Well, here I am, living in an apartment now. The manor is currently occupied by the CWI company, who we will be evicting shortly. After that, eh, will probably move to the manor. Nice way to end the semester anyway.



For anyone that cares, my current classes can be found on the info page. I'm vaguely considering switching majors, still. Feel free to contact me with any encoraging or discouraging remarks, or give me helpful suggestions.



Well, I've initiated into Triangle, for those of you that knew I was a pledge in the first place (read down a few entries). Go me, huh? I've been selected for the Rush Committe and the current Rush Chair, Br. Andy Hafner and a few of the other brothers have decided that his job is mine when his term is up in one year. Not that I got any input on this at all. So now they're "grooming me for the job" (ie: putting me on the Rush Committe so I'm obligated to do as much as I can for Rush). I've also managed to get myself proclaimed webmaster of the OKTriangle.org site by President Aldridge. Its a job that I hope I'm up for, but only time will be able to say. Currently I can't even get into the site because the ftp account name and password I was given seem to be incorrect and, additionally, the site is down right now.



Oh well, more as things happen. Have fun, now.

Well, so, here it is. What is becomming my once a month update. Today, although I use that term loosely, because I've not gone to sleep yet, and its only 12:07am as I type this, is Friday. The Friday of the last week of classes. I have two classes to go to tomorrow at 8:30 and 11:30, Calc 2 and Intro to Programming, respectivly. Right now I'm trying to 'procrastinate constructivly' by doing something else that is semi-constructive as opposed to the 30 questions worth of calculus homework/quiz I should be doing.

I've gotten out of my housing contract with OU, suckers. I'll be "living with my parents in Oklahoma City" next semester. In reality I will be living less than two blocks from campus in Kirkpatrick Manor, what is soon to become the Triangle House. I will be one of 12 brothers living there in its first official semester as our house, which kicks some ass.

I really don't want to do that Calculus....

I had to reinstall my operating system (Win XP, Pro) yesterday, that blew more goats than I can really explain. Most of the programs I have installed have had to be reinstalled. Major annoyance. I'm going to be backing up everything on my computer onto my 1337 thing durring the break and formatting my harddrive. It needs it.

Geh, that 30 questions of Calc is -really- looming over my head...

I still have school next week. Amazing, no? Finals all week. Luckly I only have them Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I'll have Tuesday and Thursday to attempt to make a C on the other finals. Then, after my Friday the 20th, 7:30pm Intro to Programming final, I'm out, and my first semester will be over. Thank God, if he should happen to exist.

I should get started on that homework/quiz now... I really don't want to, but if I don't start now I won't get any sleep. Sleep is something I've not been getting enough of recently, so I need it quite badly.

Before everything, I'm curious who actually reads this crap anyway, so if you do, tell me some time. I'd like to know if I should even bother.

I really don't update this very often, do I?

Ah well...

Well, things have happened, nothing major. I had a major reevaluation of why I'm doing what I'm doing, and after entertaining the idea of changing majors, I think I won't. I still need to declare a math minor and I think also an astronomy minor. I've always like astronomy, and I don't mind physics, so why the hell not, right?

In other news, next week is thanksgiving break, well, after tuesday anyway. I'll be glad to give the whole college thing a break for a while. I need to take my Housing form home this weekend so I can turn it in before the break, if I want to live in the Manor next semester, which I do.

I had a run-in with another biker today, we both swerved the same direction to avoid hitting each other, and I took a handle bar to the ribs... It hurts, but not as much as it could hurt.

I need to go to sleep earlier than I have been. I can't wake up early enough for my early classes at this rate, which is bad.

I hate Dr. Prezbinda.

	I changed the email page to the info page. It has my course schedual and what I've done (not much). Also updated the other pages to reflect that change. Procrastinating constructivly.
	Triangle has won its court battle with the City of Norman concerning the Manor. The house is awesome, so are we. Everyone is very happy. Many of us hope to move in come January. Its a big huge wonderful house that is closer to most of the buildings I go to class in than the dorms are. Plus I'd be living there with Triangle people, I mean, does it get any better?
	My birthday is sunday (the 20th). w00t. I'll be 19.

Hi there.

How are things?

Thats good.

Me? Oh, well, things are going on, you know? Its amazing what you hear if you just leave the door to your dorm open. I won't repeat most of it here, but it ended with "Fuck that, who'dyou think I am? Jesus? I can do this, call me at 12:30." I think he's going to break up with his girlfriend or something. Whatever.

I've gotta get up in about 7 hours for my Calc class, not real worried about that so far. So instead of doing any of the more rational or intelligent things, I'm gonna type here for a while, mostly because I haven't.

Did you know I'm pledging a fraternity? Yes, me. "What fraternity would take me?" you ask? The only one I'd ever consider joining. Triangle. I was introduced to this unique brotherhood of scientists and engineers through Corey Ulmer, who those of you who went to PCN may remember. Via Triangle I've been able to carve myself a little niche of belonging on this big, big campus. Additionally I've met some pretty neat people. One of my pledge-brothers-to-be has introduced me to the alarmingly addicting game Unreal Tournament which I've spent many hours playing this weekend. I regret that the amount of time I'm spending with the brothers of Triangle is detracting from the time I spend with my other friends on campus, all of which I tried to pull into this with me. I failed, oh well, maybe they'll see the light in the spring.

I really wish the people down the hall'd be less... uhmmm... themselves, and more someone else. Have you ever heard of a SEP field? I need one, I'd place it at the front of the hall.

Anyway, good tidings and farewell. I am easy to contact, if you so feel the need.

I got the archives to work! Why it needs colspan="1" defined for it, I do not know.

The first week of my college education is now complete. College both is, and is not, what I expected. It is a chance to be independant, it is a challenge, it is not completely populated by drunken party girls and football players, it is not a place conducive to reminding me to eat.

Bright side of things is that I have a lot of free time, most of which I should be spending on more academic pursuits, which will happen, I swear. I've also met some neat folks out of Triangle, a fraternity for Engineers, Scientists and Architects.

Note: Wireless Ethernet cards are a sign that God loves us and wants us all to have fun.

Well, I've made my first journey home from college. I'm sitting around the house, and I have nothing to do. I told the kids at work that I wouldn't be in today, then I called back again and told them I wouldn't be in tomorrow either, and that I didn't expect to be back in the rest of the season. School is far more busytime than I expected, and it hasn't even started yet. I think to myself, if its this bad now, its gonna be helloneathohmygodlooktheresdevilhedoesn'tlooksobadexceptforthefangsandfireandbrimstoneandstuff bad. So, result? I've decided to quit the work thing, which is like a 45 minute drive from campus. I don't care about working enough to keep going with it.

In other news the entity known as Jameson has declared one of his personas, Dravis, the High Prest of Ferg, and has created a religion around that alter ego of myself. The Book of Ferg can be found here.
