things i haven't mentioned
our doorbell no longer works
the landlord has one of these recording things he keeps in his pocket. that holds 2 hours of stuff. it's sony. it doesnt use a microcassette. i am not sure when he uses it. probably for all of his dealings cuz people try to say he didn't tell them stuff. but if he uses it all the time that's tricky.
i spilt my glass of water all over the floor earlier today.
dave leveled twice today.
i cut my elbow somehow and it still hurts.
i used one skein of yarn so far for my scarf.

life royally sucks
Hello Collen and Dave,
I tried earlier today to get in contact you over the phone but the line was busy.
The way our projects work here at IIAM and the way we hire individuals is based on contracts that have either been approved or are about to be approved. Up until earlier this week we were under the impression that a proposal we had submitted would be successful. Unfortunately we have been told that this will not be the case. Unfortunately this means that we cannot afford to hire any new temporary employees for the summer.
I know Professor Grivas had told both of you that you will be with us for the summer and we were also under the impression that this contract would have been approved. We sincerely apologize for any difficulties that you may experience due to these turn of events. It was never our intention to mislead you, but these things do happen.
Sincerely,
John Makresias

the shake
i can't stand the shake from the construction on the corner of hoosick and 15th. i'm just sitting here minding my own business and i shake most of the time.
food
i just made 2 eggs. i never knew the clear part could form into ice crystals. i guess i turned the fridge up too high when i was trying ot make the freezer work.
i wish i had a toaster

plates
the salad plates that came with bigger plates and also bowls have a blue tint and the just salad plates that were dirt cheap yesterday have a green tint. The plates sort of look the same and are clear glass but when you stack them up, there's a difference.

hate
and still yet the more time goes on the more i hate the new apartment and everything.
also i can't get the crap off my arm from teh tape from when they stole my blood for testing.
and there's still no room in the apartment for stuff.
the landlord is saying stuff he never told us before and it wasn't in the lease.
he took the tv and vcr that came with the place since we already have a tv. he says we told him we didn't want it... we never told him that. the shower is scary. it's soo hot. even tho it's only 77 degrees out.
and there are administration issues and we cant' start work on Monday like planned. I do not know when or if we start. we should since you konw, they told us we were.
and we need money bad... we still have stuff to buy and then even more stuff cuz of the stupid landlord

it's quite sad that my linked photos don't work since shady is sitting on the floor not plugged in.
stuff
we aren't meeting john on friday about what we will do at work. I do not konw if that means we dont start on monday or not. we better. he said we got to pick when we started. i need the money. we better start. i'm worried though. i feel like we aren't going to start. timmy will make more money than me this summer, even if he doesnt keep his job at KB.
i dont know if we will go back to troy tomorrow or not. I can't decide.
i got a tentis shot today. my arm hurts a lot. it hurts to move my arm.

i'm at home. i ate good food. i have a lot of stuff i want to do. i need to throw away 140% of my room if i ever want my junk at school to fit in there.
today i threw away my old receipts with pb's help. it's fun to see how the text and font changes over time for a place. i had all receipts from 1997-2003 here.

bad
i would normally say is it bad. but i know it is.
it's bad when i'm scared of my summer apt and that i haven't studied much at all and that i know i won't get the grade i need.

couch
the couch has been moved. it was heavy and a lot of work. gravester, adam, and jcal did most of the work. it took almost 2 full hours to move it. well counting the leaving and returning to BARH time.
i'm tired.... i haven't studied at all yet and i need to study so it's making me tired.
the new place sucks more and more. i want to take pictures. i wanted to take pictures of the couch moving. the L of the couch sticks out and makes things worse and have dead space. i don't think we have room to stash it anywhere though. maybe it can fit in a bedroom. i dont know where the computers will go. i think pb already claimed the bigger room for his futon. the smaller bedroom doesn't have a window it just has the door to the balcony thing.

sadness

subjects needed
i need to put subjects to my posts more cuz when i listed a months entries by subject 90% didn't have a subject and it was quite disappointing and they should be more descript.
uh o - more fear
i will bold the scary part and say why at the end
To TFE-I Section-4 students,
In response to the questions that I have received from some of you concerning the final exam:
- the exam is open book (same format as for all three mid-term exams),
- the exam will cover the entire course material,
- you will not need a laptop,
- there will be six questions,
- the place is DCC 308 and the date is Tuesday, May 4,
- the exam will start at 3 pm sharp, and you will have to finish by 6 pm;
- the minimum preparations for the exam should include reviewing (actually
redoing) all homework problems, review problems and exam problems,
- if you have any questions concerning your previous exams (or any other
problems) and would like to review the solutions with me, I will be
avaialble tomorrow in my office from 3:30 to 4:30 pm.

ok ... the test is 6 questions and 3 hours all other tests were 3 questions and 2 hours. next that's a lot of reviewing he wants us to do. i haven't reveiwed any of that yet. i only reviewed example problems in the book. reviewing exams is hard cuz we aren't ever given the solutions. i was going to review homeworks and the review questions but that seemed like a lot of work.
chapters 1-5 are the hard ones. the rest is easy and jsut silly mistakes made

i just figured
a B is very unlikely in thermal even w/ studying all day. A B is also unlikely in dynamics but I have to study and I could get that B. But if i spend all my time studying thermal, I won't get my B in dynamics or my B in thermal. And that would pose a problem. So now I have to decide if I could really pull of B's in both or if I should forget about thermal. The final is 3 hours long and 6 questions. All our other tests were 2 hours long and three questions. That also adds to the scariness. I need an 82 to get a B and a 49 to get a C in thermal. In dynamics i need a 92 for an A, 66 for a B, ~30 for a C. I really need to be above the cutoff points. It's no fun having my grade end in a 9 so then it's the lower grade not the higher one. argh for that twice last semester.
ok so maybe i wont just quit studying thermal. argh. maybe i'll study all day. i just woke up an hr ago. i still have to find time to move and stuff in there. that's why i have to study dynamics today. i have to meet with landlord on wed at noon to get keys and then i believe we are changing some utility stuff and who knows. i think it said it would take the better part of an hour. But taking better part of an hour my be on friday. i dont know how long it will take on wed.
