The Fluid Dynamics exam is tomorrow!

The Professional Topics for Mechanical Engineers homework is still bullshit!

Austin is in town from the East Coast!

Two big quizzes next week, and another homework assignment in Simulation & System Design!

I also wrote a nice, long email to my Grandparents today. I hope they like it.

I've also been reading a little ( Read more... )

Today was slow.

Got up around 7:00 A.M. to feed the cats
Did some simple stuff until around 10:00 A.M. or so; checking email, sending mail, checking emails at my school inbox, and so forth.

Stubbs lost her collar somewhere, so I have to get a new one soon.

I also hung around midtown during the afternoon today, and it seems like I will have to wait ( Read more... )

Today I finished Lord of the Flies.

I was not ready for the last of the chapters. It's damn harrowing.

I also saw the film "Up in the Air" last night. A great film, good humor, but man is it depressing.

So those two things combined have me down a little, but it's that very quality that, in my mind, qualifies them of being good. The way I see it, if ( Read more... )

Another wet and overcast day in the city.
Everything is darkened, dampened, and seemingly depressed. Even the street lamps don't seem as bright as they ought to.
But this season is a boon for the vegetation, and the life it supports, in all its forms.

Cars drive along the wet pavement where the rubber and wet asphalt make it sound like the road has ( Read more... )

I am fine with waking up early whenever I cam jump into a sequence of things to do that run throughout the day. For example, when school is in session:
Wake up
Make the bed
Shower
Shave
Feed the cats
Feed myself
Brush my teeth
Pack up, and head out to school.

But right now? On my break? I scoff whenever my mother says, "Well Dan 6:00 A.M. is when the rest ( Read more... )

Again with having to get up so early.
Just to throw a handful of trash into the garbage can, "Yeah, just take it and lift the lid and throw it in, oh Dan you're so helpful"
She has me pour her a cup of coffee.

In the reality of things it's really not bad, at all, in any way.
But it can feel quite irritating when you're being woken up hours ahead of ( Read more... )

I was awakened veryy early (about 5:45 A.M.) by my mom crutching down the hallway. She says she gets bored and restless in bed just watching TV, and she wanted the newspaper so she could do the word jumble, crossword puzzle, and sudoku. So I'm up, I get the paper, let the cats out, refill the cats' food bowl on the front porch, let the cats back in ( Read more... )

I slept in late again, this time until 12:00 P.M.
Even though I'm not really doing much I still feel tired. Staying warm in bed just feels like the better thing to do.

I'm taking care of my mother right now, so I'm over at her place in College Greens. The plan was to be here until Saturday. But then Saturday turned into Sunday, and now Sunday is ( Read more... )

Today was mellow ( Read more... )

Is it cheating if I make a post today about events that happened yesterday? Perhaps not, so long as I do it consistently. I think I like writing in the morning more than the evening as well. My mind feels less worn, and for some reason I am more inclined to divulge events.

So my cousin Ryan came over early yesterday. I think he's a person that some ( Read more... )
