i slept for most of today. but i feel much better now. was sick for the past x days, where x is large. i think i'm still sick, but it's not so bad ( Read more... )

so.. tomorrow the mathsoc movie night is free. i'd like to go, but i have class.. stupid english class. i have a "major" essay (1200-1500) words due for that class tomorrow. on the bright side, it's the last assignment for this term that i haven't yet finished. after that's over (sometime later today, hopefully), i'm free.. to study for exams. but ( Read more... )

finally, our euchre game nears completion. it's been approaching completion really slowly. i dislike c++. i also dislike stupid requirements in the assignment spec that force us to insert useless code to satisfy. most annoying. blarg. must sleep early to get up for student life 101 tomorrow.

so, it's been a really long time since i last posted.. i've been busy. what with the neverending cycle of assignments from six courses and co-op, i don't have any free time. at least there's a lot of good co-op jobs this term (relatively speaking). had an interview with NCR already.. went ok. i hope i get the interview for ibm.. development on the ( Read more... )

yeah, so another term started. yesterday, actually. the classes seem to be not-so-bad.. we have some interesting profs. although i'm not sure how i'm going to survive multiple iterations of 9.5-hours-of-classes thursdays ( Read more... )
