Um…
So I’ve been home for a couple of days
Nothing particularly interesting to report to say, but I figured I’d make a post so people know I’m not dead.
Wheeee?

Finals #3 and #4 done
My last two finals went much better than my first two. Algo this morning actually wasn’t all that terrible. I especially liked the FFT problem, and I’m fairly confident about most of my answers. Numerical methods was a bit more difficult than I was expecting (no proofs this time though!), but still quite doable. I feel like an idiot for adding 2 -1 + 1 and getting 0, and having to ask her if there was a problem with the question because my answer wasn’t making sense and I couldn’t find anything wrong with my work.
I like this picture… props to John for choosing a good location.
Relatedly, my final crit for color photo on Wednesday went really well. I’m really proud of some of the images… I’ll post the best of it in art eventually.
Yesterday in KoL, I beat the sorceress and farmed the hell out of the Crimbo areas. It’s amazing how I was able to start the day with 45 adventures, then free the king and get access to my food and drink again, and earn another ~200 adventures off of chow meins and crimbo booze. Yar.
I suppose I should finish packing and sleep soon.
Final #2 done
I will say that I have never done worse on an exam in my life.
8 questions on the final. I couldn’t answer 3 of them (basically ended up writing down the problem statement and never quite doing any more), and I BSed most of 4 of the remaining 5 (made equalities such as setting a summation equal to an integral with no explanation or made assumptions that were actually false under most circumstances). I’ll be incredibly lucky to get a 50% on this exam.
It’s 30% of my final grade, so I hopefully won’t fail the class… I just won’t do nearly as well as I had hoped (B-range).
Two finals down… two exams that I did horribly horrible on.
Why am I so stupid? It’s not that I don’t study and that I don’t understand the concepts, necessarily… I just completely blanked on most of the problems.
I feel like shit now. I think I’m going to go back to sleep and then study for my finals tomorrow so I don’t bomb them as well.
Final #1 done
Recently, a giant rasterbated poster of Aument appeared hanging from the 6th floor in the Wean lobby…
and one of Santa Klaus appeared hanging in the entranceway to Wean Hall
I know absolutely nothing about the mysterious appearances of these posters. Nothing at all.
Um… so last night was the graphics final, and it went rather terribly. Let’s not talk about that. At least it’s over.
Last night was also the semesterly Almost Midnight Breakfast. There was much yummy food. I also played pinball and ITG with chrisamaphone, klipper, and alex. Was good.
Three more finals this week, and a crit in about 2 hours. I really should start studying for my other finals so they don’t go as poorly as graphics.
Blar.
Whee
Ben took me and Ev out today for the most awesome sushi lunch/dinner ever. There was raw live scallop, whitefin tuna sashimi, king salmon sushi, and eel sushi. Ben is the most awesomest awesome ever.
Then we went back to his place and watched the most horrible movie ever: Undead. It was labelled as a “no-budget” film and showed it in its extremely bad acting and plot. However, it still managed to be one of the best movie experiences I’ve had in a while, probably because it was so cheesy. Yay for heads being punched off and blood splurting everywhere! Yay for little girls punching holes through peoples’ heads to grab their brains! Yay for completely nonsensical and illogical actions by all the cast members! Yay for a guy popping guns out of the back of his shirt when, moments before, he had been completely naked (kinda makes you wonder where he was hiding the guns…)!
Things to do tomorrow:
Study for graphics final, choose and print images for the color photo final, buy Christmas presents.
Perhaps this means I should go to bed early tonight so I can wake up early and get stuff done.
Cluster card game is playable. I will eventually have enough cards such that there are no duplicates in the deck. However, it’s currently playable if you print 6 copies of each card. Try it out and send me feedback!
I keep having the weirdest dreams, and wake up meaning to document them… and then I fall back asleep and, by the time I wake up again, I’ve forgotten them. One the other day involved farming Wean for Crimbo items (a la Kingdom of Loathing)… Whee.
My graphics program is done, and worked relatively well. You can choose how many BOIDs you want in the scene. Here’s a scene with 1000.
Life is full of busy right now. Blar. Looking forward to break… just gotta get through the next 5 days.
Fishing for cpride and Evan? (With a “net”)
