Today was David and I’s three year anniversary-type thing, as I’ve referred to it today. Time flies, doesn’t it? Anyways, because of our busy schedules, the only special, extraordinary thing that we managed to do today was watch V for Vendetta. It was good, as always.

I suppose there were other things about today that were more than just extraordinary. For instance, the fact that I spent about an hour in a cemetery after sunset to take a staff photo with the rest of my coworkers. It sounds morbid, really, until you understand that the theme of this year’s yearbook was “the dash” and so it was rather fitting to take our staff photo in a cemetery among the graves. Or at least that was what it was supposed to be about, but really it was just damn cold and we were standing on dead people. Or something. Anyway, it was creepy to be in a cemetery in the dark among all the graves. I’m an easily startled person and so I was wary that someone would decide it would be hilarious to come up behind me quickly and make me scream in terror but luckily nobody knew about this particular impairment of mine. I’m even startled when I open a door and someone happens to be standing in the hallway behind it, even when I know that they’re there. I’m sure the photo will turn out great and it is really rather unique but it will take some explaining and I’m not sure that everyone will get it. I’m not even sure I do, yet.

I’ve made up a list of what I want to accomplish here and I hope it will help me stay on track and get motivated to do something as far as new stuff goes. I won’t tell you what’s on the list, but I think it will be useful stuff. We’ll just have to see how things go because I have three exams next week and I plan on studying a whole lot. I also have a C# program due on Friday that I really need to get moving on but I just haven’t had that much time. I really can’t wait until spring break.

Life just sucks sometimes. I’ve come to realize that. It’s a basic truth. Life’s going to suck but you’ve got to believe that somewhere, sometime, it’s going to not suck.

… or at least that’s my little “deep insight” of the day. College classes beat the crap out of you. Well, maybe just me. What’s so ironic is that the class that I give the least of a damn about is the one that I have a 99.29% in (I leave class early all the time, I hardly study). I’m really struggling to find that mixture of what I need to do to do well - because what I did in high school isn’t working any more. I’ve made up a study schedule that according to some online study sites is the first step. I’m planning on covering all new material this weekend, and then spending these “study hours” just reviewing material. Hopefully this new strategy will help drive home all the new information so that I’m not scrambling for answers on the exams. We’ll see, though, I’ve already tried a few tactics that haven’t helped whatsoever - but here’s hoping.

I’m addicted to Facebook.com. (Don’t count on me adding you as a friend, though, because I’m really picky and routinely ‘prune’ my friends list.) Anyways, it seems like every hour (okay, every thirty minutes), I find myself clicking my bookmark icon for Facebook just because I want to see what’s happenin’. Even though I live a relatively boring and solitary life, I’m constantly wondering “what’s happening”. Is there something wrong with me? Hell yes. Do I care? Hell no.

I’m listening to Say Anything and that’s influencing my mental processes at the moment, so please excuse any weird outbursts that a song about laying in bed in boxers half-stoned with a pillow under my head…

As you can tell, this post is mostly just a post that I initially forced myself to write and now I’m rambling about.

I have a psychology exam tomorrow and I’m really not looking forward to it at all. It’s one of those subjects that seem easy up until they ask you a weird question that common sense can’t answer, or that common sense contradicts the actual answer. So we’ll see how it goes - I’ll just have to turn off “common sense” for this one.

I’ve just went through and updated all my plugins. That took quite awhile, and I deleted a lot of plugins that were laying about in the folder that I had never even used. This is actually the first time that I’ve ever bothered updating plugins. Do you?

I’ve got one really good idea for a new brush set and I’m throwing around a few more. Like I’ve said previously, if there’s any specific set you’d like to see or even a general type, let me know. I’ve made so many brush sets that I’m just sort of out of ideas at this point.

I’ve got a quiz tomorrow in my Macroeconomics class. I’m not too excited, but I don’t think it will be that hard. The professor just said to review our notes and we’d be fine. (But don’t they always say that? heh.) I’ve also got an online quiz to do for my geology class, which turned out to be quite the fiasco. You see, I have to walk twenty minutes away - all the way across campus - just to get to class (and, since, you know, it’s 6 degrees Fahrenheit out, it was no big deal [/sarcasm]) for a class that runs from 7:05PM - 9:55PM and is filled with a bunch of stereotypical college students. Half of them had laptops and were mindlessly surfing Facebook instead of paying attention to the lecture, and the other half were jabbering in the back of the lecture hall. It just wasn’t very pleasant. At least I only have that class once a week…

I’ve finished up that C# program I mentioned in my last post. It didn’t end up being so hard after all. Two while loops and a few if/else statements later and it was finished. One down, three more to go. Oh my.

I’m officially to the Forest Temple in Twilight Princess. It admittedly took me awhile to get used to how the game works and there were a few points where I was in the right place and trying the right things, but I just wasn’t doing them in exactly the right way for it to work. For example, when I was supposed to sneak up on the villagers talking about the shield, I was creeping up to listen, but just not close enough. It took me forever to realize that by sneaking closer I could listen to more of the conversation. I initially assumed I was just in the wrong place or something. At this rate, who knows how long it will take me to get through the first temple… haha
