you know your in cs when...

you start thinking in java, you fall asleep and you dream you're programming at your desk, how to implement a method in TicTacToe is the last thing you think of before going to bed and first thing when you wake up, and you start growing a hunch from constantly straining your neck to look up at the computer screen.


public class ACodeMonkeysNightmare {

private CSGeek emily = new CSGeek();
private University waterloo = new University();

public static void main (String[] args) {
emily.schoolTermStarts();
emily.bankBook = bankBook - 3100;
waterloo.admissions = admissions + 3100;

while (!emily.isInsane()) { //while not insane
emily.program(java);
emily.study(Stats);
emily.program(java);
emily.finish(Actsc);
emily.program(java);
emily.program(C++);
} //while

emily.selfDestruct();
}

so i've heard that i talk in my sleep... heh.. actually.. joan told me ;) something i never noticed until having a roomate. my family never noticed. *Shrugz*.. she told me that i sometimes shout out things in the middle of the night. one time i even woke myself up.

well last night joan couldn't sleep till about 3 am. she said i was tossing around and suddenly blurted out "why won't you take it off?" ...???... =P what the hell am i dreaming?? because i don't remember at all! it must be my cartilidge earing, it's been bothering me the past week... or maybe... maybe.. err.. i don't know! it can't be... err.. ya know... i'm not that kind of girl! *evil grin*

anyway, i've concluded that icq, TV and mp3's are the devil. i didn't have a great start into this school term. i've been lazier then ever. and i can feel myself slowly drowning in hot water. me, jen and joan went to the cs tutorial center just after morning class. joan had a few questions about the cs240 assignment so we waited in line to ask the tutor. the girl in front of us went up. it's a week before the assignment is due so we would assume that most questions asked would be, err.. like.. how to start?? but holy frig.. the girl was friggen DONE. she only went to ask if her assumptions on so-and-so questions and her implementation of her program were valid. and i just stood there in shock. because i had no friggen clue what she was talking about. me being the 'tard who hasn't even sat down to really look over and understand the assignment. what the hell have i been doing? wasting my time watching season finales, playoff games ( well.. those can't be a waste! c'mon! team support! ) and just plain screwing around.

i really need to get my act together 'cuz this term ain't going to be pleasant.
if this keeps up, it's gonna have to be "sayonara" to ICQ for the next little while. =(

just finished watching the season finale of ally. *sniff* i can't believe he's gone =( rob downey jr. you bum! why'd you have to go and get fired! heh i'm not upset at the fact that it is RDJ leaving. just the fact that, ... ally is lonely, ...again. today's episode really made me feel uneasy. and i know i'm not the only one. is there really someone out there that is right for you? and how will you know that they are the one? probably the number one reason why i'm so scared of relationships most of the time: when i finally do put all my trust, all my heart into a relationship, that one day they'll just leave. i don't know what i would do. i'd be so torn. that feeling that i couldn't go on. if you know me well, you'd know i am one who's extremely emotional. this sort of event would seriously take over my mind for a good while. it's scary how i can see so much of myself in ally. i don't know what it is. or maybe it's just the fact that most people could probably relate to her. not to the point where you would see dancing babies ;) but you know what i mean.

i'm such a suck for sappy stuff ;)

check out Dave's page for pics of eeyore the donkey we met at waterloo park and some other pics from the weekend! not to mention an awful pic of me looking like a beaver with a cone head with flood pants and wearing a michael jackson glove at the golf range. heh.. but hey! it was a magic glove. i was actually hitting much better with it ;)

since blogger hasn't been publishing my posts since Friday, this will probably publish three posts at one time.

something i've noticed. i think i've changed a lot during work term. it was all about 'ME' time, since a good number of my close friends were away and in school. a lot of time was spent by myself. a lot of down time, thinking, and wallowing. and when school started in May, it was a big transition . all of a sudden i'm surrounded by school friends and acquaintances 24/7 in 'Loo. i think i may have stepped on a few peoples toes without realizing it until i'm actually walking on thin ice. with all that time alone i've become more selfish, ignorant, and inconsiderate ( not that i deny that i wasn't before heh. but now it's even more so ) i don't know what's come over me. but i know that if i would like to keep this 2B school term a pleasant 4 months, i've got to start using my head more. "yong lay ga Lo, la..." i'm sorry if i nipped ya.

i've done a lot of reminiscing the past few days. just thinking back to highschool and even elementary school. a lof of interesting memories. you can stop reading now if you don't to want to bother boring yourself with my nonsense. it all started when i serving dinner at WCRi on thursday. this dude comes to get his food and he looks so familiar. well not familiar but, he had features that were very familiar to me. i checked off his name. and once again, he had a similar last name. could it be a brother? cousin? hehe.. to whom you ask? my elementary school ( kindergarten ) crush. *blush* haha.. yes.. in kindergarten. i remember one time during play time. we climbed on top of the slide platform, i'd pretend to be the ( err blind? ) princess and he was my prince! *gay yes?* and i would pretend to fall down the slide and he'd grab me and rescue me. AHahah.. c'mon.. i was only what.. 4 years old? =P anyway, we grew up in the same school until highschool and i never saw him again. he was still quite the hottie ;) looked like brandon lee. puahah.. now if only i would gather enough courage to ask him if he's related. he probably thinks i'm a freak ass since i stared at him for awhile while shoveling some nasty ass swedish meatballs on to his plate.

another thing i remember, back in elementary school. i was part of the track and field team. standing long jump. ahah.. yes as dry a sport as it is. but i actually did well in it! i got first place at this one meet and i got a blue ribbon! yay! but no standing on podiums or anything, that was for the big birchmount meets. and there, i met bertha. HAHa. ok ok, so her name wasn't bertha, but she seemed gigantore. well anyone was gigantore to me since i was, what, 4 feet tall? anyway. i got second place =( cause of bertha but even second place deserves to stand on the big podium where everyone cheered for you when they called your name. something that i could only dream of at 9 years old like i was a superstar in front of my fans. sadly, my 15 secs of glory was distinguished due to rain. *sniff* and i was given my crappy 2nd place ribbon when i returned to school.

frig.. i lost my post AGAIN!... that's TWO nights in a row.

anyway. it was my first weekend up in the 'Loo. and surprisingly it turned out to be pretty awesome. it was all about getting back to basics. something i never did much of back in Scarlem since i was such a city girl. you know, the usual hang outs: bbt, cafes, arcades, pool halls, etc...

after the amazing raptor game on friday night ( aha in yo face iverson ;) ) vince with 50 pts and 9 consecutive three pointers! friggen B-U-T-ful =P after the game we had absolutely nothing to do. ( i.e. no booze ) so we went for a walk. me, oliver, annie, park, keith, and dave. it was a looooong walk ending up in front of the kegger pryamid all the way at erb. our little journey started at the petting zoo at waterloo park. dave giving us the tour. we saw a hungry donkey scrummaging the ground for food. like excited children, we fetched grass and hurried back to the fence to feed it. we named him eeyore. walking further, we came across a small little park by a lake. who would have thought rock throwing competitions, swinging on giant saucer swings, and sitting on the docks staring off into the lake would pass the time so quickly. hitting erb, we turned back. jumping from board to board on the railroad tracks singing stand by me. scaring a deer who couldn't hold his bladder. and being stopped by two cop cars. haha. what a way to end the night. but it was good. this whole weekend was good. not a thought of school or worries entered my mind. i haven't had this much fun in awhile ( sad huh? ) thanx dudes ;)

frig, i just lost my post! Arg!!

haven't posted in awhile. and nothing much has really happened. just the daily routine of work school work school and occasional 3 hour naps during the day ;) well, it's my first weekend up here in the 'Loo, and still without ADSL. i can feel the boredom already. haha.. well, sort of got my weekend planned. watch the philly vs raps game tonite. watch some bootleg VCD's. take a field trip with the girls to Conestoga and do some shopping tomoro. drop by Dooly's and whoop some butt. puaha. and maybe hit up the courts and hit around some balls. and err.. maybe squeeze in some work there? ;)

been getting into lots of late night chats with joan lately. and this is one topic that seems to come up very often. ever notice the guys in CS? or maybe even the girls in Eng? notice something? haha. i don't know what it is. but i swear that the guys in CS are so sucked into their work and computer games that they don't even notice girls. except for the occasional 'uglydude' with staring probs, eh girls? frig i swear i'm gonna give him the death stare one of these days! gonna need some help, park. haha. then again, getting them to notice us isn't the major problem. the guys aren't exactly, well, eye candy. you would think with a guy to girl ratio of of 5 to 1, there would be atleast one alrite looking, and normal, dude. ( and believe me, our standards in 'Loo have been lowered considerably already ) now Eng guys. heh. intelligent, but still know how to have fun =P the guys in CS are so much geekier for some reason ( which is odd since, well, aren't engineers smarter?? ) but then again, haha, their girls are.. heh.. well, let's just say you would have to second guess if they are really female or not.

that's me stuffing my face with some damn good chocolate oreo ice cream *droooool* and.. err.. i dunno what happened to Oliver's face ^^ haha sorry!
and matt, looking goofy as always ;)

Monday, May 07, 2001

highlight of the day: jen, joan and i had night class which consisted of listening to monks chanting and 16th century madrigals about a girl named phillis who ran off and was missing and then came back for kissing.. and another about pigs getting scared off by sex. after class ended, we walked by the DC windows and saw 2 guys scratching their arm pits.

SUCK IT KNICKS SUCK IT!!!!!!
( game recap )JYD BABY!

aww yea.. bring on philly

it was real close game. was sooooo "gun jeung". the knicks caught up within 2 pts with about 2 min left and we were going nuts! funny how they brought on the bench warmers who had fouls to give in the last seconds of the 4th ( sort of like what yogi does when our star players get in foul trouble. haha. ) we were like, "who dat??". funny how some girls bother to come out to the sports bar to watch the game when they just sit there not having a clue what's going on or could care less while us monkies go buck wild. ahh well..

frig.. i'm never gonna get any work done with the leafs and raps still in the playoffs.

Thursday, May 03, 2001

a week of school has passed. you don't know how damn boring it is here. but we should enjoy this time while we can. it's gonna be a damn killer term. and it only gets worse from here. 2 and half more years left of this crap. all this for what? a piece of paper? i dunno. there was this dude i met at my company during work term. he's pretty much got it set. programming is his life. he will probably be making more money then i ever will. and he has never stepped foot in university. and the state that the economy is in right now is not helping reassure me either. i am really freaked out about not being placed in september. sure i am in 2nd year. but, i really don't have any real programming experience, so who the hell is going to hire me? and a resume can only get me so far, it all comes down to the interview. and boy do i suck ass when i'm sitting in the hot seat. i turn bright hot red and i stutter more than "sai sai lup". friggen what am i good for. i have no ambition. no motivation. i wish i was smarter. i wish... i wish smart people could transfer knowledge through the palms of their hands into my head like those whack chinese kungfu movies so i would never have to study this crap again.

Tuesday, May 01, 2001

well.. i'm all settled in. telling you, moving my crap up 3 flights of stairs in this weather is friggen tiring. today was the first day of classes. i am pretty lost compared to most of my cs friends. i don't even know what classes i have and in which rooms. i just follow joan, jen and age because i know our schedules are the same. and today, i spent an hour in acsci221 thinking it was stats230. it was 9:30 am, an hour had passed and i was wondering what the frig was the prof still talking for? it's time to go! stupid me. and i almost left all my newly bought text books behind in a class room. And i forgot my wat card at south campus hall. not a great way to start the school term ;) not to mention the friggen stank air of waterloo.

friggen so pissed. watched the leafs game ( aww yea.. my room is next to the kitchen and tv room this term. i get first dibs. puahah ) that was absolutely an awful way to lose. in OT too. the goal was off of our OWN player!! friggen guy tried to deflect it away and it ends up shooting into our own net. disgusting.

another thing that's disgusting. i'm using dial up now. HAHA.. i don't even have my computer up in Loo yet. using joans labtop. anyway. i'm out. another 8:30 class tomoro *yawn* ZzZzz
