A Defused situation

March 31st, 2003

Well, my sister didn’t need a ride home today, but she isn’t around the house. That leaves me to wonder where she is, but I’m sure she will show up sometime soon along with the rest of the family that isn’t home.

It’s a fairly nice day out. I was actually quite impressed. Let’s go through my day so far and basically sum it up for everyone.

I got to the U on time and without issue and went to lecture. I’m really loving what their teaching me in computer science. Some of the stuff is stuff I remember trying to tackle when I was younger, some of it stuff I would never even had come up with unless someone showed me… It truly is amazing… Like for example: did you know you can build a pentium chip out of nothing but 1 step of ‘AND’ gates and 1 step of Or Gates. I guess this is known as the sum-product method. What’s interesting about it is that it can actually be faster than any pentium chip out there now… The downside is, it would also be the hottest, and quite possibly the largest, which might inadvertently slow it down… Ok, so the people at intel know what their doing. Remember that.

It is still cool though. I am thinking about picking up some chips and the stuff you use to write to them to build my own circuits. I think that would be pretty cool and fun to do. I may now just have to triple major with EE, or maybe I’ll stick with the plan to double, but double in EE instead of Biz… who knows.

After class, I went to the computer lab to wait for John to give him a ride home. He never showed, but that’s ok, I could have left anytime I wanted to. In reality, I was in the computer lab 2 hours longer than when I would have left when John got there. I found myself having to much fun with that bomb again, this time doing the secret phase, and then playing around a little more. I got it, which is good, that means 3 ec for me *woot*. I wonder what I got on that other ec quiz.. Oh well. I should end up with a good grade.

I’m debating my plans for tonight. No one is home yet, so I could go find food out somewhere that makes it. I could get a group and go do karoke at St. Pepper’s like Nikki was talking about last week. Then again, I’m not really in the mood to sing. I could make dinner now. I could do some homework. Homework is what I probably will do. I kind of want to enjoy the thrill of calculas again. I’ve completely forgotten how, but I know at some point, I thought it was cool to be able to integrate. I think as long as I am learning stuff I want to learn, everything goes over well.

Well, I still dont know what I’m doing, but I’m going to go anyway. so later post thingy.

Morning

March 31st, 2003

I slept. I slept some more. I even slept some more after that. It was a good amount of sleep.

This is a reminder that I need to submit my bomb after class today. Don’t forget justin… It’s your grade.

I don’t really have much to update so I am going to go eat my cheerios and get ready to go to school. Later.

Balance

March 30th, 2003

Keeping things in check, a fun little game. There have been a good number of people online tonight. I’m hoping to ‘bump’ into someone online tonight, but eh, that’s probably not going to happen. I was also going to upload more pictures tonight, but I don’t think that will happen either. I’ve become very… um.. lazy?

I went to church tonight and for one of those strange weird reasons, I was needed again when I got there. There wasn’t even a reason for me to be at the church. I just went. Sometimes, it seems like I am being pushed somewhere for some reason at just the right time. I wish I understood where I was being pushed, but sometimes… You just have to go with the flow.

I’m driving to the U tomorrow, so that might mean I don’t wake up. I don’t know. I hate physics. I hate calculas. I hate 8:00am.

8:00am is such a bad time. I’m not a real big fan of 8:00pm either. They are both times of day that make no sense to have. They aren’t divisible by 3 so you cant say that a quarter of the afternoon is over or anything like that. They are just there. The only meaning they have in this life is that they are the time in the middle of primetime. and that’s the night version. The morning version is the time we all have to be somewhere, like work, or school. And of course, no one is ever there by 8. We all just as soon be there at 9. And when it comes right down to it.. 10 sounds weird to be going out. It sounds.. Late… so why can’t we just work with the divisible by 3 times of day and screw the rest of them. Then again, time is already not on my side.. I’m not sure I need any less…

MLCR - MLW

March 30th, 2003

So I don’t know what happened. Something completely reversed itself between last night and today.

I woke up this morning not really in the mood to go to church. I went anyway and said good morning to Nikki and Amber. Also purchased some Krispy Kreme Donuts. I don’t remember why, but I did anyway… I suppose it will raise money for the youth group either way.

Sunday school did nothing for me. I didn’t even really want to be there either. I don’t know what it was. The topic was kind of right, but eh… So when it was done, I went upstairs to go to Genesis. I started walking down there and then thought about joining Amber and Nikki in sanctuary, but I didn’t want to do that either. So I got in my car and drove. I ended up at the park again. I did prayer, a little self reflection, and a little listening to christian radio singing along. I then put on my skates and went around the parking lot a few times.

I’ve come to realize I need a helmet. It’s a little scary to be rollerblading on pavement at high speeds and start to lose your balance. I know I can catch myself, but even then, I risk banging my head. Not that I haven’t done that before mind you… I don’t know, it just feels like that’s out of my control, where as, a helmet is in my control. Either way.

I then got back in my car and just kind of stared. I don’t know what kind of chemicals I am missing in my brain and what I need to eat to correct the problem. Perhaps more meat, mean seems to make me happy. Maybe its vegetables, don’t really know. Seems like some kind of imbalance though. After a little while longer of watching about 20 dogs come and go and mark the same post, I decided it was time to head somewhere else. I ended up heading home the long way.

Then it was time to watch cars. Cars went around and around and for awhile my driver was winning again. But again, the yellow flag caught him inbetween pitstops and that set him back again. That’s two weeks in a row. Either way, I like this car he is driving. He is now unofficially 6th in points, moving up… that’s all that matters.

And now I’m here.

An Update from Amber’s

March 29th, 2003

Well here we are, smelling like petroleum here at Amber’s. To make the long story short, she spilled stuff in her garage and we had to clean it up.

I’m in a really good mood, dont know why, i’m in a really good mood.

Ok, bye

No time

March 29th, 2003

Ok, can’t talk long about anything to much because I gotta get to Damon’s but here goes… I rollerbladed and got some of the faster stops down again. I’m still a little afraid of going down the driveway without say… A helmet.

More photos are online. Check them out. This time 4th and 5th grade for the most part. Really, click on my SN below if you look at them and tell me you looked at them. I want to know who all is seeing these and if any of them are my old classmates.

Let’s see.. um had one more thing. Movie night at Ambers tonight… but that wasn’t it.

Hmm… Don’t know but gotta go. Rushed post I tell ya. Later.
