Gahhh…got through with the Networking midterm, Algorithms homework, and Network mid-quarter presentation.  All that’s left now is the Algorithms midterm day after tomorrow then I have a two week Thanksgiving rest!  (Sort of.  I’ll have two homeworks due, have to finish a lot more of my Networking project, and get started with my research TwT).

But meh.  Networking midterm was okay I think.  Though it sucks because, even though I thought it wasn’t too bad…so did everyone else. So the curve will be high. And I found out some people had seen last year’s midterm, and all but two of the problems were the EXACT SAME AS LAST YEARS WTF x_x;.  So now the curve will be even HIGHER T____T. *dies*  How do people know and find out about these things, but I never do until it’s too late?! Ugh.

Algorithms homework…I worked so insanely hard on that.  Literally staying up until 4am for three or four nights just working ONLY on that.  I spent probably over 60 or 70 hours on that homework. And when I turned it in, I still knew some of the problems were wrong.  I just didn’t have time to work more on it though, because I had to work on…

Networking mid-quarter presentation x_x.  This one sucked. Well, it wasn’t THAT bad I suppose since I have to compare it to others, and I think we did kind of average.  But we didn’t have enough practice to make it short enough, and we ended up going near the last group and we got cut off so we didn’t get to finish the presentation because by then the groups were running out of time *weeps*.  Also, our group was the only one he came up to after class and said he wanted to talk with us…and then told us we had to work faster T_T. GAAAHHHH I KNOW BUT I HAVE NO TIMEEEEEE *cries*

Oh lords, I seriously had no idea taking only two classes could possibly be this difficult.   I think it’s mostly the networking class that’s taking the most time, to tell the truth.  Algorithms takes a LOT of time, but it’s more reasonable and regular I think.  Homeworks, 1 midterm, 1 final, yeah.

Networking is insane.  Crazy homeworks, midterm, research project with proposal, two presentations, and a paper,  hundreds upon hundreds of pages of research papers to read, it’s like…OMFG is this really only one class?! O____O;;;

I hope this is only because it’s a class geared towards the first year grad students, and they make it harder on purpose to teach them not to slack off right from the beginning or something T_T

Man, I really wish I could have some time to draw.  But HAH!  As IF.  I’m so tired every day I feel physically in pain X_X.

I feel…so depressed.

I’m studying for my midterm day after tomorrow.  And I just realised, a TON of what I put down in my Networking class’s homework was incorrect T_T.  One of the major points.  I thought RED meant that it would control misbehaving flows, but he spelled out over and over in his lecture that it didn’t and I forgot T_T!!  I totally got confused.  OMG I’M DOOMED

I’m so scared.  I already thought I didn’t do as well on that homework (even though I literally spent over 30 hours on it)  and now I discover I made a MAJOR error. Damn. I’m so dead.  Gawds, I want to get it back already and just be put out of my misery X_X

And wow, that really puts the pressure on to do well on this midterm, huh? AND PRESENTATION THAT I’M STRUGGLING LIKE MAD WITH NUUUUUUUU

Wow.

Guess what…I started school, and I…HAVEN’T BEEN PROCRASTINATING!!  At all!!  You should all be so proud of me!  I’m working every single free moment I have like mad on my schoolwork! Yay!

The bad news is that I’m spending every single free moment I have on schoolwork and I’m still falling behind like mad X_X

What the hell.  How exactly do the other students manage to do research and take two classes at the same time?  I mean, I took four or five classes at once during undergrad.  But these classes are just…insane.

I haven’t even really started any research.  I’m just trying to keep up with the classes and failing miserably.

I have a midterm this Tuesday, homework due Wednesday, a mid-project presentation (that involves programming modifications into limewire’s source code…literally hundreds of thousands of lines of code to sort through) Thursday, homework on the next Tuesday along with 80 pages worth of research papers to read that week.

That’s just coming up soon.

WTF am I the only person struggling here?!  How do other people do it?! I don’t understand.  I always thought I was pretty fast with this stuff.

Ugh.  Mom says I’m just out of practice since CSUCI was so much more relaxed since it was on the semester system instead of the quarter system, and that I’ll get used to it.

I sure hope so.  Though I don’t see how anyone could possibly keep up with this.  Oh well.  Good luck to me on the midterm. And homework. And presentation. And research. And homework again after that. And another midterm. And the 1 hour seminar at CSUCI I might have to give. And the programming project. AAAAAGHHHHHH I’M DYING THE STRESS IS CAUSING ME TO LOSE HAIR *faints*

Spending the whole day at school is so exhausting =_=”.  Commuting about 2 1/2 hours a day is just insane.  I feel….dead.

Finished the Networking project proposal!  Thank god…we submitted it just now, about an hour or so before the midnight deadline.  Partners really helped a lot…I’m actually feeling pretty lucky to have them TwT.  Though I never really know what to say to them when they compliment me T_T *dies*  “Thanks so much! It’s great!  Nono, you were the one that wrote most of it” etc. etc. OMGGGG are they actually angry I did too much and was being overbearing or something? Kyaaaa TwT  I suck so much with human interaction.

Homework…so much homework.  And I HAVE TO GET CRACKING ON MY RESEARCH THINGIE NUUUUU

I’m dying….I’m dying…

No sketch today because I have too much homework TT.

Though I think I’m just going to give up for now and go to sleep….or watch some Seinfeld episodes in bed or something XD

Bash.org

This website is HILLARIOUS!!

Just discovered it through a link in slashdot. It’s a moderated, user-submitted listing of quotes…seems to be mostly snippets of conversations from IRC. Quite a few are stupid, but if you browse through the top rated ones you can find absolutely hillarious comments and convos. It’s like a giant collection of the real life jokes in Reader’s Digest…the FUNNY ones XD

Some of my faves:

<BronsonTheBeef> So we were supposed to have a guest speaker in one of my classes
<BronsonTheBeef> to talk about diversity and racism and shit today
<BronsonTheBeef> prof’s never met him..
<BronsonTheBeef> in walks this super black gangsta ghetto dude
<BronsonTheBeef> he’s got a ‘pimp’ chain around his neck, wearing FUBU everything
<BronsonTheBeef> has a gold watch and a ring on each finger, smells like pot and beer
<BronsonTheBeef> he even had a do-rag on and a cigarrette tucked behind his ear
<BronsonTheBeef> walks in in true rapper style flashing his crazy ghetto signs at us
<BronsonTheBeef> the prof’s like…’are you… jeff?’
<BronsonTheBeef> he goes ‘true dat, ho’ and says ‘you all my niggaz!’ and he turns in a circle
<BronsonTheBeef> waving his arms in the air singing about ‘niggaz in ‘da house’ or some shit
<BronsonTheBeef> so she tells him to give his speech on diversity and shit
<BronsonTheBeef> and he starts talkin about ‘the man’ and how ‘white folk be dissin’
<BronsonTheBeef> then like a minute later this other black dude runs in dressed in a suit
<BronsonTheBeef> and says ’sorry I’m late’
<BronsonTheBeef> it turns out the first black dude was just baked. he doesn’t even go to college
<BronsonTheBeef> he just wanted to buy weed in the dorms

 <Goatroper> so i had a checkup at the doctor a couple months ago
<Goatroper> i waited in the goddamn lobby for like 2 hours
<Goatroper> i was just starting to doze off when they called me back into one of the exam rooms
<Goatroper> so i sit on this chair for like 30 more mins, and then fall asleep
<Goatroper> i wake up and have no idea what time it is or how long i’ve been waiting
<Goatroper> so 20 minutes later after I finished reading the Hispanic Business Weekly
<Goatroper> I start diggin through the drawers in the exam table and his desk drawer
<Goatroper> i find some hypos and don’t touch them, some dressing gowns, and then i get to the drawer marked “OB/GYN”
<Goatroper> i open it up, take a peeky-peek inside, and what do I see? Speculums and rectal dilators.
<Goatroper> At this point I’m in his desk rolly-chair
<Goatroper> with about 40 rubber gloves in my pockets for later use
<Goatroper> so I grab a speculum in each hand
<Goatroper> and start making them sing and talk like little ducks
<Goatroper> i was rooting around for a sharpie and couldn’t find one
<Goatroper> so i put them down and did my glove-trick
<Goatroper> i stretched a rubber glove over my head and blew it up
<Goatroper> then i grabbbed the speculums and started spinning around in his chair
<Goatroper> glove inflated on my head the size of two basketballs
<Goatroper> speculum in each hand
<Goatroper> spinning in his office chair
<Goatroper> i hear footsteps and as i’m extending my legs to slow down, the door opens
<Goatroper> the doctor is standing there with my chart in his hand
<kr0nus> omg
<Goatroper> i stopped spinning and just sat there, looking at him through the thin film of the glove
<Goatroper> he was like “Corey…..?”
<Goatroper> I said “Yep.”
<Goatroper> held up the speculums.
<Goatroper> said, “I got bored.”
<Goatroper> and he was like “That’s quite a trick with those gloves. Where did you learn that?”
<Goatroper> I said “Many doctor’s offices in many states.”
<Goatroper> He was like “You want to take some with you?” as I got up
<Goatroper> I pulled the wad out of my pocket and said “Already did.”
<Goatroper> then I walked out and i heard him laughing like a goddamn maniac as soon as the door was closed
<Goatroper> then the other day i go in again rofl and he just hands me a brand new unopened box of 100 gloves
<Goatroper> i was gonna ask for some speculums just to fuck with him but I was afraid he’d give me some

<Kuiper> Well, it rained today, but as a whole it’s been warmer than it was last week.
<kikuichimonji> Why does it seem like every time you join this channel, you end up talking about the weather?
<kikuichimonji> Is your life so unimaginably dull that you can’t think of any events in your life to describe that might be more interesting than the weather?
<kikuichimonji> Let’s think of something for you to talk about other than the weather.
<kikuichimonji> I mean, we barely even know anything about you, other than where you live.
<kikuichimonji> Let’s start there.  What do you do for a living?
<Kuiper> I’m a meteorologist.

Rabidplaybunny87: Okay, so my neighbors officially hate me
GarbageStan23: why?
Rabidplaybunny87: Well, me, david and andrew were having a bonfire in the backyard, and we were making s’mores and all… and suddenly we here sirens, and see a firetruck turn into the street in front of us.
Rabidplaybunny87: So we all went running to see what was up, and our neigbor’s house was on fire!
GarbageStan23: oh shit!
Rabidplaybunny87: Yeah, and when we got there, the wife was crying into her husbands arms, and we were just kinda standing there, and then she saw us, and then like for 10 seconds, gave us the dirtiest look ever
Rabidplaybunny87: Turns out, we were still holding our sticks with marshmallows on it, watching the fire….
Rabidplaybunny87: talk about bad timing…

This one was pretty dirty so I’m not going to plug the convo…but it’s just too funny to skip ^^; http://bash.org/?454203

O_O I found Sandara-3’s new image gallery on Elfwood, along with her website.

Elfwood

Website

I remember almost 10 years ago, when I first saw her art on RPGamer, back when I was first starting to draw. She was actually…probably the very first art goddess that I ever knew of and worshiped. I had no idea until I saw her art on RPGamer that people could possibly produce so many amazing fanarts.

I worshiped her art. Lost track of her, though. And then a few years back I went through some of the old RPGamer archives and saw her old art.

I hate to admit it, but I actually felt all happy when I noticed a bunch of anatomy errors and problems with the pictures. I felt I was sooooo awesome and great now. I was better than Sandara!OMG!

But of course, while I improved, of course others do too. Duh. *stabs self* I look at Sandara’s current art now and die inside. She’s still so far above me…unreachable art goddess TwT *sobs*

Thumbnails of two of my faves of her pictures ->

My god…*stabs self a million times*

I really need to quit drawing. I am so desperately untalented at it it’s not even funny. =_=”

Yay, finished making a blog! Hopefully it shall survive better than my old blogs and journals.

I shall write this for myself as a sort of diary, instead of trying desperately to make it entertaining for other people…that might help. Yay, lots of ranting and angsting about nothing!

Today, I spent most of the day setting this up. At least I finally learned what an RSS feed is O_O. However, that’s still not very good because I have two homework assignments I haven’t started yet, my research reading I haven’t started, my group project proposal due day after tomorrow that I haven’t worked on, and the project coding. Good God, I’m going to end up failing out of school my first quarter at UCSB. There’s so much to do and I have so little drive to do it T_T.

Anyways, yesterday was wasted spending most of the day replacing my laptop hard drive with a bigger one. I needed to split my OS to dual boot both Windows and Linux, since a ton of the classes here seem to like us using Unix. Now I need to copy things over from my old HD to my new one, too. What a pain.

At least today I seem to have been chosen as Elfwood’s artist “member of the day” or something? They gave me a nice plug on the front page and stuff:

I just wish they hadn’t picked those super old and ugly pictures as the featured ones on the front page? ^^; Oh well. Too bad Elfwood doesn’t seem to have nearly as many viewers and people as it did in the past. I got all of like 10 new comments or so today because of it XD. Hahahaha! Insane how it seems everyone is on DA now. DA has gotten so incredibly huge it’s not even funny.

Anyways. Dorothy has her Astronomy class exam tomorrow. 5 chapters and she’s been killing herself trying to study all of them by tomorrow. Good luck to her T_T.
