you know what I just realized? I'll NEVER get to be an uncle, at least in the proper sense of the word. And that makes me sad.

Maybe that changes everything.

ripoffs

so I found out that the gatorade machine is haywire. It was charging 99.95 for a drink! Good thing I only had 3.62 on my debit-type card that the machines work with, otherwise I'd've gotten screwed! Who's idea was this? Or did the system just reset somehow? Did it get hacked? Who knows?

Also, i bought girl scout cookies with my last 4 dollars. they sure are tasty, even if they're not made with real girl scouts.

I'm almost done with my hw, I swear, but it's just freaking annoying!

My fortune cookie told me that if i want something, then I have to earn it. Rewards don't just fall from the sky.

you know what's fun? Not giving a crap about school or grades. So what if I got a 52% on my last Thermo hw? I'm at a point right now where I don't care. I know I should, and it will bite me in the ass before I know it, but for the time being I don't give a damn. Video games and naps are the way to go! It's what everyone should focus on.

lo siento, pero no se como poner las accentes en la blogger.

te presento a Bertha. Ella es nuestra nueva microonda. Parece mexicana y vieja, pero es cosa buena, !porque ahora ella puede cocinar como una abuela!

KATAMARI DAMACY HAS CONSUMED MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!

easy living

I have a pounding headache right now, but I shall not let that stop me from pointing something out.

I've become a delinquent. I didn't go to my Thermodynamics class twice this week, and I can blame both occurrences on lazyness. Like I "forgot" to set my alarm clock last night, and I "forgot" that taking 2 Benadryls make me sleepy. Also dropping my German class has really opened my eyes. Because now I get what's so great about it. I can't complain about other people slackin anymore, because that's what I'm doing now. And boy does it feel good.

I must've played Mario Golf for like 2 hours at least with my roommmate Dan last night. It was a lot of fun. Speed golf is very intense, let me just tell you that. So I've really been slacking on my homework, and it's starting to show. I got a B on my scary boxes class because I haven't really looked at my notes. Our first test is next week, so I have to actually sit down and force myself to study. I need to figure out how to balance work and play, cuz I really suck at that.

Also, I think I've figured out a really good plan for college. If it weren't for my inhibitions, I'd say that this was definite:

TRIPLE major in Applied Math, Engineering Math, and Interdisciplinary studies (my focus areas would be math, mechanical engineering, and economics). I'd have to talk with the Interdisciplinary people to actually see if this is doable, though. But, in terms of units, it is very doable.

Assuming I pass all my current classes and can get into AME 250 over the summer,

for Engineering math- 61 units (19 classes)
plus regular math- 12 units (for the sub-genre I want to take) (4 classes)
plus inter- 15 units (all 5 of which are econ classes)
= 88 units in 28 classes. Divide that by 6 semesters and possible winter sessions and that makes less than 5 classes per semester, which is AVERAGE by university standards. I can be average! Have my dreams of normalcy come true?

And I could even reduce this more by doubling up on a couple more classes or by ignoring the whole interdisciplinary BA, though it imples I am also well rounded.

But enough jibber jabber.


So, how bout them grammys? Heard that Green Day won Record of the Year with Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Compared to its competitors I can understand, but I still don't like that much. And U2 won best album. But didn't How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb come out like 2 years ago? Should it even qualify? Idunno. My roommate Brian says that it won just because they are U2, after all. Cuz Bono used to be Jesus, man.

My grandma got out of the hospital on like Tuesday. They said they really couldnt do any surgery for her back because it wouldn't really be very effective and would jeopardize her even more since she'd have to go under anaesthesia and is a shallow breather as it is. I'm across the street from UHS at my mom's apartment right now. God, her computer is so slow. But at least we get digital cable. Hooray for Lingo and commerical free rock music!

yay! I missed our stats project!

oh happy days are here again....

left field

ok, so I finally got my AP credit from the English department. It only took them a freaking month to do it. Geesh.

But now, a dilemma.

So what I think they did was, in order to give me the AP credit, they arbitarily gave me credit for a class that I will never have an intention in taking, English Literature. Normally that would be fine and dandy, except there's one little thing that I'm not so sure about:

On the official classlist it says that that class also counts for a gen ed Humanities class. Does this mean that I also received the gen ed humanities credit for it, too? On my unofficial transcript online it just says "English lang and comp" under the title of the class, so that leads me to believe that they just stuffed it in there for me. But since I am currently taking a gen ed Humanities class, the german one, does that mean it's now worth confederate dollars? Also, since tomorrow is the last day to drop a class w/out it showing up on your transcript, I doubt I'd get enough time to ask around. If it turns out that I don't have to complete the German class, then odds are I'll drop it later, it'll just show up on my transcript that I dopped it.

Why do people like making things more complicated?

update:

the deed is done. I dropped the german class. I really like doing it impersonally, just a couple of clicks, nobody to confront you with "why"s and "come on"s. It's sweet. But saying goodbye is always so hard. Now I have 150 worth of books that now mean crap. I can save them in the event anyone else would like to try the class next semester, but now I feel a little weird, but I think it's a good weird. hanson comes to mind.

Isn't it strange how we all feel a little bit weird
Strange, how we all get a little bit.
Strange, cause we all just a little bit weird sometimes.

I am not a murderer!

It was not my Hot pockets that did it in, I swear. It was just its time. I didn't realize how old it was. Was it my ma n cheese? no, I can't blame this on myself. But I spilled water inside of it. No! Oh, the guilt I feel that I don't think I should have.

unmotivated

I'm ditching my German class right now. I know. I can't believe it either. I think this is the first class this whole year that I've actively decided to not go to a class. god I hope this doesn't start a trend.

Though now I'm afarid of going to my next class. You see, it's in the same building as the one that I just ditched, and if I saw the teacher there then I would feel really bad. And then what if he confronted me about it? Oh gee, I don't think I can take this kind of pressure.

But it is my fault. Stupid evil box of happiness that we call TV. I must've watched that thing from like 5 to 8 nonstop, during prime homework time. Then I started to read my book that I was already 5 pages behind. So I read like 10. And then I just got so sleepy. An hour and a half later, more cartoons were on, and I was now 20 pages behind. I just need to buck up and start dong my hw again. maybe I need to start going back to the library. There I won't get distracted as easily.

And it dawned on me that I actually might be able to get a triple major in four years. If I apply for Interdisciplinary studies here, all I'd need is the stuff I have pretty much already decided I am going to do (Mech Eng minor/major, Econ minor, math stuff) and take like 1 more Econ class and voila! another degree. God, I'm so superficial.
