It's been a while... (9/25-29)

...but I'm too tired to even try to remember what's happened the past few days. 😴

Got a B on my midterm. Better than I thought I did, though I did make a couple rather stupid mistakes. @_@

And the Packers won yesterday!

Other than that it's pretty much been nothing but homework and class and the occasional tv show when I just can't focus anymore. Maybe the mayhem will die down in two weeks once my database class ends. But probably not. >.< Plus it's just going to be chaos until then, so there's really no point in thinking that far ahead. 😔

Good night. Maybe I'll be in a better mood for writing tomorrow. 

September 23-24

Again. @_@ The app just crashed and erased my almost finished draft. @_@ It's especially annoying since today's barely worth writing about to begin with. @_@

Yesterday I did homework. Today I did homework and went to class. I had fun hanging out with my classmates. 

My right hand and wrist have been bothering me for the last two days. I'm hoping it's just strained from the midterm on Tuesday, since I haven't done much writing like that since I broke it. But still when it hurts to use the mouse and all the homework is on the computer, I have to wonder if I might just be making it worse...

That's it. End of chapter. Goodnight.  

September 22

So today I studied for my midterm. And by "studied" I of course mean: I cleaned my room, watched anime, and updated my phone to iOS 9 (and the subsequent playing around with it). 

Clearly I did well on the staying focused front. @_@

The midterm went so-so. Or rather it went as well as it could have when I didn't know the answer to the first question. @_@

Four and a half hour class, two and a half hour midterm, and a short break, that meant we had an hour and a half more of class. Of course a lot of that got wasted because of technical difficulties, but still. I have no clue whether or not I actually retained any of that new information. :/

That's the thing I wanted to write about:

Before he passed out the test, McDonald had us put our cell phones on our desks, then he came around and made sure they were turned off, and we had to leave them in plain sight until we finished the test. That was different. 

Unless you want me to go into detail about the new iOS, I have nothing more to say. But honestly in terms of how I use my phone it's not all that different from iOS 8.whatever. The new version of notes looks like it'll be cool. The updated look for closing apps is going to take some getting used to- everything is on the left instead of the right. And they didn't fix the thing I was hoping they'd fix (but then, when does that ever actually happen?). So the default music app is still stuck in the crappy mode iOS 8.something put it in. Anyone use a third party music app that works with iTunes playlists? (Cuz the couple I've tried so far don't. :/ )

September 21

I'm not sure that anything today is worth writing about. I did homework and went to class. The food at dinner wasn't anything special, and there aren't any anecdotes about my classmates to share. 

Tomorrow I get to do some last minute studying for my database midterm. That'll be interesting. Last time I tried to study (aka yesterday), I ended up watching anime and doing my nails. Ironically in one of those episodes my favorite character is supposed to be studying for a test but ends up doing her nails instead. 

And that's it. Goodnight. 

September 19 and 20

So much for writing about Friday yesterday. *sigh* It's been a long weekend. 

First things first though: GO PACK GO!! That was a tough game to watch. It would've been more satisfying if we'd creamed the Seahawks, but at least we won! And also satisfying: having a Seahawk get ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct. *smirk*

Now back to the other things. 

Yesterday was the final day of SAS boot camp. So I was in class all day on a Saturday. :/ After class I did some shopping at the little mall that's just a block from the building. It's where the Old Navy is and I had to exchange the shirt I got for my birthday. That was like fate: they had ONE of that style and color, and it was the size I needed. Yay. :)

I also went to bed bath and beyond and got some stuff for my bedroom, but I'm not done putting those together/up, so no pictures yet. Maybe tomorrow. 

My birthday present to myself came in the mail yesterday. Isn't it awesome?

Now for the awfulness that was Friday: 

Day three of boot camp. I started the day exhausted: the day before I'd been on campus for 14 hours straight. *blech* And to top it all off the only thing in the catered lunch that I could eat was some (in all honesty) rather nasty roasted broccoli. The main entree was chicken pot pie, with the vegetarian entree being veggie pot pie, both very dairy heavy dishes. The other side dish was corn on the cob, which I can't eat because of the wire retainer from when I had braces. It was the perfect storm of everything I can't eat all at once. >.< @_@ 

Normally it wouldn't have been a big deal, as they let us have an hour break for lunch, so I could've gone to one of the fast food places nearby. Except that it was Friday. >.< Which means that we had a guest lecturer during the lunch break. >.< So I couldn't leave, because 1) I didn't want to miss that opportunity and 2) those events are supposedly mandatory for GRAs. Talk about a lose-lose situation. I didn't get to eat hardly anything because of the speaker, but I was so hungry and frustrated that I completely missed everything that was said. 😰😓 I should've just skipped the speaker.

I did finally get food when I got home:

We went out to the Three Dollar Cafe. I had the mushroom and Swiss burger (without the cheese of course). Best burger I've ever had in a restaurant [Dad's are still the best overall of course]. The picture doesn't do it justice but those onion rings: first: they weren't the greatest, but they were definitely far from being the worst (for those who don't know: onion rings are one of my most favorite foods, and I am EXTREMELY picky about them). Second: I'd complain that they only gave me four, but they were each an inch thick and at least four inches in diameter- they were as big as the hamburger bun!

I think I might have gone straight to bed when we got back, but I honestly don't remember. I don't even remember what we learned at boot camp that day. :/

It's after midnight now, and my phone is almost dead, so I better go to bed. Good night!

September 18

I'm too tired to write today. 😴😩😴

I'm too tired to even remember what happened today well enough to write about it. :/ 

It'll be an early night for me. Maybe I'll write about today in tomorrow's post...

September 17

I'm so tired. :/

Today consisted of programming boot camp from 9-4 and class from 7-10. Of course nine am is rush hour, so I left the house at just after seven to get there on time. So I've been awake for quite a long time now. And it's not even that I've been awake, it's that I've been doing stuff that entire time...

But that's not the point. 

Boot camp was long and a little slow. The real-world practice we ended with was interesting though. And it was challenging. But Palin and I managed to solve it!!

They fed us twice today: both lunch and dinner. But what they failed to mention was that by "twice" they meant the same food. @_@ At least it wasn't bad food. Everyone said the Mac and cheese was really good. Too bad that's something I can't eat. >.<

Somehow I ended up at the rowdy table at lunch, but that was fun. The best part was trying not to laugh while Matthew lobbed veggies at our other classmates. 

Programming class was long. But before I start on that: we voted at the beginning of class to not speed up, so that's good for my sanity. 😌 He also extended the deadline for our homework assignment, so I no longer have to worry about getting that done in between the rest of boot camp this weekend. :) Beyond that I basically spent the rest of the class trying to stay awake.

Bedtime now. Goodnight!
