Happy Leap Year!!

I am soooo glad it's Friday, but then again I'm not. I've got quite of bit of stuff to do next week, so I'm going to have a pretty full weekend. Oh well. At least it's the weekend.

I'm in class right now, so I'm going to have to cut this short.


Cheers!!

Yay! Yahoo is back! I'm not sure why I couldn't log in, but they were able to fix the problem.

Wednesday, February 27, 2008

Okay, not really sure what happened to that last post. It looked all formatted as I was typing it. It's supposed to be dark green, large, and Times. It's not any of those things.

Well, cheers anyway, I guess.
Well, we got those physics midterms back the other day. I didn't do as bad as I thought I did, though, mind you, I still didn't do the greatest. I thought I was going to fail miserably, but as it turns out, I managed to get a 50. Not the greatest, but at least it's a pass. That, plus the fact that it's only worth 10% and there's another midterm means that a 50 isn't as bad as it could be. I can't find my course outline, but I think the prof has a couple of ways to tabulate our final mark, depending on how we do on each midterm and the final, so it might not count as much.

I didn't do quite as well on my calculus test as I thought I did, but I still got 60% on it, which is so much better than what I got on the first test. With this class, we only count 3 of 4 tests, dropping the lowest, so hopefully I can do fairly well on the other two tests so the first one can get dropped.

This week seems to be going by fairly quickly. I can't believe it's already Wednesday. February is almost over! It's just a little over a month until my birthday. God I'm old.

Cheers!

Well, Hotmail seems to be working again, but still no word about Yahoo. Hopefully their help center will get back to me soon. Grrrrr.....
Okay, Yahoo is being incredibly annoying. I have had the same email address with them for years and years and years, and now, all of a sudden, I can't log in. I'm being told that I'm using an invalid ID and/or password. Piss Me Off.

And now Hotmail is being stupid! GAH!!!

Isn't this kind of stuff supposed to happen on Mondays?

Friday, February 15, 2008

Ok, that physics midterm officially sucked. Completely. They can just burn my paper for all I care.

On the plus side, it is now the longest possible time between classes. I am now officially on STUDY BREAK!! Hoo rah.

Cheers!! (and drinks all around!)

Hey, this is my 80th post! Cool!

Well, I was wrong about the movie, or the one I saw at least. I decided to see "Fool's Gold". It was actually pretty good, I really enjoyed it. It was kinda like a chick-flick version of 'National Treasure'....kinda. I feel a little sorry for one of the actresses though. The character she played was a real ditz/bimbo/really stupid (like 'OMG she's giving me a headache' stupid). I'm afraid that people are going to think that she's really like that.

Only three more days to survive before my reading break. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it.

Cheers!

Sometimes I wonder why I even go to class. Didn't really learn much today, he just went over a sample program that was in the textbook. oh well. We were even pointing out a few mistakes he made as he was typing it up, and made a few suggestions about ways to improve the program, in case there are any changes in the input file like. At least it shows that we are learning something.

I am so bored and tired. I'm zoning out as I'm trying to concentrate (I just had to think way too hard about how to spell that word) on writing something that at least kinda makes sense. Gah! I wish I could just go home, but I can't. And to top it off, I have to go out tonight. Because I'm going to see a movie. A chick-flick. Yay me. Can you sense the enthusiasm? No? Good, because there isn't any. Not right at the moment in any case.

Okay, I'm really zoning out here so I'm going to leave before I start typing absolute nonsense.

Cheers!

No, I am not in class, but I am at the school. I had a midterm this morning. Yuck. I discovered something while writing that midterm. It's really hard to concentrate when you have Michael Buble songs going through your head. I was listening to one of my CDs while driving in, and ended up having the songs stuck in my head.

I'm pretty sure I at least passed the midterm. It may not be much of a pass, but I'm pretty sure I passed it.

Okay, I'm like, starving, so I'm off in search of food.

Cheers!!

Why is it that there never seeems to be enough time to do everyting you need to do. Maybe I just need to learn better time management. I have so much stuff to worry about. I had a test, an assignment and a lab just today. I didn't get the assignment done, but I have an hour to get the lab done. I have a midterm tomorrow, a test on Monday, an assignment Wednesday, a midterm Thursday, and a lab and midterm on Friday. Phew. At least after that I have a week off. Yay!

I think I did okay on my test. It was calculus. There were only a few questions I'm worried about. There was one of them that I missed the lecture for, so I had to try to learn it from the textbook when I was doing the practice questions, and I think I mixed some stuff up for another question. Oh well. Hopefully I'll at least get some part marks.

I love algebra, but sometimes the class is kinda boring, like today. I guess I'd better stop doing this and start paying attention. Do I really have to? sigh.... If I must. I really need to stop blogging during class.

Cheers!

I really shouldn't be doing this right now, I am in class and all, but I am soooooo bored it's not even funny. I'm in my programming class. It's not that it's hard or anything, but he has to go sooo slow for everyone to understand the concepts. I mean, I know that sometimes programming isn't the easiest thing to understand, but really. I've done programming before, so I understand everything, or at least, it doesn't take me long to catch onto a concept, so having to sit here while he explains things for people who don't understand..... I think I'm gonna cry. Like, we have weekly assignments and stuff that we have to do. This week's has four programs that you have to write. (It's not so bad, they're pretty small, and the first three are pretty much identical). I was able to get the first one done (and so most of the rest of them) during yesterday's class, and I just finished fixing up the fourth one.

Gah... I made the mistake of stopping to actually listen. Sometimes his explanations make things more confusing. I'll end up confused about something that I understood.

Anyway, I should sign off before I get caught at this. The guy sitting next to me already noticed that I was blogging.

Cheers!!

grrrr.... grumble.... stupid C++..... stupid Office.... grumble, grumble....

GAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

Thank-you, I needed to get that out of my system. I'm trying to write a program in C++ that converts Fahrenheit to Celsius, and it's not working properly, and I haven't the slightest idea why.

I'm also complaining about Microsoft Office, because, for some mysterious reason, everytime I open it up it "locks" or something... like, I can't type anything... it's so stupid!!

Sigh. On the plus side, I had a kick-ass weekend this past weekend. I went down to Toronto with a bunch of women. We did some shopping on the way down and the way back up, and on Saturday we went to see a show at Stage West. It was sooooo good! And the neatest thing is that the theatre is connected to the hotel, so you don't have to worry about getting around Toronto. You go for dinner before the show too. Here's the set up: you make your way to the theatre shortly before 6:30 when the doors open (First come, first serve). They take you to your seats and you get to go up to the buffet. They close the buffet and do a last call from the bar around 8. You then stay in your seat and watch the show. It's really cool! And the way they have the seating set up, there's no bad seats. (From what I could tell anyway. I didn't go up to the balcony, so I can't say for sure about that.). The play we saw was a 70's revue, so there was lots of great music. The audience was good too, got right into YMCA. I'm really glad I went. I spent way too much money, but I'm glad I went.

I'm starving, so I'm going to leave you now and go eat lunch.

Cheers!!

Good morning people. I'm not sure why I bothered coming in today, I still feel like crap. I've been home for the past two days. I kinda had to come in today though, I've got a bunch of stuff to hand in. I can't wait for tomorrow. I'm going away to Toronto for the weekend. A bunch of us are going to Stage West to see a play. It should be good, it's a 70's revue. I think we're stopping to shop on the way down and on the way back as well.

Today's the big day. Today at 10 am is when the Elton John tickets go on sale. A bunch of people have been lined up outside the arena since 5 am yesterday. Good luck to them. Chances are the tickets are going to be sold out before 40 of them get up to the window. Most people are going to be ordering them online. I say they'll be sold out within the first 10 minutes. The only way that I'm going to the concert is if I win the draw that I entered. I heard this morning that ticket prices range from $98 to $140.

I've got one or two more posts for you. I got a bit bored laying in bed the past couple of days, so I wrote up a few posts in Word to copy and paste into here.

Cheers!!

Well, this is new. While you are currently reading this particular post as you normally would, it is being written in WordPad, on my lap, or rather, my laptop. It is a very interesting experience. I might take advantage of this again, it gives me the chance to write things down as they come to me (you have no idea how many times I've thought of something to write in my blog only to have it disappear before I had the chance to post it).

Why is this post being written on my laptop instead of just posting directly? (No, there is no answer that you can give that will result in me not telling you). The reason is that I stayed home from school today, and so had no access to the internet. Unfortunately, while my laptop is wireless, all of the networks that it can pick up from my house are security-enabled.

That's pretty much all I wanted to say. I just wanted to tell you that's it's now easier for me to ramble on and on about completely random things.

Cheers!!

Hey, maybe I'll make that my sign-off....hmm... I like the sound of that.

January 31, 2008

I thought that today’s blog post would come to you direct, but apparently I was wrong. I’m still laying in my bed, typing this up in Word on my laptop. I’m feeling better than I was yesterday, but seeing as I’m going away this weekend, I thought it best to play it safe. I hate it when you get sick, or your sickness gets worse, when you go away; it takes all the fun out of being away.

I’m so bored that I’m going to start rambling on, so I’m going to leave while I’m ahead.

Cheers!!




(Wow, this turned out to be a really long post)
