Wow, I never realized how dependent I was on Maria's daily calls from Rome. I haven't heard from her since Sunday and I'm all bent out of shape as a result. Weird, since I was the one who told her it's not that important to call me all the time as long as she was enjoying herself. On the balance, Roo and David are here chillin', looking at the ( Read more... )

Since my classes don't really require much in the way of writing, I'm starting to want to post again. Unfortunately, nothing happens for me to post about. Well I guess something happened today; David called to say he's coming up for the weekend to hang, then Sharooh called to say the same thing, the Marianna came over to get all dolled up for ( Read more... )

My sister was up for Preview yesterday and today, which means one thing and one thing only: free food. Yes, when the Providers grace our modest little college town with their presence all the peasants rejoice and quickly dust off the old puppy dog eyes, for lo! the right face can make all the difference. Example: I managed to walk away with ( Read more... )

This weekend was a whole lot of fun, and by that I mean really lazy and dorky. I let slip to Ginny that my favorite artist by far is Salvidor Dali. He is academic and obtuse enough to satisfy my need for something analyze, but nothing he does looks like I could have done it, which is a huge plus. Add to that his complete and utter insanity (the ( Read more... )

Oh yea, it's been a while since I last posted. I got a B+ in Diff Eq thanks to a FIFTY point bonus question I pwn3d on our final. Now I'm taking AFS2002 "The African Experience" which is fairly interesting, and FOS2001 "Man's Food" which was recommended to me as "the easiest A at UF", so it's ideal for getting my B credits I don't care about ( Read more... )

I think i just beat my lowest test score ever (a 49% in physics last year). I make stupid mistakes on tests which don't have a bubble sheet, like differential equations tests. But Diff Eq is basically just learning how to set up problems so they're solvable, then it's just a matter of calculus and algebra to finish it; once you know the procedure ( Read more... )

Since it's early summer, I only have one class and no work, so I have to procrastinate extra hard to get behind. As a result, I have added various media outlets to my normal internet haunts. Not CNN.com or anything, because I can't take any more talk about King George right now, just the more benign sites, like Cnet's news site. Recently, I have ( Read more... )

Somehow, somehow I exceeded all rational and irrational expectations and got a freaking 95% on my physics final.  WTF!?!?! I am so happy!!!!!!!  Better yet, this test had an average of 56.7, so the test I totally rocked the socks off of was really hard, apparently.  OMG.  I am so flustered I can't even express myself in words, I have to use dumbass ( Read more... )

Google video search (http://video.google.com) "History Teacher". It made my day, and it will make yours too.

YAY! School is almost over. At least, it would almost be over if I wasn't a physics major, but I've decided to ignore my Thursday and Friday finals. I mean, it's like a whole week away. Who thinks that far ahead anyway ( Read more... )
