Random Stuff of the Week

I'm 2 weeks into the semester, at this point. And how much homework do I have? I have to make a list of 10 spanish words I don't already know, read about 10 pages for theology, and 15 pages for philosophy, and then do 6 short logic problems for math. Yeah, I'm liking this homework load so far. I'm sure it'll pick up, though.

In music class this morning we watched a DVD of a string ensemble performing Vivaldi's Four Seasons. It was insane! The primary violinist had to move so fast that it looked pretty much impossible. Now I definitely need to start working on my cello. One requirement for completing the music course is that I have to attend at least two live classical music performances. For the longest time I figured concerts would be boring... after all, I can listen to music any time I want. But after seeing the DVD thing today, I'm pretty much completely excited about it. Now I just have to find some concerts to go to.

Hmm. I want to have a LAN party now. I don't even know why.

Procrastinating

Well, school started again. I didn't get a bunch of homework yet. The teachers are waiting for next week to try to kill us all with that. I have to read 30 pages of Philosophy, and do a dozen logic puzzle things for math. Math class shouldn't be too bad. Apparently, it's not going to pass algebra level math, but it's more about looking at math in different ways. And the other classes seem like they won't be too difficult. Not a lot of writing involved, so far. Programming will be just as easy as it was last semester, just in a different language. I'll just be glad to get a lot of the required core classes out of the way after this semester. Not to mention that we're done with finals in the last week of April.

And work has been busy, lately. The library's website has kinda decided to see how much programming I can do at once. I blame Microsoft, once again. And then I had to get backups running after I discovered that they hadn't been running for a few weeks. (oops) It's a good thing my old boss bought a new backup system before he left, because the old one seems to be pretty much dead.

And let's see... what else did I do... I went shopping with Brian on Friday, though I didn't buy anything that time. Then we decided to drive to Medina to shop more, but nothing really caught our attention. So I just kept driving north, then we went east a bit, and got halfway-lost. We went to the northeast corner of Medina County, then north a bit, then back south. Kinda nifty. Makes me want to go on a road trip.

Then on Saturday, Michelle and I went to the Bullocks' house to watch "The Sting", which was about some con artists who are really good at gambling and stuff. It was so confusing, but so interesting. Lots of plot twists, and you're never sure (even at the end, really) just who is on whose side. And people keep dying, but not really dying. Or something.

Tomorrow I don't have my day classes, seeing as it is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. But instead, I'll go into work because I have to go to a meeting and then I'll stick around to observe all the craziness of the library's Halo tournament. Then I get to go to an evil 3-hour Philosophy lecture. Blaaaaaaagh.

On Being Bored

Today, there has been absolutely nothing to do at work. So I'm going to post on my blog.

The last week and a half has been pretty busy. Last week, I spent the majority of my time with relatives. And I worked 18 hours that week, even though I only needed to work 12... so I lost one day of vacation that didn't carry over to 2007. But oh well. So then this week, I've been catching up on various projects that I've decided to do for people. At first I was a little mad at myself for getting into said projects, seeing as it is my last week of break before the Spring semester, but I realize that if I hadn't been doing projects, I'd just be on World of Warcraft or something useless like that, so I guess it's all good anyway.

Speaking of the spring semester... I'm not really sure whether I'm excited about or dreading it. I don't have to take Calculus this time, and that was what made the last semester so tough. But I have the same instructor for a computer algorithm class. Or, I guess he'll probably pronounce it "Ararims" or something. I'm definitely not looking forward to having homework again... but I like going to daily Mass at Walsh... and I'm definitely glad I don't have to go to school at all on Tuesday or Thursday.

And that's pretty much all I've got to say.
