The most annoying thing ever...

...is when you're sitting at a computer, trying to get work done, and you notice you're getting really sleepy to the point of nodding off, then walking back to your room and climbing into bed only to find you're now completely awake. This happens to me far too often, and it drives me nuts. I mean, it's not like I can get up and get back to work; first off, the Linux lab (where I do my work) is on the other side of the campus; walking back and forth like that would waste a lot of time. But there's no way I'm going to get to sleep like that. Usually when that happens I end up just laying in bed for an hour or two trying to fall asleep from boredom or playing video games for a bit. It makes keeping a standard sleeping cycle really difficult.

So, an observant reader might notice the "Working Title" link added to my links section. That would be another blog I've made. That will be focused on gaming, for now at least. Thanks to some stupidity with the way Blogger and Google are connected, it'll be easier for me to log in to post in that one, so I might just switch to it entirely.

So, things are going pretty okay for me. The economics class I'm taking it absurdly easy thus far, and I've little doubt that'll go well. Algorithms will be difficult but nothing I can't handle I think. I'm not sure with Survey of Programming languages yet; we still haven't gotten any grades yet. Lastly, the freehand drawing class... I'm not going to enjoy it, but I think I can do well enough to pass.

I am semi-gainfully employed now, developing new robots for students in the robotics course. Essentially, I come to the lab in the mornings with some sort of goal given to me, and then the professor leaves and I get to building things with legos. It's awesome. I don't know for certain how the pay is going to be yet; there's a lot of red tape I'm battling through there. Once I know, I might ask about more hours. A modified version of my first design is being used right now, so we'll see how it does. I may have mentioned this before, but the professor I'm doing this work for will be writing a robotics textbook next fall, and there is a high probability of my designs being used in it. This possibility is incredibly awesome.

My senior project is also going well. Just tonight, I came up here having allocated three hours to pound at this thing. In 45 minutes, I had gotten everything I set out to do done, and in the process completed tasks I hadn't even intended to be working on. Tomorrow I need to talk to my advisor about the next step, but things are going along quite well.

And well... Really, that's it. Talmirah has slowed down a lot, but I'm not surprised by that. Kinda wondering what happened to Alesch, but other than that I figure it's just people getting back to school or work (but mostly school). I don't really have a lot else going on. I've been playing God of War II lately. It's awesome. Uh... Other than that I eat, sleep, work, and bullshit on the internet. So it goes.

And I'm out of things to say. Publish post!
