In response to Greg, Arizona has its own timezone, since we don’t do DST (check the Windows date and time settings… you’ll see an AZ timezone). It just happens that we’re synced with pacific right now.

Yeah so I’m home, I guess. Been bored as hell all day. There’s no one around… all the interesting people are either too busy for me or are in school since they graduate high school this year.

What have I done today… I woke up at around 10, had food, went back to sleep, had lunch, went back to sleep, just woke up again (around 2:30). How incredibly productive. Meh.

Fear the horror that is snakes walking to the sky. Blame Ian and Tim.

To-do list:
-Center for Outreach website
-Student Wars: Hijinks
-Student Wars: Booooth (tenative title)

How much you wanna bet I won’t even get half of that list done in the time I have here? :-P
I’m also thinking about hacking wordpress so it lets me have userpics (much like LJ) in every post. Wouldn’t be that hard to do, I think.

…
I want to go back to Pittsburgh and be with people. People make me happy.

Well, I arrived in Phoenix. It’s nice, now both ends of my bi-semesterly flight are furnished with free wireless, so I can surf the web in the airport at both ends. I think I win.

The flight arrived 40 minutes early. Waiting for parents because they probably won’t arrive for another 30 minutes. I love how Southwest is always early. Wheee. I don’t think any Southwest flight I’ve ever been on has been delayed… the opposite actually, all except one have arrived early (usually around 10-15 minutes early).

Um yeah, but in any case, I think it’s really weird how I don’t consider this home anymore. I dunno… I think I post this every semester when I go home, but still. I feel more like I’m going on vacation for a coupl eof months than going home… and I’ve spent far more of my life here than in Pittsburgh, so I don’t know why.
I just typed that entire last paragraph without looking at the keyboard or computer screen. Wheeee. And that sentence. I love touchtyping.

Um yeah, I’m just stalling for time until my parents arrive, I guess. the only thing that makes me sad is that AIM/MSN/etc can’t get connections in this airport… it’s a special network thing or something that you have to do stuff to to get it to work, and you can’t do that in a chat client, so meh. No big deal though.

Stall stall stall… um… I miss people already. Most of you didn’t give me goodbye hugs :( Oh well. I’ll see you all again next yea (and some of you this summer too).

I wonder if I should switch the journal date to AZ time or not… probably not, because I’m going back to Pittsburgh in a couple weeks anyway. Meh. People just subtract 3 hours from the timestamp times to get the time here.

Yeah okay this is stupid now. Battery’s almost drained anyway (this thing gets the most horrible battery life of any computer I’ve ever seen), so I should go and maybe pick up my baggage or something. Yar.

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?
