holy scheisse. i thought i had things under control...i really really did. i thought i would get a lot done yesterday. i thought the design i had been thinking on what right. and now i realize there are kinks and other criteria i just didn't know because of a blatant misinterpretation on my part. so now i'm set back by about 2 days and i wanted to have this done by today so i could actually work on the stuff that's worth 2 or 3x what this assignment is worth right now. problem is...if i don't get this assignment working, i get ridiculed in code review and my next 3 assignments (relies on this one) is shot.

stressed and needed to vent.

now...to go get my act together and pull together some decent code... :(

Forgot to share with you all this funny incident comprised of a couple small conversations between me and two people throughout the day:

(Synopsized version)

person A (in a mass email): rumour has it the values on this assignment are x instead of y. i checked it out and it's true. refer to these pages on why.

me (responds to email): wow, thanks person A!

me (to person B): oh hey, did you account for these values? it should be x instead of y. I just found out.

person B: oh crap. thanks to whoever found that out and told people.

me: yeah seriously. the class owes that person a beer or something.

*~~~later~~~*

person A (responds to email): hey, i thought you started that rumour.

me (in email): i DID?!

person A (in email): yeah, I CCed you so you would confirm it.


lol -- soooo, weird story short...thanks to whoever I just stole credit from. I still owe you a beer.

I got laughed at yesterday when i told someone i pulled a muscle without even exercising...and it's true! i'm semi-limping because of this stupid muscle and i don't understand why. all i've been doing this week is sitting to work/eat and/or sleeping to get rid of this cold....nargh.

and now for something completely different.

looking for volunteers to do my assignments. takers? :)

Yesterday morning I spent some time engrossed in the groundhog watch, awaiting news of soon-to-come spring. For once, they actually said SPRING! :) So that was some good news.

The bad news is just that there's a lot to be done in school and such. I got sick over the weekend and so I did my sick shift (i.e. was in bed for about 15-20 hours per day for a couple days)...then had to get my act together and get work done. That led to me starting to do naps (i.e. 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 0.5 hours) instead of a recognizable 8 hours or such. haha kind of offsets the get-well-soon aspect but so far i'm still kicking :) The downer is that i've taken myself off coffee due to illness. nargh. I'll figure out a way to get it back into the system though -- don't you worry.

Another thing of note is that I bought a movie, thanks to V for pointing out the sale and free shipping on it :) I'm a soon-to-be proud owner of "When Harry Met Sally", a chick flick i've heard good things about.

Come to think of it, this is a really boring post...haha and I sound so downbeat about everything! Probably the ill-equipped immune system doing its thing :) On the upswing though, i had an absolutely amazing weekend due to excellent company. ;)

Tell you where you need to go
Tell you when you'll need to leave
Tell you what you need to know
Tell you who you need to be

But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries

Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be near You.

What everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take
