- I actually started reading one of my airport books today -- I have to say that I'm pretty proud of myself for getting started on that, LOL. I kind of wish I was a faster reader; I mean, I am a pretty fast reader, but when I'm reading for research, I tend to read, like, super slow for some reason. But yeah, at first I was trying to read through this one transit buildings book, but it ended up being 99% about railroad terminals with, like, a paragraph or so about airports, so that book was a bust. x_x Then I decided to go with the book about airport terminals (which is conveniently titled Airport Terminals) and now I'm, like, 30 pages in and there are probably 250-ish pages in that book and I spent a good hour on that. (Will I ever finish?!) I mean, it's interesting, but you know... I still have six more books to go through! And this was probably one of the easier reads (well, excluding the two books from the architecture section of the library, which are more picture books than anything else, lol, gotten for case study purposes, but those will be last) -- I can't even imagine how slow I will be once I get to the longer (and more technical) books! It probably doesn't help that I always think everything is important. ^_^;; But yeah, I'm probably going to make a blog where I can info-dump all my thesis crap, lol, so when I get around to that, I'll probably post a link. (You know, in case any of you have the burning desire to know more about airport design and whatnot. XP)
- Today (well, now it's past midnight, so really, yesterday) our club had Bowling Night with some other club and it was pretty fun. I'm kind of a crappy bowler, LOL, so I got a lot of gutterballs. =( But I did get one strike, near the beginning, so YAY for that, LOL. Final score was a wonderful 74 -- GO ME. One of my friends (and a fellow officer in the club) was playing on another lane and he got 177 -- darn good people! But then I heard that the lane we were on is the worst lane in the bowling alley (according to Mr. 177) and seeing as the rest of the people bowling on my lane also got around the 70s, I would like to blame our lameness on the crappy lane! (Ignore the fact that basically all of us are pretty crappy at bowling, LOLOL. Obviously the lane had it out for us! XP)
Anyway, so while sitting with two of my lane-mates (who ended up being my roommate and one of the guys from my studio), we were messing around (I can't even remember what was said), but I ended up smacking Nathan (the guy) on the arm/shoulder a couple of times or whatever. Then suddenly they were both like, "Whoa! [Remula], you are vicious!" (I guess I hit a little hard? IDK, they totally exaggerated b/c it wasn't even that bad!) and like, my only response to that was, "Oh, well, I guess you don't know me that well" or whatever because, like, me smacking people is kind of common? I mean, in high school, when I was with my guy friends in class and stuff, I would totally smack them when they annoyed me or whatever, but I guess, thinking back on my time here, I don't really act like that here. Though it's probably more because I don't have many guy friends up here that I really feel comfortable with. IDK, it was just a little weird, I guess, because I obviously never really think about how I act with different groups of people, and also, sometimes I forget that these people here don't know me the same way that people in high school knew me. - Today (yesterday) I read a grand total of ONE fic, lol. Good thing I have a bunch of fics I read over the weekend that I haven't posted recs to yet or else this week would be a little dry in the recs department. But yeah, I don't even know how the number of tabs I have open got so high, but it is and I'm a little sad because there's no way I can even pretend I'm even somewhat keeping up. This month is just SO BUSY for me and I think the work has finally caught up to me! Like, I've been kind of pushing things off, but I'm at the point where it's no longer possible to do that! But gosh, after Vellum, I think I'll have a little more free time, lol, or at least be less pressed for time that I can spread things out more for my thesis stuff. But by then there will probably be ten bazillion more fics added to my growing To-Read List. @_@
- Quick Run-Down of October!
- OCT 13 -- Thesis Abstract Show
- OCT 16 -- Club Scavenger Hunt (event for freshmen)
- OCT 18 -- Vellum Entry Applications Due
- OCT 19 -- CRP 452 Midterm Paper Due
- OCT 21 -- CRP 336 Midterm
- OCT 28-30 -- Vellum Show
- OCT 29 -- Homecoming Dance (possibly go?)
- OCT 30 -- Homecoming Tailgate (club selling stuff)
Hell yeah for busy October! My thoughts are basically, work on thesis stuff until next Wednesday, then after the Abstract Show, write paper, study for midterm, and bust out the drawings for Vellum, then after midterms, I have a week to bust out an awesome bookshelf for Vellum! (I'm already stressed just thinking about it, honestly, LOL!)
Now it is time for me to go to bed because class at 8AM! GAH!
