Half my drive is over, made it Austin-Phoenix today, tomorrow I finish the drive. I am exhausted, more details to come tomorrow. |

Still sick. Had a day where I got my voice back! Now it's gone again, and I'm pretty sure my lungs are waging an epic battle in my chest. I'm losing. *hackhack* And I graduate tomorrow....hooray? |

I have a really good immune system. While I sometimes get weird sick, I rarely get what is *going around*, even when students or roommates have it. This year I managed to avoid it while all of my friends were sick, and got better, and even through thanksgiving.....and the final week of school finds me with a sore throat, hoarse, and with a heavy chest. Oh what good time! *grumbles and drinks tea* |

I was so looking forward to the rainy stormy awesome weather today. What do we have? Humidity, sun.... little bit of wind. *yawn* Austin is disappointing. |

I'm in over my head. This semester is going to be absolutely insane. I think it will overall be REALLY fun, but I might kill myself in the process. Two of my classes are really easy: C++ and Navigating Cyberspace. Unfortunately....that constitutes the entirety of two days of the week (ie: very little inspiration to go to campus at all, other than the whole must pass the class thing) TTH are insane. I'm taking Automata Theory, which is really really interesting (already, I know), but I have NONE of the pre-reqs for it. So, we're getting into discrete math that I have never seen before in my life, and it's rather overwhelming. But, I understand everything during lectures, so hopefully homework and lectures will catch up with each other eventually. Phonology is...well....phonology. Upper Division writing component. I'm not very good at phonetics, hopefully this one goes better. It's still an hour and a half of stuff that I'm not terribly interested in, but I have to pay attention or I will not understand it at all. NLP is a lot like Automata Theory, in that I'm in over my head. However, this is more a realm I understand, and am really interested in, so hopefully hard work will pay off in here. My monday 3-6 class involves tons of reading, but will be mostly discussions and presentations during class, so I'm not too worried. It hasn't met yet though, so no real opinion there. My opinions may change as the semester wears on, but I'm excited!! |

My friend proposed to his girlfriend last night. They've been dating 15 months, and hardly seem to enjoy eachother's company. How the hell? Makes my brain hurt. And makes me realize that the people I'm around here aren't anything like me. I exist on an entire different plane of reality. The thought of marrying someone you've never lived with, never spent holidays with, never gotten intimate with (sex is up to the individual, I can see someone else waiting for marriage on that one). But damn, so much growth happens in those steps, I'm fortunate enough to have found someone who grew with me, but what about people who discover differences and incompatibilities? Religion makes you wait and religion forces you to stay in if it doesn't work I'm lucky. I really am. People here are putting some external judgements on me and my relationship even more now, and I realize that, I don't have to make them understand. "you're pretty much married.....why aren't you?" Um, because we don't want to yet. Life does not revolve around the church for some people, atheists especially :P. Apparently it's ridiculous to have dated for over a year and not be engaged *gasp* I think it's impossible to date that long and not have sex, so they resort to marriege *hehe* I'm also really lucky to have my friends in California, and a couple key friends here. I'll be graduated soon (yes, graduating without being married, *gasp*) and get to go back to living with Scott, enjoying my life without hiding things. I'll miss a couple people and miss taking classes, but overall I'm completely excited. Four months of hearing bible thumpers, I can do this! |

My dad was on the today show :P http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032633/ Go there, click the second video (the power of manure) Hooray! He looks really strange without his glasses! But there you go, if you've wanted to meet my dad now you get to! |

So, I registered this morning, and got all the classes I wanted. Which, amazingly, are quite different from what I posted last time TTH M W So I'm excited. And also pretty sure the sheer VOLUME of CS courses are going to kinda kill me. But, they're all classes I want to take, so whatever. Then I'm done! Whee!!!! *dances* So, just have to focus for 2.5 more weeks, then I'm out of here. I'm already done with the research assistant stuff, so just have to finish up the other 5 courses, summer, fall, then graduate. This is all assuming my printer takes less than a decade to print out the handouts for my presentation! |

If all goes as planned, my schedule will be: Deviance: TTh 9:30 - 11 Phonology: TTh 11 - 12:30 Computer Vision: 12:30 - 2 Natural Language Processing: 2 - 3:30 Extreme Freestyle Hacking: M 1-4 C++: W 3 - 4:30 c++ only goes until November 12 So, yeah, this is assuming I get them all when I register, but WOO I'm excited. |

I vote for a week far away from here spending time with only people I enjoy being around. Who's with me? |

Okay, I'm ready to move back to California Why the hell am I still here again? |

I've always been one to look in the future. Far far far into the future, planning many paths that I could take. While sometimes these paths are vague (ie *get a job that I like* being one of the points) the path is there, and my life fills in the framework. This is where I run into problems. As the framework further and further ahead gets filled in.....I find it harder and harder to focus on the now. My mind is way ahead in the future, where I am actively making plans and actions. I'm finding it hard to work on my homework due tomorrow because I'm looking for summer jobs. I can't focus in class because I'm looking at houses to move into. I'm not reading for ASL because I'm figuring out what I need to apply/get in to grad school. I have my body in Texas, my heart in California, and my brain doing frantic time space leaps between the two. I need to sit....breathe....look around.....and move back to Texas for another year until I'm out of here for real.

Man, I REALLY don't want to miss syntax (I like that class!) But, considering I couldn't even keep down a glass of water, I PROBABLY shouldn't even try to go. Blah, I hate missing classes that I LIKE :(

The weather is beautiful today, 70, light breeze, sunny. I have been outside most of the day, reading and/or talking with people I really love talking to. Even now, sitting in my room with the window wide open. I am really, truely, happy right now.

Rains!!!! (expletive deleted) On that note, I love my syntax class, and I'm glad I have this one at 9 in the morning and not any others, because it's hard to get up early when you never have to otherwise and your next class isn't until 2. Hooray patterns and analysis!

( Oh so ridiculous ) Ah, texas government. Where the WASP male rules, separation of church and state is merely a pesky rumor, and creepy old people decide what can and cannot be done between two consenting individuals in the privacy of their own home. And people wonder why I want to get the hell out of here?

So far, this semester is going to be awesome. I've been to four of my six classes, and am REALLY looking forward to each of them. Programming is...well...programming, but there are only about 15 people in the class (which I love), and there's an English PHD student in there, so I'm not some weird language person any more! Human Sexuality is going to be really interesting, my teacher definitely has strong views, but really likes hearing from and discussing many different ideas and opinions from many different backgrounds. Also, my small group is going to be fun in there. Syntax is going to be a challenge, but a challenge in an area I enjoy! My teacher is young and energetic and obviously knows what he's talking about (always a good thing). And apparently he went to stanford for computational linguistics - I shall be having a chat with him. Met with Doug this morning about my research "class", and I'll be learning a TON, and getting a lot of practice in preparing and presenting research. Now just two more, Historical Linguistics (which I'm FASCINATED with) and Sign language communities (which just sounds neat) Overall, going to be a good semester! |
