okay. maybe I'll follow in christy's steps and update. i mean, actually I have updated before, but have been a dumbbutt and closed out of safari early. silly. I promise I won't do that this time!
anywho. yes, life in Kimball is nice. It's such a pretty dorm, as dorms go. I'm getting...no, have gotten, a little sick of the food, but I think I've finally accepted that I'll just be sick of it for a while. I should start thinking of how the heck to teach a group of people how to crochet too. That might be interesting. Ummm...Christy came to visit! That was exciting! It was a nice excuse for me to get out of Stanford campus! That was tres happy!
Ummm. Classes. Because that's my life. The Strength of Materials class is ridiculous. In terms of, we don't have enough time for all the material the prof wants to cover, and. It's silly. Boo. Whatever. Ummmm...Greek is nice! It's fun! A little confusing, and I keep on forgetting silly things. But that's what learning is about! And I'm taking it credit/no credit hehe. Even tho she seems to be the kind of person who just grades on participation/effort. Man. Language stuff is so fun. Sometimes I wonder what would've happened had I pursued that a little more. Not just Spanish or Greek. Maybe something like German. I dunno. Dynamic Systems/ODE's on crack is okay. We have some "lab" due on Monday that's basically mathematically modeling a system of our choice. And I think they want us to do it in groups, but I'm not really that familiar with people in that class. And if it's just modelling, that's easy enough to do on my own. Psh. But if it's something besides the modelling, like, building something, well. I might need a little help with that. Maybe I'll just turn in the math part, and see if they yell at me :) I mean. Come on. It's math. I actually went to office hours for that class last week, and I'm ashamed to admit it. I was stuck on like, the 2nd problem, and I had to simplify this icky square root thing, and I couldn't see how I could simplify it. Frustrating, because it's easy algebra, right? But I couldn't see it! So I went in and asked hey, am I setting this up wrong? And they said no. And I went home, and saw that I made a stupid stupid simplification mistake early on. Then I was embarassed. Boo.
Oh and Heat Transfer. It's so interesting! But. Sometimes I think it's not clicking. Like. I get it. But I still get really confused. And then I start thinking, omg it's not clicking, how the heck am I going to become a heat transfer person if I can't even get this class down pat. But then I'm like, well this is supposed to be a hard class, blah blah blah. But then I'm like, well it could be that you just don't have much engineering sense, which sometimes is true, but I've been trying to train it into me to substitute the math-intensive stuff. But. What if it doesn't work? And I'm just a stupid engineer? Well. Then I'll just go straight to the MBA. Hehehe. But yeah. I'm starting to get scared. I also have to track down my advisor-person-to-be to get him to sign my declaring paper. He doesn't respond to emails :-\ Who the heck does that.
Hmmm. I've been feeling like, so chill this quarter. In terms of, I don't particularly feel the need to go out and get drunk and party with people and loud music. Not even just frat parties, but like, other parties. Like, I'd rather just sit around and talk. Maybe have a drink or two. But still. I don't know. Maybe I'm lazy or something. But yeah, I feel kind of weird because that's pretty much what everyone else here likes to do. And while I admit I have had fun doing that in the past, I'm not quite in the mood recently. Does that mean I'm getting old and boring? Like, I can't even see me going out on my 21st birthday, buying cases of alcohol and getting ridiculously smashed. The thought just makes me sick to my stomach. Maybe also because I'm a lightweight now and I'm deathly afraid of hangovers.
Oooh oooh oooh! Okay, so I've been on a shopping spree recently. Which is bad, but after this last purchase I think i'll stop for a bit. So, it all started when me and christy went to SF and went shopping :) And then I got back and ordered a short black peacoat from JCrew. And then I bought black pants and a cute black sweater top from Express. And now. I've gone and bought an iPod nano! EEEEEEEEE! It shipped today! EEEEEEEEE! Exciting! It's sad that my old iTrip won't work with this. But I'll figure something out. Eeee! If I'm lucky it'll get here tomorrow. Otherwise, I dunno if FedEx delivers here on Saturdays. So I might get it Monday. Eeeeee! Eeeee! New toys!
Anywho. I'm babbling. And I really have so much work to be doing. I have a 2nd Strength of Materials midterm tomorrow. And a monster lab report for Heat Transfer is due tomorrow. And I have to track down this professor. And I have a project proposal due on Monday, and this math modelling thing due Tuesday with a problem set, and a problem set on wednesday and a lab/prelab on Wednesday too? And and and and. Gah! Crazy! Okay, I'm going to go get this day started, I'm being sluggish because I think I figure if I hide from everything, it'll go away :-\ which it won't. sigh. Anywho. That's my boring life! How's yours? :-D
