Feb. 5th, 2002

I got up today at about 10:30. This would have been cool, except for the fact that I had English at 9:00. And Physics at 10:00. Dam. They prolly got our tests back, too. I was up late last night writing a post that no one would see that never got posted. It rather sucks, huh?

Anyways, I more or less got up about then, did the whole morning thing, then went to lunch where I sat with Lauren, Katie C, Sarah, and Jack. Katie was reminiscing about Freshman retreat, and how that's what started our friendship. ^_^ I'm glad she thinks of me as a friend. Jack and I, though, had to be at Calc at 12, though, so we had to leave them. From the time we stepped out of the dining hall, until about 1 when calc was over it - of all things - snowed. And I mean blizzard-esque. The wind all day has been BLOWING! To the point where you can FEEL it slow you down walking against it. It was odd, funny, and cold.

I got back to my room at about 1:00 and did something for the hour before going to work at 2:00. It wasn't nap, either, but I don't know what it was. I think maybe I talked with Oli, but I was in a rather sour mood.

Work was the epitome of useless. I called Michele about the new laptop at the beckoning of Bonnie - of course, Michele wasn't there, and I could have easily told Bonnie nothing had been accomplished in the one day since we last checked with them. Our office computer wouldn't start up, either - it's been like that since Friday. it won't load Windows. Bonnie thinks it's the shared printer. I'm glad to know my job is secure. ::Rolls eyes::

I spent most of those 3 hours working on my computer projects that's due next week sometime. Me and Aaron were supposed to be working on it together on it, but I haven't heard anything from him yet, so I figure "skrew him, he's just slowing me down." I don't mean that in an arrogant condescending way, but I know as much Java as he does (possibly maybe - probably not) and I can do it quicker on my own. I'm usually a team player, but I rather like playing Captain, and I don't like people who won't pull their load.

At 5 I got out, and went home. I need to get to the lab and finish some CAE Tools work. At about 5:45 we went to dinner - well, that's a misnomer. I usually eat with Katie C and Lauren, but I ended up sitting 1/2 way between their group and Jim's group. It wasn't so bad (the girl across from me was cute, and sweet, too. Pretty eyes).

After dinner I think I putzed around the internet, reading Journals, waiting for mail. Claire had to leave early tonight, I successively went off to pout - I've been a little on edge recently is all. I was just about to watch Episode 5 of Trigun when she called me. ^_^ But she called my dorm, and I have a weird thing about talking on the phone infront of people, so I had her call my cell and I went outside. I quickly found that it was still cold and still windy. I spent the majority of that conversation in my car, shielded from the wind - no heater, though, I'd left my keys in my room. Dam. She was 'supposed' to be in bed, so she was trying to stay quiet. It was quite humorous.

I think I've been presenting myself badly recently, in both LiveJournal and e-mail. Maybe it's just me, but I feel I've lost my edge. I'm just generally a wreck, recently, I think. I sent Mel a letter I hope she doesn't hate me for. Leslie sent me a beautiful three line e-mail. The simplicity of it all, I can't thank her enough for that. Rae says she's boring - I still like reading her entries and comments.

And that bring me to now, I suppose. I don't need to get up until nearly noon tomorrow, and that's only if I want lunch before CompSci. I think I'll stay up half the night watching Trigun. And the other half playing random video games. Hopefully I'm coming out of this slump of mine. It'd help if I knew what was causing it... Good night, my friends.

Let me see...I got up this morning at 11:00. This, however, was a good thing, because my only class today was at 1:00. Tuesdays are good. I think I started reading my mail at that 'early' hour, but never got around to replying to any of it. I think I also watched another hour of Trigun, putting me up to the Five Hour mark, Episode 10.

At about 12:30 I went to lunch, and I think I ate alone. it wasn't so bad, but it was the first time in a while I wasn't sitting with SOMEONE. After lunch I meandered over to Pangborn for my CompSci class, and got all my work for CAE Tools (read: AutoCAD) done. We got our Lab 1 reports back (perfect score, thank you very much ^_^) and had another quiz. I was done the quiz first (again), and my teacher was amazed by my speed. I love that class. ^_^ I spent a while after class talking with a group of people from my CompSci class gripe about this teacher or that class, and why we (as CompSci Majors) shouldn't need all these stupid Engineering courses. The girl there later offered to give me her CAE projects, since it was stupid we had to be taking it anyways. I think I'm making more friends among my peers.

I was then late up to work by about 10min, but both my bosses were in a meeting, so no one knew. It was a very uneventful day - we got the second Lap Top in, but I spent most of my time sitting at the desk ironing out the flaws in my Lab 2 project (all on paper, of course - the office computer's still down). Maybe I'm just some kinda weirdo, but seeing all that wonderful code, line after line - it's like a work of art. ^_^* Maybe I've found my calling, ne?

After work I crawled back to my room and read my e-mail again, when all of a sudden, Lauren says they're going to eat. At flipping 5:30! I'm going to be up till 2, that's over 8 hours - by the time I get to bed, I'll be starving! But I go anyways, and spend a long while afterwards talking with Jack. He's a cool guy Sadly, he won't be with us next year cause he'll be heading off to the Seminary in Boston - or was it Baltimore? Either way, it's not here. He's a cool guy - he'll make a good priest (even if he does like his Drink now and again...).

Got back to my room yet AGAIN, and finally got through my mail. One friend is sorry she hasn't been able to talk to me in a while, another friend doesn't hate me even though we're on opposite sides of the fence, and a third friend is getting married. WHAT!? Where'd that come from? I sure wish people would TELL me these sorta things, y'know?

Actually got in a discussion with a friend today, when they pointed out that asking a gay girl to like guys was like someone asking ME to like guys (*cough* Austin *cough*). My response - duh! That's not my point and never was. I rather find it flattering that Austin's taken by me (poor bastard - I'm such a tease), and I can relate more readily to why a girl might be attracted to another girl. I mean, don't get me wrong, I appreciate that quite a number of girls like guys (I'd rather be at a disadvantage otherwise) but that doesn't mean I get them. I have no problem with who you care for, just what you DO, and I have the same standards for everyone on that point, but we won't go there. ^_^

And I guess that's really that, for now. I'll see all you people around later. ^_^
