The Joys of Spring

Aside from allergies. They are having their way with me. And it is nothing like fun. *runs off in search of tissues*

Much more better.

The worst part has been the pace at which I'm going through boxes of tissues. I bought one less than a week ago and it's half gone (and I'd only gotten allergies on Wednesday!). It's gotten so bad that, in order to conserve my precious supply, I've resorted to using napkins, paper towels--the bathroom kind that hurt--and just about any sort of paper short of inflicting papercuts. This has just 'caused much irritation on mine and my skin's part.

I have to say, one hellishly productive Saturday just passed. Watched Gurren Lagann*, played Half-Life 2 Episode Two (my roommate can again say he woke up to gunshots), watched more Gurren Lagann, did over half of my CS project, and also finished watching Gurren Lagann. That anime was beyond excellent; I would put it nearly on even grounds with the Ender's Game series, even if they're in different categories. The CS project, eh. Simple for the most part, I'm just down to creating a b-tree that is stored in a file. That part's not too bad, just a lot of maths and working with C++ streams.

Now onto slightly less nerdy matters.

The semester is slowly drawing to a close, with an excruciating month left between me and sweet sweet freedom. Well, at least a vacation in Puerto Rico**. After that it's all up in the air right now, which is actually really annoying. I'll most likely be staying at Tech for most of the summer, given that I can find an apartment or work something out on campus. And I really want to, as I'd get to do research (more on that later) and most likely get paid to do it too!

That's it for now. Just a short one. Tune in next week when I wrestle a boar!

..but not really.


*This is epic. It will change your life. Watch it. 'nuff said.

**You know, someday I'm gonna have to sit down and explain that.
