That would be one exam out of the way, four left to go. I guess it’s easter now. On campus, you live in a bubble, totally oblivious to the outside world. Easter, what? I’m studying for exams.

They have a pot labeled extra strong coffee in the cafeteria, probably some correlation with the amount of studying going on. I’m drinking coke out of my coffee cup right now.

I’ve been listening to a lot of pearl jam while studying. I don’t have my CCR disc’s around here, those were good to listen to as well. You can leave em in, let em play and not worry about having to skip tracks. I could make a playlist in winamp of music that I wanted to listen to, but that would involve effort.

That stupid paperclip in microsoft office has it’s own website. Oh, hello sir! You work for microsoft don’t you? You do what? You run the paper clip’s personal website? I would suggest jumping out that window over there.

Here’s an interesting mathematical problem, makes you think. It’s essentially game theory, or prisoners problems that we’ve touched base on this year in Economics and Psychology.

Study, study, study. Exam’s are approaching rather quickly, and I haven’t done enough studying for them yet. We don’t have any classes this week, so basically I’ll be holed up in my room all week pounding away at the books. I need to find a job as well, I need to make money.

Some scenes that were cut from the phantom menace.

Hacking away at my Java assignment right now, the code is coming to me better than it used to, still not great though. I’m considering doing some laundry, i’m kind of in dire need of clean clothes.

Time for more studying and assignments. Quiet hours have started, essentially no loud music or yelling unless it’s between 5pm and 7pm. I’m at the far end of the hallway, kind of away from the stairwells and people who complain. At this end of the hall, it’s the loudest around 2 in the morning because everyone else is asleep and doesn’t hear us. We all have a tendency to stay up late.

To commerate April fools day, the upper year engineers always play some sort of prank on campus. They didn’t do it yesterday, I’m assuming because it was sunday. Today, you can see the tail end of a small plane sticking out of the clock tower on grant hall. It’s kind of the central building on campus, so it’s noticable. A couple of years ago, the replaced the clock on the tower with a digital clock.

I went to bed fairly late last night / early this morning. I was hanging out with people from the paper, had a good night overall, lots of fun. We started playing Contra on the original nintendo system, we finished it. It’s a really easy game to beat, I remember finishing it as a kid. I still enjoy playing it at any rate. Staying up late made me sleep until mid-afternoon, which doesn’t really matter that much if the weather outside is shitty.

Whipped off a new layout this evening after my math test. It’s nothing special, I just needed a change. I don’t really know how long it will last, perhaps a few months due to the approaching exam season, maybe a few days.

It’s a sorry state of affairs when you have to start banning parrots from the bar.
