| Sure, he didn't think that I would be rude ehough to change stuff on his lj. But let's be honest folks, you don't own your livejournal. Nope! Livejournal does. Everything you write is public domain. so... HA!
I have my own webserver... because I am just that dern 1337.
So I like Kheldar, he's a good guy. He just has this skinny thing goin on that I'm not sure if I'm all that receptive of it. He's probably playing WoW right now, and has no idea this is happening. That makes me happy. Not sure why. I missed my cs lab today, and I am kinda mad about that. Gr.
I'm better than Kheldar at Computer Science. HA!
I think Mr. Kheldar here intruiges women. I'm not sure if it the hair, the skinny ass legs, the skinny ass, or what. He's a great guy, and I understand that not all women are looking for assholes. But a lot are..... grrrrr. Kheldar, I have to do that engineering lab as well. I should do that now.
Hmm. Kheldar, you can have a post on my page if you want.

| I know hes never going to read this, but i thought i should say it.
Nathan was probably one of the better friends i've ever had and will be greatly missed while he is gone. I hope that he stays safe while in the marines. He's a tough guy, and I know he can take it. But still, who knows where he is going to be after boot camp is over...makes me worry. Wish i had been able to spend more time with him while he was still in sterling.
Hopefully we'll hear from him soon...by now he's settled into boot camp, but i doubt writing home is the first thing on his mind. I know he has a few peoples adresses. After he sends something, I'll post up his adress so we can all send him stuff. I'm sure he'd love to hear from everyone. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Woke up very confused When i woke up, there was no alarm. I thought that i had woken up early. this is good, i thought, now i can get some work done before class. That turned out to be horrible wrong. It was already 11 o'clock and i had missed my first few classes...including one that i had a take home quiz due in. I quickly dashed off to the class that I had in 20 min. After that i found my calculus teacher to turn in that quiz. got really really lucky and she accepted it.
Studied for Calculus test did this for about 4 hours...i doubt anyone wants to hear about it. besides, i don't want to write it.
Dinner ate alone and studied some more
Test I think it went alright. I was not unsure in any of the answers that i gave. If i get points off, I think it's going to be mostly from simplification errors. I say that now, but I'm sure i screwed up something else. Well...just have to wait and see.
Engineering project Only one other guy showed up, so we just worked on a few designs. the thing we are working on is the MacGuyver project. We are given a toolbox full of junk, and have to asseble a contraption to complete some kind of task. we already finished task one (set off a mouse trap, then 5-10 seconds later, set off another one). That first one went pretty well and we got an A on it. this one is a bit more complicated. We need to make a device that pickes up a playing card and then transports it 8 feet to a 1 foot X 1 foot area. We have a few designs, one of which i think will work...sort of. we'll know a bit more after we start testing.
Alice This is a, as my sister would put it, gay program that we are using as a learning tool in engineering class. We are actually beta testing it; pretty soon its going to be used for what it was made for- to teach MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS how to program. For someone who has no programming experience, i can see how one would learn something from it....but as a CS major, there is nothing to be gained. The final project we have is to design a game. I just wrote one tonight that involves driving around a track. you have a time limmit, but rather than go through gates or check points to get more time put on the clock, you get to hit Alice (looks like the one from alice and wonderland...blue dress and all) with the car. Its great, and knowing my prof. he's going to give us an A on it. (he's not too fond of Alice either)
Running didn't feel like doing to usual of running around the drill field, so i just picked a direction and started running. I ended up in some area without any lights and all these creepy farm buildings around. It was really dark and there was this clicking sound that always seemed to be behind me....i ran out of there pretty fast. i don't really know what the excact total distance was, but I ran for 45 min at about an 8 min mile pace....so call it 5 miles, give or take. | comments: Leave a comment  |

| Woke up very very late
I sat in my room last night and said,
"alright, time to go running." ....then i just continued to sit
there. After stairing at a wall for 10 minutes, i realized that
there was not going to be any running that night. so i promised
myself that i would run in the
mornign. Morning came around....still, no
runing took place. what did take place was two english
essays. nothing long, about a page each.
English class
We didnt really do any work, just had a big
discussion about economy and politics. It is pretty heavy
stuff....just seeing how much power the wealthy in this country have,
and how that power is continuing to grow.
Practice
Its tuesday, so we skated gates. fun stuff,
and the fact that we arent doing something like running stairs only
makes it even better
Dinner
Ramen
Halo
played for a short while, then just sat around and
talked with the guys on first floor. a pretty normal evening.
CS project
much more straight forward than the last one.
i feel much more cofident in the code that i'm writting for this.
Talked to dane
always good. Talked about how the sterling
crowd really is pretty cool. She just got a rap that jeff and
john recorded....i'll post it up later, everyone has to hear it.
Running
3.8 miles again. should have gone further to
make up for last night...oh well. I need to start running this
faster. I think i'm actually going to do a mock 5k in a week or
so just to see where i am.
well, i'm off to take a shower, then go to bed. going to try to wake up early and start studying for a calc test.

| Calculus lab
woke up at 930 and walked to the emporium. The
lab for today wasnt too difficult; Nathan and I knocked it out of the
way fairly qyuickly. I also took two quizes there, got 4/4 on
one, 3/4 on the other. not great...not bad though. Walked
back to campus and grabbed some luch before going back to the room.
Bits of work
I put a few finishing touches on my CS project that
was to be demoed to the TA that day and read an essay for
english. It was actually a really insighfull bit of wrighting
done by a native american in the 70's/80's. Altough it would be
good to read it for yourself, the basics of it are about how white
people/modern people live in such a wastefull and unnatural
manner. He goes into great deal how we feel the need to "sanitize
things" and "rape the earth." As i said...interesting.
Classes
Had english first. The teacher wasnt there,
but he had left instructions in an email saying that we were to get
into groups and discuss the essay. I wish the rest of the class
had enjoyed it as much as I had. Most of them just found it
boring....damn drunks...Also, during the class, i had my laptop out and
was just checking up on a few things, mostly that CS project. My
wallpaper right now is a nice picture of Dane that I took last time she
was down here. Gohara (*spelling*), this fairly atractive
oriental girl (atractive in the model sense...not really cure) looked
over and went, "wow, she's pretty. so thats really your
girlfriend?" See Dane? even hot asians are jealous of you.
We finished up early, but i didnt really have anything to do, since i
normally have the CS lab right after that class. So, i just went
and sat in the lab for 45 min fooling around with the project.
Lab time came and everything went alright....could have been
better. We'll see what the final grade turns out to be.
Dinner
Consisted of a Cookies-&-Creame milkshake. I couldnt resist...they're so good....
Hanging out with people
Spent time with the only new people i have met since
being here at tech. This is a group of guys down on the wellness
hall (no drinking, no drug lifestyle) down on the first floor of the
building. We just sat around and talked for a bit and played some
Halo. They are a pretty cool group of guys, and very different
from pretty much everyone else you would meet here at Tech. If
i'm not off campus next year, i will almost certainly do the wellness
hall thing. Seems like it fits me alot better.
Talked with Dane
Short conversation. She had a pretty bad
headache and decided to go to bed early. Everyone, send her your
love; shes had a pretty toough week, and definatly deserves it.
Went running
3.8 miles (+or-.1) i think i'm going to time
myself in another two weeks just to see where i'm at, and how much work
i still have to do before the race on thanksgiving. (listened to At the
Drive-In while running)

| Breakfast with nathan
Classes
Sociology, calc, CS, and engineering. Nothing special really happened in any of them
Short nap
Got about 4 hours of sleep the night before, so i was kindof tired right after class.
Package from home
Awoke to the sound of a UPS delivery man knocking on
the door. The stuff my mom sent me managed to make it here in one
day. Got a new cell phone (mine has almost died...its been in the
process of dying ever since it went swimming three times), more ramen
soup (not enough...but is there ever enough ramen?), and some snack
stuff that moms always put in lunch boxes. All that was cool, but
the best part was the cookies that my little sisers made. I ate
cookies and played around with the phone for the next hour or so.
Talked to my dad and dane for a bit too. Both Dane and I think
that someone needs to throw an anti-baseball party tonight. I
only had a bit of time left before practice, so i set up the interfaces
for my CS project. This one looks like its going to be a bit more
simpler than the last one.
Practice
It was pretty cool today. After a few quick
drills (mostly speed work with stairs) we played some capture the
flag. Even though its a fun game already, we made it even better
by playing it in the HUGE football staduim. No no...not the
field, the stadium. Rediculously high bleachers and spiraling
ramps and staircases undernieth them. All in all, it made for a
very cool game indeed.
Dinner
Couldnt find anyone to go with. Then again, i didnt try very hard. Went to West End.
Random little things
Didnt really feel like starting on any large piece
of work, so i just checked up on assignments, talked with the guys
across the hall, watched the last half of a movie (Hero), listened to
music. It was cool....i was listening to the band Nathan's in
(The Maids of Cadiz). For those of you that don't come around the
VT campus, (which is none of you, save katyln/paul) I listen to my
music loud. The way i see it, these college kids (again COLLEGE
KIDS) that listen to middle school bands like lincoln park, good
charlotte, and Ying Yang Twins (you know...that "skeet skeet" song)
should be exposed to some of the more, in my opinion, talented bands
out there (The Mars Volta, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Murder City
Devils, Incubus, Chili Peppers.....it goes on) I'm not saying
that what they listen to is bad...its just that i'm not a fan of
it. It seems like most people never get exposed to anything
except what's on the radio. Either way, enough of that tangent, I
was blasting Maids of Cadiz and two people stopped by asking who it
was. They were shocked when I told them it was my roommate.
I really do think they could go somewhere with that band. One of
them liked it so much that he wanted a copy of it. Sorry to the
guys in the band...I owe you for at leaste one CD, but it is getting
your sound out there....thats good, right?
Fire Alarm
This was a planned one that we have to have once a
month. It was acctually enjoyable; a few other guys and I
just threw around a frisbee the entire time.
Run
Went 3.8 miles (+ or - .1). I'm trying to get
ready for a 5k race that me and my dad are doing over Thanksgiving
Break. I would like nothing more than to suprise him.
Time to go call Dane.

...yea...it's big.
Heading down to VT for the next 3 days.
Heads up to anyone that doesnt know, there is a battle of the bands on sunday the 25th that we are playing in. It is being held in round hill, not too far away, and will be judged by the Dreamscapes Project It would be awsome if we could get some kind of group going to it. We won the last one that was held there and hope to do it again even though there will be about 6 more bands.

Dane, my father, grandfather, sister, and I went to another lake today to do some fishing. This one is on some kind of nature reserve, so there are no houses, docks, or buildings around the entire lake. In fact, besides the two roads leading to it, there are no signs of civilization there. It was quite peacfull to just sit out on the water and fish. We caught about 30 all together. Dane got both the highest number of fish, 8, and the biggest fish, a bass that weighed almost five pounds.
We ate the four fish that we took home for dinner. In honor of Dane, my grandmother made white rice. Needless to say, she ate the entire bowl.
Pretty much everyone in my family has now met Dane, and they all love her. Last night everyone was talking about how adorable, sweet, and great with kids she is. | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment  |
