three motherfucking weeks off from school. if that isn't a gift from...like...cal poly, then i don't know what is. three weeks of chillin...and driving 45 minutes a few times a week to go to work, but that's not bad. i like driving...driving myself deaf that is! haha. see, that was a pun on the word driving, which has multiple meanings. if you'll indulge me for a second, i'd like to explain. when i'm driving, i have my music as loud as i can without it hurting my ears, so i am also driving (get it?) myself deaf. that's some funny shit, right there. man i amuse myself. next thing you know i'll be saying things like "douche nozzle" to myself and having fits of hysterics.
i picked up my guitar and started playing again. i should have done this regularly since i got it and i'd be approximately one fuckload better at it. i'm noticing that i'm a little better since the last time i played but not much. i really enjoy it but for some reason i don't have the motivation to practice regularly like i have the motivation to go to the gym or study (i'm not really motivated for that either but so far i haven't needed to study excessively).
well, my finals were a little harder than i anticipated...i'm ashamed to say i'm not sure if i got an A or a B on the comp sci final. the first part was done on the computer and the second program took me so long because i did it the wrong way...nico, if you read this, i was right about the word "kludge," and that's what i did to my program. it was so ugly and inefficient because i fucked up and had to change a big part of it and it took lots of time so i had to hurry. at least it worked...and i finished with a good amount of time before the end of the first half of the final. and when i say a good amount of time, i mean no more than 2 or 3 minutes. on the written part, there's one part i know i fucked up on slightly and then i was half of a fifth of a problem away from finishing when time was called. that is why my grade is uncertain at this point.
the calculus final, which i feared the most and studied for least after comp sci, was for sure the easiest. i know i got an A on it. so depending on my final grade in comp sci i'll either have two A's and a B or two B's and an A. i think i can live with that. the effect of a B is really only in my head, so if i don't have a problem with it then i should be fine.
i'm definitely enjoying life at cal poly. the people are chill as hell, the weather is beautiful, and...the network is fucked. i haven't pinged under 500 to a cs server in a month. hopefully those motherfuckers fix it before i get back, or they'll be dealing with my unchecked fury. the reason for this is that i bought a new motherboard (asus a7n8x-x), ram (512 pc2100 ddr), and video card (radeon 9800 128 ddr) and i'm going to want to be able to play doom3 (which is coming out soon!) with reckless abandon using the full capabilities of our T3.
colin dowling, of all people, e-mailed me today and challenged me to a game of ping pong. now i haven't played in awhile, but back in my day (all of two months ago) i was kicking people's asses left and right, so it should be an interesting match. colin, i'm coming for you.
this has to be a record times two for post length.
