This morning was a bit scary. I woke up and felt/heard strange rumblings in my chest when I moved around. I was afraid I had fluid in my lungs and was getting pneumonia and would have to go to the hospital. I called Dr. Mom and she assured me it was just congestion. I think it may have actually been stomach-related (I'll spare you the...

The question.... I think it was about whether I was human or not. Something like that. "Are you from earth?" or something.

I'm sorry you are still sick. frown Here's a tip if you don't want to sneeze, lick the back of your top teeth. It sounds weird but I swear it works. I played Twilight Princess a little more. I'm getting ready to go into the forest temple. Feel better soon. smile

I had forgotten how miserable it can be to have a cold. I feel an ache in my jaw, my throat is all scratchy and painful, I keep sneezing, I feel cold, my head hurts… it stinks. I haven't been sick like this for years. I've been having lots of soup and tea, but it's hard to get myself to eat with my throat so...

Yesterday was pretty bad, and today hasn't started off too well, either.

On the 20th I started taking half the dose of Wellbutrin I had been taking, as I discussed with my psychiatrist, in the hopes of eventually not taking any. Everything seemed to be going fine until yesterday. I noticed early in the day that I was kind of hyper, which is never a...

I think the new name suits you more; "rollerdisco" seems more 1970s, like... uhh, me, for instance! And it is a really neat pic.

I am also a Computer Science major, but at my school the CompSci program gives you a Bachelor of Engineering, so our classes are tailored "for engineers" - two words which I have grown to despise. wink

I also love programming, which is why I went into this major. Funny story, I used to work in healthcare billing ( puke ), and while I was working there, to pass the time I started programming a MUD. One day it dawned on me, "Hey, if I do this for fun, perhaps I should do it for a living.", so here I am. As a matter of fact, at this very minute I'm working on teaching myself some C#.. wink

Once I get my degree from this school, I'm going to head straight for grad school (fingers crossed for MIT) where I'm going to focus in Artificial Intelligence; my life's goal is to make a major contribution in this field (and maybe pick up a Nobel prize or something.. wink ).

So I've been dealing with a rash of spam accounts registering for my Annie forum. I think the spam bots have been signing up for at least a month now, but I was too busy with school (and too disinterested blackeyed ) to give it any attention.

Now that school's over, I've had time to go through and delete all of those spam accounts. I...

I'm done with my finals, so the semester is officially over. I passed the database class!! I got a C-, which is officially the lowest possible passing grade. blackeyed But I passed! I took the theory class final on Tuesday and I really think I failed that class. frown The exam was much harder than I expected, and I had a panic attack throughout, to boot. frown I...

I think I've said this before, but I used to think the Internet was a lot different from real life, in terms of being social and meeting people. It is different, to a degree, but I've found that I get ignored, and occasionally attacked, just as much as I do in real life, if not more. I am able to talk a lot more freely...

Good luck on your exams!!!! Heck, you might be taking one right now! Crossin' my fingers for ya'!

I tend to stay away from the boards. They seem to be a pretty noisy place. Not sure I've ever had a comment replied to but then again, I rarely go back to find out. (Plus, it's always possible that you'll get a ton of replies in five years or somethin'.) Anyway, I've found that the groups are a much better place to meet people. That and trolling through the comments in my friends' journals. biggrin

Your mom's singing bear is cute! Although, I've now got that song permanently stuck in my head. But why you gotta' be dissin' the hip-hoppin' frog, yo?

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Just kiddin'. That frog is totally lame.

To my mind, the boards are a huge waste of time. Groups are where it's at!

Mom bought this singing, dancing Christmas bear from CVS last year. She was going to donate it to a toy drive at work, but she decided she liked it too much to give to some stupid kids. (I felt kinda bad about that.) I actually like it, too, when I rarely like singing, dancing toys. This one is just wholesome and cute, rather than cheesy,...

I used to eat a lot of Boca burgers. Always used the skillet. This year, I mostly made turkey burgers.

I completed that 4-star sudoku on Friday night. I took it with me to the Plants show at Acme, and got it done fairly quickly, during the first band (of 3).

I will prob put up a poem in my Journal soon. I just want to warn you since it's kinda drrrty, and I know you don't go for that sort of thing and might want to skip it... but I don't think it's very dirty. It's ridiculous, humorous, with a lascivious bent. The way I normally write poems is 1) I think of something silly and stupid, 2) I think up weird words and proper nouns to throw in, 3) I try to use puns, alliteration, consonance, and odd rhyme schemes. Seriously, I think that describes the last 10 poems I've written. I'm incapable of writing about serious subject matter. It's always something goofy, with odd celebs, athletes, and place names thrown in.
cheech:
Oh, I need to add another edit in my Journal appendix- part of my poem is taken from Berke Breathed, from an ollllld Bloom County strip.
Dunno if I mentioned the crazy sudokus to you in hte local papers; there is one where sides of the squares are greater-than/ less-than symbols and you have to solve them accordingly, by putting a greater or lesser number in hte adjacent square... then there are the ones with + and - values in the corner with a number. They give you no numbers to start with, you have to figure out which numbers go where via the amount they are + or - the neighbor squares.

I'm not doing any of those type anytime soon. I'm happy with the regular ones.

You can message me the article address or cut/paste in a message, either way. Thanks!

This is so weird, people. Everything is blurry. I've known for the last couple of months that my vision is no longer perfect, but that doesn't make it any less strange that things that were once crisp and clear in my eyes are now squiggly and fuzzy. blackeyed

But it's OK. I have wanted to need glasses for a long time. I guess Superman answered...

I had the same thing happen to my eyes about six years ago. My vision was never perfect, but it suddenly degraded exponentially in a matter of days. So much so that I was concerned that I was losing my vision.

I've only ever broken one pair of glasses in the past six years, and it was a result of a child jumping on my head while I was laying down. I fall asleep with my glasses on constantly, but I often wake up to them neatly folded on my nightstand. Go subconscious!

Well, all the Wii version does is replace button pushes with slashes, shakes and thrusts. Just wave the GC controller around when you play and you're there. biggrin

So we got our grades for the database project today. My partner and I didn't do as well as I'd hoped. We got 15.5 out of 20. We got 9 out of 10 on the smaller programming project. My professor emailed me, apparently right after he posted the project grades, to tell me that I just need to get 9 points out of 25 on...

I feel much more confident that I can pass my classes now.

My professor for the theory class announced at the end of class today that he is giving one student a make up exam because this student is afraid he is in danger of failing. So, the professor offered this make-up test to everyone else, and considering my score of 46 out of 100...
