Why isn't the hangman's noose in the Boy Scout handbook? It's a knot.

The next few days are going to be work-class-work-eat-work-sleep-work.

I have comics, I swear, I'm just too damn tired to get them right now.

Right: Journal-y entry.

Apparently I'm a statistician now? I mean, aside from the fact that I hate statistics, and always expected to be some kind of English Grad student hermit living in the gardens behind the professor's houses. When my psych advisor heard that I was (or soon will be) a CS minor, he offered me a position in his lab. They do a lot of statistical tests there, and since that's mostly what it is, the hours are flexible and you can work from home a lot of the time.

I'm not kidding, this will be great for my resumé, it'll be a great letter of recommendation, and I'm really looking forward to doing this. I'm just not sure I can actually....you know... do it. I'm already planning to take 6 classes next semester- I'm not sure if I can handle working in a lab as well. But I need this, I really do.

The hacking class didn't show up on the syllabus, so it's game design by default. Hopefully it'll be there in the spring, so I won't worry too much. I really like the professor for game design, and he's still young enough not to hate joy (unlike the stereotypical British mathematics teacher I had last semester who couldn't even work a pull-down projector screen, let alone his own laptop. "What a stupid machine!" was a phrase I heard daily).

I'm even taking Acting I next year to finish off the last of my general area requirements. I've already taken acting in high school- enough so that I know to skip intro to theater unless I hate joy- but I'm wondering if I'm actually trying to kill myself next semester. I mean, programming + multiple english courses + statistics lab + acting = me googling "hangman's knot," but due to the shitty editing of Wikipedia, getting a sheet bend instead.

I mean seriously, who the fuck still uses a sheet bend anymore?
