jamba juice strawberry tsunami. ore ida fast food french fries. that was my lunch, people.

next? soda.

I am such a suck-up. And stupidly, I am still surprised how many people would wave when I am sitting in Soda. In all my past classes, I had always been the one that was lost or behind. But in cs182, I am sitting joyfully in my seat as people come by to ask me questions.

ASK ME QUESTIONS. yes, it\’s bragging…but it feels good to be wanted. Sometimes.

So I had a midterm yesterday morning. A 10 page paper due today.

THEN! A project that was due yesterday afternoon that I haven\’t finished yet, because I have a total of four late days. Should I use them up for this assignment (since this is the last cs project)?

BUT LOOK, I WASTE MORE TIME, in the lab. I am proud of the fact that I installed an Aim client for unix on my cs account. This is how I am using up my tuition money.

my journal in THAT place is no longer working. Maybe it\’s a sign that I should move permanently to an undisclosed location.

So have I blossomed?

I walk into the cs lab today (after getting a slice of cheesecake from PEGGY. THANKS PEGGY. YOU\’RE TWENTEEEE ONE NOW!!!!) and to my surprise as I stumbled toward an empty seat. I get five different \”Hey Jenn!\” It\’s a bragging thing, but it just wowed me. At the beginning of the semester, I was distraught that my friend dropped the class. I was really worried that I wasn\’t going to do well in the class, because I didn\’t have any fellow cs gurus. So now about three months later, I can enter the cs lab…having all these people wave to me.

Well, one of them was someone that I did not want to see. But that\’s okay.

moody. why is that when I try to avoid people, they end up in the same circles as I do? Like Alan for example, how did he ever end up posting at RBJ? Sure this is a free country, but PLEASE respect my BORDERS. I probably appear very anal about this, but still. I saw Jason today who I had become pseudo-enemies with two years ago. And I just had to put on a superficial smile and proceed to make small talk.

BUT what bothers me the most is…this \”friend\” that I had suddenly dropped connections with (firstly, he had suffocated me a lot at the beginning of the year) is suddenly doing the same outside of class activities as I am. i 888888888888 uuuuuuuu. Good luck to him. But the ignoring shall continue.

After a lot of bailing out and rescheduling (and a very bad start to my weekend-first went downtown to get tickets for the 2:35 showing and discovered that most people didn\’t want to go…end up standing in the rain for 30 minutes waiting for the bus blah blah), I finally got to see Better Luck Tomorrow! It was…interesting. I had read reviews before seeing it and i was prepared for some of the \”shocking\” scenes. It doesn\’t have the strength to go on my top 10. There was something cliched about it, yet also very unique.

STILL, I RECOMMEND. GO SEE IT!!!!

okay now back to the my stressful weekend of projects, papers, and midterms. oh my!

I was oh so enthuastic to see Better Luck Tomorrow and I went to the theater 4 hours early to purchse 6 tickets. UNFORTUNATELY, when I got there there was a nice little sign that said that the 5:30, 7 pm and 10 pm showings were all sold out. Sigh. I was trying to get tickets for the 10 pm showing. Literally, better luck tomorrow.

My photolog is here from yesterday!
