why hello internet...
i think i am a lot happier than i was when i posted in this regularly...but not that happy. i went back and read a bunch of random stuff i wrote in here. i guess i should export it or something so i can look back when i am old and laugh and laugh...
or cry.
something i wrote about in like 2005 came true! the really horrible one! yay!
so anyway. i made an entry. w00t
if for some reason you're reading the older stuff there might seem to be big gaps in here. i made a bunch of stuff about someone private. i don't remember when. i'm not gonna go back and fix it cause...well...i don't care? but anyway sometimes i may address a previous entry that isn't actually viewable...deal.
shine on you crazy packets.

did benny delete the comment i made? that's weird.
i got in a snowball fight with an exchange student named Sri today. he didn't really know what a snowball was and why it was fun to fight with them so I showed him. he lost pretty badly but he seemed to be having fun. we then proceeded to throw icicles at stuff. it was a pretty good time but we almost hit some girl when she came out of the Civil Engineering building and she was pretty pissed.
i miss the winters in new hampshire when i was a kid since when school got cancelled it meant you could do whatever you want all day. i want to go sledding but I have a project meeting at 1. It's for my Comp Sci class and we just found out that we might have been wrong about something the whole time we were writing the paper. which explains why we couldn't get the last thing to work but it also means we have to come up with a new presentation by Finals which are 10 days away.
Alec might be fixing my car so he can drive it to Florida. I'd pay him back for most of it but he'll be footing the initial bill.
alec has big feets.
If I lived in a post-apocalyptic retro-future and a dog started following me around and fighting my enemies...
i'd be okay with it. as long as i had a super sledge.

it's livejournal!!
damn, i haven't written in this in a while but I was checking out Benny's journal and I figured I'd be in on the (old)newest community ever!
We were doing the Halting Problem today in Automata theory. The standard proof for non-computability involved Cantor's Diagonalization argument. Doesn't the machine you generate from this need an infinite set of rules since it contains infinitely many Turing Machines? What's the deal?
I can't wait to go home for x-mouse!
this is a pretty lame return-entry. but i am at work...

so thanks to the OURE program I guess I might be getting a small grant(like $1000) to do some research over the summer....
now if i only had something to research.
we're having our first A-Calc 2 test Friday and I can't really seem to study for it. I just don't really know what out of the Topology stuff will be useful for any of the proofs he might give us.
Except of course for the n-dimensional Heine-Borel theorem and the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem.
I want a Theorem named after me!
screw the Levine-O'Sullivan Algorithm. what kind of idiot wants an algorithm named after them.
seriously.
i am bored
i hate couples.
i need to go to sleep. eventually.

| finals finally finished |
[16 Dec 2005|04:16pm] |
|
so yeah.
with the help of aderol, coffe and some good old fashioned know-how my finals are competely done.
now just waiting for the results to come in.
this semester was weird all in all. my grades aren't really all that they should be but i'm not exactly sure what the problem was. I guess I might've relaxed this semester or wasn't focusing on school for some reason.
still. not failing anything. could possibly pull at least a B in everything(via a miracle A on my Advanced Calculus test). I'm taking less courses next semester(and a literature one...buttah) so I should improve.
I'm just getting ready to pack it up and get headed northward for the chilly holidays.
cider and nog here I come.
and maybe a Nintendo DS.
if santa loves me.
later packets

i'm stuck in the lab right now studying for my A-calc test...which is in 1hour and 15minutes
I've been reading the same definitions over and over again that they're starting to mean nothing.
i should go to the gas station and get more coffee...it's raining. i want to go to bread co. and get some food but it's too damn expensive.
i used to eat there a lot.
i have homework due tommorrow in Numerical Meth and I don't know what it is...
eh, this is just a diversion.

You're Avante Garde Indie. You listen to abstract
music like free-jazz and Krautrock. You drink
too much coffee and you scare the fuck out of
the rest of us. We're afraid to call you
pretentious because we know that we all just
don't get it. There are few of you out there,
and most of you will probably die soon.
You Know Yer Indie. Let's Sub-Categorize.

i like taking this thing every once in a while...i seem to do it anyway so i guess i like it.
i don't like the materialism score...it has questions like "i would not be happy if i had less money". well, shit i can't even pay the rent with the money i have now. would anyone be happy getting kicked out of their house?

"They argued with God the way you argue with somebody who's so close to you that you love so much, that you can really fight. You know how the more you love someone, the more you can get angry with them, and when you have a reconciliation, the more close you become than ever. Something like that happens in the course of this piece."
Leonard Bernstein, commentary on Kaddish
i read this on the back of the CD i'm entering into the classical music database at work. it's a pretty good symphony(Kaddish). i hope bernstein knows what he's talking about.
this thing is weird.

| halloween halloween...that's when she gets so mean |
[31 Oct 2005|08:45pm] |

c'mon baby, scream!
so i'm listening to : Halloween Hootenanny.
It's a surf/psychobilly/punk album i bought the first time i went to UMR. I had some big plans for a Logan's Run halloween costume extravaganza but a bunch of stuff fell through. I don't think Steph would wear a light green dress and a crystal on her hand if i asked her to. Scott is working so he can't be a Sandman. Alec is just an idiot. I don't have any money for a costume.
I had to take a loan out today from the UMR financial aid office. I might have to put my car payment on my credit card. I got a 70 on my physics test today. There's no one around to hang out with.
Still all in all I guess I feel okay. I'm getting the money i need. I'm straightening out most of my classes. Linear Algebra still sucks. I need a little bit of money but not much.
I still wish Steph wanted to hang out. I wonder what she's going to do now that she's graduating early. we never talk any more.
I'm gonna go do some Advanced Calculus homework and listen to more psychobilly surf creepiness. I want some coffee.

6. One time Glen Fulcher and I stayed awake for 6 days...we played a lot of Nintendo and ended up getting lost up the block from my house. we both don't remember falling asleep but we were writing the hours down on a piece of paper so we know how long we were awake.

| more talk in the AM |
[09 Oct 2005|10:08pm] |

hey hey hey
it's your wacky morning DJ!
except it's night time-
so your wacky morning DJ isn't that wacky anymore.
i wonder what happens to those guys once their time slot is over and they hand the show over to Arnie Giff and the Eye in the Sky for lunchtime traffic reports and
the news.
So I might get kicked out of my Linear Algebra class because I got this academic warning thing i kind of just ignored. apparently there's a bunch of stuff you need to do within a certain time frame other than simply talk to the professor. Which I did, and he failed to mention anything else i was supposed to be doing.
Our sink has been broken for a while so the dishes are a real pain in the ass to do. on the plus side it also means it's someone else's turn to do the dishes since i did them by draining the water into a bucket. so that's like X3 doing the dishes.
i was feeling the need for an update but don't really have much else to say.

| first week |
[26 Aug 2005|03:11pm] |

So the first week of class is over...
Weird to be back in the general school atomosphere. What's even weirder is, at least for the first week, I don't have work(like a job, not no school-work) so I have an ass load of free time. I've been bumming around and doing some extra studying and whatnot.
Being back home is going okay. It was a little rough when I first got back but now I think everything has settled down.
I've been getting to hang out with Steph again which is excellent. We're not tied together at the hip so much anymore and I hope I haven't been annoying her as much. I missed you, babe.
I need to develop a system of doing homework because I have like 20 minutes of work left on all my assignments but it's so spread out I can't figure out which ones to finish up. The professors keep extending the due dates so nothing is really due right after the weekend anymore, but I need to finish at least one assignment. I also need to get more organized. I was feeling out about how much notebook space each class would take and in the interim I've been using my notebook from second semester. It's around a year old so I'm finding some weird things I wrote/were written in it. I feel a lot different from even that short of a time ago. Not sure what that means but it's a feeling that's been kicking around since I noticed the age of the notebook at Denny's.
Eh, not sure what I'm going to do but I kinda want to get out off my couch. later interweb

i just ordered a new mouse and keyboard from newegg. there were two different colors for the mouse and one was 1 dollar cheaper and had 6 dollars less shipping...wtf?
these last two nights that i haven't had to work have convinced me i'm slowly going insane. i want it to be later and for me to have done something but i don't want to actually DO anything. i wonder what will happen when i'm done with my book.
i don't know why i sit there in silence listening for something to remind me people are around, i don't know why i try to imagine what you're doing. it just makes me more lonely in the long run.
maybe i should use headphones more or something.
i don't know why as soon as you leave my floor i realize i'm alone. i don't know why when we're all together i feel more alone.
i don't know why i do this to myself or to you. i don't know why you being in a bad mood puts me in a bad mood and i don't know why i can't get out of it like you do.
i don't know why i can't accept.
i'm sorry.
