<3 D2 breakfast

D2 has the best breakfast. Evar.

Asleep 17 hours

Um... I am actually rather surprised at myself, here. I stayed up all night Monday night reading up on Electronics so that I can finish a take-home quiz that we were given (I'm behind in that class) and doing an Electronics prelab. After I turn in the quiz and prelab and eat some brunch, I get home at like 11:30 AM and go to sleep. I wake up at 10 PM, put on my PJ's, brush my teeth, and go right back to sleep. I just woke up at 5:30! Has anyone else slept for like 17 hours? This is not normal!

Learning via the Internet

The Internet is a wonderful thing. Why is it that I can go through a whole semester in a class and not understand a darn thing that the teacher is saying, and then a year and a half later I can look up the same thing on the Internet and gain a full understanding of the concept in two hours?

An Introduction to Differential Equations
Paul's Online Math Notes - Differential Equations

I mean, I seriously hated differential equations, but they seem so easy now!

::fumes::

Well, at least I'm learning, even though my grades don't show it. I'm still in a nonstop studying frenzy of Electronics and Signals & Systems! Interesting stuff, but I don't think I am doing so well in the classes...

And on a completely different topic, I finally found a Linkshell to call home (I think) in Final Fantasy XI! Man, I'm such a geek. Talking about MMORPG friendships on an Internet journal after ranting about computer engineering and advanced calculus...

Signals & Systems test

Well, I don't think I did so well on the test.. X_x I'm glad that there's a good grading policy in that class. I still have a pretty good chance if I do well on the final.

Horrible semester so far

I'm not dead, I swear! I just have been having a horrible semester. Tons of projects and tests, and I can't keep up with it all... I keep getting deeper and deeper into trouble, and no matter how hard I try to catch up, I just fall farther behind. Heh...

Well, the good news is nothing much has happened since I last updated. The biggest and bestest news is that my dad finally got a job (hurray!). He was offered two jobs at once -- one job was in Roanoke, about an hour away from where I am right now, and the other was in Texas. The family decided that the job in Texas would probably be best, so my Dad is now over there all by himself until the rest of the family moves during the summer.

I'll be staying here in Virginia to finish school, so I'll be halfway across the country from my family at any given time. Man, and I thought 6 hours was a long way home... This is gonna be insane. I will hardly ever get to see them. I will hopefully be able to at least get there during Christmas and Summer Breaks.

I always get homesick around Easter time. =( Easter has always been a good time with the family. My parents did send me more chocolate, though. That made me happy. =D
