Comment Re:I Wouldn't Call Her a Luddite (Score 3, Interesting) 1260

I'll agree with this one wholeheartedly. I know a guy who brings his laptop to class every day. Just yesterday, in our senior-level aircraft structures class, he had his laptop out. Not a big deal, if he were taking notes with it, but he was in the front row, and playing Sid Meyer's Pirates all class. Distracted a good portion of the room for most of the class period. (and during a midterm review of all times...)

Journal Journal: Four tests in three days

Well, I guess it's technically four tests in two days, since I don't have one on Thursday. Right now we're enjoying the calm before the final test this week. I doubt we're going to pay any attention at all in 355, since we'll be burned out completely. Looks as if it's going to be a video game/movie night.

Journal Journal: E-Ball Aftermath

Well, I thought it was fun. Megan and I love to dance, and so we did for most of the time. She's really cool. I'm still in wonder as to why I didn't notice this before. I'd hate to use the phrase "a real good friend" for right now, for that carries with it some negative connotations. There's nothing negative about what went on last night. I had fun, and took lots of pictures. I even saw La Diabla, and managed to have a decent conversation with her. Odd.

Journal Journal: Healed Foot & The Week of Terror

So, let's start with the incredibly good things. E-ball is tomorrow, and my foot is almost back to normal.

I'm working on three hours of sleep after an almost all nighter for homework. I'm a bit out of it, running on four cups of coffee. I don't normally drink coffee, so that says something. I am certain that this journal entry won't make any sense tomorrow.

Journal Journal: Parking Ticket and Screwed Up Foot

Yesterday was the career fair. One employer took my resume, which is wonderful. Looks like I have too low of a GPA to qualify for an internship, though. Lots of companies also accept resumes online, so I'll send some within the week. Might as well.

So last night I went to Emi's to do some homework. As I was walking to my car with Katie and Greg, I somehow overstretched my foot and screwed it up. YAY. With the e-ball in only a couple of days, too.

Journal Journal: Dinner at Blair's

So I was discussing with Blair whether or not people really need to discuss every personal moment online.

So I'm going to type what she does for the next couple of minutes.

She's reading. Now she's telling me to go to a website. I wonder what website she'll tell me to go to.

"Probably not, Blair." - Me
"I have a short attention span too, Blair." - Me

She's reading again. It's a book about women's "fancy bits."

This is a waste of space.

Journal Journal: 24 Hour Walmarts

Why, oh why is there a 24 hour Walmart in Ames, Iowa? This does not make any sense.

That being said, I was able to buy a clock radio for the pots and pans area at dining services so the people working there can listen to the radio instead of the constant sound of running water.

I also bought more rechargable batteries for the camera. Now I'll be able to take even more pictures at the e-ball.

Journal Journal: Converge, Damn It

Ever have a function that just won't reduce down to anything but a huge frickin' equation? I know I'm probably missing something, but it seems as though I was never meant to solve this problem.

Astrodynamics does not like me.

Journal Journal: Late Night Laundry

So I forgot to start my laundry early. It's 1:30, and I still have to wait 15 minutes for it to get done.

I managed a two page Fairchild Free Press today, and sent it with Kat to post on the sister floor.

Guess what I didn't do? Homework or study. This is hoping I don't have a quiz tomorrow. Well, I can always study aero structures in Sociology. That's what SSH classes are for, right? For catching up on reading for major-specific classes? No? Oh well. It was worth a try.

Journal Journal: A Bad Day Turns Into A Good Day

So yesterday was an interesting day. On Friday, I got the phone number of a girl simply by asking. Who knew it worked that way? Anyway, I decided on Sunday to meet her at her room. She wasn't there, and I left a message.

Dear Journal: Today I finally joined Slashdot. Not that I have anything more to say. I'm just putting this here to help me remember when my year-long session will expire. Huzzah for me. Hopefully I'm not misusing the journal space. -Flakbait
