( Song of the Day: Senses Fail - The Ground Folds )
been trying to keep myself busy lately which explains the lack of posts.
between class / homework / and WoW, time has been passing at a decent pace, and Im happy with that. im looking forward to the next couple months. Ive started getting info from WSC on transferring, and it seems to all be coming together. this afternoon ill be applying online and waiting for their reply, at which time ill need to send my transcripts. easy as cake. now that its come to actually performing the act, i feel a bit hesitant. not because im not sure if its what i wanna do or not, but because i wanna make sure i can have solid plans and not fuck myself next semester.
plans fell threw with living with boelke andy and ben, which is ok (however it woulda been pretty sweet) but i just need to figure out if im commuting or looking for someone else to get an apt with. either way, the amount of $$ im saving will be enormous. i dont think i know anyone thatd actually be willing to live in the worcester area, so commuting is looking like the more likely choice.
if you are however, hit me up and we'll talk ;) |

( Song of the Day: Rise Against - The Good Left Undone )
Ugh, had so much homework today that it wasnt even funny. Stats can really suck my left nut...its just that ghey. but really, the prof assigned 70 pages of reading and 4 sections of homework problems on wednesday due for friday. this may not seem like a lot to you...but it really freggin is. Java is kinda getting hectic now too with the plethora of exercise problems, book problems galore, annnnd entire programming assignments...like seriously?
anyways...the pops is coming to haul my ass home tomorrow for the weekend as i said in the last post. looking forward to it to be honest. is nice to be away, but im kinda sick of sitting in the room doing work / WoW.
apparently my grandpa is pretty sick, and i just heard of this today...idk why im always the last to hear about important things like this. id rather know and worry than be uninformed and have something happen without knowing. anyways, im hoping everything turns out alright. i guess my great gram has been having a lot more anxiety attacks lately too :-\
weathers finally perfect. this week has been pretty much perfect. nice cool crisp breeze, not too hot...gotta love new england. |

( Song of the Day: Valencia - Head in Hands )
so im going to start doing these "song of the day" type things at the head of my posts from now on with a lj-cut to the lyrics. idc if you look at them, but i listen to a lot of music, so while im listening and hear a song that pretty much sums up how im feeling at that particular time, i tend to try and remember it for later. basically, its just going to serve as a deeper "Mood: _____" field.
first few weeks of school have been going well. i find neuro the most interesting. stats and java seem like a hassle, and french is a joke. im not really going to say i like stats...because i dont, but the professor (richard bogartz) makes me want to try to do well in this class.
this weekend ill be back in the bridge from 9/19 @ 5ish -> 9/21 @ 6'ish so hit me up if you wanna hang. looking forward to sat night with the nigs. it feels like its been ages, but its only been a few weeks.
finally got the lofting kit for my bed. the room is def a lot better now that weve finally got stuff where we want it. kinda feels like we have a little living room going on because of the futon / tv. its relaxing.
i have repossession of my first WoW account now which is nice. kinda fun to have several higher level characters now, and its def. helping me deal with having too much free time.
sometime in the next couple weeks ill be heading down to guidance to figure out transfering shit. having that mentality of "why bother because im leaving anyways" is kinda fucking me up a lot :/ i dont have the drive to meet people, and i have questioned myself about trying harder in classes. i really need to get over that raah
im pretty sure ive hit my limit of people telling me shit that they dont mean. dont say it if you dont mean it...it just makes you seem like an ass.
k thats it |

i realize none of you care to read it (besides trufan maybe :P) but i received a confirmation email from blizzard regaurding my account already and it IS being restored :D
I can not believe I will have hadran back!
in other news, i pulled a 100 on my neuro-anatomy quiz (worth 10% of my grade) and a 100 on my french quiz. it feels good to continue to be doing well here. |

had i know it was this easy to get my old WoW acct back i would have tried like 1.5 years ago lol
but yeah, its now in my possession, but it was actually banned, so im trying to convince the blizzard admins that it was hacked and w/e they did it wasnt me and to reinstate it.
so...this could mean a possible resurrection of hadran... |

seriously, is it necessary to be a complete dick to the kid eating dinner alone? does it help boost your ego? Id really like to freggin know.
tonight i decided to grab dinner a little earlier tonight (around 4:30) because i skipped lunch and breakfast due to having a ton of work due. because it was very early, the DC (dining common) was just about empty, which is how i like it because i generally eat alone and dont like being judged by people i dont know. anyways, while walking over to an empty table in front of the TV i walked by a table with 4 guys at it (they looked like jockish-dude-bros) that stopped talking as i approached. as im walking by, one of them says "lookit this faggot, wonder where his boyfriend is." for a split second i didnt think much of it, but then i realized there was no one else around...so i turned and looked at them. at this point i got a "whats wrong you fuckin' faggot? keep walking." im obvs not going to start something in an empty DC with 4 of them (they were large) and just me...but really, i wanted to.
no one has ever, in my entire life, said such a hateful thing directly to my face and meant it. i dont really know why its bothering me so much. i know theyre just a bunch of tools thatll end up nowhere in life, but still. '
people never cease to amaze me :/
in other news, im fairly sure i aced the first neuroscience quiz which feels good. i studied my eyes out for that fucker, and im pretty well oriented with the layout of the brain now. its a very fascinating thing. i think id prolly enjoy a job in the neuroscience field...but why am i going to put myself threw the hell of all those classes when my real passion lies in computers?

had a chat with the mom-unit today about transferring out of umass and hitting up Worcester state for either the spring or fall. surprisingly she was very supportive and thought it was a great idea. ideally id wanna be living in worcester and just commute back and forth. hoping staples will take me back too. if not, id prolly see if the school could use some extra help or something.
thats pretty much it :) |

- well mr romney, there have been several times that i have not been 'proud to be an american,' and it seems to happen when you or one of your republican buddies gets up to a podium and gives a speech to the world on behalf of this country.

the fact that women are actually turning to McCain because he chose a woman VP makes me sick to my damn stomach.
shes inexperienced, has no foreign policy, and only governed Alaska...(150k people). Hell, 80k people just fit in that damn stadium to watch obama give a speech.
for someone that will be 72 years old if he is elected president and has had trouble with cancer in the past i think it was extremely stupid of him to chose someone to fill in his place that is a complete dolt.
good job you fucktard, i hope its the nail in your coffin.
but i truly am disappointed with all the dumb women in this country. |

cant seem to actually find the motivation to update this thing as often as id like to anymore.
works going pretty well. ive worked 10 days so far, but this past monday there wasnt much work to do, and with teachers still roaming around its hard to get anything productive done, so steve asked me to take the rest of the week off, which is cool with me. i could def. use the extra sleep, but the days have been dragging.
ive been trying to help my mom get a job for a couple years now, but it seemed like every attempt was futile. this time around i got her an application for the school to be a teachers aid and she actually filled it out, so thats a nice change. hopefully they give her an interview, considering she used to teach some 20 years ago. idk how shes managed to not go insane staying at home all these years.
should be switching over to a new phone and provider in the next couple weeks. hoping to keep my same number because i kinda like it and ive had it for like 6 years now. most likely will be going with at&t because my dad can nab my brother and i a 25% discount if we get a family plan together, which is nice. finally being able to text will be a plus.
going out to the midnight showing of the incredible hulk with boelke and some others tomorrow night. cant wait to see how it turned out, but i cant really say im as excited for this as i was for iron man, but more so than batman. batman looks amazing dont get me wrong, but ive always been more of a fan of marvel.
this saturday should be a good time. looks like there will be about 15 people going to dave and busters in prov. still cant believe im already 20. my great gram keeps telling me stories about what she was doing when she was 20, and its insane. by 19 she was married and having kids, working and living life. i havnt done anything that life changing...and probably wont for several more years. |

wow. i failed at giving a ballpark figure of what my GPA would be if i got straight A's :(
end grades 3 A's and 1 A- (3.925 GPA for the semester)
and my total GPA is only a 2.066...WOW, i was expecting at least a 2.5
ugh, it was way too easy to get that low, and now it seems retardedly hard to get out of it
i should have just applied elsewhere and started fresh
in other news, working for the town again. this year seems a bit different, feels more like ive been told what to do, and allowed to do it without much moderation
also, age of conan is pretty amazing. def needs to be polished a bit (with patches to correct very small problems, but general game play is very well done). worth a look. |

If you comment, I will:
Tell you why I friended you
Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc. you know, something degrading.
Tell you something I (dis)like about you.
Tell you a memory I have of you. Or for you, my implanted memory ray is almost perfected.
Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
In return, you must post this in your LJ. |

thinking we def. need to do camping again this summer since last year was a pretty good time, plus it gives something we can make an annual event out of :P
plots are already being booked well into august, so itd be a good time to start trying to figure out if anyone even wants to do it. its still $12 a night / site and 4 people to a site, so $6 again this year for a fri - sunday morning type dealio.
just leave one if youd be interested...if 8 people can commit on it then ill look into getting some booking done, but if its going to be a repeat of last year where 4 or 5 people bail last min, then forget it :P for now though just post if youd be interested, and ill hound you later on to find out if you can be a definite.
btw, its wells state campground if you didnt know. its in sturbridge, like a 30min drive, pretty much straight on rt 20 if i remember correctly, but i prolly dont hah |

I mapped out a route that i think will be the easiest. the majority of the trip will pretty much be on I-91, which is the same one Amherst is off of, so easy enough.
View Larger Map
( Linky )
380 miles - 6 hours
ouch.
as far as hotels go, they wont be hard to find...but so far, for the best price-to-quality rating there was one in particular that stood out.
The Omni Mont-Royal Hotel - 4 star - $107 / night
only problem is that room has one king bed and a fold out sofa.
more realistically for sleeping arrangements...
Room:
avg price for a decent hotel is about $98.40, so round that to $100
x2 for the 2 nights (friday aft -> sunday morning) $200
/4 people
total: $50
Gas:
a tank and a half 1 way: $65
x2 for both ways: $130
/4 people
total: $33
so essentially, its close to $83 before you even add in food / touring
not terrible, but just keep that in mind
thats it for now |

hell weeks need to go poof, and turn into a jellybean. i like jellybeans, so this would be a good thing :)
being in a solid relationship would be nice too. there was something about being in one that brought out the best in me, and its so hard to hit that high without the actual relationship :P id really like to know where all the girls went though, because it just seems like they either arnt interested in one, or are already tied down. epic phail. its not like i wanna win all the time...just once would be nice though :P
tests weds/fri/tues...awesome. boelke and possibly alex are coming up saturday (maybe friday too?) for some epic party action, so that should be a good time.
mark your calenders if you havnt already... the office 4/10 on NBC :D |
