Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes

Where is everyone?

I think my eyes might be melting out of my head soon. Since noon, I've done nothing, and it's 5:30 now. Odd thing is, I'm still tired. It find it hard to concentrate on anything. I only have a morning class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so my whole day is free. Of course I don't have any homework yet, but when I do, I doubt I'll do it in ther afternoon. I'm more of an evening worker. Something about the sun keeps me from doing work.

My Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is chock full of four hours of math classes. None of them are extraordinarily interesting, but I think it should be a good enough term. I was at first enrolledin basic french, but it wasn't as basic as I was hoping, so I switched out of it and into CS 330 - Management Information Systems. It may be labeled as a CS course, but so far it sounds like a business course. I absolutely dread business-like stuff. Too many flashy diagrams that don't make sense to me, and buzzwords like "global economy" and "supply chain". Paired with the fact that it's at 8:30 in the morning, I'm gonna have a hard time staying awake to learn the material. Hopefully, four math courses and a business-CS course will be managable.

Unfortunately, my 4A isn't looking as empty as I want it to look. Most of the decent introductory electives are offered only in the Fall, so I was hoping that by taking all core courses this term, I could take two electives next fall. Unfortunately my classes are pretty well pre-determined since four of the eight courses I need to take in fourth year are offered only in the fall. Of course, if I stay in the summer, that could all change.

I've been trying to find any sort of student housing in Waterloo through the internet, but there are very few resources. Living in CLV is looking like a better idea each day. I know Andrew wouldn't mind living here again, but John and Hugh will be heartbroken if they don't live with me (poor kids). I've still got a few weeks to keep searching, I think I'll have to hit up newspapers and maybe even look around town. Of course, no one will be advertising an open house this early in the year.

My efforts to find a new board game have been fruitless so far. Hugh, Andrew and I went to J&J's, but their stock seemed to be dwindling. They didn't have anything I was looking for. I'm quite certain that they carry Munchkin, Ticket to Ride, and Deluxe Scrabble, so I'm gonna give it a week and go back next weekend. The three of us actually scoured around town looking for other hobby stores. We found one that was really good, they had a lot of games I've never heard of or seen at J&J, but they still didn't have anything I was looking for ahead of time. The had a whole rack full of card games, but I didn't want to take a chance on something I've never heard of before.

The other day, I borrowed Munchkin from the Math Society office. Andrew, Mat, Hugh and I played last night. I didn't enjoy it that much, since nothing was working out for me. We'll play again tonight only because I have to bring it back sometime soon to get my student card back. Hopefully we can rope in another two people to play.

I haven't seen much of John lately. He said he'd play something with us last night, but I couldn't get a hold of him. I can only assume he was spending time with his girlfriend. I think that makes three nights in a row...that bitch is stealing our John!

I'm sure this is uninteresting to anyone besides me, but I like to talk about it anyways. I actually worked up the courage to talk to a random girl the other day! We were both standing in line waiting to see a CS advisor. I didn't talk to her in line, but rather after we were both done. She was leaving just as I was going in to see the advisor, so I figured she had a head start on me, but when I was leaving, she was in the hall putting on her jacket or something of the ilk. When I was checking her out in line, I noticed she had features similar to Tunde and another Hungarian girl I know, so I was actually curious if she had any Hungarian background. Yes, I know, it's an obscure question to start off a conversation with, but I was curious. After that, we wound up walking in the same direction for a while, so I kept the conversation up. In retrospect, I'm not entirely sure if she was all that interested in the conversation, but I had a good time. Unfortunately, when we parted ways, I didn't have the testicular fortitude to ask for her number. Well, baby steps, right? I'm pleased with myself.

Listening to... Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Link of the moment... Seems to have good reviews, but how often will I get 4 to 6 people together that want to play this?
