Skating is not among my skillz
Why...WHY are there Germans in my living room, talknig far too loudly at 7 AM??? WHY does Christian have to laugh so GOD DAMNED LOUD???
Last night I went ice skating with Tunde, Andrew, and Mat. It took so damn long to rent skates. Plans always go sour like that...the first place I try going to never winds up being the right place to go. The skating itself was pretty crappy. I never learned how to skate to begin with, and I certainly didn't learn last night. I fell only once, and my knee is hurting this morning because of it. My feet were killing me last night as well, because I wasn't keeping my ankles straight.
The only real saving grace from last night is that it gave me and excuse to be a little more physical with Tunde...she was being "hand holdy", if I may, to help me get on the ice and stuff like that. She even brought up the subject of Valentine's Day, so I thought things were goin well, but then she gave a little story of a cute optometry student she was working with last week, so I guess things weren't going as well as I thought.
After skating, we came to my place and the four of us played Settlers of Catan. I didn't really do that well, par usual. After that, it was 12:30 and I drove Tunde home, and Mat and Andrew went home too. I even worked up the courage to ask Tunde if she wanted to go out for dinner on Valentine's day (but I didn't call it that, I called it "Tuesday" for safety), but she is working that night. The important thing is I asked.
Shit...maybe I shouldn't be posting stuff like that...I think she said she wants to read my blog. Well, whatever. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
Yeesh, I wish I'd updated earlier this week. A week's delay makes for a really long post.
Tuesday night was a pretty big one. I wrote my Real Analysis midterm, and it went really well. I think I'm looking at a 90%, which is amazing for the little studying I did, and how much I was struggling on most of the assignments. After that, some of us decided to do laundry at 12:30 in the morning, so I didn't get to sleep until 3. Andrea helped me with my Linear Opt, and Mat helped with Number Theory.
I've been eating with Andrew and Mat a lot lately. First was when I had pizza at Andrew's house, then Friday night I made both of them chicken with alfredo pasta and salad. Yesterday morning I made pancakes, and Mat came over. Last night, Andrew made us pizza (again). I guess all the free meals are collectively Mat's birthday present.
Well, I don't think I have any prospects left for Valentine's Day. Molly and Quinn are dating, Tunde is busy, and I haven't bonded enough with Steffi. If Laura were in town, I'd bother her, but then again she's sick anyways and probably would rather rest.
I've been trying to download CounterStrike: Source, but the whole thing is ~3 GB worth of downloading, and I have a 1500 MB limit over seven days, so I've been doing it in about 20% increments every Saturday. I'm only at 60% now, but I doubt I'll even have the time to waste on it until the summer anyways.
I was thinking the other day how I wish I knew some woodworking. I was saying to Adam how it would be cool to make my own game pieces, but he suggested that wood carving is a better and cheaper hobby for that sort of thing. I think I'd also like to make my own folding table, and I told my mom when I get back in the summer (2007), I'll build her a screened-in room on the patio. Hehe, I just hope Adam and my dad will help me, cause I have no idea what the hell I'm doing, but they say immersion is the best way to learn.
This week is my midterm week. I've got on Tuesday morning, Thursday night, and Friday afternoon. After that, only one left on the next Tuesday, then a few days off. This is the last year that math only gets two days off, next year it's the full week. I'm already thinking ahead about what I should do. I think I'd like to go to Europe, but a week isn't long enough. I could do a road trip, but there's nowhere nearby that I'd want to go.
Hmmm, not even 8 yet. What will I do with the rest of my day? Ideally, I'd be studying, but let's get realistic here. All I know is that this will make for a relaxing nap later.
Listening to... System of a Down - Holy Mountain
Link of the moment... Can anybody think of any good GBA games? I think I might look for a Kirby game and a Zelda game.
