brokenrecordHeh. The squirrels on this campus are so weird. Like, when you approach most squirrels, they run away. Unless you have a bunch of food and are feeding them, and even then if you try to go too close, they'll go away. But when I was walking back from dinner yesterday, I saw these two girls holding the door open where there was this squirrel just sitting in the doorway, not really doing anything. And they were trying to shoo it outside because it's probably not a great idea if there's a squirrel running around in our dining hall, and they also probably didn't want to close the door on the squirrel. And they have like a newspaper and are kind of pushing the squirrel with it, and a book or something, and the squirrel just sits there, hanging out. And the girls are like... right next to the squirrel, and most squirrels would have run away, but that squirrel was totally comfortable being so close to them. It amused me.
Anyways, yesterday went pretty crappy. We were supposed to meet at noon to go over the math project, but one person sent me an e-mail in the morning saying he forgot he had a meeting to go to, but he'd be there like 20 minutes late, and he actually showed up then, and I mean that's fine. But the other person didn't say anything and she didn't show up until 1:30 because she forgot she also had something to do. And I gave her my cell phone number a couple of days ago, but she forgot she had it and called my room number, but we weren't in my room, so obviously I didn't pick up. sigh. And then she didn't do one of the questions she was supposed to do, so we were working on that for an hour, and then she ended up figuring it out later so I felt like I wasted time working on that question instead of working on this other question that none of us ended up getting. And I'm pretty sure that question is incomplete, but the other people in my group were like "Whatever, we can't find the exact answer, I don't think he'll care," and... I also kind of don't care since I have a great grade in the class as it is, but I don't want to bring other people's grades down because I don't care. Oh well. I also figured out I didn't one of the questions I thought I had solved wrong, so I spent like 3 hours on that which sucked. And I still think I kind of cheated to get an answer (not like... literally, like I didn't copy someone else's work or anything. Just that I took a shortcut that works but I don't think is necessarily true for all cases? If that makes sense? I don't know), so we'll probably get points off on that. But last Friday for our quiz he said we probably weren't prepared enough for it so it'd be a group quiz with our project groups, and I ended up knowing how to do everything and they didn't know how to do like anything, so I think I've made up for costing us points on the problem set by getting us a good grade on the quiz. We'll see, I guess. I really just need to stop stressing out about it.
My 10:50 class was canceled today which was nice because it gave me a little more time to work on the math project and to do some other stuff I should have done last night for another class, but it also sucks just because I spent a good 3 hours on the homework for that class yesterday (god yesterday sucked. It was just completely filled with homework. I had to miss the Emmys, which made me a little sad. Although not really that much, because nothing I want to win ever does) and I could have spent that time on this project or on the thing I'm doing now.
Also, the next two weeks basically suck. I have a German test Wednesday, Developmental Psych test Friday, Research in Psych test Monday, and Developmental Psych 5-page research paper and presentation due Friday. gah. I didn't realize that a 5-page research paper was apart of the project, so... I guess I'm going to be writing a paper this weekend! Joy. God I hate writing papers. But I think it's my only actual... paper-type paper this semester. I have another 5-page paper due in a month or so, but it's on a book and it's more answering questions. But yeah, not looking forward to that. But then it's parents' weekend a week from this Thursday (the day before my paper/project for Developmental Psych is due. ugh. So I probably want to get that done sooner so I can spend more time with my parents) so at least I have that to look forward to. I can't believe it's already almost parents' weekend. It feels like this semester just started, but we're already like a month in, nearly. And Fall Break is only two weeks after that, which is awesome (I already have a ticket to fly home for the weekend. I'm looking forward to it. I miss my birds), and then the semester is half over. I actually think I have less projects/major stuff to do the second half of this semester than the first, which is usually not the case. Oh well. I'll manage.
I'm ridiculously excited for How I Met Your Mother tonight! A lot of my favorite shows are premiering this week. Why couldn't they premiere like a week or two ago when I had almost nothing to do? I don't approve. I probably will miss a bunch of stuff this week, which sucks. I'm definitely watching HIMYM and Gossip Girl tonight, though. Prison Break will have to wait. I'm also going to find the time sometime this weekend to post my OTP picspam. (Clearly it takes precedence over schoolwork. I totally have my priorities straight.)
