Be it ever so humble....

:D I'm emerging from work (not for another 10 days!!!!) and warcraft (75.5 and counting, yaaalll) to say that it is good to be home. Mom and Abuyya (what I call my Dad) and my awesome sister, picked me up at the airport terminal about an hour ago. It is good to be here. :) More later, if I feel like it. For the moment, bid me good leveling. I'd like to be raiding by next week, maybe sooner.

Ooh, and I must post here my ultimate intro-epic raid gear for hunters. But right now, back to leveling and then Dark Knight, which is supposed to be a really good movie. Oh, and you know, all that happy good energy from family. :D :D :D

Oh and I must add that I passed everything, some things better than others. :D It wasn't a great semester. It was, in fact, a crappy semester, but it's done and I survived. I'm employed and I don't have to repeat anything. I'm planning on joining the gymnastics team and I'm happy. Can't complain. There's more to life than grades. Now, next semester, I need to work on keeping more and getting the grades I can get. Because I can. Yes, I can! :D Hey, I told you I was in a good mood.

I'm done. I think finals went okay. I'm free! :D

I think I'm in the right field, finally

I like Computer Science. I like that I'm learning by doing. I like that I can think of a String in Java and know without a doubt that it is not a primitive type, because I've been using it all semester. I like that I am capable of writing a Java program that will take input and process it and produce output and I couldn't do that at the start of the semester.

For all the difficulty and regardless of how this semester turns out, I think I've found my THING.

:)

It's a good feeling.

1 down, 1 to go

Calc final is done. I didn't feel terrible on it. I got brain freeze from somebody clicking a pen next to me and couldn't for the life of me dredge up how to do an easy max/min problem, but I think it was mostly okay.

Comp sci is tomorrow, but at least it isn't until 4, so lots of time left to study. Then I have the rest of the day off after the exam and I'm free. Freeee! :)

Oh, also, I saw the team Jacob/team Edward concept somewhere. I listened to the audiobooks and I am firmly on team Jacob.

*a couple minutes later*

Eh, I went and found a picture of the actor who plays Jacob. I'm not terribly impressed. He's a little too pretty. I think their casting of Edward is spot on though, looks-wise anyway. I liked the actor who plays Edward in Harry Potter too.

Edward
Jacob
T-2 hours for Calc final. Wish me preparedness!

I want better customization in the world of applications.

Have you ever watched a movie where the hero/heroine has a laptop and needs to find out if the stocks transferred or the bomb exploded or the police are heading their way or the sensors have been tripped and they just hit a few random keys and wham! instant heads-up display.

I want one of those. Preferably, it'll read my mind and tell me what I need to know before I know that I need to know it. Also, it'll give me pop culture references for all occasions. 42!

If the ladder is sliding down the wall and the wall is sliding up the ladder, what is the rate at which an ant crawls over the 3rd rung.
Good Morning, Baltimore!

I'm spending the weekend with my parents so I don't have to worry about cooking and shopping and, of course, to see my parents.

One more day and then a half day tomorrow to study for the math final and then a day and a half to study for the comp sci final.

gogo, me.

3 days til done. 3 more days. 3 more days.
