whatever I feel like doing!

I had something to say, I swear.

What's going on in my life? I don't know. Life seems uneventful.

On Monday I drag myself out of bed in order to get to class at eleven. Since no one shows up in the engineering center before then, no point to get there early.

So I sit through comp sci, alternating between doodling on my notebook and glancing over at Spencer and/or Cam's computer screen... And we all file out and sometimes I'll say hi to John and feel bad that I don't go over to Kitt anymore.

After that I go with the boys to Farrand. Food is good. But I generally want to leave early, so I don't get to Japanese too late. It seems to make Spencer nervous. I suppose I'll have to stop hovering and just leave once I'm done with my food.

So around 12:30 I've been trying to leave for Japanese. This is so that I can get to the Humanities building before the previous class gets out, thus giving me the chance to say hello to Tsutsui-sensei, and Chris. He's not been coming to both classes the past few days, which isn't surprising, since he seems to be suffering The Cold From Hell (trademark). He's been put on Codeine, though, so that seems to be improving his mood at the very least.

And, from 1 to 2, I suffer through the joy of Japanese. I feel lost in a lot of ways... It's fun, though. I enjoy it. I sit near Eno and Chen-san, and there are a few people I've talked to who seem pretty nice: Lili, Megan (Casey-san), Joshua, and a few others. And Michael (Knudson, or however you spell it... the one from last semester's CSCI 1300 class) and Phil (of Kitt fame) are there too, though they sit across the room and I don't really talk to them.

So around 1:50 or 1:55 I tromp back to the engineering center and wait for Daniel to show up... Around 2:55 I head off to linear algebra and by the time I get back, at 3:55, I find Daniel and Jude chatting amiably. So I go with Daniel to his four o'clock class and go back to find Jude and hang out with him till our class at 4:15.

The Gamelets class, though we've only had it once so far, should be interesting. Eric (the president of GameDev), Michael (Knudson, again... I think he's in three of my four classes, it's odd), and Jude are all present. Plus there's a girl Gabbie, who came to GameDev this week, who seems quite nice. And I hear rumor that Cami, also from GameDev, is set to join us next week.

So last Monday after gamelets I ran off with Jude to dinner then we rode the Buff Bus together, and he trekked back to his dorm as I trekked over to Daniel's. That was entertaining. Next week, apparently, Genny will be coming over to have dinner with Daniel and play such fascinating card games as Nerds and Spoons (and Crazy 8's if I have any say)... So I'll be skipping the dinner-with-Jude part and just hopping on the Buff Bus as soon as class gets out.

Tuesdays are even more fascinating. I roll out of bed in time to get to the Engineering Center by 10:45 (hopefully fully showered and full of breakfast), where I hang out with Daniel till his class at 12:30, at which point I head off to Japanese. Joy.

Then I run back to the Center for an hour and a half of fun, from 2 to 3:30, until the boys and I wander over to our comp sci recitation. Last week was entertaining, we were challenged to find the millionth prime number, and Spencer wrote a program that was faster than the TA's. Granted, it took the TA about 3 minutes to type up his program, and it took Spencer 3 hours... Speaking of which, we didn't get out of there until 7 last time (the recitation ends at 4:45 for chrissake!) So we ate at Wendy's afterwards, and I was twitching nervously as Cam screeched to a halt besides the engineering building at 8:05. Oh well, I was only 15 minutes late to GameDev, at least.

On Wednesday I again roll out of bed for class at 11, and wander through my day. This Wednesday, as Spencer and Cam and I were filing out of computer science class at eleven (Jude was apparently ditching), someone called my name (and I have the feeling it wasn't the first time, as by the time I heard it, it sounded rather insistent), and so I turned around, and lo and behold! There was Chaffin. It was ... surreal. And cool. I'll call him sometime soon, and maybe we can hang out, catch up on old times, something like that.

Wednesdays are much like Mondays, except, there's no 4:15 class this time. Instead, Spencer and Cam and Jude and Jaime and I hang out in the engineering lobby until 5:15, when Daniel gets out of his class, and we all head over to Jaime's place to watch Firefly. And yesterday, as Daniel and I were wandering about after Firefly ended, Amy called and so we ended up working out. I'm glad, I feel much healthier now. Exercise is good, and I know it is so, even though you may not think it from how much I whine about it.

Thursdays I have only one class, so this week and last I hung out with Daniel both before and after Japanese. Very exciting.

Fridays I'm a bit fuzzy on, as I've only had one so far. Last week, it ended up much like Wednesday, except there was no Daniel (he has work instead of class on Fridays) and instead of heading off to Firefly, we all went to Spencer's house and watched Battlestar Galactica. I had class at 3:00, when Spencer and Jude left, so I waited for Cam to finish exercising with Jaime so he could drive me. I spent most of my time talking to Amy (big Amy) while I waited. Hopefully in subsequent weeks I'll be able to go to Anime.

Last Saturday I finished my World of Warcraft download and got on long enough to say bye to my mom before running off to meet Jaime and Jude. And we all drove off to Cam's party. Which was quite fun.

Last Sunday I went over to Daniel's and met Marilyn and her husband (and baby!) and we all went to Denny's. And I played WoW with Mom.

Last Monday I hung out with Daniel. We... did stuff.

And... that's it. Pretty much.

Tomorrow hopefully I'll get to exercise with Amy again and go to Anime. And on Saturday I'll have lunch with Sarah, and then go to SciFi with Daniel...

Hey, we'll have been going out for two months come Saturday. That's pretty nifty.

Oh, and of course I'll have to play with my Tauren hunter some. Don't want Mom's Tauren character to get rusty or something.
