So earlier today, this guy I knew from elementary / middle school added me on Facebook. After accepting his request, I went to his page to find out more about him (since I haven't actually seen or talked to him since middle school and I saw that he had two kids. O_O Super surprising to me, since he's like, almost a year younger than me. I mean, I know of a few other people my age who have kids and stuff, but it just seems so weird. ((I'm only 21 and since I was born in December, I got stuck starting school with people about a year younger than me.)) So yeah.. I dunno, I still get surprised when I hear of these people I know, and went to school with, having kids. It shouldn't surprise me, seeing as I went to kinda crappy (poor) schools with most people I know not making it to college, but yeah. Super weird.

The other day, I was also thinking about the fact that, if I was a regular major with a four-year program, I would be graduating next year. o_O It came about 'cause I saw my roommate updated her twitter saying she turned in her graduation evaluation request form -- at our school, you have to turn it in four quarters before you graduate ((why so far in advance, I don't know)). But yeah.. I mean, I'm gonna be a fourth year student next year, and I feel that's still super far away from graduating ((five year program)), lol, when it SO isn't. It's kinda weird to think that I'm only half-way done with school, when other people I know who aren't architecture students, are getting ready to find jobs and stuff. I just wonder how I'll be when I'm finally in fifth year, about to graduate and needing to figure out my life post-college. @_@

This weekend kinda just reinforces these thoughts since it was the annual 5th year architecture thesis show. Every year, during Memorial weekend, the fifth year architecture students put on a show of their final thesis projects that they worked on for the year. Last year's was kinda disappointing 'cause a lot of projects were crap. This year was better ((probably because of the economy and how there aren't a lot of jobs)), but yeah.. Lots of third years going to the show and taking notes on which fifth year professors they want to take, since a lot of people are going abroad next year...

In case you don't know how our last year in architecture works... At the end of our fourth year, the fifth year design professors write up their prospecti of what they're going to focus on for their studio and they're posted on the department website. Then we have to write up a thing about ourselves and our thesis proposals and rank the fifth year professors we want to take. The professors get our rankings and our proposals and then they choose who they want in their studios.

I was kinda looking for my potential studio too, when I went to the show on Saturday -- I mean, I'm not gonna be around during Spring Quarter next year, so I would miss a lot of the fifth year shows, so I need to look now, obviously... But yeah, I basically know who I want to take -- it's obvious from the system that this is a matching thing -- match personality and project to the right professor. I have no idea what I want to do yet for my thesis project, but I'm pretty sure I want to take Barry Williams 'cause I've had him twice for ECS and I think he's pretty cool. Plus, people seem to think that I'm a Barry Williams kinda person ((which, admittedly, I am, lol)). The only thing I worry about is having people I don't like in my studio. x_x I mean, year-long studio ((studio is 15 hours a week)) with people you hate? Major suckage. Especially 'cause in fifth year, the studios go on a bunch of field trips together -- definitely don't want to be stuck with people I don't like AND have to go on trips with them, where they are the only people to talk to.


Okay... Super tired now. In need of sleep!

~Remula

Today was boring. Sleep was good, haha. I love actually getting sleep.. wish I could have slept longer, but oh wellz.

So for some reason, I'm reading NSYNC fics. I know, what's up, right? But yeah.. it's kinda weird and I feel like listening to NSYNC, but not really, you know? But yeah.. I'll get over it in a day or two, so whatever. XP

As proof of the boring day it was, I uploaded pictures to Facebook. I know, be shocked and all that. I mean, seriously! I don't do that, but I guess I was just that bored, so yeah. Now I have a few pictures up. I don't really take much pictures, so the only ones I have are from this break. All my older pics are on my old computer. =/

So the new year is upon us! I need to make my resolutions, haha. But that's for tomorrow, since it's New Years Eve. Got all day for that. XP

~Remula

So got up at 11:00 today.. Didn't really do much.. Around 11:45 or something, parents were like, "Let's go walk at the park!" and aznearthdragon, being the loser she is, said, "Okay!" and yeah. So we went to the park and walked two rounds, then we went over to walk around Target before going to Longs Drugs. They didn't have any more iron pills, so went over to Wal-Mart and bought more sunscreen for me ((Damn them for not having a big selection.. Who cares that it's not summer time? Some people still wear sunscreen everyday, damnit!)) and got some other stuff, then went home.

Watched Rent 'cause Lilian let us borrow it yesterday and yeah.. It was good. Yeah, I know.. It came out last year, but I hadn't seen it yet, so whatever. Anywayz.. yeah. I cried when Angel died. ;_; That was sad. =(

So Alex added me and aznearthdragon on Facebook. See, if this was anyone else, I wouldn't care so much, but he's my cousin and he doesn't really know much about my personal life and I'd like to keep things that way, but it seems like life isn't with me because I can't just reject him as a friend, you know, so yeah. Now he will know stuff, like the fact that I have a boyfriend, and, you know, that's just not cool because he'll tell people and then it'll be a big deal or something and yeah.. That goes for aznearthdragon too..

Waiting impatiently for February 6th to come. x_x 'Cause, yeah.. E-mails saying that we can pre-order the digitial version now just makes me want it more! =( Why does February 6th have to be so far away? =( Only about a month and a half to go.. Come on!

MORNING
Woke up around 6:45 and then got ready for school and all that jazz. Went on the computer, then left for school around 7:50.


INTRO TO EDES 101
The teacher starting to just pointing to people for the questioners. That's so dumb 'cause the only reason people go is to see if they get their names called. BLEHHHH! Landscape architect talked.. BLAH. But yeah, when the LA dude was answering questions, he was like, blah blah blah, "It's like a shell game" and then I wanted to crack up SO MUCH 'cause the P!ATD VS Dresden Dolls video! "It's a fucking shell game now!" / "What's a shell game?" XD The only entertaining thing there..


ARCHITECTURE 105 & BREAK
Worked on my project. I felt like I got a lot done, 'til I REALLY look and realize, FUCK, I don't. x_x I only got the two side frames done. x_x So basically, eight pieces of the thing is working right now.. x_x Gave up at 11:40 and went home 20 minutes early.. Got home, ate, then worked on my English essay. x_x Didn't get that far.. BLEHHH! Then printed and went to school.


MATH 142
Took notes.. Logistic growth formula or whatever.. Got homework. BLEH!


ENGLISH 134
Peer edited our papers.. Boringness.. BLEH!


AFTERWARDS
Went home and worked on my slip case.. Then went to eat dinner at 5:00-ish, then worked on project some more before leaving for school at 5:45 with Kitto. bobbleheadvi called and got pissed off at me for no freakin' reason but because I was WALKING TO SCHOOL WITH SOMEONE THAT JUST HAPPENED TO BE A GUY. WTF. Made me mad..

Got to school and went to the Berg Gallery and then the Department Head talked about architecture for a bit, then the Associate Department Head talked about the the architecture website. We talked about that for a bit, then got to leave early at 7:10-ish. Went home and then worked on my slip case some more. Doesn't really look like a case and the book isn't encased at all, but I dunno.. I still don't understand how much of the book we're suppose to cover and stuff.. Just don't get it. x_x So yeah.. I probably don't have a case still and they said we needed to have a case tomorrow. x_x Fuckin' class.. hate it. =(

Showered around 9:45 and yeah.. That's about it..


English is canceled tomorrow, so I'm free of absence for that day. Yay. Except for the part where I actually have to DO something at that time instead of just relaxing..


EDES Poly Canyon Project Day tomorrow from 1:00 to 5:00. x_x It could possibly take an hour to walk up to the meeting place, especially with the fact that I don't know where it is. Considering the fact that class ends at 12:00, I might JUST be screwed over. x_x


ARCH 105 project sucks ass. Gonna go on Saturday and work on it after the Poly Canyon Tour. x_x Gonna probably be there all day... *sigh* Hopefully I can finish, 'cause yeah.. Can't work on it at home and it's due on the 30th and aznearthdragon told me that finishing takes about three hours to dry, so.. yeah. I want to finish on Saturday and just finish it at home, but I dunno if it'll be possible. Hopefully there aren't that many people there, so it'll be easier to work.. *sigh* Anyone in SD have the tools I need to work on my project? ^_^;;


bobbleheadvi showed me this:

You must be a computer technician because you turn my three and a half inch floppy into a hard drive!

And, I must say, I LOVE IT! XD Mwhahahah! This must go to my wall immediately! XP Along with the derivative one. XD


And I saw this on Facebook.. WARNING: NC-17-ness!


"They integrated from the very point of origin. Her curves were continuous, and even though he was odd, he was a real number. They both wanted to get skewed. The day their lines first intersected, they became an ordered pair. From then on, it was a continuous function.They were both in their prime, so in next to no time they were horizontal and parallel. She was awed by the magnitude of his perpendicular line, and he was amazed by her conical projections.

"Bisect my angle!" she postulated each time she reached her local maximum. They had many simultaneous solutions. He taught her the chain rule as she implicitly defined the amplitude of his simple harmonic motion. They underwent multiple rotations of their axes, until at last they reached the vertex, the critical point, their finite limit.

After that they slept like logs. Later she found him taking a right-handed limit,and that was a problem. It was improper form. He meanwhile had realized that she was irrational..."


And yeah.. I'll just stop now. XP
