Under different circumstances

So things are about to get hairy school-wise. Got two tests this week, and something due every day of the week. So no rest for Mitchy for a while.

I got a permit acquired this week. Granted, by now it's probably not that much of a bargain, but at least it's the mild security of not having to worry about a parking space everyday, or leaving it out under the elements. And, yes, my car's name is Charlie. So Charlie will be at the Highland Garage while I'm at school.

I downloaded the real SMB2 (Known here as the Lost levels) and it's a pain. The learning curve is pretty big, but it's starting to fall into place. I have to win the game 8 times in order to unlock the extra worlds. So far I'm at 5, and the last run took all of 20 minutes. So that's a mini-long term project. I still have 500 wii points that I need to spend. Maybe Bubble Bobble?

Valentines day is this week. Wow. I totally just spelled it valentimes. Lame.

Been practicing the GRE a little bit with my mom. She's no expert test taker, but I think she knows that this is a pretty big thing to not take lightly. I'm scoring mediocre on the verbal, but I might be able to do well on the writing. we'll see.

I finally put up all the stuff in my room. My old pictures, the three random paintings I've made, and my new Pink Floyd poster that is totally kickass. Trying to go for a Southwestern theme, with random math trophies and pictures from Berkeley. we'll see.

Looks like I might get to do summer research here, but what all is entailed is not totally clear. we'll see how that goes. It looks like I'd get paid for it, so that's always a plus.

Life is happening, so why does it feel like I'm stuck in one place, or, more importantly, why there's nobody stuck here with me...
