more complaints about centralized temperature control.
it got up to 60 *F here today, very nice for this time of year.
but the dorms didn't turn the heat off...so it's something like 80 *F inside
I wonder if it really saves them so much money that it's worth having days where the heat should/shouldn't be on
if it's 60 *F the heat is on
if it's 15 *F the heat is off
Went to the IEEE meeting tonight (presentaion about ocean surveying techniques)
got free food and drink...free is almost always good for a college student.
still stuck on some of my homework, and you wouldn't think the question would be that hard...but I don't have an equation that does what I need.
that means I haven't been editing for the past few days
took about a day and a half, but I got over that midori days thing I mentioned in a previous entry.
last thought before I go get some not so free food: Hope I see some of ya at anime detour, though I probably wouldn't say anything unless someone asked me about it. -

Spent the whole day (up to now) at a marathon put on by my local anime club.
We watched Midori days (Midori no hibi), and it was pretty good.
There were only 10 people including myself, but any more people would probably have made the room uncomfortable.
Every now and then I like to watch a series like that...but it almost always makes me feel lonely, then the same thought process goes through my head every time (I don't feel like elaborating more on that)
but it's usually nothing that some good 'ol action can't take care of (too bad I don't really have anything like that at the moment)
it was a good thing that I anticipated the need for my laptop (saved me a trip back to my room). This was the club's second marathon (first one we watched the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) and the second time we used my laptop to play the series.
My brother was the one who picked out this laptop for me (he and my dad went to best buy about 2 years ago to look for something I might like) and I got it with my graduation money. It's a nice laptop, hope it lasts for awhile.
The next marathon (next month sometime) is the one I'm choosing the series for. I got a really good reaction when I brought in Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu one day, so I'm going to be showing that (I'll be cringing through it though because of the horrible R1 quality, I'm sure everyone reading this has heard me complain about this before)
my mep segment is coming along nicely I think, haven't gotten to work on it today because of the marathon. Sometimes you just have to start over from the beginning.
I should finish up my homework tonight, it'l probably prevent the depressed feeling that usually follows when I finish a series like Midori days -

what is it about people spreading lies about me recently.
@sub_0: I did not take the ice cream, although I did take the frozen custard and know why the rum is always gone.
@sky: me? punting cats!?! ...but I'm a cat person. I would never do such a thing.
you have some wierd dreams man
Finally found a check from work from January...and got around to depositing it.
speaking of work...I'v been thinking of odering delivery sometime, looking like it'l be tonight. Pizza Hut has the cheesy bites again...which is a pain to make but is really good (lucky for me I had to go back to school right before it started each time...but that doesn't mean I haven't had to make a few)
too bad I can't get my manager discount down here -

disk 3 came today *happiness*, so naturally I've already watched it all.
it doesn't give me too much more material for my segment...but it's better than nothing.
I'll probably be able to figure something out.
...but not right now, gotta start on my thermo.
Finished up watching Grenadier in anime club, and I finished last exile (again) yesterday. I'm definately getting into the mood.
...not THAT mood you perverts, editing. [/glaring right at you]
going home next weekend (spring break Minnesota style) and with a little luck I'll be attending anime detour with two other org-ers (more obscure...but both members)
this morning I was reminded of the feeling that made me pledge never to take another 7am course (this one is at 8am). I know that I need to get up for class but I just feel miserable...and then after class I can't decide if I'm tired enough to go back to bed for 1.75 hours. Good thing that I have Friday to sleep in (since I don't have class until 2pm)
10 hits short of 2000, so I'm sure I'll hit it with this entry...assuming that kikai, beth and ben (sub_0...not sky) don't start chatting it up again.
I look forward to continuing to corrupt my reader's minds [/evil] -

had an exam on friday in statics, got the results back yesterday.
86%
got 10% off for one question (the whole class didn't do well on that question)
other than that it was just stupid errors...the first one was a sign error (my math gave me 6 but I wrote -6 :/ )
and the second one, I put a direction on a scalar (scalars don't have a direction)
In another brief moment of inspiration I got some more of my segment done...I would've gotten more but premiere decided to hang on me. Too many scattered preview files I guess...or something like that. A quick wipe of those solved the problem.
I'm getting pretty tired of people who lack common sense...namely the person in the single room next to me. Has friends over anywhere from 11pm to 2am or 3am on weekdays...and they don't seem to notice that people might be trying to sleep.
and when his friends aren't over he's playing halo 2 on xbox live...until 2am.
normally that wouldn't be bad, but he just has to turn his music up (you can hear it clearly outside of his door. The loudest I've had it, which is fairly loud, can hardly be heard outside my door.) that and he's one of those people who get really into it and start yelling obsenities...until 2am.
when I start to get annoyed I get more and more confrontational (usually I give people the benefit of the doubt, but there is a point where I realize that it isn't working and "switch methods" if you will. That usually works)
That reminds me of this one time in high school where some imbeciles decided it would be fun to walk past and shove people in my group of friends (who hung out at one of the guys's locker between class) into the wall, lockers, or into other people.
It went on for a few weeks, during which the incidents where reported to the administration (but what a suprise...THEY IGNORED US! ...and people wonder why columbine happened and similar shootings continue to happen)
one day I had had enough, the guy came by, shoved one of my friends. I then proceded to grab him by his collar and tell him off. The guy I grabbed made some emptry threats, swore a bit, and then I pushed him away.
the administration was alerted again, and this time they decided to listen. not too much later they idiots were caught in the act and tried to deny it up and down. They never did it again. That guy was lucky I held back, even my friends were suprised at how I stood up for them.
