My job is interesting. Maintaing the Mouse Cochlea Database. If I can redesign their website, I'll be happy. If I can build a console application for viewing cochlear images, I'll be proud. If I manage my sanity, I'll be king of the world.

I know it might be pointless to complain this early in the semester; but I feel like all of my Professors are unloading on their students early in the class -- to try and weed out students. Arg!

Gotta keep me head down, my feet planted, and a smile on my face. How else do you graduate in four years (after failing ten credits, dropping a five credit class on the last day of classes, and taking a four credit class that didn't count toward your credit total)? That's 19 credits wasted. That's how many I'm taking this semester.

And to think, the bookstore doesn't have all my books available.

I forget what happened on Friday. Kayla says not much of anything happened. But I remember something about pizza and a club. Something. I played alright in a late night freeroll.

I met with my group for CSCI 5115 Saturday at noon. Like we do every week. I get frustrated because of this group. We just sit and ramble with no direction, and with no clear idea of what we're doing. And, I'm with a bunch of fucknuts. But anyways, I have to find a script that sorts tables. And some other shit, in javascript. Which, I don't know.

Our house meeting fizzled on Sunday. But I found some hooks in the basement that I can use for bike hooks. And I fixed the overhead light in my bedroom without electrocuting myself. But, in the last four hours; two lightbulbs have burnt out in my room. Must be my stellar energy.

At nine tomorrow morning I meet with my advisor. We'll discuss the following: why I failed Japanese, what classes I will take next semester, what forms I need to fill out in order to graduate, etc.

Staying up late; working on flash. Check it here; laugh via comments.

I can't sleep. My nap this afternoon fixed that up. Such a nice weekend. Couldn't be everywhere; but never wanted to be anywhere else. The only picture is this rough shot. Kayla has a much better review of the nights.

It's nice to think ahead for next semester and the classes I think I'm going to take. Because they'll be my last classes for a while. Oh man is that going to be interesting. Anyways, I've had this fancy lately of sleeping outside on our hammock. Any reason to not do it?

I must be going through a growth spurt or something; because my body is forcing massive amounts of sleep on me lately.

Avocados are such a good snack during class.

Suffering from a bad memory here; I run through so many thoughts in a day that when this text box appears I'm shooting blanks.

I don't think that President Kerry could bring my satisfaction with my government. I know that President Bush hasn't. Lesser of the two evils? No. We're going to go 3rd party. Wasted vote? Not quite, I get to vote for Feingold. I also don't have to vote for Nader; Badnarik is polling better internally, and Cobb is showing well too.

I've also decided that; in the case that I am eating meat, it will be from a mammal. Fish and fowl are out. Not like I can remember the last time I've eaten either of the two anyways. I'm just deciding this because I just ate Taco Bell, and ingested my monthly ration of meat.

Some pictures here here here here and here that I've taken in the recent past of my travels on foot and on bike.

Tennis this week was horrible. My serve and forehand were off on Monday, and tonight the strings on my raquet broke. I played out the match with a loaner.

New strings for next week. New contact lenses too (if my appointment tomorrow pans out).

18.5 hours until I have to complete this homework.

And could have handled two more. I left after the supply dried out; drunk and with a blanket emergency on hands. An emergency in that, I needed a blanket to pass out under. Luckily I grabbed my iPod, which wasn't stolen. Irrelevant to the emergency I faced; MC Carpet made an appearance at the party. Phil didn't.

For now I have the pictures up on my itlabs account: here here here here here and here. I'm going to work on a script tonight that displays a random image in the upper right corner, and work on a counter for the page. etc. + etc. + on. + on.

I think it's going to be the semester long trend. purd0033 My weekend in Milwaukee was nice. Relaxing nice. Except that my mom drank my cheap beer that I bought to bring back. Crazy.

I played really well in my tennis league on Monday. Exceptionally well for me. I still lost. And I lost on Tuesday, but I was so exhausted and fatigued before the match that I really didn't care. Jamaal and I made our presentations in our Web Design class on Wednesday. You can read about mine and become active by checking out the UThink-Design blog.

I'm going to 3M today. For a user visit. How fucking professional.

The debates are on tonight. That's cause enough to drink, right?

In other news. I'm really excited about the UThink-Design blog. I'm probably going to use that site as my project in UC 3202. Probably. Unless Jamaal can think of something.

And in other news, my CS 5115 group is scheduled to meet 2:30-3:00 on Tuesdays. Right after my JPN 3021 lecture. And hours before my Tuesday night tennis league.

Mondays and Tuesdays, forever in eternity, come on baby, we can be like they are.
