Well, the first week of the semester is finished. Three of my classes have projects/presentations, but they don't seem like they'll be too difficult. Complex analysis looks like it's going to be really fun and algebraic geometry looks like it will be mind-blowing. Difficult as hell, yes, but mind-blowing (in an awesome way), nonetheless.
Still, I blew off tonight's homework stint to watch a bunch...

What the frak were you doing with a goat?


radiofrank:
Ah, very good. You had me worried for a moment. 

Well, the spring semester starts Monday. Complex Analysis, Scientific Computing, Image Analysis and Pattern Recognition and, last but not least, Algebraic Geometry and Coding Theory. Woohoo! Good bye sleep!

Crazy? That's the understatement of the year. 

radiofrank:
Yeah, that makes a little more sense. Heh.
So Mara1 gave me Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth for Christmas. Although frustrating at times, the game is awesome. Not really a first-person shooter so much as a first-person runner.
Still, well done. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a supposedly shoggoth-laden refinery to sneak through....

Camus? Not familiar, but if it is related to my rambling I might like it, link?
I like that theory, in which case I am using it quite wrong.

I'm raiding your blog apparently, my comment army grows daily!
Thanks, so far it is indeed a happy birthday, even though I'm working all day.

Grades for last semester were finally posted.
Semester GPA: 4.00 (my first ever). This includes A's in Real Analysis and Diff Eqs--apparently I'm not that bad at math afterall.

You're quite welcome, good sir.

You rock so much, especially since your school used the + and -
Let's get the New Year started off right!
Bwahahahaha! Sigh, how true....

I'm sure that I will come up with a decent rough sketch, but it's been a long time since I've done any sort of drawing. Maybe I'm just a little paranoid about the whole process.

Woo hoo! My girlfriend decided to re-up her account! Go say hi to Mara1 (formerly known as Mara, but hey, times change).
Now, in the name of the holidays, let me repost a journal entry from Feb '03:
High over the city Albert turned to Death, who seemed to be trying to avoid his gaze.

You're just saying that so I don't beat you up. Asking "Does this painting suck?" is one of those loaded questions like "Does this dress make me look fat?"
Btw, why are we typing instead of talking, since you are sitting right next to me?

Thank you, kind sir. All the best to you as well!
So the other night I had a strange dream.
What I remember of it involved Flux, myself and some guy I don't know running around inside a large, old-style, four-star hotel. (I don't normally dream of SGs so that's what makes this odd--then again, perhaps I'm odd for not regularly dreaming of SGs). At some point, the three of us ended up in a...

It's no crazier than some of the dreams that I've had.
Well, the Diff Eq and Comp Sci finals are done. Later in the afternoon, while I was studying for Analysis, my Diff Eq instructor walked by and mentioned that I scored 129/135 on his final. Ironically, I was too exhausted to respond with anything other than, "Really? Wow, I rock!" which seemed slightly inappropriate.
Meh. He laughed.
Analysis and Spanish on Thursday.
Fun.
I love...

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked it! 

radiofrank:
I thought that you might get a kick out of it.
My home page is giving me a headache. Just sayin'.

That's right! My problems are a bazillion times worse than yours.
Hope that you're feeling better as well, good sir, and good luck with the finals!

thank you !!
So this coming Saturday is the Putnam. Yay. Since they provide the paper and I only need to provide a pencil, I'll probably be turning in something with my name on it and stick-figure drawings of me maniacally-laughing, unable to solve a single problem (examples of which may be found here).
Meh, wish me luck!

Thanks for the sweet comment on my set; I put my heart and soul into this one and I'm so glad you like it!
So the semester has just about two weeks left in it and, as usual, mind-numbing burnout and last minute everything-is-freaking-due panic is warring in my fragile, widdle psyche. Arrgh! My diff eq class has a final problem set that will be collected, but 2/3 of the assignment is something we'll never be tested on, so I'm dragging my ass doing it.
I'm very excited about...

Seems we are. I tried to join our local group, but it doesn't seem like we have much of one.

`In that case we start fresh,' said Humpty Dumpty, `and it's my turn to choose a subject -- ' (`He talks about it just as if it was a game!' thought Alice.) `So here's a question for you. How old did you say you were?'
Alice made a short calculation, and said `Seven years and six months.'
`Wrong!' Humpty Dumpty exclaimed triumphantly. `You never said a word like it!'
`I though you meant "How old are you?"' Alice explained.
`If I'd meant that, I'd have said it,' said Humpty Dumpty.
Alice didn't want to begin another argument, so she said nothing.
`Seven years and six months!' Humpty Dumpty repeated thoughtfully. `An uncomfortable sort of age. Now if you'd asked my advice, I'd have said "Leave off at seven" -- but it's too late now.'
`I never ask advice about growing,' Alice said Indignantly.
`Too proud?' the other inquired.
Alice felt even more indignant at this suggestion. `I mean,' she said, `that one can't help growing older.'
`One can't, perhaps,' said , `but two can. With proper assistance, you might have left off at seven.'
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.
