Apparently, george w bush hangs out with idiots.

It’s 7:30 in the morning and i’m still awake. I went out with the golden words crew, well the guys at first for a boys night out. We hooked up with the girls later at one of the campus pubs. I ended up at my editors apartment with a few other people, it was a lot of fun. Rambling away on various topics of conversation and then we realize that it;s 6:00 in the morning. I left and went to macdonald’s for breakfast. I talked to some homeless people who were drinking coffee, getting away from the outdoors for awhile. It really isn’t that cold out, a beautiful morning.

It was the first sunrise i’ve witnessed while i’ve been here in kingston. I was surprised, our campus actually looks pretty amazing in the early morning light. There’s sunlight streaming through my window. Why would i want to go to bed?

Free, free for a moment, with that feeling that everything is done for a short period of time. There’s nothing due tomorrow, nothing due within the next week, time to catch up on some reading and catch up on some sleep. I passed my computer midterm, that made me happy, my algebra midterm went well today and the two assignments i handed in were well done. Time to be happy. I’m think i’ll sleep for awhile, then clean myself up and go downtown.

My desk is very cluttered right now, it’s attached to the wall and isn’t very computer friendly. I guess they didn’t think about that when they designed the building back in the 60’s. The last post was typed with the keyboard on my lap, which isn’t all that bad, but you’re limited to how far the cord will reach. It made me think that a wireless keyboard would be nice, then I could sit wherever i please and could type with the keyboard behind my head if I wanted to. Although a cordless mouse and keyboard would just be more things to get lost in my various piles. I can imagine myself standing there cursing and trying to find them in the mess.

Dupe dupe dupe. Sitting here trying to study some calculus but it doesn’t seem to be sinking in, i still have an hour or so until the quiz. I essentially finished up all of the computer assignment, there are a few spots i’m not sure about but i’ll have someone look them over tonite. That means there will just be algebra to study for tonite, with the midterm tomorrow morning at 1030.

Algebra midterm tomorrow, algebra assingment due tomorrow, computer assignment due tomorrow, calculus quiz tonite, it makes for a fun time. The algebra assignment is essentially done and i’ve done some studying for the midterm. I’m going to get the computer one done this aft.

To give me something else to do, contributers to conform have been responding rather quickly, hence two updates in one day. It’s something to do for a break from the school work anyway.

Leave it to compaq to actually post an faq message explaining the any key.

Been thinking a lot recently about the future, what I want to do with my life. I think in recent weeks i’ve discovered that computer science isn’t one of things i want to do. It’s not that it’s really that hard, I guess I just don’t like programming. It’s probably good to figure something like this out now, rather than 2 or 3 years from now. At any rate, it’s a lot easier to change my major and what I want to do during my first year. I think I might head into economics, not entirely sure at this point. I might try taking some english courses or history courses next year, so I can start doing some real writing again.

Went and saw traffic saturday night. It was an impressive movie but I’m not sure if it would be up for an oscar nomination in a year with better movies. However Benicio Del Toro deserves all the credit he’s been getting, he did a great job acting in the movie. I spent yesterday at golden words, working on this weeks issue of the paper. It was a lot of fun, I was there until about 2am, the latest I have ever stayed. I was helping out with the layout, it looks pretty cool.

The weather is absolute shit today, you really don’t want to bother going outside. Lots of snow and wind and blowing. Time to work on my algebra and computer assignments and study for an algebra midterm. At least the algebra assignment is a chunk of the studying for the midterm.

Finished off the economics assignment, took a little bit longer than i expected this morning to get the final product done, had something like 25 graphs on the bloody thing. Have some more studying to do this aft for my psych midterm. I’ll be functioning on a low amount of sleep, but it won’t matter too much because i will have been awake for long enough. I had an insane caffine buzz last night around 2 in the morning, you’re supposed to put level teaspoons in the cup, not heaping. Time for some more work.
