Work & Depression

Hmf. 10 hour shifts aren’t fun. Especially when you start before the sun comes up and end after it sets. I hate the short days in winter—-I think it makes me depressed.

Oh well, I get tomorrow off!

I’m Home

I’m home.

Hearing Test

I had my end-of-the-season hearing test today. The good news is that I can still hear. Although my scores were a little lower in the higher frequencies (I think). They think this is mostly a result of being right in front of the cymbals during our indoor rehearsals. Go figure.

Scarves & Relationships

Scarves
Do chicks dig scarves? It just is weird because I’ve gotten a couple compliments from people about my scarf (which I love). Oh, and some random chick said hi to me when I was walking across the bridge (the way she said it makes me think she thought I was somebody else.. but eh?).

Relationships
I don’t understand why people in relationships talk different to their partners. Ok, let me explain. It just seems that they talk in a different voice or make different noises or something. It seems like you’re talking to a puppy or something. It’s weird and it bugs me. Shouldn’t your boy/girlfriend be someone you can talk normally with? I don’t see any old people talking like that to their spouses. I guess Dave and Ainsley are dating again or something and eh, weird. I mean really, if you are dating, then there is some sort of bond between you and you don’t need to treat each other like little puppy dogs. Any comments?

Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving went well. I love Turkey! Yummy! Today I went to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned… it went well except for the fact that I don’t floss. Oh Well. I worked the rest of the day (need to make some money and stay on the payroll). The break has been nice but I’m looking forward to getting back to school.

I’ve been using MP3Sushi to listen to the music stored on my computer at the dorm while I’m at home. It was a breeze to setup and works well. I just love the way OS X handles executables with the Blah.App really just being a folder that you can store lots of files and subprograms in.

I hope everybody else has had a great thanksgiving and best of luck on everybody’s finals that are coming up!

Bridge

Bridge is a wonderful card game. Except nobody in the dorms ever wants to play/knows how. At least I’ve found some people who will play 500 .. which is still kinda fun. Whatever, at least it’s not Euchre which is the worst card game ever.

Oh, so I play bridge on Yahoo! Games occasionally, which is fun, but people there suck. I mean, you don’t open 1 Spade with 7 high card points.. you just don’t.

Sigh. I should go study for my math test.

Spring Semester

Yay for Tuesdays and no class until 11:15am! Woot woot! Oh, and Thanksgiving break is so close I can almost taste it. Midterm tomorrow in Math :bummed:. Oh well, there’s not much I can do about it.

So some of you may (out of some sick curiosity) be interested in what classes I’m taking in the Spring:

  • Math 5285H – Honors Algebra II – MWF 9:05-9:55
  • Math 5251 – Codes,Fields,Curves – MW 3:35-5:00
  • Chem 2302 – Org Chem II – MWF 10:10-11:00
  • Phys 2601 – Quantum Phys – WThF 12:20-1:10 & T 1:25-2:15
  • Phys 2605 – Quantum Phys Lab – T 12:20-1:10 & T 2:30-5:30
  • Mus 3410 – U Band – MTh 6:30-8:00pm

Or you might want the graphical layout:

Which all in all amounts to 19 credits. Not to mention 5-10 hours of research per week and maybe some tutoring.

Thanksgiving Break

I’m totally psyched for Thanksgiving Break. The semester is really starting to wind down and I’m having a hard time staying focused. Math midterm on Wednesday —- arg. Then a week off (from midterms) and two more midterms during the last week of classes.

Hope everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
