Today has reminded me that just when it seems like everything is all set... the whole world turns around on you. And of course it seems to know that if there is one thing that will eventually get to me, its waiting for people and today has been like that. So so summarize:

* Indiana weather yet again... why does it have to drop to single digits that day I want to leave?
* Group meeting at 11am...the absolute perfect wrong time, can't start anything before it (especially laundry cause it would finish half way through)
* Battery Charger borrowed by ARC...wait in the lab for 20 minutes the dude never shows to return it.
* A guy borrowed a screw driver from me about a week and half ago, I'm packing and I want it back.
* Somebody parked (where they aren't suposed to) in the only exit from the area behind the myers labs so I had to drive over a curb to get around him (in my bug no less)

I wonder what else is in store?

Ah yes another long time between posts. Of course I haven't been allowed to do all that much cogitating, mostly just survive and get all requirements full-filled. Now that the last day of school is over I've been sorting through all my stuff deciding what I want and what I don't (the mass of useless papers is fairly enormous after 4 years). I've found it interesting to read back threw my notes, old tests, and homework; to see what work I truely did back then and remembering how much work it seemed to me and to look at how low the scores were, now I wouldn't put in half as much effort as I did then and I would definatly expect better grades (because I would expect myself to get the right answer of course). These sorts of expectations of oneself I would have never guessed that they would be possible for me to develop.

Another note it would be so much nicer if nobody ever commited crimes, after this stink at rose about the two stolen projectors everybody's lives here will change, everybody will have to treated as a suspect and even more cameras will have to go up and rose will have to spend more money on security personel. I still am of the opinion that rose should start doing mandatory admission interviews , preferably three: admissions, department, and a student. If rose is to be number one we need to be more responsable about whom we place our reputation in the hands of.

The longer I'm at rose the most I'm conviced that had I had motovation I would have the gpa that everybody thinks I am.... (its kind of odd when talk to people and they say...oh but you have a high gpa..and their shock when mine is way lower)...This overwhelming finality of graduation is looming on the horizon for me and giving that final energy required to finish everything up... Another thing that has been strange of late is the number of people that come to me on help on anything at all, so who knows what people are talking about. Basically I don't feel any different, so is there actually a difference in me or are people less than what I thought they were? It'll be nice when all this is over.
