Dazzling Meaning Weird


	September 2003 September 3, 2003 \|Time\| 4:37 PM \|Music\| none \|Habit\| not getting enough sleep \|Feel\| full, i just ate \|Think\| interesting day today So, today started out like any other day. Got up at 5:30, went to school, froze, worked on some code, the normal stuff. I never expected the day to be even slightly interesting in the least. Oh how wrong one can be and all before 10 AM. Sometime before 10 we were let on break, so Nichole, Kristen, and I went and stood outside the first-year IWT room. The room has glass windows all along the wall so employers and people on a tour of the school can see what the class is like. When we were in first year we hated having people outside watching us, but we learned to get used to it after a short time. Since we had that done to us, we like to do it to the first-year students now, plus we just see what it is they are learning at the time. Anyway, we were standing outside the class just talking. Then Nichole was saying how one of the students in the class said they doesn't like their computer case because it's too heavy. Well, the reason it's 'too heavy' is because they are large and people can now put their books in them as well. So we're talking about the laptop cases and a guy in the first year class had packed up his stuff and he walked out of the room. Then he starts talking to us and is all angry and says: "Oh, that's right, say it loud enough so I can hear." The three of us are just confused at this point and wondering what's he talking about. Then he says: "Would you like to go to the office and tell them what you said." Honestly, we were talking about cases and he's all accusing us of talking about him. After he's done saying this he just is angry as hell and storms off into the library. We're just wondering what the hell is wrong with the guy and then one of the guys that was in our class last year comes up the stairs and starts talking to us. It was maybe 30 seconds after the crazy guy went into the library when he comes out again still all angry and walks over to us and demands to know what we were saying. We told him just what we were talking about, laptop cases. He then says "Well I'm sorry." So we think that's the end of that and he realizes we weren't talking about him. But then suddenly he just starts yelling at us. He's all like "You don't know what it's fucking like to be harrassed wherever you go in the fucking world!" And then he makes some comment about satanism, I'm not sure if he was saying he was or if he was saying that people think he's a satanist or what. He's yelling at us and cussing like crazy and then he just storms back into the library. We were all just in shock. I guess the guy thought we were talking about him and that we were racist or something, I have no idea. He was just psycho. Right at the time the guy starts yelling at us, some people that were still in our classroom opened the door because they were going to leave the room for something and everyone that was in there heard this guy yelling. So once he left they all came out to see what had happened. So we tell the story to everyone in our class. Then later in the day we go to our math class and over half of my IWT class is in there along with some other people. So two new guys that just came into the class today recognized us as the girls that the crazy guy yelled at and so we tell them what happened. Then they say that he apparently was talking about satanism in the library. Well one of the guys in my IWT class found out that psycho was going to the counselor and that's why he left class. I guess he made a claim that earlier this week or else last week some girl was harrassing him and that's why he was going to the counselor. Then he told us that the first-year IWT teacher had later received an email saying that psycho was no longer going to be in her class. Apparently he did have some mental problems and was either dismissed from her class because of behavior or else he dropped out. I'm glad I never have to see him again cuz I was worried about what he might do. I know that the students in there had to have heard him, he was just that loud. And the teacher had seen him walk back out of the library and go over to us. Nichole works for her after school so she was going to tell her then about what happened since she had obviously seen what happened, and probably heard too. I had my first test in conceptual physics today. 25 multiple choice questions. I wasn't sure about like 2 or 3 of the questions, but other than that I know I did good. I had my first test in IWT yesterday. I ended up with a 78% on the written part, but 4 of the questions I ended up getting wrong were thrown out because either the scantron score card had the wrong answer and we actually had it right or else because the questions were confusing and over half the class got it wrong. So I ended up with a 88%, which I'm fine with cuz those written tests are hard. Then I got my hands-on test back today and I got a 100% on that, so overall I did good. I have my first test in college algebra on Monday, which is going to be really easy for me. I went through quite a few math classes in high school, including advanced algebra/trigonometry. I shouldn't have been in the math class I had last year cuz I already knew all of that. Oh well, I ended up with 100% in there anyway so it doesn't even matter. I'm just wish I didn't have to waste my time in there is all. I don't know, I just understand algebra. I've had 5 algebra classes already, this being my 6th. I like doing the ax²+bx+c=0 and ax+b=c type problems. I'm weird. That's what we're doing now, and of course we're doing some stupid graphing stuff. I never did like graphing, even if some of it is easy. Bowling season starts tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it since I haven't bowled much over the summer. I really hope I do well. I had a 200 something game over the summer, and a few other high games in like the 180's and 190's. It'd be nice if I could have a higher average than a 150, which is what I finally got up to with the last night of bowling last season. I almost didn't make it, but that was my goal for then. I hope I do well tomorrow cuz then I'll start out with a high average and then I'll be able to work to keep it up and get even higher. My mom doesn't quite feel the same way as I do with that. She thinks that having a lower average to start with is better because then you don't have to worry about hitting it. Well, I want to start high, keep it high, and try for higher. Maybe if I bowled even slightly normally I might do better, but I've been doing it my way since 1992; it's fun though. September 10, 2003 \|Time\| 4:46 PM \|Music\| "Someday" Nickelback \|Habit\| repeating songs \|Feel\| kinda hungry \|Think\| i hate physics "Someday, somehow it's gonna be alright but not right now." I've wanted to listen to this song all day, but I haven't put it on cd yet. So I just went ahead and listened to the Silver Side Up, at least I think that's what it is, cd by them cuz that's all I have as of now. And I really only listen to two songs off of that cd which makes for a fun drive to and from school. I had to take it out on the way home though cuz I was stuck in some traffic for no reason. They had signs up saying that there was bridge work, I have to cross the Mississippi and I do so by way of the Poplar. Well, it was slow moving, and then finally I saw the signs. Then I get up there and there's nobody, no vehicles, no nothing. Some work... I just don't get it with the traffic though, cuz right as I got past a certain point it sped up from crawl and brake to 50+ mph. So stupid. And some idiot on their phone cut me off too. Luckily it was during the crawl period cuz otherwise there would have been some problems cuz I was moving and they just suddenly decided it was a good time to get over and I was right there. People need to get off their phones and drive. I had a physics test again today. I don't think that went too well. For the most part it was all math and formulas, but the questions that weren't... I forgot what velocity actually was and of course a few problems were about that. I think one problem was a trick question cuz it was m/s² and all of the answers were only m/s. I of course went with none of the above and probably got it wrong. I don't like physics. I can't remember the stuff for anything and it's so boring and awful. I'd rather be taking computer, math, history, or english tests, anything really besides physics or science. I've never liked science, that is, unless you get into the interesting stuff like forensics, but that's not my thing either. I just find it interesting. I'm a computer and english person. If I actually have something to write about, I love to do it, maybe that's why I can ramble on and on about nothing forever. =) I got my first math test back. I made the stupidest mistake of multiplying something by the wrong number so I got one point off and ended up with a 98%. I was looking forward to getting my 100 too. Oh well. I got a 90% on my written IWT test and a 102% on my hands-on part. I have a 93 in there at the moment, which happens to be an A. I kept thinking that it was a B cuz I'm used to 94-100 being an A from high school. I'm doing well in there right now. Some people had in the 60's and stuff on their last written part. And my teacher called on me today to answer a question, and I thought about it for a little bit and he was going on about how I had a 50/50 chance cuz it was a yes or no question. Of course if I said no, then I had to explain why. I knew the answer from the start, but I hate answering things wrong cuz I feel stupid and he likes to call on me a lot (allot, just for you Sean). I took my time and made sure I knew what I was talking about and I was right. Yay! I think that's the first question I've answered right when he's called on me. We did some extra credit work which was a bitch cuz it was code and you had to explain why things were valid or invalid and it's hard to explain things like: x y = new x(); ... That line is actually valid too. That creates and instance of a class. It takes the class named x and makes it into an object named y so that it can be used and called upon in other classes and you can do a bunch of stuff with it in all your methods. Oh the joys of Java. I kinda know what I'm doing; it just takes me a little bit but then I do work it out. (Oh, that's not an answer I'd write down. I got quite into my answers and went on and on and actually explained things.) This past Saturday, September 6 was my cousin Jenny's wedding. I was a bride's maid. The only other time I've been in a wedding was when I was like 5, and I was a flower girl. It was fun. I got no sleep though. Saturday was a long day. After about 4 or so hours of sleep I got up, had breakfast, got my hair and makeup done at 11am, got ready for the wedding and had pictures at 3:30, then the wedding was at 6:30, then the reception until about 2am. I was bored out of my mind at the reception though. I really didn't have anyone to talk to and I don't like to dance, so basically I just sat around for about 6 hours. Other than that it was a really beautiful and nice wedding. It was at Rend Lake and was outside and by the water, and the sun was setting during the wedding. Plus they had a really short wedding, only like 20 minutes at most. That was nice! I loved the flowers we had too! Star gazer lilies. I have them on my kitchen table now. They are so pretty and they smell really good. I'm gonna have to get some scented candles like that, and I know they have them cuz I found them online; I just have to figure out where to get it at. I can't wait to get pictures back from the wedding and also the professional pics that were taken. I loved the way my hair was, and the dress is really pretty. People kept telling me how beautiful I looked and then some people were saying they almost didn't recognize me. You know, I don't really see how anyone can take a comment like that well. Sure I usually just have my hair down and straight, and I don't wear dresses, but I do wear makeup now. Other than the hair and the dress I was the same. Well, the makeup was a little more than I'd wear, but that could change cuz I did buy the powder and lipstick that I had on. We'll see if I actually ever use the powder. September 16, 2003 \|Time\| 4:56 PM \|Music\| "In My Place" Coldplay \|Habit\| working ahead on homework \|Feel\| odd, not all that great \|Think\| time goes by too slowly at times and too quickly other times Yesterday was the start of the birthdays. My friend Jenny's was yesterday, I should have called... Today is my cousin Bill's, I'm gonna email him later... Tomorrow is my cousin Rachel's, I was at her apartment today and will be at her house for cake tomorrow evening. The 23rd is my cousin Robert's bday. January, June, and September are the big bday months. My sister's, mine, my mom's, my grandma's are all in June, along with some other people. January is my dad's and my friends becky and chip. I'm not too big on birthdays cuz I hate trying to get gifts for people, with the exception of one person, cuz they never know what the hell they want. At least nobody has money because of school and everything and everyone is gone away for school so I really don't have to worry about the whole gift thing. My friends won't have to bother with my birthday this coming year or any year after that cuz I'll be far away by then. And I can't wait for that. I studied longer last night than I normally do for tests. Then I got a headache and was tired so I ended up going to bed at 9 and was out before 9:30. I'm pretty sure it was last night that I woke up at 12. I know I got up at one point for something but I can't remember the time now. I think I did that recently as well which is why I have no idea what time it was. Ok, I guess I got up and got a drink and turned my fan off. Then this morning when I got up for school I wasn't cold! Yesterday morning was awful cuz I left my fan on all night. I have my window open and it's hot when I go to bed, but I think I need to deal with that so I don't wake up freezing. I hate alarm clocks. My SSJ3 Goku one was fun for a while cuz it has DragonBall music but it does have an annoying girl voice saying "good morning" throughout it all. I think I wouldn't hate my alarm as much right now if the voice was gone. It looks kool though, and I guess it is better than beeping which you get from every other clock. I'm pretty sure I did well on my IWT test today. I wasn't sure about a few of the questions on the written part, but then again I never am. Then the hands-on was easy. I was done with both parts after an hour and a half and it's a 4 hour class. Lots of people needed help and some were still working when I finally got to leave at 11:40. I sat in the class doing nothing cuz we can't play games or surf while in class. I ended up doing some more of my homework lessons from my book and now I'm ahead by like 5 or 6 lessons. It is nice never having to work on that when I get home though. I couldn't even do that the entire time; I have patience and can sit and do nothing for extended periods of time, but to do that around the people in my class.. I don't think so. I'm going to start studying for physics tomorrow since my test is on Friday. I have to get decent grades from now on. I'm even doing extra credit. The class is so funny. Our teacher gives us worksheets for homework which aren't due until the day of the test. The day before the test he'll answer any questions we have about the worksheet and give us the answers. He also posts the answers for all of the worksheets online. Then the extra credit is pages in our workbook and the answers are in the back of the book. You know, if I had known about those answers sooner, I would have been doing the extra credit all along. I'm being good with the worksheet though. I'm actually going through and figuring the stuff out on my own so maybe I'll be able to do well on the damn test. All I have to say is that physics is evil. Yesterday was an awful day. I didn't do anything really all day, then I tried helping my cousin out with a game problem, which resulted in me asking Sean as usual. Lately I just haven't been feeling all that great. My face gets really hot, I feel crappy, and I'm tired. I'm not sick, so I don't know what the deal is. I need to start drinking more I think. When my face gets all hot now I go and down a glass of sweet tea or chocolate soy milk. That's all I ever drink now, but even so it tends to help out a little bit. Of course, if I start drinking more, I'll have to make tea everyday instead of like every other. 3 quarts in one day, that just seems like a lot to me. Speaking of which, I need a drink now...
