that the LOG function was really using natural log. Infact, Jeanine was having a grand time messing around with directories and giggling, cause she's been using a Unix system for a while now. ^_^ I appreciate that level of geekiness in a girl. 'Specially one as cute as Jeanine.
I had lunch then, with Kevin, and we chatted a bit while I ate some White Pizza -- I have to say, I've never liked Cheese Pizza, but I LIKE that stuff. Then headed back to my room, send a check off for my credit card, and took an Hour-and-a-half nap before my 5:00 class.
The 5:00 Class is Operating Systems, and I've been debating dropping it all week. It's a late-night Friday class that I'm not schedualed to take until Junior Year. If I dropped it, it would mean one 'more' class next year, but my Fridays would be open after 1:00. Anyways, it seemed to be a small class, the main portion of it being Me, Fady, Steve, Jim, Aaron, and Rommel. Alas, it appears as though it's going to be very C-intensive, and I don't 'know' C (Aaron, and likely Louis as well, would argue that if you knoe Java C isn't too far off, but it doesn't change the fact). Anyways, Aaron convinced me to see how well it goes.
Aaron's a really cool guy. I didn't see him at all last semester, which bites, because I would say he's one of my closest friends here at school (kinda tells you how close I am to anyone here, huh?). He was busy with classes, and I was always at work on the weekends, so we never ran into eachother. Anyways, I expect to see him both at DSS for work and in this Friday night class now, and he said he'd help me out with any C I need -- even said he'd let me borrow a book of his on it. Aaron's a cool guy.
Aaron also suggested I kick the Old AIM and get Trillian. What is Trillian, you may ask (unless you're Louis, maybe)? Read the subject line again, and that covers it. No adds, and I can sign onto AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, and IRC with one application! I'm slowly breaking off from AOHell completely, yo.
Anyways, I guess that's about it, and I should get that movie started if I wanna finish it before it gets insanely late. Until next time, my freinds.
