Wow, so today I just took probably one of the hardest tests in my academic career. System dynamics test, only the first two chapters, and no calculator. It had definitions, derivations, and problems to answer. So he's fair in that he made the problems in a way that calculators wouldn't be needed, but those problems suck. Problems with x, t, v, theta, and all those variables can bring error to the final answer. Ah well, what's done is done, and I can just hope and pray. It's gonna be a long semester in that class.
Speaking of class, Tuesdays are absolutely shitty. I'm at school from 9:30 to 7:30. That's just retarded and whoever made the schedule should be shot. So yea, this semester is just gonna be shitty all over. It's a very good thing that I found a group of guys to study with day in and day out. Otherwise, I'd be very far behind.
This past weekend was New Years and it was fun as always. The whole family got together and had a huge dinner at the restaurant. Granted, there was a lot of stuff there that I didn't eat, but it's just nice to have the whole family there. And of course, the red envelopes are nice as well.
My 21st birthday is coming up and I just can't believe it. It's just like yesterday I was in high school thinking I was mature enough to handle everything thrown at me. Now I look at high school kids and just think they're immature cocky bastards. Anyways, I'm pretty sure my family is gonna take me to the casino. So it should be a good time. Raymond is gonna be there which is awesome since he's leaving in a month for spring training.
I really want and need a laptop. I want one just because it'd be sweet to have one. I need one cause it'd be convenient especially with the programming course I'm taking. So here's the plan. I returned a TV I got for Christmas for 150 bucks to Circuit City. With the money I got from New Years and money I get on my bday, I should have enough to buy a pretty decent laptop, I think either HP or Gateway. So hopefully everything works out.
OK, prolly tired of hearing about my tennis, but here goes. Our new coach tells me this the other day. "Darren, you can hit the ball as well as anyone here, but you just need to hit a lot of balls and play a lot to minimize your errors." Yea, it's great that I got that input from him. But it's frustrating as hell to hear that again. Every coach I've had has told me the same exact thing. This sounds very arrogant but I think I've put the work in the off season. By working out everyday, hitting as much as I can, being in the best physical shape of my life. Yet, I'm still not where I want to be. And then I see some guys on the team who drink, major in the easiest majors, and half-ass everything and they're ahead of me. That just bothers me a lot. If hard work pays off, then when's my turn? That's the only thing that keeps me driven, knowing that one day my hard work will get me where I want to be. I see Raymond as an inspiration cause he worked very hard and he has accomplished the dream of all dreams. I just want a chance to show some people what I can do. Just one chance.
I've decided that Alex is a homo. HA!
