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!
