you are the afterglow

current song: franz ferdinand - the dark of the matinèe

I love the intro to this song.

So tomorrow I need to get up early in order to mathematica all the answers to my calc lab. And then once I've calculated and labeled and formatted my heart out, I'll print it, and send it, and be done with the damn thing. And then I'll read my comp sci homework between math and japanese, or between japanese and comp sci. And I'll also write my blurb on my time log and find a place to print it.

However, not all is wrong in the world. Game dev club was surprisingly fun this time. Wanna know the secret? I paid attention to the flash presentation, which I understood, and when the OpenGL tutorial began, and I didn't get it, I instead talked to the graduate student sitting next to me about pointers and the manipulation of data types and the differences between gl and directx. Ah, joy. I like Daniel. He's cool! In a nerdy way. After all, he is a math graduate. Who is now pursuing a degree in computer science.

Yesterday (two days ago?) was Eric's birthday. It's odd. I remember what I got him last year as a birthday present. I miss him, and my other friends, and high school... but only a little. I've been really surprised at how... comfortable I am here. I like it here. It feels like I belong.

And even though most people are leaving for fall break, Cam said he'd be back on Thursday. And I'll have the dorm room all to myself. Hooray.
