I. Am. Exhausted. Everything is pressing down on me, and I'm about to break. I'm a computer engineering major, but my main CECS class is killing me right now. I'll probably drop, because the first homework was so hard for me that I didn't finish more than about half of it. Maybe C++ just isn't my thing, or maybe I'm missing a prerequisite.

Now, after weeks of bugging the techs at the MSDNAA site, I have finally managed to log in and download my own, totally free, totally legal, copy of Windows XP Professional. Yes, I have again fallen into step with the rest of Microsoft's sheep, but this way I get to use my cool software and games again. :o) That, and things will work without me ( Read more... )

After many weeks of strenuous mental activity, I have finally completed my 3rd semester of engineering school. Though it was not as difficult as my second semester, I must admit that I took much less interest in it than I did in my spring classes. No matter; it's over now, and that's all that I care about right now. There is no music in this ( Read more... )

Yep, you guessed it. I'm giving blood at 11:30 today. As an A positive, I am not as sought after as an O blood type like Mary, but every bit of donated blood counts. At least, that's what I've been told. The last time I went - which was also my first time - my bag filled rather quickly, but fortunately I didn't feel faint at all after giving. ( Read more... )

Yep, another day and another set of classes. Here's the forecast for tomorrow: Calculus is calling for a 100% of quiz, perhaps all in one spot or partially quizzy in both the beginning and end of class. Physics promises to be mild, just like any place is before the storm hits. Now, onto sports. Today, the fearful foursome (John, Dustin, Joe, ( Read more... )

Yep, it's that time again - the day after a lengthy and especially enjoyable 4th of July weekend, after which I don't have an excessive amount of work to do. Yet, I know that if I don't get ahead now that soon I shall be behind again. Oh well. I suppose 'tis the way it tends to go when one encounters Speed School. Counting today, I have only 17 ( Read more... )

These lyrics give a little insight on how I feel right now about the problem I'm having ( Read more... )

This weekend will be a relief. I get to spend time with friends and family, both immediate and extended. I get to teach Mary how to change oil. I get to kiss my communications class goodbye. I get to play music for the God I serve and worship freely in the way a choose. Oh, and of course, I get to BLOW STUFF UP! :) But anyway, all huge ( Read more... )

You know that school is burning you out when you come off a weekend of relaxation and are already exhausted by Monday night. But this isn't happening to me, OH NO (read previous sentence w/ heavy sarcasm.) Anyway, I have a pre-lab to complete, a chapter of physics homework to do, and an outline to design for my final speech (yay.) Speaking of ( Read more... )

Here I am again. It's like an obsession, but not really. I just don't feel like studying my calculus. So instead I'm working on my typing skills and writing down my stuff as well. Now that the outline is done, it's working on my speech about puppies. Okay, so it's really dogs, not puppies, but whatever. I can't say I'm pumped for the cornhole ( Read more... )
