This break has turned out to be quite full so far!  Looking back, I can label each week or half week of it: a week of rest, a week of family, a half-week of friends, about a week of math... and now about one week to go, but which will probably be labeled "job searching."

Last week I actually got to see some friends again!  Lizzy came over for New ( Read more... )

Yup, that's what today was!  Jing spent the summer taking classes, so she's only in town for half a week.  Because of this,

At last, I'm finished with this class!  It was enjoyable to a good enough extent, but after 2 weeks of over-the-top sleep deprivation and reading, I'm ready to be through with this and on to the semester.  The final went alright, I think; it was pretty short, other than the take home essay portion, so that was nice, too.

Another nice thing: we only ( Read more... )

Today I had the day off from work since New Year's is one of the few days of the year that we're closed.  I woke up a bit late since my mom and I stayed up watching an (amazing) episode of Lynley last night.  After that, I got together with Jing, Rachel, and Katie D.  We played a bunch of Mario Galaxy and the flash version of Portal and in general ( Read more... )

Today has been a long, weary day.  I got up at a decent time to go to work, then work took up the biggest chunk of my day.  For some reason it felt particularly tough today; I really hope these next two days will be (or feel better).  The store was really busy with holiday-time shoppers; I was only waiting for a customer once over my whole shift.  ( Read more... )

It's been a crazy couple of days.  Friday was very interesting, composed of Lizzy following me around all day and attending all my classes (except physics).  She actually found them quite interesting, which is a bit of a relief since she was sort of jumping in the middle of random topics in all of them.  Dr. Yeager even played the video from the ( Read more... )

Today was never destined to be a normal day, I suppose, but I managed to live through it well enough.  I woke up early to study for my discrete test, sold buckeyes, did other homework, went to class, took my test.  On the test was one problem that some people already know about (if not everyone reading this)... and it seems that

I submitted a program yesterday, it's true.  It is also true, however, that the next program had a due date of next Monday evening - yet another cramp to the weekend's schedule.  Wonderfully enough, that programming assignment got pushed back... and is now due Friday evening.  I hear it takes a while, but the several extra days' grace may well ( Read more... )

So say, hypothetically, that some friend just happened to be wanting to visit for a weekend and drove up to spend the weekend on campus.  Where would such a person park, and are there any other loose ends (like letting someone know you have someone staying in your room for a day or two ( Read more... )

Today was a bit rough.  I still haven't recovered from barely sleeping last Friday night, so I've been rather tired.  Tired I can handle, though.  It's when being tired makes thinking darn near impossible that it gets in the way.  I had a couple simple chapters of physics to read (think units, vectors, acceleration) and I was having trouble getting ( Read more... )
