I’ve gotten all my tests back except for statistics – an A, a B, and a C. Watch statistics be a D. I ate a bunch of figs last night. I regretted that this morning. I received my research topic this morning for one of my classes: What does the term “down to brass tacks” mean and where did it originally come from? I might work on that this weekend. This probably shouldn’t be true, but as someone majoring in information systems, I really hate programming – of any type. It’s not even that I can’t do it; I can, but it’s so dull and tedious. I hated Java in high school and while C++ isn’t so great in college either, it’s not as bad. Why we’re even being taught using C++ is a different matter. I don’t really have much to do today except fix a logic error in last night’s program and talk to my “ethics” teacher about why I made a C on my reaction paper with the only comment being “largely unclear and incoherent.” Figure that one out. Hint: English isn’t his first language. I had to wear a jacket this morning because it was actually cold. This is good.

Update: Made an A on my statistics test :D

I do not look forward to writing this paper for my ethics class. The length requirement isn’t long, but it’s going to take a lot of rambling to fill it up. I’m finished being sick, finally. Luckily, it wasn’t anything serious. The only real odious task for this week was cleaning out Mossby and Trigby’s tank, which I did this morning. It was disgusting, to say the least. Their water was cloudy and smelled awful. Mossby has been proudly sitting on top of the rock this afternoon. I don’t know why. Watching Trigby eat three whole grasshoppers this past week was hilarious. Mossby was supposed to get two of them, but that didn’t work out…unsurprisingly. I watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time yesterday.

It was pretty good and there weren’t any boring moments. The next one up on my list to watch is Perfect Blue. I have no idea what it’s about, but I hope it’s good. Also, it’s been a long time and the Debian installer is still broken. The root password and users set at installation are not actually saved and network manager is broken. The last time I used it (couple weeks ago), it didn’t detect any of my network hardware even though it was recognized by the kernel. Both of these problems have been reported, but nothing much is really being done about them. I’d like to switch back to Squeeze, but I can’t until this is fixed.

I really hope I’m not getting sick because I’ll be pissed off. I’ve been fine at school for the past couple of weeks. I’m at home for the labor day weekend and on the way here, I started to get congested as the pressure changed. My nose is running and my head just hurts. My throat feels a little itchy, too. I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow feeling like completely crap. I’m going to have the ring in my tragus replaced with a stud because it’s taking too long to heal and a stud will speed things up. I just wasted two hours trying to fix a stupid HP printer. I wasn’t able to fix it for whatever the reason may be so I’m going to call and ask for a replacement tomorrow.

I don’t have much work to do this weekend. As far as I know, I just have the usual reading to do and some statistics problems to work on. I think my biggest task this weekend is getting my laundry done.
