Choices

Do I use my free time this evening to:

  • Retool my class scheduling program to use XML input
  • Play Rock Band

Why is this even a debate? Is programming really supposed to be a fun activity?

...

(Sigh) I guess I'll be social and play Rock Band.

Great start to another semester

I've made it through the first week of this spring semester, and I'm no worse for the wear. I'm really enjoying my classes so far. I'm taking the second semester of Humanities for Engineers, which is going to be divided into two "landscapes" for the semester. For the first part, we'll be covering some of the classics: the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aneid. That should be interesting. The math class I'm taking is probability. The professor's accent is very thick Asian, but he's a great teacher, and I think I'll enjoy the class. I have three computer science courses.

Tired

Getting sleepy, but I had to inform everyone that I start at Transportation Services on Monday. Cool, huh? Oh yeah, and my car died at school, so now I have to get up early and acutally take the bus.

Sick Day

I guess my new year wasn't as happy as I'd have liked it to have been. New Year's Eve was excellent; we all got together at Kristen's for a party, and everyone enjoyed themselves. We had quite a time with Ashley's PS2. We played DDR for a while, and even tried out Mortal Kombat with the DDR pads. It was very entertaining. Yesterday morning, however, wasn't anywhere near fun. I can't tell if I had a 24-hour stomach flu or terrible indigestion, but you get the picture. I decided to rest for most of the day, interrupted only by a bout of projectile vomiting. It wasn't fun to say the least. This morning I feel mostly better, so I'm thankful for that. I had breakfast with my mom, who was in town for the past few days and is heading back to New Mexico. Beyond that, I think I'll just spend the day reveling in the fact that I'm not sick!
