Skinny white girls
are not the be-all end-all
there's other ways to find humiliation

Kill the Lights, one my new fav adorable bands that need love.
No worries I'm not incredibly emo, the lyric isn't particularly applicable, but it's been stuck in my head quite blissfully for the past month.
Also, the Bomber needs me. Liek sup with that? People reeally don't dance enough at Waterloo. Or go to shows at all. It takes me, a lame straightedge introvert geek, to be the first on the floor?? Common ppl, get with it!
For example, trying to finish a stats assignment.. walking home, and wha? There's a band at the bomber;
Chris Koster and the Lonelies. Pouring their hearts out into the music, and nobody there except a handful of drunk people. So I went in and did my assignment while the band played essentially just for me. (+ no cover charge!) Admittedly, I get mad lameness points for doing homework at a show.
I really "pulled a Biggs" this term, and failed Machine Learning. Miserably. And I loved that course. Why does this keep happening to me? Taking 5 maths was a horrible mistake and it was fabulous. Sadly, this means I can't graduate... yet.
Not that it changes my plans _much_, but I was actually looking forward to being done. Meh!
Oh, and I fail at projects. My hand gesture recognition machine definitely does not work, thankfully the prof gave me an extension, though he's very unhappy about it. Ugh.
But in the end, I will be recognizing hand gestures with a cheap webcam. Which is kinda cool, even if it's a very shoddy job. Next plan is to turn the CSC into a live-room...
Meanwhile, tonight I've got to get my AI-based typing tutor functional and write up a project on it. And maybe also a paper on the problem I started with, which was to try and use probability theory to improve user-level filesystem management. So many nifty projects, so little time! And such beautiful weather! It's been a brutal term but life is looking up :) Thanks everyone for putting up with my desperate whinyness this past month, l0lz... peace!
