Members only 255: Cognitive Dissonance Jack said something today along the lines of "I don't understand the disconnect between your confidence and your expressed opinions about yourself" as part of a larger conversation we were having about compliments and (specifically my) self-image; and I found it really interesting.
Members only 254: Groundhog day Today felt the same as yesterday; that being very very strange, but in a good way. I'm in this weird limbo time right now for finals week, where I don't have a schedule, and I have maybe one thing every day; today feels like if yesterday
Members only 253: Out! With girlfriend This is a weird one, again, because I'm not at home (and I won't be until tomorrow!).
Members only 252: I've been pranked I actually fully saw this one coming, to be honest, it's completely in-character for the residents that I suspect were involved. This is a photo of my door, with my little sign denoting my location and status. It originally just said "I am" and then "
251: Mostly yesterday This post is a weird one, because I feel like I did more things in the time before writing yesterday's post than in the time since. That's not strictly true, but because I map the "days" in my posts to sleep cycles, rather than
Members only 249: Closing time If you took a case study of all of the titles for all of my posts, I'm willing to bet the largest category that isn't just some reference to my day is musical references, like this one! I'm gonna go play the song right
248: One attempted murder and a bomb later... I don't have a photo for today, I really need to go out and just take a bunch. I'll probably have time for that sometime next week, which will be fun, and then I'll have a ton of photos from spring break. Things in
Members only 247: Making the landing It's all starting to come together. I've got wayyyy too many things going on right now, but they're starting to all converge into a complete timeline. My schoolwork is converging to a known value, and I'm slowly chipping away at it. I
Members only 246: SNACKTIME I've mentioned it before, but I put together a snack bin and hung it on my door at the beginning of the quarter, and it was a massive success, so I decided to do it again for the end of the quarter. I made it to the store
Members only 245: Running, but also not Today was great, but it was weird. Lots of stuff going on, all in parallel, and mostly based on a concept of a plan. I had a number of things I wanted to get done today, and to be fair, I did get all of the ones I needed done,
244: Pop! Today was good! It started pretty standard; Cody and I got to the Hangar early to figure out some stuff for Blades testing, and then I was there until like 5PM working on Wind Power stuff, but it was all pretty good. We have our controls box completely done, all
243: Unbridled Chaos Today was more than a little insane. Lots and lots of stuff happening. To start, 307 was actually a pretty decent class, and our final is a take-home!! Those classes aren't even real at this point, both professors are doing take-home finals, so none of us are going
Members only 242:Game night!! Today was busy, but it was a full, happy busy. I'm just embracing my caffeine dependence now, so I picked up one of the pink monsters (I think it's strawberry cream flavor), and it was pretty good, so I'll probably get it again (maybe
Members only 241: How'd he do what he do? Two Words: On Purpose. The title today is a bar from one of the silliest internet videos I've seen recently, a rap from "Drippo the Hippo". There's a few videos of him (the hippo) doing little rap songs about how cool he is, and I must say, he
Members only 240: Big Stinky Gaming Power Today really started at 3 in the morning, when my first alarm went off. I didn't mention it in last night's post because I wanted to get it done quick so I could get to bed (something that is also true tonight), and because I wasn&
Members only 239: Back into the thick of it I don't know how this happened so fast, but my week is already scheduled out the wazoo. To be fair, my definition of "heavily scheduled" is having an event to attend every night of the week, which is true this week, but isn't actually
Members only 238: An absolutely phenomenal Sunday Today freaking rocked. I had to get up early, and got relatively little sleep, but I had a Monster (my last one!!), and I had plans, so it wasn't too bad. The Italian exchange was fun; we're tending to just speak in english because we'
Members only 237: Lead poisoning! I thought, since I wasn't on call tonight, that I would get to bed earlier, and that is going to turn out to be true, but only by a little. I'm typing this at 1 AM, having just got off Marathon with Seth (he liked it,
235: Things are over: Game time I got like 6 hours of sleep, had a bunch of class and stuff in a row, bowled an absolutely insane four strikes in a row (in the 8th, 9th, and 10th frame) to clutch up at the end of the game. It was genuinely insane, and that 5th ball
Members only 234: Every single thing at once Still don't have any new photos, and I'm getting more burnt out so I'm not hunting them down as much. Today was kinda crazy honestly, I didn't stop to do anything fun or have any time off literally at all. I didn&
233:Good enough to improvise, but not good enough to be good at improvising I had my Italian midterm this morning, which is always done as an interview with the professor, and it went okay, but I needed to have practiced / studied more. I ended up just making things up in response to the questions, which I can almost do, but when I do
Members only 232: Relatively little to do And the word "relatively" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that title. I had a presentation this morning, and spent like 5 hours at the library doing work, but it was only an assignment and a half (Stats homework and then some Italian studying). It took
231: Very Italian today Literally everything I did today was Italian. Seriously. I had to wake up super early for my Italian Zoom Exchange thing, which was great, as usual. It was still just the two of us from last time, but Giuseppe is cool, and we just ended up playing Terraria together for
