Money, Money, Yeah Yeah.

What have I been thinking?

I have a java ME program due by morning that I haven't started yet. It is 9:44 at night. Ugh ugh ugh. It is going to be a late night.

So for Lent (I'm not catholic) I've decided to try and better myself by giving up eating out. This is probably one of my greatest vices and it's both a detriment to my health (there isn't much health to dollar menus) and a wallet lightener. I have enough food to easily last and yet, Subway is always calling my name. Let's see if I can last Lent without that stuff! I will attempt to document my cold turkey attempt and the withdrawals I go through here.

On Community Day I went and took the college assessment test so as to get my graduation fee off and free cap and gown. Seemed like a fair deal for a little bit of my time. It was kinda weird, I had to put forth logical arguments for and against things regarding this fictional rec center and it's programs using a bunch of documentation they provided. I think I did OK? A couple people left minutes into it and in my peripheral vision other people's screens looked a lot different, so who knows what other people had to do. So we will see what my results say or whatev. Who knows?

Welp, gotta start this program now. Sigh... Talk to you later.

I want a love like Johnny and June

Blah, I'm sick.

I hate being sick. It just ruins every day. I am getting better already but it got pretty bad Friday night. I had a cough that felt like it dislodged gunk in my throat, and then hurt my chest and throat. Kinda weird.

Now lately I've just been dealing with headaches that come and go and not enjoying it. But I've been drinking my EmergenC so hopefully that is doing the trick.

Other than that I'm pretty upset because I was all set to beat God of War 2 last night but something is wrong with my friend's copy of the game and/or my PS2 and there was a certain point where there was nothing I could do but walk through a glowing doorway and watch the game glitch out and break. UGH.

So I started a new save on Grand Theft Auto San Andreas cause I always liked the game but never played it from start to finish. Is fun.

I also rented Lakeview Terrace yesterday cause I had nothing but time on my hands and I had wanted to see it in theaters but missed out. It was actually a pretty good flick, although I didn't quite get if we were supposed to feel sympathy for Sam Jackson's character since (spoiler) he gets shot up in a very gruesome death. I dunno though, it was still a real fun movie. I need to rent movies more often. I often go to the video store and psyche myself out of renting a movie because I'm not sure it's worth the time investment and/or I want to wait to see it with a friend or someone. Anyway.

School is school, and I have a java project due Friday that I am totally stressing over because I have no idea what to do. Tonight I am gonna try to get started at least and try to get the basics down for what I may do. Ugh.

Anyway, later!

We Ride.

Been a pretty average week here in Duluth, nothing too notable!

My breathing problem is... improving I think? I can never tell with these weird things I get. It started with me realizing I wasn't inhaling till I forced myself to, then for a week it leveled out as just having to breath weird, and now that barely happens but I have those moments where something doesn't feel right during an exhale or something and then when I inhale it's a little harder until I do this weird snoring thing in the back of my throat. I am so confused.

Chest pain still comes every day. What can you do, at least it's only for a couple seconds and not like, all day.

Alright! So, I have to do a Java project for Wireless Programming by next Friday and I am pretty concerned. I have no clue what I should do, and don't know where I should start. The good news though is I finally got Netbean with mobility applications installed. I had the hardest time figuring it out the other night because the JDK refused to install despite numerous download attempts. Finally I did it but I didn't get why it worked. I just downloaded the JDK from Netbean's own site instead of Sun Microsystems and it worked like nothing should have ever gone wrong. Weird. So at least I can work on it from home and not have to go to the school. I might anyway, I can never focus here.

All my other classes are still... ok. Blah I am just so unmotivated this semester it's not even funny. It doesn't even feel like this is my last semester of school, I mean, ever. It's so strange that it hasn't even begun to register yet. I just know that going to class and doing a homework is a bigger pain than ever before and I just want that to end. Maybe I'll change my tune in May. Doubt it.

Been playing God of War 2 finally. I tried it when it first came out but wasn't able to finish it in one rental, but my housemate owns it and since I never play World of Warcraft anymore my video game time has finally afforded it. I still haven't made it as far as I was before but I'm looking forward to it cause I'm bored doing the same frustrating puzzles I've already done before. I rarely enjoy replaying games. The only examples are like, Starfox 64, or Mario RPG, or Final Fantasy 7.

Well I better stop before I turn this into a vintage video game blog. Later!

Forget the bombs in your eyes.

Greetings happy people.

I had a very happy Valentine's day and I hope you all did too. I'm glad I didn't have to spend it alone and had a girlfriend for it, again, against all odds. I'm not gonna question it and just be happy about it. We didn't go all out or anything, just had a gift exchange (iTunes gift card! Yes! as well as a Johnny Cash album and awesome chocolate!), went out to eat on a double date with a couple entertaining friends, and watched movies together. I couldn't ask for more.

I've successfully avoided doing anything constructive for a week and a half, but my luck runs out tomorrow night when I do an essay for Spirituality and some other stuff to get back up to date. Not very smart of me but oh well, my primary concern has been "Am I dying?" and not "hmm i should probably read this chapter".

I'm getting more serious about my diet with every passing day. So I'm happy with that. I am now restricted to Subway when eating out and no longer go hunting in the frozen food aisle at the grocery store for pizza and tv dinner related products. Woo. Small victories are victories.

That's it though. Catch you all later.

Whoa whoa whoa.

So hey there. I've had a homework less week which is great. Tomorrow though I gotta do something for Java that will probably be kinda time consuming, but que sera sera. I'm just waiting for the weekend right now.

I am very happy to discover our group in Management isn't presenting for a very long time, so that is a weight off my shoulders. Glad we got that straightened out, back to slacking.

Well, till next time... tah tah.

Ice Monster

So, how about this weather eh?

I was pretty happy about how warm it was, until I realized that it directly led to ice covered roads. I went to class today without incident, and while at work study heard the roads were getting worse. I went and talked to Arshia Khan about if she was cancelling her afternoon class, and upon discovering she was, headed out. The school then got closed at noon anyway, so I basically beat the rush quite nicely.

Anyway, I am taking the night off from homework and just enjoying myself, but this week I definitely will be plenty busy working on my Management homework, my essay for Spirituality, project for Wireless, essay for Stylistic, etc. Agh!

Given how long it's been since my last post you'd think I'd have more to say but my life just isn't all that interesting right now! So I guess this is it! See ya in 2.

Leave the memories alone, don't change a thing.

I am getting back in the swing of working out. For reals.

Went to the gym last night after sitting in the library pointlessly for an hour. I was expecting a group meeting for Management class which never took place, but it's all the same to me, I don't particularly want to get to work on our presentation all that badly. And I got some other homework done so, what ev! Now tonight I am gonna try to get my Spiritual and Management homework done and hopefully I'll be caught right back up.

But yes, the gym. I went in, and it went very smoothly for once finally. It's nice that I finally was prepared for a visit. My lock worked fine, got my iPod in my arm band holder thing and working fine, my head band kept the hair out of my eyes, all in all a pleasant experience. I did some dumb bell exercises for my biceps, triceps, shoulders and chest. I started doing an excercise for my back but got a back spasm almost immediately, so I had to put that off. Did some crunches but not very many. Just trying to get back in the swing of things.

Then I got on the treadmill and my legs were ready to give out almost immediately, so I didn't get much running done. Baby steps. I'll get there if I can keep this up, and I plan on doing so.

Other than that nothing new. Class is going fine, no real complaints aside from the Management presentation I really don't want to do. I gotta do a presentation for Java friday but I'm hoping it's nothing too difficult, it's just looking up a sample Java program, explaining how it works, and alterring it ourselves. Piece of cake. I hope. Ugh,

That's all though. Cya!
