9:26 AM Friday, October 2, 1998
The car's ready, or at least, will be tonight. All that's left is the alignment. So I'm going home again, bus train and get the automobile to get back. This definitely makes things a bit easier now.
4:00 PM Saturday, October 3, 1998
Alright, today I do some programming, really. got to learn debugging and compiling all from an emacs window. oh, and an internet client too, and maybe some exercises for AI. Which one gets to be first?
11:00 PM Sunday, October 4, 1998
No programming accomplished. NetBSD installed on a IIsi. Lots of Ultimate played. The car's back. My musings will be the subject of two newpaper articles. I still haven't done any homework. Big week ahead: first substantial programming assignments, intern presentation on Thursday, Club Regionals this weekend, also my first exam in History on Friday.
11:33 PM Tuesday, October 6, 1998
Alright, well OS is out of the way for the week, with an internet client,and maybe some reading for tonight. Godzilla practice was cancelled, which I didn't find out until I got there. I also bruised my right kneecap.I'm icing it right now.
8:00 PM Wednesday, October 7, 1998
So this page and my musings were featured in the Daily Northwestern Focus section today. So welcome to all the new readers. Today I skipped out on Vomit Monkey running and Godzilla practice to rest my bruised knee. Currently I'm working on an assignment for my C95 Building Internet Systemsclass which is due at Midnight.
11:57 PM Thursday, October 8, 1998
Well, the week is almost done. All that's left is an exam, some Lisp coding, and Regionals. I watched Some Kind of Wonderful after classtoday. It's a good movie, like an 80's version of Trojan War. I had macaroni and cheese for dinner, and watched some more cable, and tried to get some AI homework done tonight.
12:00 AM Saturday, October 10, 1998
Too bad it's already over. So this week is almost over, just an ultimate tourney left. Karl and I went grocery shopping today, finally. And I went to some party instead of going to bed. Such is college life.
12:18 AM Saturday, October 10, 1998
The tourney tomorrow is in Naperville, about an hour from e-town. For anyone without anything to do, come out and watch some good ultimate, the best in the region, fight it out at the Naperville Polo fields right off 59 on 119th.
5:10 PM Sunday, October 11, 1998
Well, Godzilla ended yesterday. Now I can concentrate on the NU team. I got about 11 hours of sleep last night, hopefully I've caught up to mylack of sleep. Now it's another week, and more classes and homework.
4:22 PM Monday, October 12, 1998
I was looking to get garbage bags and order another bookshelf for my room after class today, but didn't. Osco didn't have the bag size we need and Affordable portables didn't have the bookshelf I'm looking for. And then I was supposed to do some C25 Lisp exercises, but got Apache running under NetBSD instead. At least I didn't watch any cable.
11:18 PM Monday, October 12, 1998
Watching cable right now, my first episode of Sliders since it was on Fox.And I think it'll be my last. There was an MSCL marathon on earlier. But we had guests and entertained instead.
1:25 PM Tuesday, October 13, 1998
Tuesdays are now dress up days for me. Today was grey slacks, black dress shoes, white dress shirt, tie and blue sweater vest.
1:00 AM Thursday, October 15, 1998
So much for easy assignments. Taking three CS classes is now starting to seem like a bad idea. And it's not even project time. I handed in my first incomplete assignment in programming, late no less. There's another due in a week, and an OS assignment due a week from today. I'm going to Ann Arbor this weekend for an Ultimate tourney, and it's difficult trying to get hotel rooms for the team to stay at.
1:48 AM Friday, October 16, 1998
Of all the things I do here at NU, school isn't one of them. I took the night off tonight, after a long ultimate practice, ate dinner, watched cable, did the dishes. Leaving tomorrow for University of Michigan for an ultimate tourney, won't return until Sunday.
9:10 AM Monday, October 19, 1998
Well, I ran into an air conditioner Saturday morning and my knee subsequently swelled up. It's just a bruise, but it prevented me from playing Sunday. Other than that, the tourney went alright. I've got to go into work this evening, after I cook, errr, warm up dinner.
11:36 PM Monday, October 19, 1998
Grocery shopping tonight. Not many food stuffs, more supplies than anything. Jello really. And an ice pick. Didn't go into work tonight, going to Schaumberg tomorrow afternoon. Musings were mentioned in the Globe online yesterday. Need to set up a time to get a haircut.
8:46 PM Tuesday, October 20, 1998
Another dress up day, this time I went academic with earth tones and a sweater vest and jacket. I didn't go into work today, planning on next week instead. Still have lots to do, but watched The Spanish Prisoner this afternoon and part of Volcano. And of course, watched Felicity.
4:25 PM Wednesday, October 21, 1998
Instead of pulling an all nighter working on an assigment I should have started a week ago, I'll spend the next three days working on it. Gotta love extensions. I've got an appointment for a haircut tomorrow, at Jay's.Maybe someday I'll even get my hair cut by Jay.
7:27 PM Wednesday, October 21, 1998
Karl, Matt, and I are going to see Ronin tonight at 9:45pm at the Old Orchard Theaters. Without a real assignment due tomorrow, I just keep on slacking.
10:17 PM Thursday, October 22, 1998
At ultimate practice today, I worked on hucking; forehand, backhand, mostlyforehand today. I'm going to be sore tomorrow. Going to try and get 8 hours of sleep tonight, in preparation for a long day tomorrow.
6:00 PM Friday, October 23, 1998
I'm programming all sorts of interesting things for OS. Right now I've got 17 hours left before it's got to be handed in. Plenty of time. I've got Apple Demo Days tomorrow from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM at CompUSA in Skokie tomorrow. And I need to do some things for work tomorrow.
10:39 PM Sunday, October 25, 1998
Went out for dinner at Omegas and a walk on the beach up near Bah'ai with a certain someone Saturdaynight. It went well, I thought.
10:41 PM Sunday, October 25, 1998
Now it's my turn with 3 midterms, OS on Tuesday, BIS on Wednesday, History on Friday, along with a BIS assignment due Friday. Oh, and I can't slack on the sleep since I'll be driving to Ohio this weekend. It's going to make for an interesting week.
12:00 AM Tuesday, October 27, 1998
Well, in what may have been a second date (accidental but official enough)with that certain someone, Ted and I doubled in a Northwestern Date, studying at Kafein.
12:10 AM Tuesday, October 27, 1998
Today after lunch I'll be heading to Schaumberg to do some dial up work and maybe some shopping at Woodfield. I'm hoping to come back with a seltzer bottle. Also tomorrow is a Sam's Club run to follow up the groceryrun last night.
11:42 PM Tuesday, October 27, 1998
Well, the Sam's club run was completed. Ridge Warren now has plenty of butter, bacon, and hand soap. No laundry was done tonight either. Other things had preoccupied me.
1:18 PM Wednesday, October 28, 1998
Dropped my first class at NU today. I'm no longer enrolled in C25 AI programming. That frees up time for 2 hour lunches at Saga.
12:29 AM Thursday, October 29, 1998
I now have clean clothes, although my socks just will never be white again.I've now only got one midterm left, and an assignment due Friday. There's also the Job Fair tomorrow night at the Omni Orrington. So it would be nice to have a resume to hand out to future employers. Oh well.
11:20 PM Thursday, October 29, 1998
After a very wet ultimate practice with the women, and a little work with the guys, I went home after getting soaked by a downpour. I then went intothe Omni for the job fair and walked around amazed by the meat market of college grads, or soon to be college grads. Amazing.
