badly written exams
Engineering exams should not be insanely difficult for incredibly stupid reasons: if an engineering exam is about %95 memorization, something's horribly wrong. So yeah, that's my electromagnetics exam in a nutshell. It gets bonus points 'cause the professor is a cheating nut, yet doesn't seem to get that nothing encourages cheating quite so much as ( Read more... ) -
grr tokyopop
So I actually buy some of my manga 'cause I try to be a semi-responsible fan and not just a leecher. I've thrown a decent amount of money into one series (Nosatsu junkie), only to hear that TokyoPop dropped it. ( more tokyopop ranting ) -
IGVC
I'm currently in Auburn Hills, Michigan to participate in the IGVC competition at Oakland University. There's nothing here-a friend and I arrived yesterday and walked to the competition, which was supposed to be 2 miles but was really closer to 3/4. We tried to get a cab back to the hotel and nobody would drive in 24 miles to drive us 3. I now have ( Read more... ) -
kubuntu needs a sane grub
I'm not a hardcore techie, but giving Kubuntu (a version of linux) a chance 'cause we use it in my lab/ubuntu for IGVC/why not? Wouldn't mind it being the default my comp starts with except 1)my comp's the one hooked up to the printer and I can't get my linksys print server working-will do something one day, b)can't get the linux install playing ( Read more... ) -
liking pop. =/= missing brain cells
Instead of going off on a tangent at the places that sparked this rant, I'll do it here. Yet another "liking Naruto makes you an idiot" post, coupled with a whole bunch of "only idiots like HP" comments on slashdot.
So, liking HP/Naruto/Bleach/Avatar (those seem to be the usual suspects) does not make a person a moron; on the contrary it shows they ( Read more... ) -
sleepy
I'm such a ditz that I was haplessly trying to figure out who defriended me, forgetting that it's always a two value difference. My room alternates between clean and disaster-I only clean every two weeks (when the cleaning lady shows up)-so I don't really know what's in there anymore. Also so spaced out-I made sure to get all this paperwork due ( Read more... ) -
*breathes*
I'm exhausted and overworked and avoiding work 'cause I can't even see straight anymore and my head feels like it's alternately crashing in on itself and exploding and I'm so exhausted and now I need an extension and I'm so tired I just don't know what to do. I thought that I was allowed to hand something in Friday (even though the official day was ( Read more... ) -
eek
Totally didn't even realize that I haven't updated for three weeks. When not dealing with school, life or other sundry stresses, I've been avoiding 'em. Been a roller coaster and a half and I'm just exhausted. Finals are in two weeks, so all the end of term stuff is piling on now. (research work + school work+the term paper that I'm avoiding. Need ( Read more... ) -
'allo
*got a gentle nudge, so updating*
Just been really, really busy with school lately, and when not busy with school, avoiding it all by burying myself in manga. Haven't kept up with any tv shows lately, watching heroes tonight and so very lost. Paper and exam next week, have to make up homework for most of my classes, months behind for one class, too ( Read more... ) -
I still exist
Kind of, sort of, maybe. Thanks for the b'day wishes. Shiny ole 20. Was a good day, even got gifts from friends-which basically hasn't really happened before. Went to dinner and Avenue Q with the family. Tired, very tired, but sort of happy.
School, work, club, two research project type things-getting paid for one, draining me. Two of the senior ( Read more... )
