The Twisted Wiles of the Overlord have engulfed me...
I suppose it's not even worth pretending that peer pressure doesn't affect even the most vigilant... damn. So, Carmen IMs me and says "you really should get a LiveJournal." And, not to look like I bend to people's wishes... but I did.
I place the probability that I will keep this up-to-date in the lowest quartile, but it's worth a shot -- it can't be all bad, sharing my most intimate thoughts with people I don't even know.
But comments can be fun, and I can stop using the dumb "Anonymous" when I respond to other people's entries. So life goes... now with the good ol' LiveJournal attached at the hip.
Right.
So what's new? Everything. I got into RPI - my dream school. (That's Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for all you out there who aren't in the loop) I received an email from the coach today, congratulating me and flaunting the fact that the entire team is going to St. Croix for a week in the beginning of January. How unfair. They sit and bask in the glory of sun, while me and my ghostly-white self sit and sulk at the USC pool.
Life is not fair.
But it's break, I can sleep in. And that's all that really matters anyway, right?
Tomorrow I get to do what I've been looking forward to for a long time -- set up for my programming course. I know, I know, it looks like the most dorky over-the-top thing to do, but I say I enjoy teaching people, even if my patience isn't as long as it should be, and my speech is a little over warp speed. It will be a fun semester. Me, four people, 5 computers, an IDE, a compiler... and FUN. Woo! (That is MINE)
I draw this all to a close with a fond farewell and a hopeful wish that I'll post again soon. Y'all remind me, now.
That is all.
