Nostalgia (gee whiz I'm cool like jen now! (j/k sorry), and other things...
Seems I haven't had much to say about anything as of late. I'm starting to detest my irresponsibility greatly, I'm losing days of time a week to slothliness and have no better a demeanor for it. My room is a warzone, the house is empty, my linux box sits unrepaired. My trig test looms on monday and I have only finished about half of my preparation. I have huge projects at the school under my responsibility, and it seems I alone will have to coordinate and schedule the efforts of three different departments without screwing the whole thing up, on a part time schedule. One way or the other I need something big to show for all this, something I can put in my resume.
It kills me though, looking back on the beachnet kids, realizing how brilliant some of them are. I had my chance when I was younger, my time when I could have poured everything into an all out pursuit of knowledge. I have to work twice as hard now before this sponge of a brain of mine dries up. Met an electronics engineer named Dan at my school, neat guy. He had a lot of insight on what I would term "Office Politics for Techies". Thats a subject I really need to work hard on, probably my biggest lack at this point. I love driving when I have premium gas in the tank, might just be the magic feather effect but I swear that it runs tons better and I get better fuel economy as well. Sometimes when I'm driving, I imagine there is no car. I wonder what it would feel like, to just be flying through the air at that speed, that close to the ground, completely unassisted. Or I think, what if the car were to just disappear and I fell and slid at that speed. Scary thoughts I suppose...
And now the obligatory link to the next internet celebrity, and his claim to fame,
