I'm back~
So I mostly sat around and studied the whole vacation. Which doesn't mean I'm set for classes, either. -.- But at least I'm not as screwed as I was before, at least in thermo. Yeah, I actually understand mass flow and heat transfer now. So I just need to study cycles and pieces of cycles now and maybe I'll be okay. Tomorrow I'm gonna study TAM and do the homework for that I think, and then all day Sunday will be ECE, considering two assignments are due Monday. I have to study TAM for the test on Monday too though...(I can't believe they're giving us a test the FIRST day we start classes again! -.-) Oh yeah, and I have thermo homework too, but that shouldn't be too hard. The homework is never very hard, it's the exams that are a bitch.
Anyway...so even though I was studying most of the time, vacation was pretty relaxing because I didn't do actual homework, so it wasn't frantic at all. I had some really weird dreams though...I kinda hate it when my dreams show me what I really want, because they're a perfect simulation of what could happen, but they're not reality.
It's cold in here...I had the temperature set way down for over break since I wasn't here, but it's taking forever to warm up again. Maybe I should just go to sleep. It's after midnight anyway. And nobody's on aim to talk to...I was hoping to get home and be able to talk to people, but I guess everybody's still off on vacation still. Tomorrow I'm gonna try to get up not too late and go off to the library or somewhere to get stuff done. Probably the library, since it's like a whole long block closer than the union, and it's cold out now. I left 40 to 50 degree temperatures here to get to 60 to 70 degree temperatures in Arizona, and then when I come back, it's like 30 degrees out here. It went from fall to winter practically overnight, complete with icy snow. I was slipping just a little on the walk home from the train station tonight. I guess that will make me appreciate Arizona more when I go back for Christmas break.
Which reminds me, I need to find something for my mom, and some other people too.
Everyone on my friends page seems to have done some sort of list of stuff they're thankful for this week, so I'll do that now too, since I couldn't during the week. Let's see...
-my mother, of course, who's given me general encouragement the whole time.
-my father, who tries to convince me that I'm smart. Sometimes it works.
-friends, who have been there to have fun with or even just to listen. ^_^
-UIUC and fun classes! (or not so fun, but after this semester they will be...)
-not to sound weird or anything, but my faith, which gives me hope at odd moments.
