Finals #4 and #5 done

Posted on by

Well, there goes the semester. Didn’t quite go out with a bang like I wanted (has there ever been a semester where I do?), but oh well.

I think every semester so far, grades have gradually dipped throughout the semester because I get to the point where I don’t care anymore and just turn in shit for assignments. It happened in 80180, 18100, and 213 this semester. I need to stop doing that.

Grades for four of my six classes are known. 213 should be an A (if it’s not, something is wrong, because I have a 92% average from everything with no curve). 312, 62141, and 21301 are all As (confirmed in SIO). That means I only need either 80180 or 18100 to be As to get Dean’s List. Hopefully I was able to do well enough on the finals to get it.

I’m so screwed up. I do fine in school… but I can’t help but feel like I could always do better. I mean, dammit, I would be so sad if I got two Bs this semester… and that’s just incredibly stupid and pompous of me. I need to get a life and stop being such a horrible person.

So yeah, the two finals today went… um… they went, at least. After my “Oh, I nailed that exam” reactions in 213 and 312, and finding out that I got Bs on both, I’m going to stop predicting my performance. I’ll just say that I should have done better than I did… I should have felt more comfortable with the material than I did. I should have made fewer mistakes on both. Oh well.

Last night was an amazing food party with 8’s amazing cooking. Yum yum yum.

Um… what else… I am incredibly emotional right now for reasons (mostly) unknown. Finals == stress. Gaah. I’ve gone from completely ecstatic to crying at Alisa’s apartment for an hour to completely ecstatic to sad in the past 2 days. I must be PMSing. Meh. At least now they’re done, and I don’t have to worry about them again. I still feel really down right now, and I don’t know why. Gaah. People should give me hugs, especially if you’re people that I won’t see again until next year.

*siiigh*
For once, I’m not looking forward to heading home at all. I want to stay here with people. People make me happy. Lack of people makes me sad. Home means lack of people since everyone’s always too busy for me. Oh well.

I should probably head home to finish packing soon so I can give stuff to Alisa to store for now.
Blah blah blah no one reads this anyway, why do I even bother?

Meh. Slept too much today.

Keith’s parental peoples took me to lunch. Yummy pizza verde had broccoli and spinach and tomatoes and pesto and was amazing and yay. Thank you!!

Then Al-Tim took us to Cold Stone to get ice cream courtesy of his parents and yummy cinnamon ice cream with brownie. Thank you too!!

Then did some studying, helped 8 do shopping for his food party tomorrow, and did more studying and now I’m here.

Wheeee.
*dances*
I am way too hyper/happy/foo right now.

I need to study like hell for finals literal tomorrow/logical day-after-tomorrow. Must do well on 18100 final… :(

More game foo

It is 4 AM. I am, once again, still up. I fail at this whole sleep thing. Meh.

Today was really, really eventful. I am officially obsessed with rasterbation. Last semester was the Matus poster of doom. Today, I rasterbated two pictures of chrisamaphone and pfriedma cluster raving and hung them up in the cluster (pictures will come tomorrow). Thanks to Dan and Alan (Caum) for helping with cutting/assembly.

Then was tons of Starcraft. Played a 3/1 vs 3/1 game, and my team actually won… I’m definetly getting better. Was able to take out two people more or less by myself (Vincent helped with Mike’s base, but I think my guardians could have handled it).

Then was a bit of packing.

Then was cheesecake and other desserts at 7 (the place). Yummy food. Really, really good company. Lots of fun.

8 (Philip) and I then went to Scotland Yard to play ITG, but it turns out they closed at 10 and we got there just as they were closing, so he lost $5 in the machine. Bleh. Stupid CMU… no signs to warn people or anything. Stupid, stupid, stupid. So meh, we ended up going back to 7 and listening to music and stuff, and then went to Underground for foodage.

At Underground, I watched a game of Apples to Apples for a while, and then migrated to watching another game (whose name I forget right now). Was lots of fun, but it lasted over 3.5 hours, so meh.

Tomorrow I MUST study for 80180 with Car. Also might go to the Strip with 8 to get food for the dinner party Sunday night. Wheee. Oh yeah, I should also pack, probably.

Grades for two classes are out. 21301 (Combinatorics) and 62141 (B/W Photo I) are both As. Hope 213 is an A… Hope 312 is an A… if so, I can pretty much go into my two finals on Monday stress-free.

Today was an amazing day.
Happy happy dance wheee.
*dances*

Hm… it is 4:30. I probably should have gone to bed 4 hours ago.
I’m hearing birds chirping outside. Perhaps that’s a sign that the sun will soon come up. Meh.

Today was tons of fun… slept, got up for lunch, slept some more, went to psychologist, went to Tims’, ate more, went back to Tims’. Whee.

Went to cluster to play Starcraft around 11:30. After a few quick games (including a massively horrible one of capture the flag, where people built insane amounts of cannons/colonies), I played Risk. When I left just now, I was winning… I controlled all of Asia, Australia, and Africa… I had eliminated two players, and Ivan and Julie controlled North America and South America, respectively. I really should sleep though.

Work is coming along on Student Wars: Hijinks. Hope people actually play it when I get it released… meh.

The weather today was horrible. Started raining before I got up, rained all day, just now stopped. The wind made it worse… had to hold my umbrella at strange angles to prevent wetness. Bleh.

Psychologist is weird… I mean, she’s nice and amazing, but I don’t really know what I was expecting out of it, and I’m not sure if I want to continue sessions or not. Oh well, I have until I get back in the summer to decide.

Something must be wrong with me… today, I had 2 full dinners and was still hungry. Ordered Chinese delivery (mmm shrimp and veggies), and then had a huge bowl of pasta (mmm cheese sauce). Then I stole a slice of mrwright’s pizza. Now I’m sitting here and I’m starving. Meh.

Bed. Tomorrow is studing for my last two finals, working on website, and working on Student Wars. Wootage.

Life is good, but I can’t help but feel like I’m missing something.
Oh well.

GAAH STORAGE

Posted on by

CMU Storage is the stupidest thing ever. Only open for two hours… only open at select times… not nearly enough room in some of the places… no easy way to get boxes to the storage places…

Yeah so, last night Keith and I put our boxes in storage. My arms *still* hurt. Blah. I wanted to store in Donner. I got boxes there. Then it filled up. Keith and I had to move the boxes from there up to Hamerschlag. Suckage.

Had the most amazing Japanese food last night… a little on the expensive side (the most I’ve spent on a meal in forever), but it was worth it. Mmmmm. Soooooo good.

I’m so behind on everything I have to do… which right now means studying for 18100, studying for 80180, working on the Center for School Outreach website, and relaxing. Meh. Psychologist at 4.

This song is great. Yay for FFVII: Advent Children soundtrack!
