still ALMOST the end
May. 3rd, 2002 04:29 am4 tickets for Mogwai in Louisville are now in my posession...
i was up all night tuesday, mostly procrastinating but towards the end as daylight was appearing i started on my dynamical systems take-home final...of course i didn't get all of it done and i'm sure a good amount of what i did get done was pretty fucking far-off from correct...but it's something...i managed to get it up to the school before noon so it was on time...woo...hoo...
and speaking of procrastination the past few nights, i've developed an addiction to internet checkers...i wish i had it on my computer...but maybe then i'd be too unproductve...going downstairs to my parents' computer can be bad enough...
after turning the exam in i went home and slept 'til night, turning my sleeping schedule around...it took me a while, of course, to really get started on my project...before that i did make a tape of The Family Ghost's second show for Paul so he can have something to listen to to learn Keith's old parts...and while i was doing that i managed to figure out most of Keith's guitar parts...rock and roll...
then as the hour finally started bearing down on me, i got to work on my project...my paper is pretty much a big mass of schlock...didn't have much time to organize my thoughts of anything so it's poorly written and all just slopped down into the word processor...but it's done...short and really lacking a lot of things we're supposed to have, but done...it's also pretty bad how much of it's just based on speculation, very thinly researched and very thinly worked-out proof-wise...ah well...then at the VERY last minute i went to my parents' computer to slop something together in power point for the presentation...but what's this? my parents' computer does not have power point as i had thought...i figured it out later, their OLD computer had power point but the new one, for some reason, did not come w/ it...bollocks...so as it was pretty much time to head out to school i decided i'd just be like "oops, i forgot to bring it" and hopefully just do it w/out...
so i get there a bit early...like half-an-hour...for some reason i had expected him to already be there...but i think he even showed up after 8am (scheduled exam time)...so i sat through a bunch of other ppl giving their presentations...dear god it was torture WATCHING it even...it was like fucking boot camp in there...academic torture...he just fucking rips whoever's up there APART w/ questions...he'll stop it and go over and over on something and you can't even look up at the presentor it hurts so much...the man is evil...there was one guy who's presentation just blew me away w/ how well it was done...the power point crap he had done was beyond effort-drenched...and his stuff was so detailed and in-depth and all these complex systems of equations were worked out and Dr. Garzon STILL ripped him apart...like he had done some terrible job, and it was over this one aspect and.........dear god...but 11am rolled around (3 hrs later) and still he hadn't gotten around to everyone and he had a meeting to go to...i think maybe this had something to do w/ the fact that he spent like 20 fucking minutes "asking questions" after and durring everyone's presentation...ugh...so it turns out i was "saved by the bell" (watch out, Slater)...he said everyone who didn't get to go can come in "tomorrow at 11am"...so now i actually have time to throw together a power point presentation...so i guess soon i'll be heading up to the library to throw something together...(hopefully it's open now...it is the day after the last day of exams...i do have 6.5 hrs so hopefully i can get something worked out...)
after that long ordeal i went home to nap before door hanging...just after i woke up i got a call from Richard at working saying it wasn't happening (obviously because of the weather that was a'brewin'...i was actually just about to call and ask if it might not be happening for said reason...) so i was saved again, i guess...i went back to sleep so i wouldn't just be DEAD for my 5:30 final in real analysis...
i wasn't quite DEAD for the exam, but once again, i hadn't studied and really had no clue as to what was going on in there...i managed to attempt a few problems this time, but of course it was all VERY wrong...mostly i just sat there staring at my paper/into space...pretty bad...my family had gone out to dinner tonight for my sister's birthday, but i was taking the exam...i went home after that and went to sleep again...i woke up like an hour ago...hopefully i can get this fucking presentation shit done...
my car's supposed to be ready today...hopefully i'll be able to get a ride down to Helena, AR after my presentation to pick it up so i can fucking make it to work tonight...hopefully i won't be too dead tonight if i make it...
