Realizations

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

The following are (in no particular order) a few quips that have been idling in the back of my brain over the past week or so:

  • They’ll delay school for ice only when your first class starts 10 minutes after the delay ends.
  • Valentine’s Day makes people mad. This was obvious to begin with, however I feel the need to reiterate this point until everyone gets it and just gives up.
  • New Romantics were the 1980s equivalent of Emo kids. Bad hair, tight pants, sad lyrics.
  • Warm air rises and cold air sinks. This is noticeable while sitting on the floor when it’s 16 degrees out with light snow.
  • The amount of slacking a person does is directly proportional to how much work he/she has to do.
  • No matter how hard you try, you can’t completely avoid gossip. You might take the high road and try not to participate, but in the end, we all like poking our noses in other peoples’ business.

And now I must return to the land of super-engineering-homework-death (plus plus)! Hooray!

Why is it…

What an Interesting Week It’s Been

Friday, October 28th, 2005

This week has been a week of ups and downs for me. Sometime’s I’ve been contented, sometimes nonchalantly cold-shouldered to the world around me. Sometimes I just really haven’t cared, and felt okay with that.

The wierd thing is - everything just seemed to work out. My radiothon show last week just fell together and it was my best one yet, (this week sucked, fyi). I beat a bullshit disciplinary charge that seemed like it was going towards guilty. Tuesday night, I had forgotten to do course request, then at the last moment I worked out an alright schedule.

Then I had a whole host of signals homework to do, and was overly distracted and couldn’t focus, then a friend IM’s me and tells me to come over, so I quickly finish the homework; today I get the homework, and it’s one of the highest grades I’ve recieved in signals so far. Then I moved my car, when every other lot was being cleared for football parking, and lose my parking space, but I have been parking all around town and nobody’s ticketed or towed me (yet - *knock wood*).

I guess I’m just finally getting used to the workload. It seemed like for a while the best way to get it all done was to plow through it, ignoring everything else, but I guess I’ve since been burned out on that. Now it seems if I just have fun while doing my work, then set definite “I’m done” times, and have fun thereafter, I work better and learn more. Speaking of learning, it seems like my teachers have also been teaching more, so I think that might be some of it too.

I just really feel…strange. Not my normal self. I feel like I’m not working hard enough. Oh well. This post lacks any kind of cohesion to begin with, so I’m going to stop now.

Emo time’s over kids - remember….Emo’s still illegal in the country ;-)
