Zweiunddreißig Grad Fahrenheit sind null Grad Celsius
So do Germans just not have the concept of proper nouns or what? I mean, it's been bugging me. I need to remember to ask my instructor about this or something. Whatever. It is way too late at night and I have way too much homework. I blame my sister. We talked on the phone for too long about some stuff. It's all her fault. Also mine. Mostly mine, ( Read more... ) -
So classy...
The following is the preface to an old textbook being used as a decoration along with a bunch of other textbooks on a shelf in one of the study rooms of the science building (where I am now even though I don't have any classes in this building, as I am a total loser). What I would like to do is get the preface to a newer book on the same subject ( Read more... ) -
Accomplishing things is overrated
So even though I just managed to write an entry for Saturday before it was over, I guess I didn't even have an entry for yesterday. I said I'd possibly with something interesting if I had anything interesting to say, but apparently I failed to even consider updating the whole day. Actually, I did nothing of any importance whatsoever all day. Well ( Read more... ) -
#586
I thought I'd forgotten to write an entry for today, then I realized that it's still technically today. Getting up in the morning for a change has distorted my sense of time. So I guess I completed my first week of school. Uh, I don't know what else to say about that. I seem to be on top of things as far as that goes. But I'm definitely not used to ( Read more... ) -
Pinochle
My family keeps playing now. It is a strange game. It uses its own deck that differs from a standard deck in that it lacks the numbers 1-8 and has two each of the other cards. Because the cards come in pairs and you see a large portion of them initially, it is probably the easiest game to count cards out of any I've ever seen. Most of the actual ( Read more... ) -
No German class today...
But I am in the classroom and I'm going to study some of these audio tracks. I noticed that I get wireless internet here. I guess there are more hubs on campus than there used to be. When I went here before, there were only three buildings with WiFi. If this old, crappy building gets it, then that situation sure has changed... -
Second day of classes
I waited too long last night to do the reading I was supposed to do for my statistics class. But it turned out almost no one in the class had even done the reading at all. More reading tonight, but I have work and then judo before that. I'm wondering how I'd hold up if I were doing real school while also working and doing judo. I'd like to think I ( Read more... ) -
This should be easy...
Well, I finished my classes for the day. This should be easy. Statistics has the same instructor I had twice in math classes and I know he's good. As for German, I did not actually learn a single word of German today. All the instructor did was have us fill out a sort of getting-to-know-you form. So yeah, there's not much to tell. I didn't expect ( Read more... ) -
Really wanting that upgrade now...
Stupid Windows Vista crashed on me while I was typing an entry and so, because LJ is also stupid, I lost what I'd typed. Fortunately I don't let these things run on too long anymore because I've learned that LJ can no longer save entries, but it's still annoying and I was almost done. I think I'll try again from a more reliable computer, despite ( Read more... )
