Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64?
Life comes at you fast. Buried fears can pop up out of nowhere, triggered by someone's passing comment, and you just can't seem to bury them again.

[Link] | What an awesome day!!
Somehow pulled an A on the final in DSP and therefore got a B in the class!!
My co-op bosses like me (and the other co-op) and we're both getting pretty decent raises!!
There was a toxic gas leak at work and we had to evacuate everyone in the cleanroom!!
Okay, so that's not exactly awesome, but it wasn't serious and it makes for a good story...
And now I'm packing for the ski trip.... woohhooooo!!

What's wrong with our society?? Our generation??
What could make your life so bad that you feel the need to kill yourself and on occasion take your peers out with you?
I think that's one thing I hope I'll never understand...

[Link] | Working 40 hours a week, at an awesome job but one that the people expect me to do research about the job outside of those 40 hours.
ECE 2025. Also known as DSP. Kicking my ass. Lab writeup, prelab, and homework every week. Can't pay attention in lecture because it's my lunch break from work. Fall asleep in recitation because it's 4:30 after I get off of work.
Pledging Alpha Xi Delta (so it's not supposed to be called pledging, but there's no replacement verb). Awesome pledge class, awesome sisters. But I find it rediculously hard to spend time at the house when I'm work 40 hours a week and taking dsp. Not to mention
Omega Phi Alpha. I should've gone LOA this semester like Anne suggested, but I didn't get to know any of the girls very well during my pledge semester and I didn't want to put it off another semester, so I stayed active. Which means at least 10 hours of projects etc etc... really not that bad... just on top of having to wake up early every day of the week and then occasionally on the weekends
SO. Balancing DSP classwork, pledge responsibilities (such as memorizing all the sisters' info when I haven't met half of them because I'm a horrible new member because I have absolutely no time), and service responsibilities, not to mention trying to hang out with John as much as I'd like to, all in the hours of 6pm to bedtime just doesn't work very well.
Yes, I'm a little stressed. Not bad stressed, I'm enjoying everything I'm doing.
However, right now it looks like I'm gonna die at spaghetti dinner/initiation b/c at this point it's gonna be near impossible to remember every girl's info well enough to spout it off if someone asks.
So thursday in two weeks is spaghetti dinner. Saturday is team buzz and clemson game, which I clearly have to watch. Sunday is initiation. Monday is 2nd DSP test... which at this point I'm pretty sure I'd fail. I lost it back somewhere around Fourier transforms... which was like ch2.
And really, I'm just complaining so I can procrastinate, which means I'ms taying up later than I need to be. Gnight.

[Link] | Barring lack of motivation to study for the DSP test, I had a great weekend.
Six flags with John, Football game, sold out Jay Clifford concert that we got into anyway because the guy at the door loves tech and we went straight from the game.
Then, DSP took over my weekend... Becky helped me with the lab starting at 10pm on a saturday night and I've been attempting to study all day... which hasn't really worked very well. But what can you do??
ps, anybody like volleyball?? I need at least two more people for my team for the alpha xi volleyball tournament next weekend (sept 23rd). It's gonna be awesome... and you get two meals and a tshirt for $15, i mean, it can't get much better than that

My dad almost choked the other night... it was really scary...
I'm currently reading a 48 pg cleanroom lab manual for when I start work on Monday because I won't want to think about it Saturday or Sunday because....
I'm rushing.

[Link] | I'm soo freaking tired.
I have to go learn the rules of the road this morning.
Finals, they're starting to get to me. I'm not really stressed yet, but I'm on the verge. I hate being disorganized.
I can't eat from 8-1 today so I'm supposed to eat beforehand.... I'm not hungry now :-P Could be interesting.
Get to see John today :-) Hope he made it back w/o incident...

[Link] | Panama City was awesome.
Friday night, after driving 6 hours and a liquor run, we played volleyball in the dark. Heck yes.
I kinda learned how to windsurf, although I can't turn yet... and the water was shallow where it was easy to learn, so wekept getting stuck in the sand. But anyway, I'm sore as crap from that.
I really like the Hobies (catamarans)... sailing around on the ocean is just soo amazingly relaxing. I went out with at least one of ze Germans every time... one time we saw a dolphin like 30 feet from the boat, and another time Ralph took us out the channel to the open ocean... it was kinda choppy, but the water was soooo beautiful aqua blue near the Panama City Beaches and we saw a kitesurfer and a wedding going on.
Ryan Crawford is amazing... saved me once again.
I really don't want to go to class.
4 days!!

[Link] | in case you're wondering, i got every single question on the sailing test right, except for that one dang right of way question. which means I have to take it all over again :-P Haha, I could've missed any of the questions on the other parts, but i missed the one that made me fail... LAME :-P
So, for future reference, the boat on a starboard tack gets right of way, if they're right next to each other, the leeward boat gets right of way, a sailboat gets right of way over motor boats, whichever boat has less maneuverability has right of way, overtaken boat has right of way over the overtaker... i think thats mostly it.
9 days!!

So...
Today's been mostly unproductive. Not surprising.
Sometimes you get what you pay for.
I failed the sailing test... DAMN!! Oh well. I mean, I could've gotten a ton right, but i missed one of the right of way questions, so I failed cause yo uhave to have 100% of those right.
And oh, by the way, I'm reaally excited!!
Jennifer is my hero.
I'm going to Panama City to windsurf & sail... hells yess!!
John's coming home.
Woohoo!!!
Current Mood:  happy, but icky.

Really I was supposed to do a lot of things today. Meh. I did some laundry. That's productive.
Written skipper's test tonight... we'll see how that goes.
I swear I'll do something productive tomorrow.
I'm learning to windsurf this weekend in Panama City.
Can't decide whether to go to class today or not.
John will be back in the US in 10 days.

Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something??

ugh
you know, I really really wanted to write something here... I needed to vent & complain... but everything I wrote was just dumb.
So suffice it to say... Tonight was fun at the park, even though we got caught in the torrential downpour. Now, I'm cranky and miserable. and I miss John. the end.

Happy 4th of July!!
Pretty nice day outside and what am I doing? trying half-heartedly to figureout the homework that's due tomorrow morning....
Courtney's alarm went off around 8am & she wasn't here... so I've been up since about then cause I suck at going back to sleep.
So I'm pretty much lame. Last night I didn't feel like being the 3rd wheel so I stayed at my apt and had a leftover hamburger and listened to music and then fell asleep. Relaxing, yes. Got nothing done and did nothing fun though... but oh well what can you do?
