Let's try that again
So here's my first interesting story: last weekend (namely Sunday), we realized there was no hot water in the house. We put up with it for the day since we couldn't call anyone about it. The next day, I phoned a few places that were no help to me. I left a message with my landlord, who I STILL have not heard back from. I decided to try anything I could do by myself; namely check the fuses. We have an old style fuse box, so without a voltmeter I can't actually check the fuses myself. I popped out the fuses for the hot water heater and brought them to Canadian Tire. They were different amperages, which was odd, and the 30A fuse was blown instead of the 15A, even more odd. Anyways, I bought a new 30A fuse and popped them back in when I got home, and that seemed to do the trick. Later that day I had a shower of both cleansing and victory.
Sometimes I feel a little unappreciated around here. No one will ever do anything with me. All I want to do is play a game of cards instead of watching stupid TV, but no one around here will co-operate. Andrew would play but he's always too damned busy.
The other night I fell into a state of borderline depression. I got back my process paper from ENGL 119 and got a 60% on it. I'll admit I didn't put too much effort into it, but I feel I deserve way more than a lousy 60%. Between 8 and midnight, I waited. I waited for one of my roommates to acknowledge my existence. I played solitaire for a while, slept on my desk for a while, sulked for a while, and the whole while, no one came. I make a habit of it to wander the house every now and then and asking people how their days have been going.
I think I'm going to stop giving them so much credit. No more free dinners, no more "I'm going to Sobeys, do you want anything", no more "sure I'll do whatever you want to do". More than anything I'm sick and tired of getting my hopes up, thinking that maybe something will actually turn my way one of these days. I think maybe it's about time I start looking for someone who can sympathize with me. Sometimes I feel like I just don't belong in this world. People will listen to me blather on, but they certainly don't enjoy it. I think my only real saviour is Nathalie, god bless her. She will always lend a compassionate ear, and I think she really understands me.
Well it looks like my schedule is picked out for next term for the most part. As expected, I'll be taking
CO 342 (Graph Theory),
CO 485 (Public Key Cryptography),
ENGL 306A (Intro to Linguistics), and
PHYS 121 (Mechanics and Waves 1, by distance ed).
Overall a decent term. I was hoping to take classical studies, but it is only open to first year arts students. I'm glad to be taking the Physics course, as mechanics is the only real branch of it that interests me. I wish I could have taken an on-campus section with a good prof that fits into my schedule, but unfortunately no such section exists. I was also slightly interested in the intro to cognitive science course, but I think it might be too much work and thinking for my liking.
Don't you wish you could set your body like an egg timer? Tell it exactly when you want to go to sleep, and tell it exactly when you want to wake up, fully refreshed. I went to bed at about 11, but as I hope you are able to conlude, it did not work.
I've had games on the brain lately. I'm still not sure if my schedule is clear enough for me to start playing, but I think I've more or less got the time. So long as I work efficiently when I do work on my assignments, I can finish them all pretty quickly. I wish I could waste this weekend playing some games, but this is the weekend I go to Windsor with my mom and sister for my cousin's wedding. It's a four hour drive to Windsor! I guess I'll just have to speed. I've already got a playlist queued up on my Zen. All I need to do is make sure I put some good tv episodes on there too for when I get bored and I'm set.
Well I'm still not tired, so I guess I'll peruse the internet for a while, read up on some games perhaps. I certainly hope my lack of sleep doesn't cause me to crash while driving tomorrow.
