306: Surely it catches up to me eventually

Because I finished the project I needed to get done this week on Wednesday, I didn't really need to do anything in 329, but I had to go because he was discussing the details for the final project in that class, and we split into groups for it.

305: Zonked

I am so so tired. This is that same bone-tired that I've been talking about for a little while now, it's really just burnout. Today was pretty good; Italian this morning was great (literally adore that class), and then I had breakfast and hung out at

304: Fall in love with your friends

That's a command, and I mean it in multiple ways. The first, and the one that I keep thinking about when this thought runs through my head is in the friendship-can-be-love sense. I love my friends, truly, though not romantically. I think the immediate association of love with

303: Oh Boy

I only had one class today, but I still spent the vast majority of today working, and now I'm writing this at 1:06AM. Joyous day. I did get a bunch of stuff done; I applied for a scholarship, did multiple classes' homework, studied for a midterm

302: "Y'know, if we had skateboards, we wouldn't be late for class"

The title is a quote from someone at the Library today, leaving at the same time as me (like 12:04 for a 12:10 class), and I was on time, but if I was them, I wouldn't have been. I was kinda dreading 329 today, and I

301: Paaaaaancakeeeees

Today was pretty good. I got up at 9, because I needed to get to Chip's for brunch, and I still had to put my skateboard together. I also woke up to the news that my server was down, because of course it was. I got it back

300: 1 to 1

I went to bed last night at the tail end of the 1AM hour, and I got up this morning at the tail end of the 1PM hour. Absolutely ridiculous.

299: Friendly, but not kind

The title today sounds like it's mean, but it actually isn't. It's a phenomenon I've noticed in some people where they do nice things (holding the door for you, for example), but without any air of kindness. They stand at the door

298: Another one on the books

Today feels insignificant. Sometimes writing these posts can be hard, because I get really used to the day-to-day workings of my life, so on a day where nothing in particular happened (like today), it can be hard to talk about it, because my brain has already screened almost everything that

297: Ayg

It's now the next morning, and just to maintain continuity, I think I was tired. I got like 6 and a half hours of sleep and had a monster, so I'm feeling much better. I had a little orientation thing for my summer study abroad this

296: Burnt out on nothing

I've been having this weird experience lately of feeling rather burnt out; my intrinsic motivation to do most things, even and especially things I would normally do, has dried up, and I'm just tired. I think some of it is simply that I am just tired;

295: Saved By The Boys

Today was really nice; I had half of my classes canceled because Professoressa Teresiana is at a conference of some kind, but I also managed to sleep in and very nearly miss the classes I did have. El spent the night, and she had classes at 10, so she had

293: Making a goddamn Dasani Ad

One of my favorite sets of photos from last night's show are the ones of Asa's Dasani water bottle, which was sitting on one of the amps, framed such that there is one of the members of the band in the background, they look like this:

292: High Times

Today has been fantastic. I might actually get this post out before midnight; we;re T-minus 20 minutes at this point. I got up earlier than intended by ~ 10 minutes because THE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF THIS MORNING. It wasn't actually that big of a deal, it was

291: Building shit

I love building shit. For the last good while it's been my answer to "what do you do for fun", and honestly, I don't think it'll ever stop being my answer. My collegiate career is based on building shit. My hobbies are

290: It's in the game

Today was weird, but also refreshingly normal. Shit happened. I sounded broken, but other than some coughing, actually felt okay. I'm going to skip the boring and mundane parts, but Italian was good, 329 was good, and 308 was good. Wind Power was also good, because we finished

289: Sick day 2!

But not contiguous sick days, which is almost worse. If you remember, I had a sick day last week, but it was last Thursday, and then last Friday and Saturday were totally fine, but Sunday was a little rough, and yesterday was terrible. I had hoped I would be better

288: "You're ridiculous"

Howdy folks, it's El again :) Did you miss me? I decided to start today's post just for funsies. Luke is in class right now, and I should probably be doing homework, but why would I do that when I can do this? I learned this morning

287: What a weekend

I'm back, it's me again. I was really excited to read El's post when I got back to service this morning, because I didn't provide much guidance at all, but I think she did a fantastic job with it, as I knew

284: Sick Day

Today was even weirder than Tuesday was, honestly, but mostly in a good way. When we (both El and I) woke up this morning, we were both still tired (shhh), and both still sick. She was sick enough to call off going to class entirely, and after I found out

283: More Than Just a Dream

I feel a little bit like a broken record here, but I freaking love my girlfriend. I don't have a ton more to say than that, both because knowing what to follow that with is hard, and because I feel like if I start being specific I don&

282: Naptime!!

If we've ever talked about naps, dear reader, then you'll know that it is nearly physiologically impossible for me to nap. I simply don't. The last time I took a nap was probably when I was 3 years old, but the criteria all aligned

281: "We do this every fuckin day!"

Today's story is from on-call tonight, when Mike and I were doing the rounds, one of the bathrooms wasn't very responsive, so I went and knocked on every shower stall individually and got responses that way. Then one of them goes "what was that for?
