Yawn

Now is really the time that I should consider going to sleep. Actually, if I go to bed now I could get up at 8:30 with 8 hours of sleep and do... well, pretty much nothing. I really should've tried to get more on my math homework, since I couldn't turn it in all weekend, but I just can't seem to understand it. I suppose I could've asked someone on my floor to help me, but the usual someone I ask is pretty condescending sometimes, and also has occasionally given me wrong answers. Grr. Grr especially to calculus, which I have until Thursday at 10:30 to figure out. I'm not too worried about my French, or my last Media Asthetics paper... it's just this blasted calculus stuff.. Hopefully since this Tuesday is all review, I'll get the hang of some of the more recent stuff... I feel pretty comfortable with the ealier stuff, even the delta epsilon proofs. But for some reason I can't seem to grasp the proofs of the Rolles theorem and such. And this is certainly all very interesting to you, I'm sure, random person reading this for some sort of voyeuristic pleasure, or perhaps to commiserate. Hehehe.

Oh, I am so happy that I've only got about 6 more days before I get to leave! I wasn't really homesick until recently, and I think Thanksgiving break was a really bad idea, because no in addition to being homesick, I'm twice as annoyed by some people on this floor, because I sort of got used to not having them bother me 24/7. Everyone came back today, and my room was the Grand Central Station of Dewey House, as per usual. I really don't have too much of a problem with it, except for the random freaks that come in and are just generally annoying to everyone because they're evil and cynical and argumentative. Grr.

I'm still wondering how I'm going to get 25 points worth of French done by this Wednesday, but I'm sure I'll find a way to pull it off. There's bound to be some movie I could watch. It's a shame I had to do all those extra listenings to make up for the two I missed at the beginning of the year. I hope that sort of thing doesn't happen to me again next quarter. I can already see that my classes are going to be all screwed up, and I won't even get to register for real until I'm back home. But I'll be up early to take my sister to school, so I should be able to do my adds before most people here are up and... doing things. I really hope I'm able to get into something good. I'm still rather tempted to try Core Bio, despite my schedule. I think I'll just register for that, and hopefully some art class, and then drop one if it's a pain after three weeks. Which is my usual philosophy, anyway. Golly gee... I hope I don't screw up my calc.

This week needs to be over. I don't care that I have to spend the whole winter working, I need a freaking break from this place. Ohh, it's going to be so weird not having people randomly walk into my room. Perhaps I'll have to hire my friends to do that once in awhile. "Hey, could you come over and like... wander in and out of my room randomly, and be vaguely annoying, please? I'll give you five dollars!"

I need to get started on my list of foods to eat. So far it's vaguely fastish foods that I've missed, like my nice cheap west-side pizza, and the lovely west side Chinese food... and submarine sandwiches. Golly gee, why does abandoned useles Y-town have better food than here, eh? Maybe if I put a real effort into finding something I could, but everything around her is so...sketchy. Weirdness. I'm also gonna have to do some driving. A lot of driving. Oh, how I've missed my car. I will give my car a hug when I get home, darnit! Hopefully I'll get to use it when I need it... afterall, my dad has sort of adopted it for working and all. Poor car.

Ok... so, random question. Here I am at the UofC, and I'm still regarded as "the smart one." What the freaking heck? I actually heard that twice tonight. Well..coming from people that may have been vaguely sarcastic. Yeah, we'll just disregard it, as I know I am no longer the smart one, but on the low end of one of many.

Looks like next Monday, when I have to drive my sister to school again, I'll be spending the day catching up with my teachers, that find themselves rather interested in my current affairs. Silly me, for being the one that went away. Hehehe. I'm sure I can regail them with my tales of "Yeah, my roommate is cool" and "oh, there's all sorts of intellectual conversation... like about how it is not only possible to say that Dylan was better than Beethoven, but it's also almost true, and the possible effects of flubber on the digestive system, and the trasitive properties of sarcasm, and high class... umm, we'll leave it at that." Because after that it gets into tonight's conversation after dinner standing in front of BJ talking about... well, talking about how everyone's semen tastes different, and how someday rich snobs will have semen tasting parties. There... better now? I said it. I'll say that my role in this conversation was purely decorative though...I basically stood there going "why? this is really happening.. what the heck? why?" Just so rediculous. Golly-gee.

Wow, this has been rather long and rambling, hasn't it? But I suppose that's completely rational, considering what a weird weekend it's been, and how scatterbrained it's been, and all that lovely stuff. I really hope my new debit card comes soon, since I really sort of need to get my train tickets. I'm sort of looking forward to the train ride home. Not quite looking forward to riding the 28 downtown in the middle of the night, but most of that is just not wanting to stand on the corner of the street at 8:30 or so at night with my luggage waiting for the bus. I think I'll pack light. No reason to bring both bookbags, so I think I'll just take my black one, with all my computer stuff in it. There really isn't a reason for me to lug my precious green one with me, since this winter is for work and leisure reading. Oh, how I need leisure reading. People need to recommend me a list of books, preferably sci-fi/fantasy sort of stuff, though humour and philosophy (within reason) works fine too. Suggest me books, darnit! I'm off to bed now. Mwahahaha!

Eeep!

Gah! I really should've done laundry today... hmm.. Well, guess I'm screwed for the week now! But hehehe... I can make my mom do it! Mwahahahaha! Ect, ect. Yup.. I should definitely go to bed now.

Aaand

Yeah...I really need to go to sleep.

( But look! Randomness! )

Neep!

Who shouldn't be wasting time? Oh, it certainly couldn't be the person sitting laying here on her bed typing when she should be getting ready to go watch a French movie for more points so she doesn't fail French and so she can maybe pull off an above-3.0 average. Ohh, today was the weirdest French class ever. I love the people in my class, because they're just.. cool. It's a shame French requires so much work... I sort of want to stay in it, but it just takes up so much time... silly language requirements! So, anyway... our usual prof wasn't there today, so we got someone random... this random person being one of the lectors, specifically the one I had to do my interview for my French movie with... The one that no one really understands, and who doesn't actually ask any follow-up questions. Makes for a rather uncomfortable class. So, I was sitting there, and everything in our review was getting to the point that it was starting to seem hilarious, so I guess I got caught smirking at something, and she asked me a question that sounded like "qu'est-ce que c'est," but was apparently "qu'est-ce que ton nom?" Of course... I responded "je ne sais pas." Silly giggling ensued until my friend across from me whisper-shouted "What is your name??" So I just continued to look stupid and said "Oh." Then she made me do three questions in a row, all of which I screwed up because I get nervous in surrealist life-is-strange-and-stupid situations like that. By the end the guy next to me was like "Oh, what time is it? This is horrible! Can we go now?" She asked to see him after class... revenge is quick for these French people, methinks.

So, I've taken to randomly filing through people's journals to find interesting quizzes and whatnot. Stumbled across some interesting communities today, including one about dreams people had had about TMBG. Heh, at least they've managed to stay out of mine so far. There were some rather disturbing ones... amusingly disturbing dreams. Involving John Linnell. It's always a comfort to know that any obsession I might be construed as having with him in far overshadowed by most people I've run into online. Woo for moderation!

I also ran across what seemed to be a rather nice discussion community that was all sorts of random topics and no pointless intellectual posturing and arguing. I considered joining, but in these situations I always feel like I have nothing to contribute. Huh. Yeah, I should probably consider catching that bus now. Darn French. Darn it to heck!

Ah, this forces me out of my "no links that show where I'm from" sort of rule. But... oh goodness. Attaching Mr (...) to this picture is just... hilarious. I graduated a year too early! I so wish I was around to enjoy all the randomness going on around town this year. So delightful how it all falls apart without the seniors around! Mwahahaha.

Ah, five more days! Woohoo!

Hehehe

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I look like some sort of deranged Huckleberry Finn right now. I've got my pants rolled up, my tall stripey socks on, and suspenders. Woo!

So, I was party to one of the strangest jam sessions in history tonight... it was two guitars and a basson. I was playing the guitar like it was a bass, and we were playing random songs. It was... strange, to say the least. But definitely fun. Then my roomie got back and I discovered that she had her flute here, but it was one of those evil expensive open-key flutes that I can't play because I'm an incompetant loser. I think when I come back after winter break, I'll bring my bass and my flute. But then, there's the issue of lugging that around on public transportation.

Darn some people in my room right now. Woo.

So...

Hmm... It looks like I've gone from one giant long rambling entry at the end of the day to tons and tons of little ones sporadically thrown on here. Oh well, I think it's possibly a result of my bizarre schedule this week. The French movie wasn't bad.. my friend told me it's worth 15 points, and I certainly hope she's telling the truth, because that would mean I'm pretty much set for the quarter on my extra points. I wish I had time to do some extra credit, because then I might be able to bring myself up to a B+. I can always hope to do well on the final exams, though, I guess. I want higher than a 3.0 this quarter, darnit! I gave up any hopes of a 4.0 early on, but a 3.0 is still honours deans list and all that crap, so why not try for it, eh? I'd be rather upset if I ever got a C here, so yeah, I think I'll hope for a lot of B+'s, and maybe an A-. I think if I really try on my last paper in Hum I might be able to pull off a low A-. And provided my last homework doens't have too much bearing on my final grade, I might just manage an A- in calc, too. I'm not really going to hope for an A- in French, which is sort of sad, but I got off to a horrible start in there, and it was basically impossible to catch up. It's looking like I might end up in there again next quarter, simplly by virtue of the fact that I'm automatically registered for it, but I feel like I'm sort of wasting my time since I think I could probably pass the competancy exam. And I should too, I'm taking it this week, afterall. At least I hope I can fit it in. I should really do it Wednesday, maybe before track practice. I hate track practice already this week, even though I've only got one... it's at the worst possible time this week. Ever. I should come up with some rediculous excuse to get out of it. I need the time to get to my calc problem session, darnit. I need all the calc help I can get right now, so I can understand those blasted Mean Value Theorem things. Gah!

So, the real reason for this post is because I really wanted to listen to music, but I can't really do that without my computer, and I thought about getting something else done before going to bed tonight. So I decided I'd sit down and maybe look at my calc. And then I realized that my calc book was on the other side of the room, and I'd already started listening to my CD, so I didn't want to get up. So then I decided maybe I'd finish up my French. Until I realized that I sort of need my headphones to listen to my French, and they're currently being used for listening to said CD. So I sort of abandoned that, too, because that defeats the purpose of listening to the music. So there you have it.. me - the epitome of laziness logicalized!

Gosh-darn I love this song. Mmmm, aluminum. Hehehe, I should say that to someone. Kind of like how my roomie says "there is no god." whevever anyone says bless you. Not that I'm saying that I should say "Mmmm, aluminum" whenever anyone says bless you. That would make no sense at all. Then again, I think one of my friends decided to say "there is no god" whenever someone says "f*** you" to her. I should speak only in non sequitors tomorrow. Come to think of it, I haven't seen either of the strange guys that say strange things to me today. Huh. They must've disappeared or something. Oh well.

hmm..

I sort of vaguely remember the first day I had my LJ, I made like, 6 posts in one day, and people said they'd created a monster, and it was fun. But I swore I'd never do it again. So, do 8 posts now, in 24 hours, still count even though there was sleep and classes in between? Hehehehe. Don't worry world, this will stop later this week, I'm sure. Unless it becomes some sort of bizarre break from studying for finals and whatnot. I still can't wait to write my final hum paper on the train hope. Let's hope there aren't any stupid rules like papers have to be posted from the university network or whatnot. Then again, that wouldn't be very fair to anyone who lived off campus, would it, hmm? Yeah, take that UofC! Let's just hope that that rule also applies to registering, because that will certainly be happening Monday. Woo, let's hope for open spots in drama classes! And Core Bio! I really sort of don't want to leave my French section, since it's so nice (I think I really lucked out with that class) but I sort of feel like I'll be wasting my time, since I don't have to go any farther than competancy in French. And most people will finish their proficiency abroad (darn them). I should really look into that, and find out if my financial aid actually carries over like people keep telling me it does, even though I could swear I read something that said otherwise. Huh.

You know, for being so numerous, some of these entries really aren't all that short. Especially that last one. It wasn't nearly as short as I'd intended. And now it's been nearly an hour of wasting time, and I still haven't touched my Calc. Not that I have to, which is a nice feeling, but I still should. I thought I had so much more to do this week. I suppose that's a sign that I should be using it to study, or get as ahead as I can on things I need for my finals. I wish I was just done, so I could go home. But a part of me doesn't really want to leave. I wish I could start this quarter over again with a happier attitude. I don't think I'll want to come back for winter quarter (mostly because of how my schedule looks right now, and I still must look for a job) unless work is really bad this winter, and all my friends shun me. Gosh darn, I wish I'd get to see them for more than like, two weeks before I have to go back! Stupid quarter system no coinciding with anything! Let's also hope that by the time this summer rolls around, when I'll actually have time to spend time with them, I'll still have a car, because it sounds like my dad's doing a pretty good job of running my lovely little car into the ground (it's up to 169,000 miles, according to my mom). And it seems to be leaking oil... not that that's a horrible horrible thing to have wrong with it, but my dad won't get it fixed, and it'll turn into something worse and it'll just end up like all the other cars we have laying around our house. Gosh-darn, I bet our house looks even more hillbilly-hickish now. Bah! Another reason I should never catch a carpool home. Despite living horribly conveniently close to rt 80, I don't think I'd want anyone here to know anything more about my tiny little backwoods town and my... err.. living conditions. But ohh, I can't wait until it's summer and I'm back home. I miss all the grass and trees and driving and decent food and time for leisure reading. Hey! No one's recommended any books to me yet! Get on it, you sillies, I've only got 5 more days! Not that I won't be able to read them when I get back.. but it's the concept of the whole thing! I'm evil and impatient and want them now or else I'll throw some sort of pathetic leisure-reading-deprived fit. Nya! Oh I am so looking forward to being mostly useless this winter. But I actually plan on doing my own laundry... just to be nice to my mom, since I've discovered that I don't really mind doing it that much. Still doubt I'll clean my room, though. Huh... I suppose I should really start thinking about what I absolutely need to pack. Clothes, pillows, one of my comforters, computer and stuff... and really that seems like pretty much it. Though I might be ambitious and bring my calc book home and read ahead, because it's something I should do. I should at least try to understand what we've done this quarter, darnit. I guess if I really fall behind in calc next quarter, I'll definitely have to find myself a new major. Hmm. Darn higher math for not agreeing with me. I miss algebra so much! It made so much sense! It was so nice! I want my algebra back! I don't like tearing it apart like this, stupid calculus! DARN YOU, SIR ISAAC NEWTON!

Aaand, on that note, I think I'll conclude this entry, and maybe look at my calc or do my French, like I intended to originally.

Huh... what was the point of this second post, again?
