Meh

Posted on by

Despite today having its high points (unofficially official Pi day, Mark party, finding out we did fairly well on our networks lab, some nice new scores in ITG including my first sightread star, doing stuff with Ben), the weather seems to generally be matching my mood… which is to say, crappy.

Work continues on CMU Adventures. The puzzle to unlock Wean 4 is implemented (even if Wean 4 itself isn’t) which means that Doherty is fully implemented from B level to 2nd floor, and Wean 5 and 7 are both fully implemented. Whee.


Me wants a 10-20 lens…. oh god wide angle sexiness.

I should probably head to bed early, as I’m ready for today to be over.
Blah bad moods.

Busy, busy, busy

Let’s start off on a good note…
I played lots of ITG today.

This makes me very happy (my first ever double star).

Academic things are slightly less good…

Worked a ton on our Networks project today. It is now 3:30 AM and I’m still coding. I probably won’t get to sleep tonight. Meh. I keep feeling bad, like Mike is doing all the work and I’m just writing bad stuff that he has to go back and fix later. I dunno.
I did write various tree-construction functions though (with Dijkstra’s, which is a pain to implement in C, especially when your graph is implemented as a linked list of nodes with ints of destination ids), and I suppose they work, but coding past midnight is probably never good for writing sane code.
Note to self: start the next project sooner, dammit.
I also need to finish up graph theory homework (a rather difficult set) and develop the two rolls of film I shot today. All of this must be done tomorrow (networks is due Thursday, graph theory and film are due Monday).

On top of that, Casino Royale at McConomy was cancelled today. ‘Tis a shame… I was looking forward to it too. At least there was still a bunch of yummy free food at the UC.

Backtracking a bit, I shot flashlight portraits of Alisa and Valerie today in the studio. The digitals came out decently (could’ve been better), but I don’t know how the film came out yet (I have to develop it; see above). Alisa and Val are awesome subjects, and have good suggestions too.


Lots of other stuff has happened since the last post that I’ve wanted to post about, but I can’t seem to remember any of it right now except that my new (awesome) flip phone is here and it makes me happy. It replaces my old phone (alluded to in the previous entry), which was awesome but too small, which was inconvenient for loud rooms (since my mouth was 4 inches away from the bottom of the phone). Whee.
You should poke me for the number, if interested.

There was a Pittsburgh job fair logical yesterday. I went. Not many people seemed interested in me, as usual. Meh. I feel like I have so much potential as a potential intern…. I wish companies would give me a chance. This doesn’t bode well for my getting a job after graduation in under a year.

Back to coding…

New Year’s Meme

First off, because I’m a moron and forgot to thank people…
Thank you to everyone for the Christmas gifts!
Thanks to Apphia for the packs of UFS cards. Maybe we’ll actually make a play session next semester :-P
Thanks to Mars and Dan for the candy. Yum yum. I still have a bunch left for when I get back.
Thanks to Judith for the mug and cocoa. You didn’t have to get me something… after all, you overpay me for the work I do for you. But thank you very much.
Thanks to Ev for Battlestar Galactica season 1. We’ll have to watch it together or something when I get back.
Thanks to Vicki for the Geek book. It’s amazing. Yay equations for calculating if you should date or not!
Thanks to David for the box of Bunny Suicides. It’s also amazing. Yay cute bunnies killing themselves in weird ways!

Also, thanks to a certain someone for all the good times and experiences over the past 2 and a half months. I’d say it’s been like a roller coaster, except it hasn’t. It’s been more like an elevator to the top floor, where you get off and are exhilarated by the sights and experience. Thank you for everything. Most of all, thank you for making me feel the way you do… you make me unbelievably happy, and I hope that I do the same. <3

Wow, that was horrifically, unbelievably corny.
*ack*
*dies*

Meme going around, yeah yeah…
First sentence of each month (along with commentary):

Jan: I fail at social stuff. *sigh* It feels like I never get to see friends here and, despite, everything, I’m growing apart from them.
Still feel that way, somewhat. Bleh.

Feb: No really, this post is all about me.
Moreso than other entries, even…

Mar: The prints for my documentary assignment came out pretty well. Hopefully I did a better job on this assignment than the abstract photography one, so whee.
Well, I got A’s on both, so I guess I did do well.

Apr: Well, I’m posting this from New York… finally decided to spend the stupid $15 to get internet my last night here because I needed to confirm my flight tomorrow and such.
New York was so awesome… I wish I could go back sometime.

May: I havn’t updated in forever. This still isn’t a real update. Wheee.
Wheee!

Jun: My desk area r teh photo-y! :-D
This image was actually the first thing in the entry, but it wasn’t a sentence, so meh.

Jul: Played something like 5 rounds of DDR/ITG today. The guy I played with (Dan) was trying to add new songs to the ITG machine. It didn’t really work, unfortunately (can you imagine playing neoMAX on the machine? droooolllll), but whatever.
Well, now neoMAX is on the machine, so we can play it, and it is all kinds of awesome. Whee!

Aug: Home has been full of busy and lazy.

Sep: Yeah, so… classes have been inte You know, it’s 1 AM… this homework can wait until tomorrow, as can writing a real journal entry.
Zzzzzz

Oct: I should just walk away. Walk away and never look back. But I can’t, and I won’t. Oh well.
And then, 11 days later, we entered a relationship. Amazing how things worked out :)

Nov: I. Hate. Graphics.
I. Still. Hate. Graphics.

Dec: It seems I’m writing in here more and more sporatically. This is probably a good thing.
Eh, I guess it’s a good thing.

Mrrrr

I may be a bad person :(

Ev came over yesterday to hang out. He was supposed to leave at 4:30 so he could get home by 5. Instead, he didn’t leave until around 8, and it’s totally my fault.
Meh.

Today, I was playing ITG with Chris, and he got an amazing score on Pandemonium Expert, and I cleared the screen before he could get a screenshot.
Meh.

I meant to go and work on graphics today during the break between classes and after classes were over, but I ended up playing ITG and then coming home to sleep instead.
Meh.

I’d already spent the alotted part of my monthly budget for non-necessities (covers DDR/ITG, new music from online, cards I want to buy, etc)… and then I ordered more cards (because they were on sale and I really wanted them).
Meh.

I fell asleep this morning in photo while we were watching the Avalon video (it was really interesting too… I really wished I’d seen all of it).
Meh.

I haven’t really had dinner (just a couple bowls of cereal). Our cabinets are full of quick-and-easy food things (like rice-a-roni, pasta sides, pasta, ramen), but I’m so lazy that I don’t even feel up to making any of those.
Meh.

Now I’m sitting here thinking I should be doing graphics or getting a head start on analysis, but doing neither.
Meh.

I really should start getting to bed earlier.

There was a Leah (here for CtFWS). She’s looking good (and distinctly feminine now). :D

Also, life is generally going amazingly.
I wonder if I’m over what Alisa dubs the “honeymoon” phase of a relationship yet.
*ponders*
*is giddy*
*bounces*
Hehe, nope. At least, not completely.
