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.

Assignments here, quizzes there, lots of work everywhere. Bad openings too. Last week is done, no assignments to do this week, although a couple to start. There’s a test tomorrow night that shouldn’t be too bad. It’s the part of calculus I like, actually doing math equations, rather than analyzing graphs and describing functions and whatnot. I deffinitely like the equation aspect of math much more.

There has been various job interviews interspersed with the work, no luck yet. I have to get out and get more resume’s in, I need a job for the summer.

Hell.

Haven’t written much in the last few days. I go through writing phases of some sort, sometimes I like to write a lot, other times I just forget about it all together. It looks like it’s going to be another hellish week, three assignments and a quiz. I half of my algebra assignment done at the moment and a decent chunk of my computer assignment finished. That leaves economics and my calc quiz. There’s a possibility of getting the quiz out of the way tomorrow tuesday night instead of wednesday, but it would involve me studying tuesday afternoon. That way, I could go to the golden words masthead meeting. I had an interview on the weekend and I was made one of the new webmonkies for the paper, the guys in charge of the online version.

Lots of school. I had a job interview on friday that I think went pretty well. I have another one tuesday aft. It looks like there’s a decent chance of me sticking around here this summer. Time to finish off a bit of work and get to bed.
