Results on Spring semester were decent, all classes passed (Numerical as BARELY passed, and I'm really glad I was able to convince Prof. Rangarajan that I deserved to pass, because he could have flunked me if he were in a bad mood).
Summer was horrible - three classes attempted, two passed, one only on paper. A B in Management, a D (!!) in Financial Accounting, and a fail for Digital Logic. I flunked the final despite studying more for it than almost anything that I ever had. Now I'm taking it again.
Anyway, this semester's schedule:
Digital Logic (rerun)
Secure Programming (HAX!)
Comparative Politics (yawn)
Computers in Modern Society (kinda fun)
Research (Andrew is doing optional work!?)
While research isn't a for-credit "class", it will help me learn stuff, show the project leads that I'm a good team member, and give me a smooth transition into a senior project.
Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out ways to better focus. It may be because I've been doing this stuff for so long, semester after semester, and I really want to be done. Fortunately, I'm living at a nice new place, albeit far from campus (the Laurels).
Anyway, I'm gonna work to make this semester work, so I can find good work to work at.

This semester's classes:
Numerical Analysis (killer)
Object Oriented Programming (deadly)
Computer Networking Fundamentals (dangerous)
Intro to Marketing (risky)
The Career Fair last week went well, I received an email from one of the companies for an internship, but I doubt I'll be hearing from anyone big, like Intel or Microsoft.

Semesterd'
The Fall 2008 semester is now mostly over, all that remains are the final exams - Marcoeconomics and Operating Systems. At grades are looking decent, with an A in Intro to Persuasion all but guaranteed, and a possible A, but if not an A then a B+ in Intro to Software Engineering. I'm figuring I'll have a B in both Macroeconomics and Operating Systems.
I uninstalled Fallout 3 in preparation for studying for Macroeconomics. It's extremely tempting to do something other than watch those lectures, such as watch YouTube videos or play any kind of game in which I can gain virtual experience. Unfortunately, I slept for the majority of the day, so I'll be catching up with my lectures in the following hours.
I also need to head back to the gym, now that I've finally gotten a refill on my medications (I had run out on Wednesday), and the side effects of the steroids from before have mostly dissapeared.

Last time, on Life...
Yet another neglected blog. Well, as long as I post once a year, it's not abandoned. Since the last post (prior to that test a moment ago), here's what has transpired:
- Passed Data Structures with a B, Computer Organization with a C, and dropped Circuits as though it's thermal readings were off the charts. Major was changed to CSE, which is Comp Sci within the Engineering Dept.
- First non-Caucasian president! Barack Obama won the presidency on Nov. 4, 2008 against a sickening GOP campaign to make him look like a dangerous terrorist-loving wants-to-teach-4-year-olds-about-the-cock inexperienced threat against America. In retrospect, I really should have blogged all the stuff I was thinking during the dozens of hours I spent following the campaign.
- The economy has gone to shit. $700b bailout for some banks. I'd be happy with even .001% of that money.
- My parents and I had a tussle over my remaining time here at UF. Things got straightened out, though. I'd been unclear about how many credits I have here, which justifiably angered them.
I can't recall any more events worth mentioning at the moment, but they'll come to me eventually. As for what's happening now, I'm about to finish the semester with pretty decent grades. Details to come later, because as usual, I'm blogging mainly because I'm procrastinating. Now to make me a Nutella sammich (for the 3rd time today).
Oh, and I'm on damn antibiotics and steroids again. I was pumped (gym-wise) for a while, but then got sick and lost a lot of it.

In the event of a real emergency...
I'm testing out this software called "ScribeFire", so this is a test before I get all bloggie up in this bitch.

No title.
Well I'm feeling (somewhat) better about everything. My mom had a good talking with me, so I feel like I can move on, albeit slowly. I have my first Circuits exam on Wednesday, so I have lots of studying to do. I skipped out on everything on Monday, because I was seriously depressed, and my missing the bus in the morning, on top of having not finished fixing my bike, just had me giving up.
On a brighter note, Code Geass' 2nd season is rolling strong, and despite there being a few annoyances and "animisims" (things that are common in anime, yet would make no sense in reality), the show manages to keep the viewer surprised. That, and 95% of the females in the show over the age of 17 are (anime) hot. Unnessicarily so, actually.

More failings.
Well since the death of my SD card, things have just gone downhill.
Academically, I fear for the grade on my 2nd Comp. Org quiz, and the first was probably bad as well. My Data Structures exam may have went alright, but I'm usually wrong, and it's not as if I was finished way before time expired. Circuits is screwed as well - first quiz was a 5/1o, while the 2nd was a 2/10. This is despite studying for all of these, thinking I know the subject material, and being wrong.
On other fronts, I can't seem to even get a pseudo-date. I asked two girls and neither worked out. I tried doing that return thing with the SD card at Best Buy, and it failed due to trying to use mommy's credit card, for which I'm not an "authorized user".
I'm constantly tired, and unmotivated (now) to do any kind of studying or schoolwork. Despite knowing what I "should" do, it's not happening. I'm not even motivated to clean my damn room. I'm gaining weight still, and I'm friggin insatiable when it comes to food. My balls hurt (seriously), and I'm constantly afraid that it'll turn into torsion despite having had a consultation with the SHCC.
Well I'm glad I'm not the type to consider suicide, because I know people with less psychological fortitude might have already done it. Yay, me.
