I passed Math 124.
’nuff said
I’m never taking math again, except perhaps statistics for LSJ requirements.
So basically, I arrived home at around 3:30PM for winter break, and promptly took over a table for computer type stuff. Imagine my excitement when I heard the power shut off at 12:30AM (approx) that night. Now I could claim that as a rural resident in Western Washington I’m used to prolonged periods of power outages, but it seems that was before the internet was in common usage. Needless to say, it was a very unhappy 56 hours, but I survived. Somehow.
But what didn’t survive was my fish. :(
I guess the cold room and lack of oxygen finally did him in, despite my efforts to introduce oxygenated water. I miss the little guy (although he was rather large for a goldfish).
Let’s see here, the best burritos on the face of this earth are at a place called Casa D’s in Bellevue (a few blocks from the Bellevue Square mall). For $8.50 you get at least a 2 pound burrito of the best food you’ll ever experience. I’m not one for beans, but they’re so good you don’t even notice them. They’re amazing, we go there whenever we’re in the area. Random thought.
I’m kinda wasting time at the moment, in a naive hope that our grades will suddenly be posted a little past midnight simply because the online schedule says they’ll start posting them today.
Photoshop CS3 beta has been released in the past… whenever. I have it downloaded but don’t want to install it while running on a low CPU clock with the laptop. Perhaps when I’m plugged in.
I suspect this is a really random post, probably because it is.
Did I mention that the windstorm that knocked out our power also washed up an amazing amount of clams onto the shore of our beach? It was pretty amazing–we easily picked up 5 full buckets of them. The rest of my family munched on them (I refrained, for I dislike bivalves) and we’re releasing the rest at a lower water level when the tide is favorable.
I think I’ve given up checking the grades for now.
Finals are over
I don’t feel like doing anything, including going to the bookstore and getting a gift for my sister
But in lighter news, I was up until 1AM this morning adding album information for every one in my library that didn’t already have it. I’m quite pleased with myself.
I suspect this will be the most productive thing I’ll do until after this year ends.
It’s been excessively rainy the past two days here. Well, perhaps I’m characterizing that incorrectly–it’s extremely variable at the moment; this is especially significant coming from someone who has lived his entire life on Puget Sound. I’ve never seen it actually rain at steeper than a 45 degree angle until yesterday and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was quite impressed.
So my last final is tomorrow at 2:30. It’s just a PoliSci essay one, I’m slightly concerned for the question topic, but I’m just comparing this to one of the many AP essay questions and tests, just a little longer answer than expected in this test. But the last final means… going home! I need to admit, I’m usually home on an average of 2 out of 3 weekends, but had to miss the last two because of finals and other work I needed to do.
Onto material stuff, I’m really liking my Creative:M. The sound quality is so much better than an iPod’s, it’s not even funny. I kinda feel sorry for the consuming horde. I do miss my Dell DJ, however. :( Damned thing was built like a tank, its case was solid aluminum. My motherboard also died last Tuesday for the desktop, luckily Dell replaced it under warranty and I received the replacement Thursday that week. But when I was picking up the package, one of the RD’s came out and said something about me running a business in my room… I guess Dell put our business name on the part and they thought it was based here. It was pretty confusing until I realized they just looked at the shipping label.
Yes, I’ve finally given in to the inevitable and converted to standardized blogging software. My aging backend and (if I may say so) horribly looking frontend to my site was a giant hindrance to any real productive visits and discussions. I was stubborn, yes, and had to do everything myself. The deciding factor? Time, sadly enough. More here later.
