Gah, I ended up with 42% on the nerd test (read 58% nerd pure). I guess i shouldn’t really expect any less being a computer science major.

Just enjoying a little bit of somewhat free-time. I’ve trying to get some work done now, so next week won’t seem quite as hellish. Our algebra midterms were handed back this morning, I did quite well, although I made a couple stupid little mistakes.

Not really a whole lot going on, just enjoying having no assignments due this week. Managed to get laundry done, dishes cleaned, room cleaned up and a bit of work done to boot tonite. Pretty effective evening I must say. Conform will be updated shortly, I have another image to go up. Received a call today regarding a job application i put in a week or two ago, it will probably take place later on this week. I’m also going to be doing a little bit more freelance webdesign, just a little page for someone.

I’ve seen a couple movies recently, finding forrester and gods and monsters. Finding forrester was essentially good will hunting with an english prodigy instead of a math prodigy, sean connery instead of robin williams and a poor black kid instead of a poor white kid. It was still a pretty good movie though, I enjoyed watching it. It expresses some similar views that I have about a lot of the bullshit that tends to permeate the world of analyzing english literature, sometimes you just have to enjoy what was written and not destroy your impression of it by picking it apart. Gods and monsters was pretty good too, Ian McKellen does a great job acting as usual, and Brendan Fraser’s role in the movie was surprisingly well done compared to a lot of the people he tends to portray in movies.

It’s 10:30 now and common sense dictates that I should probably go to bed.

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.
