this post brought to you courtesy of ece435 and the number lol
god damn it i had to pull another all nighter in the stupid stacks (i.e. eschool computer lab/den of despair for those of you not in the know). fuck. i just now finished my lab which took like 10 hours and i honestly have no idea why it works. as far as i can tell it shouldn't but then it does, i think. except i'm pretty sure i didnt change anything between it not working and it working. and i have a 930 class so i cant go to sleep and hence this update. shitass.
basically this semester consists of me having decently good classes which occasionally shaft me in hilarious ways. namely ece435. i also humorously skipped the one day of Defense Against Dark Arts (specifically viruses-and-worms dark arts, but still such a sweet name) where he told us we were having a test next time, so i got a pop test when i showed up on tuesday. thank god we get to drop a test in that class because i literally got a 28/100 on an average 80 curve. lololol as ted would say. but spanky who also skipped that day got a 26 so nyah nyah to him. my research with the neuroscience dept is cool but i am still just a lackey mostly. i am taking too many credits to accomodate the job/wushu/dive/astro stuff i've done in the past, so the job and astro bit the dust totally and the other two are suffering. sad :(
some of the most fun i've had this semester has been travelling, namely to kelly's farewell party, to see george in pittsburgh, and up to UMD for lauren's birthday. all of those events were quite rockin and i hope to repeat them and keep seeing everbody. highlights were beating chris and george at magic while drunk off my ass, and meeting ian and all of lauren's friends, and seeing erin and lauren and george and kelly of course. in related news we got a /totally/ sweet house for next year. it is unique and huge and just basically the best we could possibly have hoped for. so you all have to come and visit and we can have a party! (pants party?) odds are good i'll be in cville for the summer, as i basically have three lab jobs + one other job any of which i could choose to take on. i'm really thinking about grad school at this point, probably even up to phd. top choices are mostly west coast schools...but we'll see. that wasn't tangental at all...
next sem i may be taking only two large normal classes, then three small seminar/research thingees plus random shit. sweet! one of the seminars is more like a research group that the professor (my advisor) actually recruited me for (as in he came to me not i to him) which made me feel pretty good. there are also medium odds of me being on the collegiate wushu team, meaning i get to go and compete in the spring. oi... my wuhsu is getting better though, i finished another form with my private instructor which means only one more until weapons, and i've also started working on tai chi. also randomly tonight at dive practice i did a 2 1/2 which makes me think i dont entirely suck at that nowadays. wow, actually today was me being aweosme up until the ece lab kicked my sorry ass. damn.
joe and i are still together (for those of you who i reaaally havent talked to in awhile). we live on the same floor of the same building but see each other sadly inoften in spite of that. this is probably the hardest semester of college class-wise for both of us so i guess its not surprising, but its still frustrating sometimes.
mkay well i feel somewhat less grumpy now. off to get food. god damn all nighters. if i havent seen you in awhile, uva has week off for thanksgiving so let me know what you're up to...
in conclusion, damn you e-school.
