To those of you who knew me the last couple of semesters, you know that I didn't eat because of homework and school and other stuff. Well, it's happened again. I find myself either the computer lab, the physics lab, or the math lab (that's a lot of labs). While my mind is having a banquet with all sorts of yummy delights, my stomach is not getting hardly anything except for a bowl of great tasting Special K w/ Red Berries in the morning. But different than last time, I've replaced my frozen pizzas with peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. Outside of this, there's not much that gets to my stomach. I am playing soccer again, which I'm happy to say. But I've not been as frequent to the DDR machine, which I don't like.
And I LOST MY PHYSICS BOOK !!!!!!!!!! This I'm not enthused about. If anyone has any information that will lead to the reuniting of me and my Physics book, please call the local authorities or call me. All information will be kept confidential and there may be a reward for it's safe return. If there be any guilty parties involved in the missing of my Physics book, they will be severly beaten, bound, gagged, and forced to watch Pauly Shore movies, mainly BioDome, until they are on the verge of schizophrenia or indigestion. So if you took my Physics book, you're in big trouble!!!!

So there is my semester in a nutshell thus far. As for the summer, that remains to be seen.

Have a good week!!!

THIS is another reason why I don't get sick or take medication. So far, it's been working well.

I met her last semester....the One. The One whom I would marry and live happily ever after. The One to who I could tell anything or do anything with. The One who is smart, cute, patient, helpful, creative, etc.... The One who is Dapper in both dress and speech. The One that would help me become a fine, upstanding member of the community in which I live. The One who would put up with my shenanigans, roll her eyes, let out an amused laugh, and then say something like, "Oh, Jay." The One who, on many, many occasions, has helped me with my homework when I was at a loss. This One I met in the Math Lab, of all places. She was the one who I would hope would come over when I had a question. She would point out the error and correct it with ease. She was the one who I would hope would win the 'TA of the week' every week. She, who is the embodiment of all that is cool. I thought my search was over, for I had found her.

But, alas, she is already married. (crying) Why !?! Why couldn't I have met her eariler ?!? Why couldn't I have taken Calculus eariler ?!? Why couldn't I have been the one to marry her !?! Why, oh, why ?!?!?!?!? (/crying)

Now I can only see her in the Math Lab and in my CS class. All I am now is a single loser who has a crush on a married girl. I'm forced to continue my search in the lone and dreary world. At least I have DDR and my soccer ball.

It's finally come back to haunt me !

Throughout the HS years, I've had my group of guy friends that I always hung around with. This was the same group that I went to class with, played soccer with, fought with, and created mischief and havok with. But there were also friends of mine with whom I would frequently hang out and do stuff with. Since that time I've mostly hung out with the female of the species and that suited me just fine. I could handle the girl talk, the chick flicks, the learning about the difference between being a winter and an autumn, and the like.
But I think it's finally come to kick me in the tail.
As I was doing my bi-monthly grocery shopping at the local Macy's minding my own business, a lady walked around the corner and into the aisle I was in. The first thing I noticed was her make up and how wretched a job it was. Now mind you, I'm a straight, Returned Missionary, homophob who would rather see a Vampire blood bath, kill-them-all action movie than go dress shopping or shave my legs, but I was thinking very distinctly that I could have done a better job applying her make up. When I finally caught myself thinking this, I had to laugh and deduce that it was because of all the time I have spent in the presence of my friends who are girls and their teaching me the ways of the girl.
I hope that I haven't any permanent damage on my psychie.

BYU has given me yet another reason to want to transfer/ quit school. This semester began like every other semester, finding classrooms, fighting bookstore crowds, establishing your seat in class, etc. All of this is tolerable and expected. BUT, I have the haunting feeling that BYU is out to make my existance a horrible one. In my CS class we were given the task of finding a PIN and being able to log on to lab computers to do assignments. This was all well and good and I was pretty excited to have access to a lab computer, which has a faster connection that the Villa. (tangent) I did a test on the computer that is in my room and found out that the connection there is only 73.7K when I'm suppose to be getting 100K. If I'm paying $10 for 100K, well then, dammit, I Want my 100K!!! (/tangent)
Well, the first couple days of having access to a lab computer, I did just what any one would have done in my shoes, I started watching music videos. It was so wonderful not having to worry about a slow connection. Nightwish, Metallica, Incubus...all came through in fine quality and in large screen size. I was ecstatic at having the opportunity to catch hard to see music video online.
But this was not to last......
Coming back to my favorite lab computer a couple days later, I found that the ability to watch my beloved music videos was destroyed and that all access to streamed and downloaded videos was virtually squandered. After many, many attempts to bring back my treasured videos on different computers and using different methods, my dreams were shattered as I was forced to accept the fact that 'the Man' had blocked this ability on the admin. servers and there is no way to retrieve My Preciousss. So now, here I sit, using the CD function on my once prized lab computer, writing about how I hate BYU and want to transfer and am going to take the rest of the day to convince myself that the tuition price outweights such trivial details and I should just go play DDR to console myself.

The Utah Auto Show is going on this weekend. So for that I'm excited. Last years show had Eleanor, I hope they have something cool like that again this year.
