I’ve been lying in bed trying sleep for about an hour now because I have class at 9 tomorrow, but it’s not working. So I guess I’ll type random thoughts for a while and see what that does.
Today, technically, is Columbus day which apparently means the post office will be closed. This affects me because I have to send a book back to Amazon. I ordered the book on the first day of classes and they didn’t get it to me until last Friday. So, naturally, I’ve already purchased the more expensive paper back version that came in 3 weeks after class started to the campus bookstore. I only bought the campus version after Amazon e-mailed me telling me that they weren’t going to be able to make their shipping estimate, and that I had to confirm that I still wanted it later, or they wouldn’t ship it. I didn’t confirm it, but apparently they did manage to obtain my book before the official cut off for me getting off the hook. So now, according to my research, if I box it up all pretty and pay the shipping they’ll refund me my $105. I did the boxing thing, but I have to wait for the post office to be open, which is hardly ever around here.
This weekend in Six there was a LAN party and some D&D. The LAN party was a school function this time, not the classic Ody LAN. There were quite a few people there, it was quite exciting. I played a game I’d never played before, but it was mostly the usual stuff. Was the most successful CS LAN I’ve ever attended though.
Saturday and Sunday I had D&D, different campaigns. Saturday was an Eberron game Dimitri started like the second week of school that hasn’t met since, but I like quite a bit cause it’s Eberron. It’s me and noobs, although now I think John and Keston are in it too. Sunday we started up Ravenloft, which is awesome. We played it quite a bit 2 years ago, but haven’t played since then. I still had my character sheet, and 8’s, so that was swell. Since the campaign is from 2 years ago the players are 8 and I, John, Dimitri, and Mike. Keston DM’s. All the old ones. Good times and such.
I have the first lab write up of my MCB class due on Wednesday. I have tried a couple times to start work on it but have failed. It’s always hard for me to do the first of anything, and this is made more difficult by the fact that the experiment isn’t really finished. We should be done, but something wasn’t working right so we dunno if we have actual results, or what the nature of our lack of results is. So hopefully that will be cleared up in class tomorrow. 6 pages, shouldn’t be too bad I hope.
My Senior Comprehensive Exam is 8 days away. About time to start memorizing those things that they will probably want me to have memorized but that I don’t actually use and so don’t already know, like taxonomy. Mother and possibly other people are coming down for family weekend, which is this weekend, so that will make for a nice excuse not to study while at the same time hopefully raising my anxiety because everyone will be asking if I’m ready and telling me I should study and stuff. (This is, of course, not true. I’m a rock and unaffected by those around me.)
Mother and 8 will probably team up to take me suit shopping or something which will be fairly horrible. I have to dress up for this thing, which I think is cruel and unusual. But at least I’m not being stoned for eating a snack. Anyone else hear about that? Can’t find the link anymore.
