I haven't posted in awhile and I felt like typing something. The D&D campaign is going great:) Some of the players are going to participate in Pennsic, which sounds pretty cool, so I'm going with them to an informational meeting tonight. I've got a test tomorrow, so I'm going to study all of this afternoon (after playing Blood Omen for a few minutes). I also have a vague feeling that I want to play Diablo II because all through my math class this morning, I kept smelling a faint sweetness in the air that for some reason I've associated with Kurast (it must have been in the air when I was playing it several years ago...). Anyhow, I'm off to go get stuff done now.

I am feeling better today. I'm still a little sick (nauseous and a bit tired) but that might just be because I didn't get much sleep last night. Or well, I fell asleep for several hours, and then woke up around midnight and realized that I forgot to do my math homework, so I got that done in two hours, and then I went back to sleep. I think I got most of it, so I feel better because I hadn't been able to understand it before. I still feel a little down, but I'm not really depressed anymore. Thankfully whenever I feel as bad as I did yesterday morning, it passes quickly. I wonder if I will not allow myself to be happy for some reason. It seems that whenever I feel really good for awhile, the littlest thing can trigger me to suddenly feel sad for no good reason. Oh well, at least I'm over this one already. I've got to get going now because the chemistry teacher is having a review session and we have a test on Friday (which I haven't studied for yet because I've been too tired to focus on anything for the past few weeks).

I was very happy last night. I finally started my first pen&paper RP. Some guys I know (and a few I didn't) are doing a Dungeons & Dragons RP and I joined in (they just started yesterday). I'm playing a female dwarven cleric named Diesa and my alignment is chaotic good. These guys were freakin' hilarious. They really got into it and were arguing and making jokes and it was great. The happiest 3 hours I've spent in quite awhile. My family came to visit me today and bring a few things up to me since I don't have a car here. I was so excited to see them that I forgot to even tell them everything I needed. They spent 2 hours driving here (and 2 going back right now) and I only got to see them for maybe 15-20 minutes. They came so early that I only had a few minutes before class started. I wish they had come later, or yesterday, because I really wanted to spend time with them. Instead, I just saw them for a few minutes, got a book and some shampoo and BO1 (but not any of the other stuff I forgot to ask for) and then they dropped me off at the building my class was in and they left. They said maybe they'll come up again soon, but I doubt it. Damn my brother and his goddamn schoolwork and his driving and everything! (They came today early in the morning so that my brother could drive and have time when they got home to do his homework). So now I feel even lonelier than I did before and I'm kind of depressed or melancholic (whatever, I'm not sure which one it is). I'm probably the only person in the world who listens to the "Reroute to Remain" CD to cheer up. I mean, I'm definitely not going to commit suicide, but it's scary how comforting it is to know that I have a way out if I ever wanted it. I'm way too stubborn to give up, though, so I'm seeing this through to the end (or until I die from circumstances outside of my control). The rose I got on Valentine's Day (when they were giving the extras away for free in the cafeteria) is starting to die. One of my friends said I should hang it upside down to preserve it, but I really want to see it in full bloom (it's only half-way there right now). I don't think it'll make it. I hope it will, though. I've got to go now or I'll be late for class.

Today I went and ate lunch at a pizza place with other members of the math club and also a few professors. It was really fun, but afterwards I felt a little sick to my stomach. I'm still having trouble eating too much, even though my cold is getting better. I didn't get to watch Inuyasha yesterday because I was so tired that I slept most of the evening. I'm going to watch it tonight after I finish my physical chemistry assignment. Aside from that, not much happened. I've got to go to programming class now.

After a month of the kitchen sink on my floor not working, it's finally fixed. Yay!!! There was a leak a month ago. Then they had the entire counter totally separated from the wall for a few weeks. Then they put a new counter in, but not the piping. Then some idiot on my floor filled the sink with dirty dishes. It sat there for a few days before I finally got angry and took all of the dishes out of the sink and put them on the counter. (It took a lot of resolve on my part to touch someone else's germy dishes...) Then yesterday they fixed the sink:)

I am feeling a little bit better today, but I am coughing more. I am really looking forward to watching Inuyasha now that I know it's on again. I taped last night's episode so that I could get some sleep instead of staying up to watch it. I think I'm getting well enough to really catch up on my homework, too, so that's always good.

I'm still feeling sick, but I am feeling a bit better today than I was over the weekend, so that is good. The theology professor pissed me off a bit today by basically making fun of the concept of being agnostic. I think it's far more honest to admit that you don't know something than to just pick an arbitrary thing to believe and go with that (which is what a lot of people seem to do nowadays). Not much else to report. I'm going to spend tonight catching up on the homework that I was too sick to do over the weekend.

Edit: I had a quiz in my computer programming class. I made an idiotic adding error when telling what the code would print on the screen (hopefully that won't count too much against me). I'm feeling slightly better than before, but still tired.

I just took the color quiz in Pekka's journal. I'm surprised I didn't get green, but the description for blue does sound fairly accurate in describing my personality.

BLUE
BLUES are motivated by INTIMACY, seek opportunities

to genuinely connect with others, and need to

be appreciated. They do everything with

quality and are devoted and loyal friends and

employers/employees. Whatever or whomever

they commit to are their sole (and soul)

focus. They love to serve and will give

freely of themselves in order to nurture

others lives.

BLUES, however, do need to be understood. They have

distinct preferences and occasionally the

somewhat controlling (but always fair)

personality of a confident leader. Their code

of ethics is remarkably strong and they

expect others to live honest, committed lives

as well. They enjoy sharing meaningful

moments in conversation as well as

remembering special life events (i.e.,

birthdays and anniversaries). BLUES are

dependable, thoughtful, nurturing, and can

also be self-righteous, a bit worry-prone,

and emotionally intense. They are like

sainted pit-bulls who never let go of

something once they are committed. When you

deal with a BLUE, be sincere, make an effort

to truly understand them, and truly

appreciate them.

Yay, the first week of classes is over :) So far I think I can handle everything if I put some work into it. That's always good. I can hardly wait for the Tomb Raider: Legend demo to come out (which will probably happen in the next week or two). I'm going to try to get all of my homework done this weekend, and maybe even get ahead. I'm still a little worn out from taking the compressed classes over January, but if I fall behind now I'm lost for the entire semester...

I got some errors on my transcript corrected, so now it's clear how many more classes I need to take to finish up my degree. Assuming I pass everything I'm taking right now, I officially need one more math class, two more biology classes (with labs) and a philosophy class to complete my majors. I'll have those classes done by the end of the fall semester. Over the summer I'm planning to take two history classes, which would complete a minor in history for me. If I also take two philosophy classes over the summer, and then two more next year, then I'll have a minor in philosophy too. I'm also only four classes away from a minor in computer science, which I'll go for unless one of the classes really annoys me. I was explaining all of this to one of my friends and he joked that I should just graduate a semester early and go to Helsinki to visit Pekka, which is what I really want to do, but I'm too daunted by the idea of travelling to a foreign country all alone. I need some more experience in the real world before I can go so far away from what I'm familiar with.

I am finished with classes for today :) The biology class worries me because the entire grade is based only on two exams, one at the midpoint and one as a final, so I can blow half of my grade in a single day :( In addition, the midterm exam is a few days after the last day I can drop the course without a mark on my record, so if I screw it up it's too late to abandon the course. The theology professor seems a little closer to true believer than to philosopher, so I will try to hold back my more heretical comments. There's no sense offending someone if I won't even get a good debate out of it, although I hope this guy will pleasantly surprise me. As for the programming class, it was really weird. My university is 60% female, so I'm used to seeing other girls everywhere. However, of the 15 students in the programming class, I'm the only girl. I hate feminazis who see sexism everywhere where there isn't any, but I still feel uncomfortable being the *only* girl there. Well, the professor asked a conceptual question at the end and I answered it correctly, so hopefully he'll just treat me like one of the boys :p Oh, and the gym class doesn't seem like it will be stressful at all, so that's always good. I'm going to try to do all of the work that's been assigned, and maybe even get ahead. I still haven't heard from Pekka yet. I didn't get a chance to go on MSN today because I was extremely tired and so I took a nap for longer than I was planning to (I was almost late to class). I hope he's just busy with schoolwork or something like that. On a final note, the weather here has been really dreary over the last few days. It's mildly rainy and very chilly. I wonder how long it is until the nice spring weather kicks in.

My first day of classes went well :) After tomorrow, I will have had all of my classes once, so I'll know if there's anything I should be *really* worried about. I haven't heard from Pekka in a few days, so I hope that my e-mail didn't harm him or our friendship. Now that spring semester has started, the university is full of students again and it's kind of weird after a month of relative solitude. I think I'll go look over homework or play Monkey Island a bit. I don't have anymore classes today, so there's no real reason to hang around online checking message boards. I was hoping Pekka would be on MSN, but I guess I missed him for today. Oh well. Our paths are sure to intersect sooner or later. In the meantime, I'm off to go pirating with Guybrush Threepwood :p
