It sure is lonely in here...

Yesterday, I came into lab in the afternoon to install some data acquisition boards in a new computer. It didn't work out too well, so we ended up having to put them back in the old computer, but I didn't mind because I was playing Oblivion on the new computer between breaks and I kind of got too into it. I got so into it, in fact, that when ( Read more... )

I've been at research since 9 AM yesterday, setting up and running experiments in the lab for the first time. Before now, I had always programmed or bought stuff and made hardware or analyzed data, but I figured I should start experimenting sometime, and someone happened to be available today to teach me, but damn it sucks ass. Experimenting is ( Read more... )

A little over a month ago, I was in lab and a grad student asked me to help her out with some MATLAB scripts so she showed me stuff on her computer. Her english isn't very good, but it's understandable, and her spelling apparently isn't very good either because one of the directories I saw was labeled "analised data". Saying the name, she even said ( Read more... )

This school year's gone by pretty fast, but I can't say I'm glad it's over because next year is gonna be worse. I never quite picked up on studying hard like I'd committed myself to, so my grades aren't gonna go up (unless I got lucky) and that makes me very sad. It always happens to be one test that fucks my life over because I got cocky, and then ( Read more... )

I've never really spent time thinking about what I'm looking for in the future. The college path I'm going on now will either land me in a good job, or it'll land me in a bad job but both of those points involve many more years of "education" and hard work. I don't like bitching out of daunting tasks, but sometimes I really don't think that ( Read more... )

There's a weird korean guy who lives on my floor and he's always dressed in black - black tshirt, black pants. He's from Seoul and speaks fluent English, though with an interesting choice of grammar and vocabulary, and he's a chubby guy with glasses. The first time I thought he was weird happened when I walked into the lounge and he was eating ( Read more... )

I'm hoping that the people already in the C range will stay there, and that I didn't do bad enough to drop down. That tricky bastard hardly put any problems on the exam from old tests and online notes. I guess we're supposed to figure most everything out since this is a "seminar" class and we're supposed to apply what we know. Except I didn't know ( Read more... )

Bio classes have always made me sad, and today I have a bio exam at 2. I haven't slept, but there's so much information that I think I should've started studied earlier... In fact I could've started studying earlier but I had an orgo exam yesterday, and I wanted to pwn it ( Read more... )
