an hour

[sidewalksparkle]

Suddenly it's overcast and windy outside. I just finished reading an awesome zine called "I Was A Teenage Mormon" and eating saltine crackers. I've got an hour till I need to go to AAR, and I know perfectly well that I should use that hour to work on my Iliad paper, which I have not started. The only artificial light in the room is from the lamp on my nightstand, and as a result the room feels really cozy and comfortable and homey. I do not feel like doing my work. I feel like wrapping up in my fleece blanket and watching Fried Green Tomatoes on my computer screen, with headphones.

I got back two of my previous homework assignments from computer science, and I was absolutely thrilled--I'd received a 92 on the first, and the second and third were 100 and 88 respectively. Maybe it is reasonable for me to be in this class. It would be nice if I were better at memorizing syntax rules, but I'll take what I can get.

It's a mystery why I don't feel stressed out over this paper. I do feel worried about it, but I'm not worried enough to get to work. This is a running theme lately. There is always either something else do to or something, someone, an idea, that I'd rather be thinking about.

I hope it rains really hard tonight.

I've taken a couple CS courses before and all the professors ever say is that "the point of the course is not to learn the language, it's to learn how to think like the computer." So don't worry too much about the syntax rules...once you learn the constructs they'll become easier and easier.

amen.

i can't seem to get anything done, and the fact that i rarely have anything "due" makes it that much harder. i'm trying very hard to finish ALL of my chemistry tonight. i hope it works out.


the weather is crazy here too. i walked into my chem lab at 2 pm, and it was sunny/hot. i walked out at 5 pm and it was cloudy/cold. that's indiana for you!

You own Fried Green Tomatoes?? I adore that movie. Let's watch it together sometime!

We definitely should. We should have a Fried Green Tomatoes party with some friends from your "group" and some friends from my "group" so all can mingle. It would have to be on a very happy day, though, because the only other time I've watched that movie I cried a LOT. :) *sigh* It's so great.

"I hope it rains really hard tonight."

If it does, I'm going out to stand in it. Meet me in the Heart in the rain if you'd like.
