The Chronicles of Ballchomping

Here’s my schedule for Fall. Should be a good time. Sort of.

So God has a way of being fucking sweet. God just has a way of owning you that is just beautiful. Its like playing Halo against someone infinitely better than you, after getting your ass handed to you enough times you come to realize how fucking badass your opponent is. So basically I gave up my luck for this week. I said, I need a week where I do things without divine interference. And consequently I got my ass handed to me. In chronological order, these are the events of ass-handedness that stood out to me:

• Accomplished nothing of the many things I had planned for the weekend.
• Didn’t properly send off my girlfiend to chi-town.
• Accidentalliy ran over Sheenika’s cell phone with Joe’s car.
• Didn’t get adequate sleep, ever
• Slept through CSE 105 quiz, as a consequence of not getting adequate sleep.
• Spent Wednesday trying to do my ECE project, and so obviously broke my circuit.
• Spent Wednesay night realizing I had a Psychology paper due, not to mention ECE quiz.
• Finished psyc paper at 8:00 am, and studied for my ECE quiz for half an hour.
• Consequently passed out at 8:30, only to come to at 11:30 AFTER the ECE quiz and just in time to turn in the psyc paper.
• Continued working on ECE circuit, and burned myself with a 700 degree soldering iron. That was at 3:00 pm. It STILL burns.
• And it turns out, after destroying my IC, it wasnt the IC afterall…its some unknown cause that we can only assume is God playing tricks on my hundreds digit.
• And the week is not yet over…

Moral of the story: Get enough sleep. Dont sleep through two quizzes in one week. Try not to burn yourself excessively.

Also, be careful about asking for your luck to dissappear, because it will.
I wait until she she returns from the darkside. I wait now for my luck, and the grace of God.And while the darkside looms overhead, I plan to be on my toes.
Title inspired by Massive Attack - Angel

You are my angel
Come from way above
To bring me love

Her eyes
She’s on the dark side
Neutralize
Every man in sight

To love you, love you, love you …

So the class outline may start to get rough, really quickly.

CSE 105: Quiz every Tues.

ECE 118: Quiz every Thurs.

Then, I have a milestone (whatever that is) due for ECE every week. This one, one page of goal oriented design specs. So basically, how are you going to do this, with what parts, and what connections. I think the prof missed the memo that I’ve never built a circuit before.

PSYC 106: Is worse than biology. Imagine ~30-50 terms. Then imagine learning those every Tues/Thurs. And then, imagine that the prof guarantees them on the midterm without fail.Terms, diagrams, graphs, and no actual knowlege gained. Im about 49% sure I will drop this class. Waiting for majority to rule.

Did I mention ECE?

btw. There will probably be a wiki about my progress in the project up soon.

Too bad I dont have time for most of this stuff.

Good thing ruby saves me at work.

Edit: Psyc 104 paper due in one week. Ill have to muster that up, in between sending voltages from pin 2-9, learning how to spell treap before I actually code it, use my brain to memorize whats in my brain, and parsing logs using all that fabulous regexen we learn in 105. fun.
