There's something nice about 7:30 am when you are actually awake to enjoy it. I don't mean alarm clock awake, and I don't mean early to do homework awake either. I refer to instead when you actually naturally woke up to face the day. That sort of awake. LAst night I told everyone BRB since my back was really hurting, and so I laid out on the floor to stretch it out. I then passed out on the floor until morning. I think Raul jacked the heater up again in the apartment since it didn't get cold in the house last night.
Backpedaling over the last few days, the Monday presentations in Yee's class were nothing short of a joke. We had to read one section to present, another and form 10 questions, then go back, revise our presentation to incorporate the questions another group created, present it, and then halfway through the presentations, Yee realizes that through this method, entire sections of the book are being skipped over because some groups just walked up front and just answered the questions without explaining anything. So, he has decided to change the presentation format. How is he changing it? Nobody knows. Why is he changing all this to begin with? Something tells me it is tied to all the complaints he got at the halfway mark that fell along the lines of "this class sucks, because you really aren't teaching us anything". I don't know if this is possible, but I honestly feel like I am doing more work and learning less. Such is the mark of a required class I suppose. After Yee's class was two more hours of work, and then coming home to do piles of HW and get things ready for my Java class. I got to talk to Liz, and while chatting online with people, I realized my homework was actually doing itself! I saw a lot of things I thought I needed to do that were already done! Makes life easier. :) Eventually I fell asleep, and awoke for yesterday.
Since Thanksgiving is so close, Ahrens decided to make yesterday a Java work day, which meant he would be in there to answer any questions people may have had. The two people who always monopolize his time managed to again, with questions and a strong desire to ignore what Ahrens said. It usually went something like this: "Well, you have ______ defined in two places, so while it compiles, it won't run as expected." "See, I remove this though, and it doesn't work anymore." "That's because you need to remove the other one." "No you don't." ... While it amuses me, when I am sitting here looking through the Java API trying to remember what we talked about with Casting, I really would have loved three seconds for Ahrens to tell me "oh, slap a pair of parentheses around that". S'all I wanted. ;_; Anyway, I skipped the Financial Committee meeting yesterday simply because there was nothing that was of direct interest to me, and I only had a two hour window for food and etc. before class. Jake and I grabbed Toxic Hell, and I realized I didn't have all that much of an appetite. Now I am not sure if this was the fault of myself or my company. I don't seem to be eating in large quantities as of late. Jake sort of half pointed this out a few days ago, mentioning that "you look like you lost a lot of weight". Hmmm, maybe I have? I don't see it as too much of a bad thing, actually. And I'm eating, so nobody can fault me for that. ^^
After ProSem was Anime Club, which was not bad, although the turnout was a bit small. I got to go outside and talk with Nikki for quite some time about everything in general, which was kind of nice, although I missed a fraction of Noir. Thankfully, I have already seen the whole series. As soon as I snag 1-9 from Dave I will probably slap it onto CD or something. (H, you gotta see it!) After AC, I headed home, chatted online, and that was when the BRB thing happened.
So now it's morning, I am surprisingly awake, doing some HW to lessen the load over break, and packing up things I want to take back to Sacramento. Most of this would be laundry related things. ^^ I am picking up H from SC about 3:20ish or so, which means I plan to probably leave the house about 2:00 or so. I should probably let my parents know that my idealistic "be home by dinner" kind of fell through. I can always do that on the way to SC though.
Strange dreams still somewhat plague me, but thankfully they have shifted from the emotionally bad to the just plain odd.
