I pulled a 929 today...

Yes, a 929. Nine o'clock AM to nine o'clock PM on campus. I'm going to have to make this post short and quick, so I get get my ass to bed to prepare for a hell of a 36 hours (day and a 1/2). Here are some points I wish I had time to post and write about but will just glaze over.

- I got treated to 6 lanes worth of eye-candy from the girls of Alpha Chi Omega on Saturday at work.
- I played poker with Jesus Saturday night.
- I need to fucking stop covering for people at work - rather, I just need to stop working so much altogether.
- I still can't bowl - superglue?
- 4th out of 6 isn't bad, my immune system finally cracked though... hopefully it will hold up and win soon.
- Rangers has been screwed up... we'll see what happens eventually... give it some time.
- Classes have gotten me confused, but we will have to see what I end up taking.
- New idea about what to do with my degree: Sales Engineering (thanks Mike).

And I will end with this quote that I will live by for the next 36 hours:

"Every second of my life that passes right now, unless I have something related to EE 307 in front of my face and new information is entering my brain, I get more and more scared. And let me tell you, I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY scared."

Good morning America. This is WAY too early...

I'm up, before the crack of dawn even, to continue my studying/reviewing of Stats. I did it to myself though... because had I taken the time yesterday morning, yesterday afternoon, or even earlier this weekend to study what I'm about to do - I could've kept on sleeping. I don't know which one is better, but now is not the time to be contemplating which one was the better allocation of my time.

Just a random thought: what happens when you mix milk and Coke and let it sit there for a while? I know that Coke can dissolve human teeth, and that milk is I think some form of acid or another. Hmmmmm....

Wish me luck on the test, more to come later today or tomorrow with the after-thoughts of the test and my reaction to whether or not I had to do an integration by parts and the details of chapter 6 on the test.

My lap hurts... this is very uncomfortable.

...is what I'm saying to him. He just HAS to lay down lengthwise along with my legs, so I'm forced to squeeze them together so he doesn't fall through. Arg, lay sideways! I move him that way, and he looks up at me like, "What?"

Study study study. I really hope I do well on this Stats test. I need to... to make up for those bad quizzes. I have to do a lot more tomorrow. Oh and I still have to finish my stupid 307 homework. Man, these things just never end.

This weekend was okay, didn't do too much. Friday night, just stayed in and watched TV, played SOF2, and went to bed. I got soooo much sleep this past weekend too, it was just sleep in late, eat a late-late lunch and get really full, take a big 2-4 hour nap, wake up, and enjoy the night. I watched Team America last night, and Saturday night I didn't do shit either. Wow, this was really a relaxing weekend, I wish I had more of these. Well, gotta get my shit together for the next few weeks, we're looking at Stat test this week, 307 next week, and most likely 302 the week after that. Time to get things together, this was the last relaxing weekend for a while...

Saturday Morning

... and I'm home. No work today, because I worked for Jeff on Monday night and so he is covering mine. This is going to be such a nice long weekend. How long you ask? Well, class last week officially ended for me at 11PM and even taking work into account, I don't have to go on campus again until 1PM Tuesday. That means sleeping in this morning (yay), Sunday morning, Monday morning, AND Tuesday morning! Boy this is going to be a very good weekend for catching up on sleep and homework as well. I have 307 homework, 302 homework, and massive studying to do for STATS so I can get a good grade on this next midterm (to make up for the quizzes that I screwed up on).

I shot 2 "Turkeys"

Yeah that's right, I shot 2 "Turkeys" with my 13 pound, Maxim bowling ball. Rec Center's Intramural Bowling Tournament was tonight, with 7 male participants (myself included) and 2 females. It was scratch 3 games, winner of guys and girls take home a 2005 Intramural Championship T-shirt. So how did I do? I came in 4th. Here's how I did:

Game 1: 168 (1 turkey), Game 2: 170, Game 3: 205 (1 turkey), Total: 543

Everyone else:

1st: Aris - 637 (+94)
2nd: Paul - 561 (+18)
3rd: Lincy - 548 (+5)
4th: Me - 543 (0)
5th: Dan - 496 (-47)
6th: Russel - 481 (-62)
7th: Jose - 451 (-92)

Man, I didn't come that far from 2nd place! 18 pins, that's basically 1 strike or spare away. I had that 10th frame during the 2nd game where I spared it, but got a fucking 1. I should've been 3rd place. Oh well. Oh yeah and I broke a blister on my thumb too.. good thing I don't have to bowl until next week, gives it time to heal.

Well today was a fucking bad day, until bowling of course. To start off, I didn't finish my 307 homework and was about to turn it in incomplete until Rod told me 307 was cancelled. That was the 2nd best thing that happened to me today. Then I got to school for 302, and realized that homework was fucking due!!! FUCK, I forgot it AGAIN. I have a plan to get credit for it though, however I gotta do it first. Then at league bowling, I rolled slightly (about 10 pins) below my average... my team fucking sucked donkey-balls like no other. No one got a fucking mark until the 8th frame, and no one broke 100 (or 90 even, if my memory is correct). IDIOTS! Then in Stats class I realized I forgot my calculator and couldn't play games. I got home, took a nap, and went back to school for lab. On the bus ride there, we missed 6B but I could've still caught the 5. It turns out that it ran waaaaayyyyy late, and by the time I found out about it and it got to the transit station, I had Rod come pick me up. I got to lab, and it turned out to be CANCELLED. Fucking christ, so then I went to the bowling alley and did the tournament thing. Damn dog is running around like crazy... and I'm spent as well.

He wants to play right now, rolling on the ground, chewing his own tail, and itching himself. Looking at me with those eyes saying "Please?" So it shall be... after I'm done here.

Today was fucked up. Correction, Stats class was fucked up. I knew it was going to happen... I just keep more mad at myself for it. I worked for Jeff last night during Pizza Bowl so that he can take his g/f out for Valentine's Day. It wasn't bad, I picked up an extra $30 on top of my wages and brought home tons of pizza. However, the trade-off for all those things included valuable time to work on my Lab report and study for the fucking Stats Quiz #3. Last but not least I also traded sleep, of which I wasn't able to do until 1AM, only to have to wake up 5 1/2 hours later at 6:30 to prepare for my easy day (Tuesday) at work and school.

Had I studied more, I might've had time to go back and review/practice those problems that showed up on the quiz. I thought I was ready, but I wasn't... everything I was ready for wasn't on the quiz. I figured out that it was 4% of my grade in the class that I just flushed down the toilet today. Boy was I steaming after that class, I can't believe that all the time and efforts put into trying to study for the quiz, Schaffner ended up not putting any of it on the quiz. Why the fuck does he have to make those integrals so hard and complicated?

Fuck it. Lets play with the doggie, finish the lab report, watch TV, and put my picture frame together and get some sleep. Long day ahead of me tomorrow, including lab, maybe a study session, and the Rec Center's Intermural Bowling Tournament. I know I can't win, but I just want to see how close I come to everyone else. There's only supposed to be like 6 to 10 people in the guy's category, so let's see how well I do.

Why in the fuck does he sleep on my pillow?

I've realized something that will help keep you awake: studying. Well, it's hard to get into the mood, and especially hard to get motivated to start. And also, perhaps the biggest hinderance and hill to climb is the fact that it gets frustrating - VERY frustrating when you can't figure something out. However, when all of the pieces fall into place and the study session goes as well as it possibly could have, you end up staying awake. That's what happened to me anyways, as I force-ably made myself study for the all imporant BJT quiz tomorrow, I got into the "zone" or "flow" and (almost) everything made sense. As I studied and practiced examples, I found myself wide awake. Like I said, this phenomenon doesn't happen very often - the studying tonight happened to be somewhat short, with lots of examples for me to look at and practice with, lots of equations (plug-and-chug) that were used over and over and were the same, oh and did I say it was short and not a lot of material? Too bad it can't always be like this.

Haircut today, feels much better now.

I hope I bowl better tomorrow. Our team's doing okay I suppose, but we only win when someone does really good (and even then, all it takes is for someone to bowl really bad to fuck it all up). How cool would it be if I could win the Intermural Bowling Tournament... I would get my picture taken and be in the Rec Center magazine and I get a cool shirt. Oh well, I'll try my best in a week from today... hopefully they don't oil the lanes and they stay dry, but it's not likely.

Rangers kicking ass, we're doing good in these scrims. Namely because we have lots of good people on... most of them are good anyways. First CT practice this Sunday afternoon, hope it goes well and I need to start making some plans and screenshots for maps.

No time for Dragonball Z Budokai 3, I suppose I need to get my priorities straight and play only when I have the time to (like back in elementry school, only on Fridays and weekends) so to not screw up my grades.

This is going to be one of the first Valentine's Days where I will be lonely and not spending money. Shit, I suppose I should send Kara a card... good thing Mom had that bag full of cards, I'll look into it tomorrow. Other things I also need to send: deposit for the dog plus get the rest of the signatures... and I think something else but I really can't remember.

Oops, I missed Real World tonight. I'm sure I'll catch it later this week. I hope to post more, I really do.
