Another quick post on another quick study break.

Madness. I've put off this 352 project for way too long - I'm essentially doing the entire thing in 24 hours. But it was worth it: this past weekend was a BLAST!!! Saturday was the first time I'd been out with my Purdue peoples in a long while - and the first time hangin' out with Kellen & Erin in an even longer while. Good food/beer at Laf Brew Co, SoCo shot at Nate's crew's appt, then home for shots w/ Kellen Erin & James, then off to a party, then back to my place for MORE shots, finally off to Jake's for the entire gang to chill. Definitely one of my last chances to hang out with Mandy now that she's moving to Kansas City so soon. Sunday: OZZFEST - I don't have enough time to talk about how sweet it was, but rest assured I got my rock on in a pleasant variety of intensity all day long. Also, Jonathan & his friend bascially entertained each other all day, so I had Stace to myself (good cuz I won't be able to hang out with her again until after finals...blah). The afternoon sets were mostly hardcore (only went in the pit to see Atreyu - awesome!), and the evening sets were the headliners (A7X sucks ass, but Lacuna Coil & S.O.A.D. were both in really top form). Didn't get home until 1, so I was zonked for Monday. Long story short - I didn't do any schoolwork the whole weekend.



Good news: I've basically got the programming in the bag - it's not done but I've figured out the solution method (hooray). Bad news: the programming is only the first 3rd of the project - there's a surprising amount of work by hand... nuts (which sucks because, unlike work by computer, if you make a mistake you have to start the WHOLE thing over...). The plan right now is to work at home until midnight-ish, and then trek over to the Math Building computer lab for my late-night concentration. I have a hunch I can get most of it done but there's no way it's going to be an impressive effort - but I'm not going to feel guilty at all when I have to turn this thing in at noon.... I'll probably just be exhausted and go home to bed (but I can't sleep too long because I have HW due in BOTH math and 352 thursday.... crackwhore teachers). I scored 15 points better than the average on the 2nd exam - so I think I'm in good shape.



So yeah - just this next 18 hours of hell, and then I only have to worry about my 2 finals (which are thankfully two days apart! AND!! two days after the weekend ends...so I'll be a moron if I don't study hard). I'm starting to get really anxious for this two weeks of vacation between finals and the fall semester starting - I have some high-quality goof-off time coming my way.

Wish me luck!
