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.<br /><br />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<br /><br />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<br /><br /><br />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. <br /><br />Yes, I'm a little stressed. Not bad stressed, I'm enjoying everything I'm doing.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />And really, I'm just complaining so I can procrastinate, which means I'ms taying up later than I need to be. Gnight. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:saysyou:208742 2006-09-17T20:00:35Z 2006-09-17T20:00:35Z Barring lack of motivation to study for the DSP test, I had a great weekend.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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??<br /><br />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 urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:saysyou:208349 2006-08-19T04:35:30Z 2006-08-19T04:35:30Z My dad almost choked the other night... it was really scary...<br /><br />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....<br /><br />I'm rushing. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:saysyou:208049 2006-07-29T10:58:43Z 2006-07-29T10:58:43Z I'm soo freaking tired.<br /><br />I have to go learn the rules of the road this morning.<br /><br />Finals, they're starting to get to me. I'm not really stressed yet, but I'm on the verge. I hate being disorganized.<br /><br />I can't eat from 8-1 today so I'm supposed to eat beforehand.... I'm not hungry now :-P Could be interesting.<br /><br /><br />Get to see John today :-) Hope he made it back w/o incident... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:saysyou:207727 2006-07-27T23:15:27Z 2006-07-27T23:15:27Z He's back tomorrow!!!!!!...... TOMORROW!!!! and I have to go to class and a study session and he has to go home....<br /><br />But then I get to see him on Saturday!!!! And hear his voice!!!! and hug him!!!!!<br /><br /><br />:-D<br /><br /><br />k done being overly excited. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:saysyou:207447 2006-07-24T12:46:39Z 2006-07-24T12:46:39Z Panama City was awesome. <br /><br />Friday night, after driving 6 hours and a liquor run, we played volleyball in the dark. Heck yes.<br /><br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br /><br />Ryan Crawford is amazing... saved me once again.<br /><br /><br />I really don't want to go to class.<br /><br /><br />4 days!! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:saysyou:207244 2006-07-20T01:35:52Z 2006-07-20T01:35:52Z i just want you to be as ecixted as me urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:saysyou:207077 2006-07-19T18:09:18Z 2006-07-19T18:09:18Z 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<br /><br /><br />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. <br /><br /><br /><br />9 days!! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:saysyou:206709 2006-07-19T00:27:53Z 2006-07-19T00:27:53Z Today's been mostly unproductive. Not surprising.<br /><br />Sometimes you get what you pay for.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br /><br />And oh, by the way, I'm reaally excited!!<br /><br />Jennifer is my hero.<br /><br />I'm going to Panama City to windsurf & sail... hells yess!!<br /><br />John's coming home.<br /><br />Woohoo!!! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:saysyou:206446 2006-07-18T16:18:42Z 2006-07-18T16:18:42Z I waas supposed to run today. Oh well.<br /><br />Really I was supposed to do a lot of things today. Meh. I did some laundry. That's productive.<br /><br />Written skipper's test tonight... we'll see how that goes.<br /><br />I swear I'll do something productive tomorrow.<br /><br />I'm learning to windsurf this weekend in Panama City.<br /><br />Can't decide whether to go to class today or not.<br /><br />John will be back in the US in 10 days. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:saysyou:206241 2006-07-13T15:06:53Z 2006-07-13T15:07:43Z So, I found out today that John's coming home two days earlier than I thought he was.... !!!!!

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.
