Fun times at college.

differing lectures and a cash prize

Published: 27 April 2008
Friday’s networking lecture was darn near pointless because the professor spent the majority of the time talking about networking topics that he thought were cool, but that aren’t actually going to be on the final. He gave a mini-review of what the final might cover, but only because I asked him. He glossed [...]

photos of the new place

Published: 21 April 2008
The following are some photos I took today of mine and Jessica’s new apartment. Living room: Balcony: Washer/dryer: Kitchen: Dining room: Bathrooms: Bedrooms: Applicable algebra was awesome today because 1) we had it outside and 2) my professor is crazy. (This is the crazy Swedish professor I’ve mentioned before, just to clarify.) So the class was trooping outside [...]

art project and varnish

Published: 3 April 2008
While using StumbleUpon last night, I found a really neat art project: The Monster Engine. The premise to it is “what would a child’s drawing look like if it were painted realistically?” The result is pretty cool; I particularly enjoy the chomping baseball and this fellow. All the art shown has [...]

here’s the end of Pages for me

Published: 28 March 2008
I’m trying to type a paper about the cinematic features of Alfred Hitchcock’s Frenzy for one of my classes, and I’m using Pages to do it. I’m typing up my Works Cited page and one line starts with “1972″ because I’m citing the DVD of Frenzy I watched, and the movie was released in [...]

linear algebra suckitude

Published: 21 February 2008
Watch out, folks, this entry will contain a lot of bitching and moaning. I got my linear algebra test back this morning and was disgruntled and surprised to find I’d made a B on it. I well expected an A because I can totally do row operations and matrix algebra. On most sections I [...]

writing a server

Published: 10 February 2008
Yarrgh, I have been programming all day, since I got up at 10:30 this morning. I’ve been working on my networking assignment, which was to write a server in C++ that had minor support for cookies, ran on the given port, and could handle both HTML and images. I finally finished it but [...]

etiquette training

Published: 1 February 2008
Last night, as part of my leadership class, I had to attend a formal dinner and etiquette training. It was actually pretty fun and I felt like I learned a lot about social niceties. There are so many crazy little details that seemed to border on ridiculousness, and I know I don’t remember [...]

review of my classes

Published: 10 January 2008
I’ve had every class at least once now, so here were my first impressions: applicable algebra My professor is the same one I had for Calculus IV, and he’s just as wacky as ever (the nutty Swede). I figure it will be another tricky class, like calculus was, but just as enjoyable because he’s a very [...]

being Alice and stress over finals

Published: 11 December 2007
I had a dream the other night about being stuck in the video game American McGee’s Alice. I was Alice, of course, and I was trying to beat the Mad Hatter but I just couldn’t do it. No matter how I tried or what cheat codes I used, I couldn’t kill him and [...]

database project and dead week

Published: 6 December 2007
My database project is past the “omigosh are we going to get it done in time??” stage and into the “what neat feature can I add next?” stage, which is a big relief. If you guys want to play with it, I have it here on 3till7.net. We’re doing a demo of it [...]
