Tomorrow I have a System Skills in C (programming) final. If I ace I won't have to do a programming assignment tomorrow night. Then I'll get to play in a free poker tournament and be generally happy. The problem is that I'm not that good in this class. Anyway, wish me luck.
That's right it's name is just "N". This is a super free-ware game in which you get to be a Super Secret Ninja. You can download the game at this super site. The only problem is that you need a super fast computer to get it to run smoothly. It's still a super game though.
In other news, my life is finally getting less super busy.
Isn't that super?
I set up an AIM chatbot, so now you can talk to it since I am too busy for conversations. It's at the AIM screen name "mattf bot" Check it out!
Except for poker, today was the worst, and I don't say that much. I got a D on a test, found out that I'd miss that band (see below), and caught a cold (I think - I'll find out tomorrow). Now, I have tests next week Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, one project due Wednesday and two Friday (one is extra credit - now obligitory because of that D), along with all the sundry homeworks due in a week.
And then finals begin!
I was going to post my old rageful picture here, but I don't feel like looking up the filename.
Anyway, a band I like (a rare thing), Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, is coming to CMU Wed, May 12 at 8:00PM. The problem is that I have to completely vacate my dorm room by 12:00 PM. That means, at 12:00 PM my parents will be here, and my stuff will be all loaded into their car. In short, I'll just miss seeing this awesome group.
To go with the last posts theme, here is a haiku:
I wish I could see
Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey
Alas, eight hours.
I've been writing haikus for my professor evalulations in the comment sections. Here are the one's I've done so far. I'll do more as I finish up more evaluations.
1.
You teach very well
Differential Equations
I learned very much
2.
Your tests are too hard
They do not reflect homework
This is a problem
3.
My only problem-
I must do too much group work
To ace these projects.
Today I get to schedule my classes for next semster. Here is what mine will look like: My Schedule
Remember the commercial with the kid brushing his teeth, who leaves the water on? It played a lot when I was a kid (middle 80s early 90s). After he leaves the water on, through his window, you see a lake with a fish in it and the water drains away to nothing. Soon the fish is flopping around. Does anyone remember this?
I think this is the root of people's beliefs in a responsibility to conserve water. I'm not sure where this commercial came from, but almost everyone I know my age turns off the water after wetting their toothbrush. Most of them remember this commercial when I ask them about it. I think this commercial is directly responsible for this activity.
Edit 2 - Now with better grammar!
The first part of this is easy: Kill Bill ruled. If you haven't seen the second part, see it, and if you haven't seen the first part, see both.
Now for the mass transit rant. The ride to the movie theater was uneventful. The ride home was terrible. Normally one would expect a bus would go from where one was picked up to one's destination. The bus I took, however, went to a video store where the driver got out, and either returned or rented a video, and then made it's way back to the stop where we were picked up in a path that looks like this: O. This was not helpful. It picked up more passengers, some of which, had chosen not to get on this bus when we originally did, and then proceeded to make it's way to my destination.
Kill Bill gets 10 incredibly long eyebrows out of 10 and the bus gets 2 wheels on the bus out of 10.
I filled out a survey on blogging the other day, and it asked me why I blog.
I couldn't answer, so I just picked one of their multiple choice answers.
After thinking about it for a couple of days, I think I might know the answer. Kayla and I discussed blogging a while ago, and she said she though that the reason for all the whiny Xangas out there is due to what she called an "invisible audience". People who wrote these things because they thought or wanted to believe that someone read what they wrote, that someone cared about what they had to say, even if all they have to say is how much their life sucks or rocks at any given moment.
This is partly why I blog, but I think this is more accurate. My blog is really just a place for me to write. Stupid game reviews especially, when I can't think of anything else to say. But occasionally I'll think of something funny, or write a poem, or simply want to announce something, or link somewhere else. Everyone who writes simply wants to be read. By writing here I have the chance for others to read what I write. I know that most people who happen upon this site through Google or some other method, probably doesn't care, but maybe someone does read something once and a while, and it makes them think, or laugh, or try out a random game (they all are really good, I swear).
I blog because I want others to hear what I have to say. And so, I'll keep on blogging.
