little things mean a lot whether good or bad

ok i talked maggie into taking the physics final. i'm starting to talk myself out of it. argh

commons might be a possibility today
we'll see

the classic had a little bit of trouble toinght. all because another car took his earlier spot

the day of rest

yesterday was the day for playing but i did not do that. i rested yesterday. but also today i rested. i half listened to grivas. so studying will have to be tomorrow. i took a nap today after waking up at 1pm. i took lots of pictures of snow. i watched finding nemo today.

lots of snow today = not worth walking to commons

we got a lot of snow. it'sstill snowing. i got halfway dressed and am lying in bed wondering what to do.

originally 2 finals on the 11th
both got changed

now one on 10th and one on 12th

dilemas

test 3 average 67%. none of the professors would have gotten a 100 on it. a few professors say they are changing their teaching styles now to adjust for the course coordinators alterations.

right now i have a B and i think I wont take the final to get an A. wait i might. it was said it will be more like a conventional final in the past. hmmm could i do it? i dont konw. is it worth the stress? i do not know. is it worth at 4 instead of a 3. it is to my mom. i dont knwo if i coudl do it. i need to study for strengths.,

i made a pretty graph of my money. it's actually not that pretty and a little depressing.

vnc won't work. :(

dilemas
and i think i choose to not take the physics final unless i like totally fail the physics test tomorrow. i dont know why i keep studying. i thinki quit retaining information about 5 minutes after i started studying. my mind keeps wandering and ied issues arrise and aim keeps me occupied.

ahhh not enough time alloted in the day to do ied AND study for physics.

strengths test = not good and also the TA can't add so i have to go get my extra point.

i burnt my thumb this morning on my curling iron.

i only need to study 66 different areas or things for the physics test.

class

what are the chances i could get a 100 on wednesday's physics test. if i get 100 on this test i have an A without the final. but i dont know anything at all on our preveiw test. studying i must. o if i get a 60 i still have a B.... so actually studying i don't really have to that much.

i have a lot of ied to do though. i should be a busy bee, but i'm lazy and like TV more.

haircuts

today i cut dave's hair and then he cut mine. pretty

2 nights ago we went to empire diner the second night in a row. we got another milkshake. the first night i didn't have my camera so we had to go back to try to recreate our first milkshake.

adventures

yesterday was a day of shopping and other surprises.

at outback dave gave me a promise ring. o it's so beautiful. i tried to buy a ring guard at target and kmart but they dont have them. i bought one a long time ago at walmart. i could order one on-line sometime. my knuckles need to not be bigger than the important part of my finger.

i expereienced 2 malls yesterday and multiple stores. we went to kohl's twice. 2 differnet kohl's so it was alright.

my purse broke at payless so i had to get a new one. the zipper came out. the rest of my mall trip had to be done with a broken purse.

at k-mart shenanigans took place.

we bought 2 dozen krispy kreme donuts after target last night. they were 10 bucks. at the train station one dozen was 6.20.

we did do a little christmas shopping. it more like gave me ideas and then i couldn't find the stuff i wanted. i did buy me stuff. i'm wearing some of it now. dave likes all my new stuff. he was an influence on buying it. i like to look pretty for him.

i still have a lot of homework to do and not much time left here at the not poly. i wonder how we are going to get all this stuff ack to the school. carrying it is the hard part.

o what a day

welcome to philly

my stomach hurts and i don't know chapter 8 at all and i have been a slacker at studying and i only studied some of chapter 7 so far and no i have to write my ied report for sunday night instead of later in the week

they shut of my ethernet port becuase of some network bridge my new desktop made.... the internet came back but as soon as we plugged in desktop it went away so dave called someone and talked for a bit.


now i really wish maggie's wireless would work for me.

ovens

stackwyck oven is so inconsistent. the cookies say to bake 10-12 min at 375. anticipating the horribleness i put it to 325. the cookies that burnt the most on top were in for 6 minutes. the cookies that burnt the most on teh bottom were the first batch at 8 minutes. i just had to keep a good eye on the other ones and they still didn't turn out right. not as creamy as normal. possibly the hotness of the oven that ruined them. it is quite sad. the recipe called for 60 and i got 54 out of the deal.

i have no clue how the last tray turned out because i was forced to finish with only the christmas tree lights. so i coudlnt' tell how dark or how light they are. most likely they are too light.

no bakes are a better bet up here

ahhh

its pretty blue when it's on. too bad it makes this beeping sound that drives me crazy. the sound has been narrowed down to the motherboard but it's also a voltage problem as to why it beeps. it's late now so more will be tried to be figured out tomorrow. o sooo much to do tomorrow.

work 1-6

40 minutes to install windows

pb likes cats

why do certain things bug me when they shouldn't at all?

this isn't any fun at all... i can't play with my new computer. i'm sort of regretting the lack of flat panel. Also they sent me a different mouse than was pictured. they did put the computer together for me when i just ordered parts.

there's a keyboard error or it's not found........ :( and i don't konw why

new computer set up time. i need a floppy drive

ied exhibition is done

i'm sooooooooo tired

aren't ied projects wonderful. i'm here at the dcc now working with a few others.

i so want to say what's on my mind but i dont want anyone to hate me. it's hard to hold back when he is/was so wrong.

PD1 was good today

in the wonderful world of computer lab monitoring i'm getting dripped on and i dont know how or why

also yesterday i forgot about work from 8-1 today in my plan of events

yuck

bj3l33t: also got good news and bad news for you
bj3l33t: the good news is the scr will work for us, the bad news is we dont needthe spark gap anymore, i feel awful cause you really did an awesome job im impressed and kinda sad i have to actually tell you we cant use it

how is that good news. like 10 hours of making my part and lots of planning down the drain

well maybe not ... dave says swersey will like it because it's a fully developed alternate method

"oh my god i'm dead" dave just said that and i agree

my computer monitor is now in Sharp instead of the Common's mail room. but the rest of my comptuer is not here. my credit card was charged on monday. i can't access the page where it lets me check my status tho. that scares me a little

i want my computer to come so i can not have it put together until IED is over.
My monitor is here... i havne't picked it up. but y waste space and pick it up now?

i'm excited about playing with it.

i burnt my left index finger today working on IED because I'm a silly goose

nice

my work is never done

so tomorrow my rough agenda:
wake up: 10:45
lunch :11:15
MDL: 11:50
PD1: 2
IED as group: 3:20
dinner: 6ish
IED and other hw

bed: 3AM

gotta love IED

somone else did one thing on my part and they messed up.

if i take the physics final i could get an A and to maintain a B i would only need a 62%.... but last year i only needed a 44 to maintian B so that meant an A was a lot closer and I didn't get that A. decisions will have to be made afther the thrid test i suppose.

dave is so funny. it helps relieve stress.

tonight was dinner with me dad. me pb kate and gravester ate with him. during dinner he kept getting up to look at the steeler game. i'm actually surprised he even agreed to go when steelers are on. at home he would never do anythign when the steelers were on.

update to october 25 entry: pb's wireless is no longer working :(

update to October 21 entry: i did get an A

i don't know why

i feel like i'm going to cry

i can't optain a network licence for solidworks so i can't use it to finish my assembly for ied

my whole ied group told me to use the stolen drill today. and about 2 hours later i bought one for 14 bucks

today

my impusle buy was actually a better deal than my previous thoughts of getting a new laptop next year (or senior year) so i'm just saving me money. go me

so i get to work on ied in a few minutes with teresa. fun fun fun. ied is a pain and i dont like how things keep changing.

i worked on strengths for 3 hours earlier and got 5/6 of the assignment done.

my dad's plane is gonna land in about 45 min. then i get to figure out how i was supposed to meet him and then we r going shopping. i hope he doesn't end up going to my dorm before i get there. since i have an ied meetin gat 6

i just applied for an internship at westinghouse. it's my first actual job i've applied for

spending

i spend too much money. i impulse bought a computer a few days ago. well it should be shipped out on monday to me. i still can't check my order status so i'm not sure what is up. i order the monitor from another company. that has been shipped out and expected delivery is on nov 17th. i'm excited about it all.

ied sucks and i can't take my group. things i've done can't be used.

i'm quite stressed. 24 helps me be not stressed. i love that show. i have 8 more hours to watch in the 2nd season then i can start this season. we will be caught up by thanksgiving.

duct tape is my new best friend.

i won't use stolen materials for ied

my computer sucks

i dropped social psych for next semester and signed up for writing to the world wide web

i attempted to change my desktop today but couldnt handle the change so i put my old one back that i've had since the day i got my computer

i figured it out
if i get a 100 on the next test and a 100 on the final i will have an 89.9 (if my hw average stays the same)

if i get an 80 on the next test and an 80 on the final i have a 79.9

looks to me like there is no real point in trying that hard. cuz i'm stuck at a B anyway. BUT there is always the hope of a curve...hmmm decisions decisions

i didn't fail my strengths test (the lowest grade was a 60)

never a whole

today my lunch seemed to end with .5 too
1.5 rice krispy treats and .5 bowl of cereal

it's friday and tonight is cooking spaghetti time

stuff

tomorrow i get my strengths test on that i know i did bad on. it's quite scary. they should have just given the tests back on tuesday so they wouldn't be prolonging the agony.

ied takes up so much time. i can't really do that much. i need to help out other people. there isn't much for me to include in my final chapter of our design report. that scares me a little. swersey isn't very good at getting grades and things back to us.
i used to think i would have more A's than B's. now i dont know. I might not even get a B in strengths and it's such a shame because i know that stuff. i think i'm like maggie was last year with iea. she knew the stuff and would just freeze on the tests. strengths is so much like iea. they should have a retake exam like iea did. it would make me a lot happier. at least i know i got an A in my one credit course. i just want a 3.5 is that too much to ask. i bet i'll get an A in psych and the law so that is good.
my physics test last week was bad. a lot worse than i expected. our professor told us after the fact that they made it harder because they felt kids were cheating this year. if i would have known in advance it was going to be harder, i would have studied more. other classes knew it was going to be harder so that isn't quite fair to us. my professor doesn't have a review session either.
I schedule for class in less than four days. i better hurry at deciding what i want to take.

today for lunch i had 1.5 cheese sticks, 1.5 glazed donuts, and half a carrot stick with ranch. go me

less than 2 chicken tenders = lunch today

dave doesn't like eggs, bananas, macaroni and cheese, or meunster cheese.

argh for everything school related

i'm going to dave's for all of thanksgiving break

hooray

pb got his wireless working. he's so cool. i love him!

sick!

i've been sick forever. I went to the doctor's again today. the doctor had to bring in another doctor for a second opinion. they can't really tell me what's wrong. they just said it's an acute sinus infection. they changed what antibiotics i'm on and told me to throw away the other ones i spent big bucks on

the spring 2004 sechule is up so it's classes pickign time. i have to wake up early next semester. it's gonna suck.

today

yup still sick
at work now. nobody is here that's actually in charge. so i believe it is naptime. too bad i'm not that tired. this is a perfect opportunity. i got lots of work to do but sort of not much to do at the same time.

today in psych i practiced my drawing skills. it was fun stuff. but then we had to watch a video and fill out a worksheet so my drawing was put to an end.

ied is a crazy class. i wish i had a better background of things.

programming is done. i wonder if i got that 90 on the final to get an A. even tho i had a 99 on the project and only needed 85 and also had over 100 on homework and inclass but only needed an 80.

i think iw ill start to get better since i made a doctor appointment

sigh

so much for today being the first day i haven't been dizzy since wednesday

zzzzzz

i am super tired. i keep falling asleep. well dozing off. but right now i'm at work at the 87 gym. i'll be here for another three houors.. as i just fell asleep typing that. my lips are dry. my hands are dry.

my pillow has returned.

me = sick
= horribleness

sharp gym

bicycle on exercise mode
endurance training
20 minutes
2.28 miles
78 calories
average speed = 6.6

today's the first day taht i just carried a camera on campus ever. and today there was a cute squirrel in range so i took many pictures. pretty ones

i did dave's laundry on my birthday for his anniversary present.

i got my strengths test back today..... silly mistakes = many points


but fun is in store for later

my poor daisy. not only does she have to have her eye taken out this week but she also has an underactive thyroid so she has to take 2 pills a day for the rest of her life

sat night

514 words so far on my psych essay... but too tired to finish tonight. i wanted to finish and get it out of the way. tomorrow is 6 month anniversary for me and dave. i wanted to have time to spend together. i already have an ied meeting tomorrow at three. the essay is about half done. i wanted to be done so it gets me mad. i am not good at essays. i should have probably taken a break and worked on something else before i got too tired.

i have strengths for tuesday, programming for monday, ied for all the time, and psych essay for tuesday. i already did my physics homework that is all i have completed. i did a lot of ied but that is never complete

i have two finals
posted times:
str - fri 12/12 8-11
phys 2 - fri 12/12 8-11

ied sucks
takes up too much time

must do work

i just wanna scream

i spend lots of time making a crib sheet then everyone wants a copy of it.

i should get a new computer next year!

while i'm on the topic of hate...

grivas didn't go over enough that covers our homework and i dont know how to do it. i worked and worked and couldn't figure it out.

ied

i hate it. i hate it. i hate it. swersey tells lies. it seems like he has reason behind it. then he changes it or isn't ture to his word all around. he changes rules from the course guidelines. he makes us all confused. he changes stuff and acts like he doens't at all.

so much work for that class too. sooo much

yummm

i went to fresno's for dessert with kate and maggie tonight. they were all very good. our waitress seemed to not care about us at all.

gravester decided tonight was guys night out for them so it became fun time for us girls as well.

well we got locked out of the cage today and i had to wait for kevin to get back.

my parents visited this weekend. look for yourself

today

today wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. i did my presentation in ied that i didnt' know we had to do. lots of people in my group researched the same as me. i didnt' get to sit anywhere near dave in class because we had to sit with our teams. physics wasn't so bad. i sat near tom today. when i got to physics i didn't like it because people were where i normally sit. threw me for a loop. i dont like when that happens. next time i have to be more than 5 minutes early to get my seat back. programming wasn't too bad. i would have figured it out myself. it's always just easier to ask dave. i got my one point for the inclass problem today. we have the next homeowrk assignment to do. only 4 more classes left and 2 more hw assignments plus a project. i dont think we really learn enough that we have to do in that class. the book seems pretty good though.

my family visited this past weekend. it was nice. i bought a lamp. timmy doesnt' think he would like it up here though. i got to spend time with just maggie and no dave at walmart. it was a lot different. we lost maggie at walmart and then when timmy was hunting for her we lost him too. he found her but we couldnt find them. we all found each other in the end and maggie got a big red rug.

i have to write my essay on philosophy of law for tomorrow. i dont think it is goign to be pretty. i hate essays!

as solidworks stops responding when i try to print.

ack

ied.... consumes your life

my parents and brother are here but i haven't seen them yet

we got our ied groups. it sucks. the teams are very lopsided with strengths and weaknesses. swersey said he goofed and he is redoing them. i'm not sure how well that will go though.

i'm gettin ahead of hte game. i'm running out of stuff to do except ied.

our bathroom smells funny...like mold or mildew or something yuck

argh

so much work. when u finish something there is always 2 more things that need to be done. and these new things take longer too. no more listening to people making me think that i don't have to do work when i think i do.

sharp

today there was a big leak into our dorm. somethign above our bathroom broke and it flooded in. kate called fixx. they said they were sending someone over, but nobody came here to clean anything up. they only cleaned upstairs i assume. there is still a huge puddle on the carpet. it's quite noticable to the eyes and to the feet (even with shoes on).

essays

i got a 3/4 on my first psych essay

Friday Night

tonight was a trip to macaroni grill and then to the movie which was the medalian. neither were that great. but i spent a lot of money! the movie was unliked byu all. ebefore we went half of us thought it would be bad we were right. we didnt' get to see a chick flick that would have been good.

Sleeping

2nd week of classes. 9 hours of sleep 3 different nights this week. 8 hours once. least amout of sleep so far was wed night with 6.5 hours

argh

IED = lots of work that i hate

wow...already

sooooo much work to do. so little time. strengths of materials is evil

well someone is sick and it seems to be me. i knew i wouldn't have my illness over and done with this weekend. it had to take a few days to set in after maggie gave it to me.
today we worked on ied for 6 hours! and we aren't done
it sucks let me tell u..... boring horrible. toss across
