Alright, there was the Networks midterm on wednesday night, it was open book — i did a lot of research during the test. I think i did alright. I also had an assignment due for Networks this morning, it was writing a simple mail client. It wasn’t really that hard. And thus the week is done. I got the algorithms test back today, I passed, did ok, but not great.

Today is Halloween, the day/night when freaks get along alright with the rest of society. I don’t really know what I’m up to. There’s a bunch of keg parties and shit that I know about and there’s always The Scherzo, they have a show going on tonight, it should be good fun. I had office hours this aft, the office contains left alcohol from the cresting party. Yea!

With that I’m done. If I have something more productive to say, I’ll let you know. I’ve been trying to update the sidebar links more often, so try that shit out.

I was looking through the slideshow off this page and noticed that Bush appears stupid/confused in pretty much every picture. I think that’ s why nobody likes him, despite almost getting impeached, Clinton had this endearing quality, he could also look angry and concerned without looking confused.

The keyboard is important, so I had to rush out and buy one this morning. It was the only time that I was going to be able to get it today, well maybe after five. I also realized that my keyboard held two of my usb ports and that I now really need to purchase a usb hub. Anyway, I decided not to go with the cordless variety of keyboard (you should really have a wired one around all the time as backup). I picked up a Logitech iTouch from KCP. It functions on a mac, unlike most of the Microsoft variety. The keyboard worked without any drivers, although I needed to get the Logitech control centre so I could map a key to the eject button, as my computer is lacking one. Whee, test in two hours.

You know what’s awesome? Studying. You now what’s even more awesome? Studying with a cup of coffee on your desk and proceeding to spill it all over your textbook and keyboard. The end result? That would be a keyboard with no functioning keys (or a malfunctioning command key that messes everything else up) and a stained algorithms textbook. Oh, I’m also going to have to pickup a new keyboard in the morning, it’s kind of a necessity. I have class all afternoon, plus the test to study for and write. Bah.

Need cheap dating ideas? My favourite:

If one of your interests is painting, spend an afternoon beside a scenic river bank or a secluded area and paint together. Afterwards you could donate the paintings to a nearby retirement home.

Holy fuck, why can’t I accomplish anything. I have very little desire to open my Algorithms textbook right now. Not that algorithms can’t be fun, I just don’t feel like working with them right now. But I have a test tomorrow, which means I better get in the right kind of mood or I’m going to screw myself.

On the plus side of this hellish week, we managed to get out of the paper a little after 2am last night, which was cool. I think that’s the earliest we’ve been out this year, not including issues from last school year.
