Paying for Life

And it's taken an arm and a leg.

So, I've been busy. Like really busy. Spring break ended and I was thrown back into the fray, much more brutally than I actually expected. Thus, as it has been more than two weeks since you all last had a chance to read my witty rantings, I feel an update is in store.

My math homework (calculus of several variables, fun no?) sits in front of me, nearly complete, what with my messy scrawl and equations and symbols shoved into any open whitespace. My computer science project (data structures and algorithms, second semester) is on my laptop with a teensy bug yet to be fixed. My computer science homework (computer organization, building virtual circuits, mmm) I took one look at and just gave up. It was around eleven last night when I realized I'd done at least ten hours worth of work on a Saturday...On a Saturday!! *indignant* Anyway, that's when my pencil went down, my laptop turned off, and Lullaby was pulled out to be read.

I've been taking it pretty easy since then. Smash Bros. Brawl with Alex (roommate version) and reading and now writing--which I've been dying to do. Hmm, actually, Alex and I played a lot of Smash this weekend. But it's such fun, and ever so easy to just say, "One more round..."

Other than that--and homework--I've had lots of club meetings and hanging out with certain friends that I seem to never see. Oh, that and there's this huge talk that is being sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) here. And talking to a professor about research for next semester (more on that eventually) and talking to a VT dropout, who has some of the most interesting ideas I've ever heard, about a job. Just, so much. I've always wondered how people can become "workaholics" and am starting to understand it. But I really don't wanna be one of those!!

Also, sorta behind the scenes of everything, I have been trying to write a response to a post Tim wrote about faith. I found it interesting and, after a number* (that number is one plus one, or two (yay for MATHS!)) of conversations online on the topic, decided to reply. So yeah, watch for that.


*I really really wanted to use the word bevy there..'til I realized that it just didn't fit *grumbles*
