One final down two to go. This one was the hardest… at least in terms of study. It wasn’t math or computer science is why. 😛 Cumulative stuff makes studying hard. I think I did pretty well though. It’s possible I did well enough to bump me up to an A. I was at 89.5%. I definitely did well enough that my grade won’t drop.

My awesome biology department is trying to kick me out of one of my classes. Actually, they’ve succeeded, but I’m still in denial. If I convince them to take me back it’ll be good. If I fail I’ll post a post about my awesome experiences. 😛

Pat is coming down tomorrow. That will be fun. Almost summer yo.

Gotta eat. Then more calculus study. Must prepare before Pat gets here.

Our CS professor didn’t show up for the last day of class either. Kinda sucks. I dunno how to do the assignment. Oh well.

I have not much left to do. 3 finals… one pre-final study/class thing, and studying.

I love Modern Marvels.

Saw Serenity again yesterday. It was shown for free. It was awesome. All who haven’t seen it… buy it.

My CS professor just didn’t show up for work today apparently. That’s cool. Not like it’s the second to last lecture and he just gave us an assignment with very little details that’s due tomorrow. 🙁 It’s not really strictly due tomorrow. Don’t worry. I r just complaining for fun.

My calc class was cancelled today because my professor was sick.

The girl from my home town that goes here is dating my freshman biology lab partner.

Random girl from my calculus class is secretly dating a guy that went to high school w/ 8.

odd.

I’ve been using Google Reader for a while now. It let’s me see things faster… waste time more efficiently. Anyway, I just put a little thing on the blog, it’s down there under all the pictures of 8 and I, that will let you see the things I’ve deemed cool most recently. I haven’t deemed anything to be cool yet, but just you wait. Just forewarning it’ll probably most be Daily Show and the Colbert Report. 😛

Also, I got the care package mother. Thx a bunch. I think I’ll still have to buy food before the school year is over, but this will allow me to procrastinate a little longer.

Mother has requested a poetry post, so here it goes.

*clears throat*

There once was a man from Nantucket…

No no. Hmm…

Sin and squalor don’t always mix
this is certainly true
For if you’re focused on your house
you’re not focusing on you.

It’s not deep but it pretends to be, it’s not pretty, it uses inproper grammer in order to rhyme… that’s poetry. What do you want, I’m a bio major.

I got two tests back in the last two days. I did well on both. Could have done better obviously, but I think they both are A’s, so not much better. One cog neuro, the other cs.

There is what could be the last game night happening tonight. I’m hoping the LRPC can do some finals week get together thing, but figuring out times for such things is difficult. I’ll make a stab at it at least.

This Saturday the college is showing Serenity for free. I must go. Weee… I’ve had a bit of a Serenity dry spell. It’ll be good to see the movie again.

Tomorrow I have to go to some club leader meeting thing, which is ruining my regularly scheduled Wednesday D&D… so I will scowl a lot tomorrow. 😛 Mostly at ASLC cabinet members who are innocent.

Pat is attempting to be the honored one who picks me up to take me home from college. He might come down a few days early and hang out. It would be cool. He has to ask him mommy first though… so we’ll see.

Ladies…. if you’re looking for a sensitive husband that won’t rape you and give you aids I’d suggest avoiding the south of Ethiopia.

I’m going to do a Gene style review of the next gen consoles post sometime. Depending on how board I am it may actually be pretty good. 😛

Today was the first ever Linfield Geek Games. LRPC had two complete teams, with club members in 5 teams out of the 10 teams present, w/ 10 members total accounted for. Only 7 though really count. Anyway, my team was 3rd, one point behind 2nd, which was one point behind first… so it was close. We get second on the trivia… because we were asked how many noggin’s in a pint… we got 2nd in the Dunk Hunt event, because John’s a good shot… we got no points in the DDR because Keston didn’t take a fall… and we got no points in the airplane thing… because we suck.

The other team one first in the DDR, because Keston wouldn’t take a fall… and did pretty well in the airplane thing too. They shoulda gotten ballistics… which is the trivia answer that took them out first round.

The competition was pretty harsh. Everything was single chance or single elimination. I wish we had won… it is sad that we did not. I would have won a cool LED name tag. How I would have used it.

I also saw the infamous Macbeth that 8’s been working at for a couple weeks now. I found it pretty boring and very dusty… but it wasn’t all bad. I didn’t think of the acting was overtly bad… just nothing was really any good either. What can you expect? And I got in free cause of my girl.

The CS test that was supposed to be today is now Monday. I have a paper due next Friday. Other than that I just have a bit of calc homework and a bunch of reading to do… and then finals. Three cumulative finals… yippee.

Sounds like I’m going to get a bit of D&D, of what sort is unclear, tomorrow, while 8 is working. Though break for her… but she wouldn’t have had time to play anyway. She has much more homework than I.

So many “…”.

hahahahaha.

I’ll update better sometime maybe. Test and work and such.

I scour the internet for news worthy of my attention. He are the findings of the last 5 minutes.

1) They’re planning to make a World of Warcraft movie. What is wrong with these movie people? You cannot make an MMO into a movie. That’s retarded. I’ll probably have to see it just because, but I don’t think it’s a good idea. I’ll let you know in 3 years or whenever. 😛

2) Jelly fish are cool. I can’t actually watch the video here… but I’m sure it’s not all that exciting. However, since I’m a big science nerd, a fast cellular process w/o a video can still be entertaining.

3) Stargate will never end. Apparently they’re going to make a second spin off and a new movie. I dunno if you know, but it all started with a movie, so it would technically be a new movie. I like the movie idea. If they made it well they could broaden the audience base. And a second spin-off could be good, or total crap of course. It seems like the show is growing really fast. If it becomes a new Star Trek or Star Wars it’s having a better start than either of them did. I guess it’ll never really compare since it’s so new, but it does seem to be what the nerds are turning to in the absence of classics. I guess I should catch up and watch all the seasons I’ve missed so I know if this show is destined to have the Six Seal of Approval. SSA… maybe that should become a regular on the blog.

4) Professor Ford never comes to class on time anymore. He’s been late the last 5 days, averaging about 10 minutes. I estimate that I pay him about a dollar a minute to teach me. He owes me like $100. I don’t have a link because that’s not really a news story. 😛

It’s Mother’s Day soon. I hope you all have plans for making your mother’s happy. If you have any ideas you should just e-mail em to me or something. 😛

He’s still not here. Technically, according to the rules I heard by a Ph.D., one only has to wait 15 minutes for a Ph.D., 10 minutes for a Masters, and 5 Minutes for a BA/BS. He’s had his time. I never leave though, I’m too cheap. 😛

Next year I’m going to be living with 4 other guys. While this is the housing situation I was hoping for, and while (hey, I see him coming, professor Ford that is) the 4 guys will be much less trouble than the average 4 guys, some problems do come to mind when I think ahead. I think we’re only going to have 1 fridge, and I think it will be filled with 4 gallons of milk and about 10 tons of cheese. I’m contemplating a group food system. It is not ideal however, since I eat more cheaply than them probably. Maybe not… these guys are pretty frugal.

I should pay attention now that he’s here. 😛

I’ve spent all day doing homework pretty much. I didn’t wake up until like 2 though. And did spend about an hour at Wildstock (that’s like a little fair w/ bands my college does). I got free food.

Yesterday I didn’t do any homework. We had a bit of a gathering in honor of Keston’s b-day. It wasn’t a party because about half of the people we know are in or working tech for MacBeth, which means they’re in the theater all night every night for the two weeks. It was ok though, cause with the number of people we had we could play board games and such. Played some Hecatomb too. I got totally clobbered in Puerto Rico. That was swell.

I played some d20 Modern DMed by John. It was fun. I don’t know the system, so I just made a character on the fly, with very little planning, and worse stats than everyone, but it worked out ok. The play was quite exciting… role playing modern is easier. The plan is to play again tomorrow, which is why I need to do all my homework today. 😛

I have a test on Monday which is what most of this homework is about. Cognitive Neuroscience. The topic’s we’re covering are not really my test forte. I think it’s because they’re complicated, and consequentially we (the human race) don’t really know anything about them. So even though we don’t know anything I’m supposed to remember all the stuff various people think might be true. I have a hard time forcing myself to remember conjectures, and then all the reasons for and against each conjecture. 😛 I’ll be fine though, it could be much worse… could be philosophy. 😛

8’s in the theater… she’s one of those Macbeth workers I was talking about. So not only do I have time to study, I have time to update the blog.

Some of my friends are already on Summer Break. They are lucky. I have two full weeks of classes left and then finals. In those two weeks I have two tests and a paper. I think I have both the test and the paper due this upcoming Friday. Weeee. And then all those cumulative finals I love so much. 😛
