I'm feeling very sleeeeeeeepy
Jan. 2nd, 2006 08:27 pmIt isn't even 8:00, and I'm feeling rather tired. I was up at around 7:30, so maybe that has something to do with it? Either way, it isn't too cool that's for sure.
The rest of my New Year's Eve after I wrote last went well enough. We started the game of Monopoly, (I don't know if we'll finish it at some point, and I can't remember who's winning), made punch, drank said punch, watched the ball drop,said Happy New Year/Rabbit Rabbit, (what you're suppose to say on the first of every month before anything else), and toasted in the new year shortly afterwards. After our toast, we went outside and let off a few of those popper thingys, (I can't really explain what they look like), and my dog was outside at the time, because I was really hoping she'd go pee while she had the chance, but she wanted to go inside shortly afterwards, because the fireworks that were going off outside wor somewhat freaking her out and scaring her I think, poor Liv. Ah well, she's fine, so all is good. Shorly after that, I went to bed after doing I'm sure random crap that I can't remember besides wishing a lot of people on my msn list a Happy New Year which was slightly amusing.
Yesterday, (New Year's Day), was pretty low key. I really don't know what we did, but if I remember correctly, I think I just stayed home all day? I read some, which is always good, though I'm not finished with Da Vinci Code yet. Actually, I do indeed remember that my sisters and I did I think go over to my grandparents', so that was cool.
Today has been pretty much the same. I went shopping at the mall in the morning, and bought my Birthday present for myself. I got a set of Bose speakers, and they're hooked up to my computer right now, and they're definitely quite nifty, even though as I write this, I'm using headphones as Kathryn is in here watching a movie, the name of which I can't remember, but that isn't too important is it? The speakers I had still work, but they're somewhat old, and I think may die at some point, it's gotten to the point that when I use headphones with them, when I unplug them, the right speaker usually shorts out, and sometimes it's the left. Not a big deal, but it's nice to have this system that's for sure. I'll keep my other set here, so I won't have to move sets back and fourth from school to home when I come back here for breaks and whatnot, definitely a good thing.
As for tomorrow, not too much is on the plate, besides the meeting at 1:00 with the professor from last semester to start figuring things out so that I can get this bloody class done and finished with once and for all--what a concept? Ah well, I just hope things go well, and I don't end up being more annoyed and things, but I shall not go into that here; it isn't necessary to rehash such things is it? My grandfather is going to take me to the meeting since Mom's at work, and I think he said he might stay and then we'll leave. (I hope to crap that it doesn't last more than about an hour--crap, if he [the prof]wants me to take any parts of the tests I have to make up, I really wasn't planning on that, and that would be somewhat not fair maybe? That, and I also wasn't planning on spending a whole afternoon there...). I dunno why, but I feel kind of bad for my grandfather having to wait there for that long, but maybe it is better than him going back home and then coming back, I don't know. Why do I do this to myself, seriously? I need to just stop having these guilt trips, especially since there's nothing at all for me to be guilty of.
I've finished completing applications for the two internships I'm going to apply to for the summer. One of them is the AAPD Microsoft I.T. Internship, in Washington D.C., and the other one would be up in Ithaca, headed by one of my past professors who's actually writing me a recommendation for the Washington internship application, because I didn't feel comfortable at all with asking any of the CS professors at UD to write me a letter that's for sure; the only one I've had, I feel, doesn't know me at all, and I'm really serious--a fact that I find somewhat sad, but what can you do? Said Ithaca professor has agreed to write me a letter, and I'm more than glad, and definitely appreciative of that fact. I miss my professors up there, I really do. I'm not sure what to do about the Ithaca internship as far as a recommendation letter goes, though, seeing as how the application wants a letter of recommendation from the department of your major. I'll ask the professor about it, though, and hopefully she'll tell me what I can do, and something can be worked out. Maybe I can see if another Ithaca CS professor wouldn't mind writing me one. If it didn't have to come from someone in my actual department, (even if I could use someone from the Philosophy dept--probably not too wise since it's a Computer Science-related internship--I haven't taken any Philosophy classes here yet, so that might not work either), I could more than likely get the ADA director to write one for me, but as it has to come from someone from the actual department...
With that, I think I'll close. I daresay I've run out of things to write about, and I've seriously r'r'r'r'really gotta pee!
If any of you could send me happy energy/thoughts tomorrow around 1:00 that this meeting will go okay and everything will be fine and I'll be able to enjoy myself after it because, after all, Wednesday is the Rose Bowl, (USC definitely!), Thursday is my Birthday, (21, baby!), Friday a friend of the family who we haven't seen in a really really long time is I believe coming at some point to see us, and Saturday is a reunion for the summer camp Kathryn and I use to attend for blind/visually impaired kids followed by my first trip to the slots, (ooo, gambling, how scary!), it would be really appreciated, and I do mean that. I just want to get through this one class relatively unscathed, and even possibly end up with a B. If I can get a B, I'll take it' no complaints or questions asked. That's how over this whole ordeal I really am. I'd like an A, those are nice, but I'll take a B, as long as it wouldn't end up hurting my 3.5 GPA too badly.
More later, most likely after my meeting tomorrow. Wish me luck, I may need it.
