Well, I'm all done with finals now. I'm kinda sick right now and I'm working at the front desk. I've said a lot of silly things and am finding things quite hilarious whilst not being myself. I was really upset about not being able to taste the Butterfinger that I have for dessert. Finals are done, but I honestly don't think I did that well on my math final that I had today. It was 15 multiple choice, upon which, I think I guessed on about 10 of 'em and then 2 work through problems, and I know I did one of them correctly, the other one I got about half of it. I got a D on my engineering final (which was quite atrocious) and I got a B- in the class unless he curves it and I'll get an B in the class. I think the only classes I may get an A in are Organic Chem and Physics..

On a happy note, I got to play Spyro the Dragon for the PSone and I beat it 5 and a half hours with 120% completion. (they have a bonus level that is accessible if you get 100% on the overall game.) So I'm happy about that. Videogames are a nice release and a way to veg out after finals. I'm excited for winter break though. I can't wait to get to go up to Canada to visit one of my best friends from growing up. I think since the legal drinking age up there is 19 we may visit some pubs or something, just to see what they're like and all. I think the people I'm going with aren't really too keen on drinking or anything, and neither am I, but I wouldn't mind tasting things. After I come back from Canada I am on duty for Break housing, so that'll be work, but it'll be nice to be paid $20/day for just hanging out and doing rounds and having the phone and getting to read books and do whatever I wish.

My friend is coming over tomorrow to visit with me at 1pm before I have duty that evening for which I'm pretty excited. Though I'm not that good at coming up with things we can do while being here on campus, for there isn't much to see if you're not giving tours or anything, but I may wanna just walk around downtown Corvallis or go to book shops and maybe even do some shopping (for I need to do my Secret Santa Shopping for our Sackett Staff night).

I'm really loving my residents. Even though there are some 'trouble makers' they all have good hearts and I really do appreciate them. I got a card that was signed by the majority of them and I got super excited about it. I put it on my bulletin board. And then another couple of residents wrote me more heartfelt messages in a card that they gave me before break. It makes me feel like I'm actually doing something that is worthwhile when I get message like that.

Anyways, just jammin' at the desk listening to some dubstep-y stuff at the desk. Apparently I'm not the type to listen to it.. However, I beg to differ since I love to blast this stuff while driving. :)
Thanks for reading my complaints and random ramblings while I'm sick.

Well, I've had the last few days of work off and in that time, I haven't really accomplished all that much. I've been busy with fun things, so I suppose that is something. Technically I'm supposed to have the 4th thru the 8th off, but there was nothing to do on the 3rd, so I took that off, and I'm going to be helping a group check-in for conferences on the 8th since we'll be short staffed, so it's okay. I'm excited to actually work, for hanging out here and not doing anything makes me feel horribly guilty. It's weird just living right above the central office of UHDS and seeing everyone come in for work when you decide to sleep in past 8am and lounge around in your pajamas. It's not very do-able, I feel horrible about it, so I just tend to stay cooped up in my room and continue to sleep and read. I read til my eyes are tired, then I sleep. When I wake up I continue where I left off at. Let's see, what have I been up to the past few days.. W...

A Relaxing and Agonizing Day

I'm a little bit in a conflict here.. If you couldn't tell by the title. Today has been really nice. My Electrical Fundamentals class was canceled, and I only have 2 classes today, and a decent amount of time between the two. However, tomorrow, a ton of stuff is due. I have Statics, an Engineering Data lab (which we were poorly informed and the lab was poorly written, not really a great combo..), and lastly, this lovely thing called a speech, which makes me ever so nervous. When I was younger, I had to get up and give speeches. In 7th grade, I had to give a speech on Little House on the Prairie, but I wasn't ready for it.. I was so nervous.. I got up in front of the class.. and started crying. Needless to say, I didn't have to give the speech. I had to do it the next day, but still I was better then, but there is something about getting up in front of people, having their undivided attention, and delivering information that they are supposed to somehow benefit from, ...

Rain, Rain, Go Away

You ever have those days, where every little things gets to you? The tiny moments that, in the grand scheme of things, should be nothing, you can brush it off sure, but eventually you can't take it. Finals have been my defeat today. That and the additional weight of everything else. I think I'm just going to have a bit of an emotional rant and wallow in my own self pity for a moment, so if you are looking for some encouragement, I encourage you to look elsewhere. Today was my two hardest finals. Back to back, engineering and physics. engineering is transient balances, the change in temperature with respects to time or mass over time, etc. The rest of engineering, I get, but this concept, killed me. That and a few other little things like the heat capacity of ice can be used at all temperatures through the process, only to be found that when my friend had clarified with a TA that you weren't supposed to make that assumption, even though it stated that in the problem. Let...
