So I guess I&#8217;ll type random thoughts for a while and see what that does.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t get it to me until last Friday.  So, naturally, I&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;t ship it.  I didn&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend in Six there was a LAN party and some D&#038;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&#8217;d never played before, but it was mostly the usual stuff.  Was the most successful CS LAN I&#8217;ve ever attended though.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday and Sunday I had D&amp;D, different campaigns.  Saturday was an Eberron game Dimitri started like the second week of school that hasn&#8217;t met since, but I like quite a bit cause it&#8217;s Eberron.  It&#8217;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&#8217;t played since then.  I still had my character sheet, and 8&#8217;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&#8217;s.  All the old ones.  Good times and such.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s always hard for me to do the first of anything, and this is made more difficult by the fact that the experiment isn&#8217;t really finished.  We should be done, but something wasn&#8217;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&#8217;t be too bad I hope.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t actually use and so don&#8217;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&#8217;m ready and telling me I should study and stuff.  (This is, of course, not true. I&#8217;m a rock and unaffected by those around me.)<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;m not being stoned for eating a snack.  Anyone else hear about that?  Can&#8217;t find the link anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been lying in bed trying sleep for about an hour now because I have class at 9 tomorrow, but it&#8217;s not working.
