MORNING
At 6:07, [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi called me. OMFG, yeah. I was like, "It's six o'clock in the morning! WTF?!" and yeah.. haha. But yeah.. I couldn't really sleep last night, so I was kinda cranky.. Like, in my dream, I was cutting up my math book and stuff and then there was math homework and I couldn't do it or something.. OMG, it sucked ass. Kept me up all night 'cause I was all paranoid and waking up thinking, 'Wait, did I?!~' and realizing, NO, I didn't, but it was still hard to fall asleep and all that, so yeah.. Sucked ass..

Got up around 6:40 and got ready and ate and stuff, then packed up and left for school. My toolbox was SO light 'cause I totally emptied it of unnecessary stuff.. Gosh, it was great, lol. XP


ARCHITECTURE 131
Worked on the axonometrics some more.. This time, we had to draw them from a worm's eye view and yeah.. so freakin' hard 'cause my pieces suck. x_x So I was struggling the whole time and then later, there was a break and I was STILL working trying to figure the last piece out. =( Even enlisted Mandy's help, but yeah.. Didn't finish. Good thing he said it was due Monday, so I can work on finishing it and stuff. After the break, which I didn't take, had to put out our books and look at them. Then went around to the other classrooms and yeah.. After that, they talked about some of the books, then yeah. They said we didn't have anything due on Monday, thank goodness, but if we wanted, we could redo the books. I'm redoing mine.. =/ After that, we got to leave early.. It was only, like, 11:20 or something. =O

Went to get my FormZ from the arch office, then asked Jamison if he could drive me around LA and he said yeah, so I'm good now. ^_^ Just need to ask Lauren to pick me up from the Amtrak station on Sunday..


BREAK
Went back home and worked on writing my cover letter for my English essay. Went to eat lunch, then came back, finished that, and organized my essay stuff to turn in. Afterwards, had to go to class...


MATH 142
Learned some stuff.. I dunno. Hardness.. I don't think I get it, but I haven't even tried the homework, so yeah.. =/


ENGLISH 134
Turned in our essays and then talked about argument and persuasion and all that.. Whatever.. Next essay is, of course, an argument one. He siad he'd give us the details on Friday, but yeah.. x_x


AFTERWARDS
Went to the library, bought another book, then went home and started to work on the old math homework that we have to turn in tomorrow, but then Kitto and Robia were like, "Come on! Take a break! Let's get boba!" so I was like, "..Okay..?" and then they got Charis and we left and walked across the street to the place, but they said that the boba place closes early on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. x_x So walked back and yeah.. Worked on my math some more, then went to eat dinner. Sat with Charis and Stephanie, ate, then later left and then went to school for the AIAS and CSI meeting.

Meeting was boring.. Just talked about fundrasiers and what's happening and all that junk. There's gonna be a Winter Formal on January 20 @ Madonna Inn. Formal and all.. Dunno how much it'll be though. I kinda wannai go, but I don't want to go without someone, you know? 'Cause then it's not as fun when you don't have someone to hang with.

After the meeting, talked a bit about the website and Arthur said he'd do the stuff for now, so yeah. Left and walked back home...

Been working on the sketches for ARCH 105 'cause it's due tomorrow. Took a shower and then yeah.. gave up on the sketching 'cause it was mostly done and then typed this.. I still gotta finish the old homework since we have to turn it in tomorrow.. And I need to at least attempt some of tonight's homework. =(


Okay, gonna do math now.. Will write more later or whatever..


Oh yeah. Today was the first day of registration, so I went to check how full my classes were so far after the meeting and yeah. The TR 7:10-9:00 ENGL 145 class is gone! ;_; I'm so freakin' sad! That made me so mad 'cause I NEED that class and now I only have one chance to get it 'cause all the other times don't work with my schedule.. Unless I decide to take it from 12:10-1:00, but that's not cool 'cause it's right after ARCH 132 and I won't have time to drop off my stuff. And then right after that, I'd have PHYS 141, so yeah.. That's, just, no. x_x Sucks ass.. I don't know what to do.. *sigh*

MORNING
Woke up at almost 7:00. OMG, sucked ass. x_x Got ready and stuff, ate really quickly, then packed up and left for school. Once I got to class, dropped off my stuff, then went to the library and bought a book for a dollar and then went back to class right on time.


ARCHITECTURE 131
Worked more on 3-D drawings and stuff.. After that, had a break, then talked about the weekly drawings and then went and put out our models to look at and talk about. When he got to mine, he said that there were a lot of primary, secondary, and terchery moves and that the little.. stair-like thingy or whatever was really nice and worked well.. Something about how if you look at it from a certain angle, you can see how it relates to what's behind it, but it's not just copying it.. But when you look from another angle, it becomes it's own thing.. And yeah. He liked the little.. stick box thing that is"holding" up the chipboard sticking out. And yeah.. didn't really like the two curvy pieces I had, but in my defense, those were put in first before all the other stuff. XP Anyway.. if you want to see, here's a picture of it...

ARCH 131 // Project 04: Interpolated Void // Model 02


I'd upload more, but I'm too lazy, you know.. So yeah.. After that, went to the other classrooms and looked at theirs, then went to Brent's class and they talked about the next project. Basically this project will be taking us to the end of the quarter. So yeah.. Basically, we have a book and we're cutting out parts or whatever for.. I don't know why. Basically, yeah.. I have no idea. And I don't know what I'm gonna do at all.. =/ If you want to know about the project for some odd reason, the project description stuff is HERE.


BREAK
Got home, dropped off my stuff, then suitemates were going to eat, so went with. Ate, then came back and worked on.. I don't know. Something.. I don't think I got much done though. After that, went to class and yeah.. Burning hot. Isn't it suppose to cool down already? =/


MATH 142
Learned the reduction formula or whatever.. I have no idea.. New to me, so yeah.. Basically he talks and he's writing on the board and he's standing in front of what he writes so I can't see what he's doing or what he's talking about until he's at the next part and then I'm trying to write all the stuff down to pay attention and yeah.. I don't know. Sucks ass. Doesn't help that I was so tired I wanted to fall asleep in class. x_x


ENGLISH 134
Was still so fuckin' tired and I'm usually not in this class.. So I take that as a sign that OMG I really AM tired and need sleep.. a LOT of it. x_x So yeah.. Did some sentence organization thing and yeah.. that's about it. Told the teacher I wasn't gonna be there on Friday 'cause I have to go to LA for my achitecture class and he was like, "Thanks for telling me, but I still have to mark you absent anyway" and I'm like, "Okay" and thinking, '...And...?' 'cause seriously, I didn't expect him to excuse me or anything. I'm just good like that in telling my teachers that I won't be there. Isn't that what you're SUPPOSE to do? Even if you will be marked absent, ya know? But whatevz...


AFTERWARDS
Went back home and worked a bit on math, then went to eat dinner when my suitemates were going, then came back and worked more on math. Gave up on it after a while 'cause I was lazy and it was taking forever and yeah.. Then attempted to start my architecture project, but I didn't know how to start, so yeah.. Then yeah. Just writing this entry and reading fics, which I shouldn't be doing since I have tons of othre homework to do..


Gotta take pictures for my EDES project tomorrow and I'm gonna probably put it together on Wednesday or Thursday, since it's due on Monday. Also gotta do my sketches and stuff for ARCH 105. =( And English essay is due on Wednesday, so I gotta try to fix it up. =/


So tired of life right now.. It's like, WTF, why can't it slow down some? =/


I feel so lame right now 'cause lately, I've been eating candy or snacking on SOMETHING when I do homework and stuff, even if I just ate and all that, so yeah.. Now that I don't have anymore candy to eat, I feel like raiding my other food, but I shouldn't 'cause I'm not even hungry, ya know? I'm just so used to eating all the junk.. And if I didn't have so many meals in the cafeteria, then it'd be okay 'cause then I could actually eat on my OWN schedule and that'd be perfect, ya know? Less likely to get fat, but whatever.. Today was the official start of my eat less in the cafeteria campaign, haha. 'Cause usually I just get some of everything and yeah.. When I get food, I usually eat most of it 'cause it's there, but I'm stopping that now. Just gonna get enough and that's it. Gotta stick with that until the quarter's over, haha. BLEHHH!


~Remula
remula: (Default)
I didn't sleep until 1:30 last night.. or, well, this morning, 'cause I was cleaning a bit and moving my lamp. Now it's by my mirror and trashcan and microwave, but yeah.. I was hoping it would help me when doing my arch projects on the floor, but it doesn't realy work that well. =/ Oh wellz..

So this morning, I woke up around 8:25 and was like 'WTF I can't believe it!' and I was so happy that I slept until EIGHT until I realized, DUH Helen, you went to sleep at 1:30. x_x And unlike usual, I was still hella tired, so I was like, 'Okay, sleep more' but I was like, 'WTF why didn't [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi call me?!~' and stuff 'cause he said he'd call at 8:30 and yeah. x_x But I attempted to sleep anyway. Around 9:00, I decided it was time to get up and went to go get ready and stuff. Came back, then worked on my ARCH 131 project until about 10:30, then went to eat brunch. After that, worked on my project some more, then breaked and then called Valerie around 12:30 to tell her I was going over.

Got to Valerie's around 1:00 or whatever and worked on my weekly drawing. Did my compositional alternatives, then went and did the stairs as my final. Did it twice 'cause the second time, the sun moved and the shadow looked better.. So yeah. After thhat, took some pictures of my model, then left around 4:00.

Came back to SG and was jusst relaxing for a few in my room when Eric came over and asked if I wanted to get dinner, so I was like, "Okay" and me, Eric, some dude, Bethany, and Robia went to go eat. After that, came back to my room and worked on scanning my weekly drawing stuff, printing, uploading pictures, burning my project four CD, and making the label for that. Finally, after all that ARCH 131 stuff, attempted to work on my English essay, but yeah.. it's not going so well. =/

Went to shower around 8:30 or whatever and yeah.. Now writing this.

Today wasn't all that bad.. I mean, was working, but I didn't do everything I planned, so it felt more.. laxed? I don't know. Didn't feel as rushed today.. But it may have been the fact that I'm basically stressed out and, you know, some days you just shut down and don't care as much. =/


So planning my schedule for next quarter is very exciting stuff. I mean, I know that I basically can't do anything else and I'm taking what I'm taking, so there's no need to go back to PASS until it's registration time, but you know, curiosity and all.. So I was looking ((the other day)) at the ARCH classes for next year... And yeah. The design class? 1:00-6:00 MWF. Yeah. That's right. Five freakin' hours. Three days a week. Oh JOY. And, you know, that's not even the best part. There's also the fact that there's an ARCH practice class that goes along with it that you must take. That class consists of a lecture TR 11:00-12:00 and activity TR 1:00-3:00 or 3:00-5:00. Yeah. I'm freakin' serious. The absolute cherry-on-top? That's just the major classes. Didn't even add the support classes or GEs in there. Isn't that extreme love for you?

Oh, did I mention that the 1:00-5:00 MWF design studio class happens EVERY YEAR AFTER FIRST? No? Well, there you go. So, next four years, I'm so looking forward to it. x_x Goodbye life, you will be missed.


So basically all my suitemates thought I was going to LA this weekend. I kept getting, "Wait, aren't you suppose to be in LA?" whenever people walked by my door this weekend, since I generally leave my door opened when I'm here.. So yeah. And then today, there was the "Wait, did you go to LA? 'Cause I swear you were here all weekend!" and yeah. Apparently, when all they heard was "A for architecture class" and "weekend" and assumed it was this one. I guess the word "next" doesn't mean anything anymore. Such is life.. Now, I just gotta corner Lauren some time this week and ask her to give me a ride back from the Amtrak station on Sunday. Hopefully she can...


So yeah.. English essay.. it's totally not working. =( *sigh* I need to get it done though 'cause I probably won't have time during the week to do it since it's due on Wednesday and I still have to do my EDES project before the weekend and my ARCH 105 stuff by Thursday and whatever ARCH 131 project we get tomorrow... Plus, math homework. =/


So yeah... Going back to the schedule thing, lol. The fact of the matter is, the schedule options I posted are all of the same class sections. Like, basically there's only one section for those specific times, so if I can't get in them, I'm screwed. Like, ARCH 132, I'm guarenteed in, so I'm not stressing. And the PHYS 141 is Honors, so I'm guarenteed that too. There's only two ENGL 145 classes that work for me, and they're the 7:00-9:00 one and the 3:00-4:00 one. The other times just don't work, so yeah.. I'm thinking the 3:00-4:00 will probably fill up fast since that's, like, prime-time. So yeah.. I'm probably gonna get stuck with the 7:00-9:00, in which case, I really want to get PHIL 230 so my schedule is nice and tidy. If that's full, there's all the other options I made, of course, but they don't work as well for scheduling, so yeah.. That'd just annoy me, but what can I do?

Personally, in the beginning, I was really leaning towards option one 'cause it was beautifully PERFECT, besides the fact that class started at 7:00.. That was my only dislike towards it, but yeah.. I get free afternoons -- done by 2:00. It's all nice and stuff.. But then later on, I've been leaning towards the second option ''cause OMG, been looking forward to TR mornings off for SO FUCKIN' LONG and yeah. With the first option, I'll have to wake up an hour earlier. The problem with the second option though is the three GE classes stacked together in the afternoon. I mean, yeah, I get Wednesdays basically free in the afternoon and I don't have a class as late on Friday ((so it'll be easier to go HOME 'cause I could catch the 4:25 Amtrak...)) and yeah.. Plus, I won't have the afternoons as free, but OMG, mornings! I can actually DO STUFF. Like, SLEEP. And WORK ON PROJECTS. OMG. Which is better, people? Mornings or afternoons? *sigh* Such hard decisions.. =(


And yeah... I'm so fuckin' mad at myself 'cause OMFG I forgot to get a book for ARCH 131! I was scrolling on my LJ 'cause I was trying to find the link to the schedule post and I was going pass all the stikes and stuff, then I got to tomorrow's stuff and I just skimmed over the stuff that was due then saw Book at the end of that and I freakin' flipped. OMG. I called Valerie and she freaked out too 'cause she forgot and yeah.. She said she had a book though 'cause she got a New Testament Bible thing from WOW week, but yeah.. She siad she might have one for me too, but I dunno.. She said she'd call to tell me when she goes back to her room. So if worst comes to worst, the library opens at 7:00, so I'll just go to school early, drop off my shit, and hit up the library and buy a $1 book. x_x

Woke up around 6-something and was like 'WTF why am I awake?!~' and then went back to sleep and woke up around 7:30. Tried to sleep some more, then around 8:30 or whatever, [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon called me and told me they were going to the bank. Asked them to find out if they could get my password for online banking and yeah.. Then got up and went on the computer and watched the AOL Music Sessions thing with MCR. Then went later to get ready around 10:00-ish and then got a call from [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon and 'rents and they said to call some dude at the bank to talk to him about getting my password for the online banking. Called, he was busy, left a message, and yeah. Parents told me that he would call me back in 20-30 minutes, so I was like, "Okay" and decided to just wait it out in my room since I didn't want to get the call while I was in the cafeteria, you know? So waited for like.. almost an hour and then was like, 'Fuck it' and went to the cafeteria to eat brunch.

After eating, went back to my room and got my laundry to start, then worked on my architecture project. It sucks ass, but whatever.. Worked for hours on that, only breaking to do laundry and yeah.. Sucked. My thing sucks.. Gave up around 4:00 or something. =/ Then attempted to do the sketches for the ARCH 105 project, but yeah.. That didn't work either. Afterwards, just read some fics as a break and talked to my loverz, then went to eat dinner around 5:45.

Once I finished eating, came back and talked to people on the phone and.. yeah. Didn't really do anything else. After people hung up, I went and started up Quicken, 'cause my laptop came with it, and put in all the receipts I have so I could see how much money I've spent. XD Yeah, I'm pretty lame, but it was an excuse to not do work. And it took a while to get it all on there 'cause I was sorting it by what it was and stuff. So yeah.. For architecture, I've spent ~$500 with drawing stuff from summer. But it doesn't include the books and drawing kit thing that came with my fall textbook reservation. So yeah.. And yeah. Basically, I've spent about $1003 on stuff since I've been here in SLO, including the drawing stuff I bought from the summer, but not including WOW registration or fall registration or SG payments. Yep.. I'm oh-so-great, huh? x_x It's a sad life I lead.. x_x

After that stuff, went to shower and yeah.. that's about it for my day.

Tomorrow I have to go to Valerie's to take pictures of my models. Also have to do my weekly draw and take pictures for my EDES project. Also need to work on my English essay and do the sketches for ARCH 105. Suckage much?


Bought my Amtrak ticket today for LA. BLEH! $60.. =/ You know what sucks the most about the LA thing? The fact that I'm SO close to home, but I can't go. I mean, if [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon didn't have test on that Saturday, I'm sure my parents wouldn't care if I came home for one day 'cause they'd probably be willing to take me up to LA on Saturday, but yeah.. So I got a ticket to leave at 10:35 on Friday so I'll be in LA at 4:55. Staying at my cousin's house for the weekend and leaving on Sunday at 2:55 and getting in at 8:30. Gonna attempt to find a ride back to SG on Sunday.. Maybe Lauren? It'll suck to have to walk home. =(

And yeah.. if you don't know, my itenerary for LA is here: ARCH 131 - 2006 LA Schedule

Problem now is how I'm gonna be getting around LA. =/


[livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi is visiting on November 03. He was gonna go at night, but now he's gonna leave in the morning and get here at 5:30. So yeah.. I'm excited to see him, of course, lol. I wanna see my [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon too, but yeah.. Will have to wait until Thanksgiving to see my girl. BUT! We have a date to Coronado planned! Oh yeahhh! XD


Okay.. I don't feel like typing anymore..

Just want to mention, WTF is up with ROTC now.. I heard Brady got fired from CSM and then Sandy quit being S-3 because of that.. And SGM wants McMartin or something as CSM and Adrianna? as S-3.. Let me laugh now. Hahahahaha! And [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon's been wanting to quit and Martinez is graduating early and yeah. Just the drama.. @_@

MORNING
Woke up tired as usual.. Got ready, changed, ate, then gathered my stuff and left for school. Thank goodness no laptop!


ARCHITECTURE 131
Did figure drawings again.. Did one in the classroom, then went outside and did two people and then went back in and had break. After the break, had to put our projects outside and talked about them. =/ Mine was probably the suckiest. Oh wellz.. Went back to Brent's classroom and talked about the stuff that was due. Final of the model is due Monday as well as the weekly draw and bringing a book.


BREAK
Got to leave class early at 11:10. Went home, dropped off my stuff, then Valerie called. Said I would go to the bookstore to get a print card and then go print our digitals from the library, so left my room at 11:25 and headed back to school. Got to the bookstore, bought a bunch of crap and ended up paying $21.37. Left and then went to the library to print the digitals. Took for-freakin'-ever. Finally finished and left the library around 12:20. Stupid place.. Went to Valerie's and cut the digitals, then left. When I was at Valerie's, realized I didn't buy prismacolor pencils for the weekly draw, so went to the bookstore to buy them and had to pay $3.38 for THREE freakin' pencils. Dumb thing. ((Spent ~$69 in the last three days...)) Finally started walking home around 12:45. =/

Got home, went to eat lunch, then came back to my room and worked on my English homework. ((Also put the crappy white board I bought from the bookstore on my door -- now I have a means of communication since I rarely see my suitemates...)) Then read some fics to pass the time 'cause I was being lazy and didn't actually want to do work.


ENGLISH 134
Got in our groups, exchanged our papers back, and "discussed" our evaluations of them. Then talked about the readings we did and how they helped or didn't help and stuff..


AFTERWARDS
Went back home and cut my chipboard and then went out to spray glue my digital to it. After that, did my math homework while talking to my loverz. Then went to eat dinner and came back and trimmed my digital thing. After that, went online and started planning my schedule for next quarter! XD

PASS, if you don't know, stands for Planning A Student Schedule and it's a thing where you can plan your schedule on the Cal Poly website. Yeah, very logical. Just thought I'd explain the title in case people didn't know. XP

So here's the schedule I want...

ARCH 132 // MWF // 0810-1200
ENGL 145 // TR // 0710-0900
PHIL 230 // TR // 0910-1100
PHYS 141 // MTRF // 1310-1400

I want that, but the PHIL 230 is a C2 requirement and it said you had to finish your Area A requirements as prerequisite, so yeah..


My other options...

ARCH 132 // MWF // 0810-1200
PHYS 141 // MTRF // 1310-1400
ENGL 253 // TWRF // 1410-1500
ENGL 145 // MTWR // 1510-1600

ARCH 132 // MWF // 0810-1200
ENGL 145 // TR // 0710-0900
PHYS 141 // MTRF // 1310-1400
ENGL 151 // MW // 1410-1600

ARCH 132 // MWF // 0810-1200
ENGL 145 // TR // 0710-0900
PHYS 141 // MTRF // 1310-1400
HIST 207 // TR // 1410-1600

ARCH 132 // MWF // 0810-1200
ENGL 145 // TR // 0710-0900
PHYS 141 // MTRF // 1310-1400
ANT 201 // TR // 1410-1600

And yeah.. Basically I want either the first one with PHIL 230 or the first of the other options. The other ones are just back-up or whatever...


I'll post another schedule post after this with tables for my reference, so yeah... I know I don't really have TR mornings off except if I go with option one from the other option...

MORNING
Woke up, got ready, ate, went to school. Long ass walk, as usual.. Sucked ass.


INTRO TO EDES 101
Borningness.. Some people from Clark Construction were there just talking about this one project in San Francisco.. BLEH!


ARCHITECTURE 105
Teacher was late.. x_x Didn't start until about 9:25.. Just talked about the new project and it sucks ass, of course.. Gotta have sketches of our archival box, a list of materials we plan to use, and make two joints that we're using in our project by Thursday. *sigh* Got to leave class early after that.. it was almost 10:00.


BREAK
Went back to SG and just spray glued my digital to the chipboard outside.. then came back and didn't really do anything for a bit. Then around 11:00, walked to school to the bookstore to buy the foamcore board for EDES and some basswood for ARCH 131. Also got a ruler thingy for cutting.. Spent $22.15.. *sigh* After that, walked back home and then went to eat lunch.

Ate, later Charis came and we jusst sat and ate.. Then we were basically done, but Noelle and Bethany came, so just continued sitting until Noelle finished, then left. By then it was almost 1:00, so I was like fuck and stuff 'cause I had the math study session to go to, but yeah. I was about to leave for it when I realized I didn't print my English essay, so went to print and it was taking forever, so I was like fuck this and just put my stuff down and decided I wasn't gonna go to the study session. Just hung around my room until I had to leave after that..


MATH 142
Had a sub.. Just did integration by parts.. Boring, boring..


ENGLISH 134
Just went into groups and peer edited essays.. For homework, gotta take home the essays and write a paragraph response for them. BLEHHH!


AFTERWARDS
Went back home and worked on my math homework. Around 5:00, went to eat dinner with the guys, then later came back and realized that OMFG, today is THURSDAY and why the fuck was I doing math homework when I don't have math tomorrow? x_x So put that away and started working on my ARCH 131 project. It was about 5:50 then. Took forever to get the backing supports glued on, then when I was trying to actually work on the project part, nothing was working. It was like, I would hold it there for about five minutes or whatever, I let go, it doesn't stay. I was like WTF and I was so frustrated.. Only got a little bit done 'cause nothing wanted to work.. especially the wood. =( Made me so mad! >O Finally gave up at 9:00 'cause fuck, it was pissing me off. I don't care that there's only, like, five things on there. I can't do anymore now 'cause I'm too pissed off at it. After that, took a shower and yeah.. that's about it. Basically, I'm just mad and there better be people who have about as much done as me.. or else I'll feel like I was the only crappy one.. =/


I still need a ride to Amtrak for Thursday.. I think tomorrow I'm just gonna ask around the people in my ARCH class and if no one can give me one, I think I'll just ditch my English class on Thursday and go with Marcela or whatever.. or, I'll just go on Friday morning.. BLEH! Probably Friday morning 'cause I can't afford to miss so much English. =/ *sigh* Life sucks..


I have to do my EDES project this weekend. And most likely the ARCH 131 project.. And math homework.. And English essay.. BLEHHHHHH!~


I wanna write more, but I'm just too tired.. Lates.


~Remula
remula: (Default)
MORNING
Woke up at 6:40 which is better than 6:50, but yeah. So freakin' tired every morning nowadays.. =( But yeah.. got ready, changed, ate, then when I checked my mail, I saw we didn't need our laptops today, so I had to transfer all my junk to my backpack and yeah.. At least I didn't have to carry that heavy thing. XP


ARCHITECTURE 131
Did some more 3-D stuff until about 9:35, then had a break until 10:00. After that, went to Brent's classroom and sat while they talked about LA, then talked about the new project. BLEHHHH! I already read it yesterday, but yeah. I don't wanna do itttt! Just talked about that the rest of the time and yeah.. Due Friday, as usual.. =/


BREAK
Went back to Stenner and then Valerie called me and asked about supplies we need and if I wanted her to get my stuff. I said yes, of course and yeah.. Then went to eat lunch, then came back and worked on my English essay. Later on, Kitto came and we walked to school together since we both had class at 2:00.


MATH 142
Did l'Hospital's Rule.. BLEH-ness.. I kept nodding off and stuff.. OMG, I was trying so hard to stay awake, but yeah.. I felt so bad.. =(


ENGLISH 134
Went into groups and just worked on fixing a paragraph. It was so dumb.. 'bout penguins and how they shouldn't be allowed in the library or something. It was horrible and I didn't feel like working and I just wanted to cross out the whole paragraph because it just sucked that much. =/


AFTERWARDS
Called Valerie and she and Marcela were at Law's, so I was like, "..." and just went to hang out in the UU and outside the UU when I wanted to talk on the phone. Waited until Valerie called me around 4:35 telling me they were back, then went over to her room and got my stuff from her. It wasn't even that much, but I had to pay her $20 'cause the supplies cost $59.20 for Valerie's, Marcela's, and my stuff. =/ They bought more basswood from Law's when they were there, but didn't buy me any. =/ Oh well.. Whatever. They said a bunch of architecture people were there though.. BLEH!

Walked home after that, put down my stuff, then worked on my math homework. Around 6:30, went to go eat dinner, then came back and worked on my English essay. Got to three pages and about a half, then went to shower. After that, worked a bit on my essay and now I have 3.75 pages without an intro or conclusion.. and it's not even that well organized. Oh wellz..


Tomorrow I gotta dedicate the day to working on my architecture project. =( Sucks..


This weekend, I HAVE to take the pictures for EDES 101, buy the materials we need, and work on the project 'cause next weekend is LA and it's due the Tuesday after that. =/


Life sucks.. *sigh*


I need a ride to the Amtrak station next Thursday after my English class.. =/ If I can't get a ride by tomorrow, then I guess I'll just be going down to LA on Friday. =/


Okay, gonna stop.. Lates..

MORNING
Woke up at 6:50 again. x_x Damn.. Got up, got ready, then ate my cereal and yeah. Left my room kinda late at 7:50 and yeah.. Was almost late to class. =/ And had a bad phone conversation with [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi, which didn't help my day at all. =/


INTRO TO EDES 101
I mentioned how the teacher calls about ten people in the beginning of class to go sit on the stage and ask questions at the end.. Guess who's name was called? That's right. ME. OMFG, I was like, "I'm not going" and didn't go up there, so yeah.. Marked absent. =/ *sigh* Oh well..

The department head for ARCE was the guest speaker today and he just talked about architectural engineering, or as most people know it, structural engineering. It was interesting, but I didn't take notes. =( Bad Helen.. =/ But yeah, I totally should have went up there today 'cause it was actually an interesting presentation ((unlike last time)) and I could have asked a good question since I was interested. *sigh* Dumb Helen.. =/


BREAK
Went to Valerie's room 'cause she didn't finish her digital. Helped her choose new pictures and she worked on her project with input from me every once in a while when she asked. I just watched the VH1 Top 20 Countdown. Boring, boring.. Saw Paris Hilton's new song/video. Just, eww. No. The boy in there looks like a little kid. OMG. And Paris is being a ho, like usual. x_x

Around 11:00, went to go get a print card from the library.. Me and Valerie just put $5 each on it. Then went to the library and printed our thing. Took forever.. And yeah, didn't go to the Honors meeting thing 'cause it was already around 11:30 by the time we were done and yeah..

Went back to Valerie's and cut the pictures, then I left. I had the print card in my pocket.

Got home and then was putting down my stuff, then went to my pocket to get out the print card to put away and IT WASN'T THERE. You'd think I'd learn my lesson by now, with the two meal cards I lost, but I didn't think the print card would get out since it wasn't even laminated or anything, you know? Not slippery and all, but I guess not. So mad 'cause there was still $5.50 on there! ARGH!

Went to go eat lunch -- it was nasty Chinese. EWWW!

After that, did nothing in my room besides talk to [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi on the phone. Around 12:30, e-mailed my Study Session tutor person to say that I couldn't make it to the thing 'cause I didn't want to go. After that, continued talking on the phone 'til we both had to go 'cause of class.


MATH 142
Hyperbolic trig functions.. BLEHHH! New to me 'cause I never learned that. Got a bunch of homework, as usual, then class was over..


AFTERWARDS
Went back to SG and worked on my math homework. Finished that, then went and worked on my English essay. Later on, Kitto came and asked if I was busy, but I was like no, and he wanted to go check out the Chinese place downtown, so I was like whatever and went with. Walked downtown, took about 30 minutes to get there. It was called the Golden China Restaurant. According to their mini-menu, it's the "SLO County's Best Asian Restaurant 18 Years in a Row" and yeah.. Like there's much competition. x_x Anyway.. I don't remember what we ate 'cause I'm lame like that, but it was okay. Not great, but you know.. better than the Chinese they had at lunch, which was disgusting.

It ended up costing $30.95. Kitto paid, but I'm gonna give him some money tomorrow 'cause I feel bad, ya know? Yeah.. Walked back and yeah.. [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon called me and [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi called me and yeah. They were both mad at me and I don't know.. *sigh* Bad day..

Talked on the phone with my two loverz until about 9:30. =O My internet wasn't working, so yeah.. Sucked ass. =/


Showered, then came back and yeah..


It's 11:10 right now and yeah.. I already burned another CD for ARCH 131 before I showered..


Nga said I could stay at their house when I'm in LA. Just gotta tell her when I'm coming in so I can be picked up...


I wanna find out when Valerie's gonna go 'cause I don't want to be in the Amtrak alone.. Dunno if I should leave Thursday or Friday.. Hmm...


But yeah.. bad day today. And I check the ARCH 131 website and the information about the new project is already there. I read it. It sucks. x_x

ARGHHH!

MORNING
Woke up late at 6:50. =( That sucked. Got up, got ready, ate my cereal, then packed up my laptop and left.


ARCHITECTURE 131
Got to school at 8:00.. Talked a bit on the phone, then later class started. Had to do this 3-D drawing exercise thing.. After that, had to go pin up our digitals in the Media Room or whatever and had a break. After that, went to the Media Room and talked about the projects. Basically, they sucked and we have to do them again. x_x BLEHHH! After that, everyone went to Brent's room and they showed us how to do some things on Illustrator and then went back to our class and had about 30 minutes to start our finals for Wednesday. x_x I didn't get much done 'cause I wasn't sure of my pictures... =/


BREAK
Came home, dropped off my stuff, then went to eat lunch 'cause Brooke was going. Ate food, then came back to my room and attempted to work on my English essay, but yeah.. After that, walked to class.


MATH 142
Got our tests back.. Got a 68 on it, which is a C. =/ And yeah.. sucked. Took some notes and then got homework and class was over.


ENGLISH 134
Went over the reading, then did this quote integration thing.. Boring, boring..


AFTERWARDS
Went home and did my math homework. Right after I finished, Kitto came to invite me to dinner, so went with. Ate food, then came back and worked on my digital. Worked forever, then took a shower around 9:00 and then after that, worked on my digital some more. =/ Finally, around 11-something, I gave up and yeah.. =/

Tomorrow, right after EDES 101, me and Valerie are going to Staples to print, so yeah. Gotta catch the bus right away, lol. And yeah.. it better work out.. After that, I guess I'm gonna go home and yeah.. I don't know. Work on my English essay, haha. I need to get that shit done. x_x


Okay, gonna go now.. Lates.

Left around 3:50 to go to Valerie's place. Got there a little past four and she just woke up. Waited for her to get ready, then went to the library. It was like, 4:15-ish or something. OMFG, there were so many people there. x_x And the person who was suppose to come in for the printing wasn't even there yet! She didn't come until, like, 4:25. Had to sign a list for the order we'd print in and I ended up as number 19. Waited a while, sent my file to the printer, then waited some more. It was about 5:30 when I finally decided that I wasn't gonna wait anymore there 'cause yeah. They were at number six. x_x

Walked back to SG and went to eat dinner. Then went to my room, grabbed my jacket, then walked back to the library. Got there around 6:10 or whatever and yeah, they were only on 11. OMFG. Sucked so much. Waited around, then went outside and called [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon and [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi, then later went back in and sat around waiting some more. How fun is that? >O Dumb thing.. Finally got mine printed around 7:17. It was printed with some other girl's, so had to cut it in half before I could go. Left the library at 7:20 and then walked home. Got here around 7:45, put down my stuff, then went to shower.

After showering, came back and cut my thing, but I wasn't really paying that much attention and I ended up cutting one side too short by .5". OMFG. So mad, but whatever. Can't fix it now and I don't care anymore.. *sigh* Dumb thing.. I hate this. Don't care if I get marked down for making the border too small. Whatever.. life sucks.


I still need to write my freakin' profile essay for English. OMFG. I'm so tired and I just wnat to sleep and stuff, but no. Fucking shit. >O


*sigh* Okay, gonna go now.. Lates.


~Remula
remula: (Default)
Woke up around 7:00 or whatever it was 'cause [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon called me. x_x OMG, I didn't even sleep until 1:00 last night and yeah.. Sucked. Later on, around 8:00, [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi called me. x_x That sucked too. x_x So yeah.. after that, got up and got ready, changed, and ate cereal -- Honey Bunches of Oats! XD Good stuff. After that, packed up my stuff, went online for a bit, then left my room around 9:50 or whatever.

Walked to the library and got there a bit after 10:00. Asked and found the CAD printing place on the second floor, but the girl said that no one would be there until 4:00, so yeah. x_x Went to the Pony Prints thing in the reading room and yeah. They said they didn't print my size 'cause mine is 22x8 and yeah.. they only do 11x17 or 12x18 as their biggest. x_x Valerie printed hers, then we went back to her room and just hung for a while. Then later on, started working on the weekly drawing thing.. I just drew her chair -- I'm so lame. I don't even think I did it right. x_x Oh well.. Did that, then just hung around. Later on, Marcela came and she scanned her analogs.. Just watched and then later went on Valerie's laptop for a while, then kinda attempted to work on my English essay, but I didn't know what to do. =/

Around 2:00, Marcela was leaving, so I decided to walk back with her, so left. Walked back to SG and went to my room and have been scanning stuff and organizing a little. That's about it. Later on, I gotta go back to Valerie's so we can go to the library and print my shit. I probably have to leave in about 10-15 minutes. x_x Hopefully the library printing won't take that long 'cause I don't want to spend forever there, ya know?

BLEHHHH! Life sucks.. I wanted to catch up on my sleep today, but no.. =/

More to say later on..

~Remula

BLAHHH!~

Oct. 14th, 2006 11:02 pm
remula: (Default)
So I was sleeping kinda this morning.. on and off type thing, but it was going kinda well, considering I went to sleep around 1:00 and all.. Then at 7:00, [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon calls me 'cause apparently her SAT was today and yeah. Let's just say it was about as much sleep as I'm usually getting. She hung up, I attempted to sleep more, though I didn't actually get sleep, but at least I got rest and that's good too. She called a couple more times after that, then around 8:30 or whatever, I was like whatever and just got up and turned on the computer. Worked on my digital some more and then around 10:00, went to go get ready and stuff. At about 10:50 or whatever, went to put my laundry in the wash. Surprisingly, there weren't any people in there -- I say it was the weather 'cause it was cloudy and cold and it rained last night. XD Good stuff. XD But yeah, put my laundry in and then went to go eat breakfast.

Breakfast food was bleh, as usual. What do you expect? After that, went back to my room and read some fics 'cause I had to go put the laundry in the dryer soon. After about ten or whatever minutes, went back to the laundry room and put it in the dry, then came back to my room and stared at my digital a bit. Kinda worked on it, then later, went to get my clothes when it was done. Came back, folded laundry, then I was like, "Okay, I don't want to work anymore on my digital" and yeah, that was as done as I was gonna be.

Around 1:27, called Valerie, but she didn't pick up. Then called Marcela and she just woke up and she said that she ddn't work on her project yesterday, so yeah. She wasn't ready to print. =/ After that, started working on my math homework..

Valerie called me back later and she apparently didn't work on it much either and she wasn't going to print yet. So yeah, I was like whatever and continued on with my math homework.

Around 2:45, I was like, 'I need a break' and so I decided to get my purse and walk to Rite Aid and Albertson's. Went to Rite Aid first and bought some heavyweight paper and some Snickers. After that, went over to Albertson's and bought two boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats and two packs of Oreos with peanut butter filling. x_x Then had to carry all that home. Sucked ass. x_x

Got home, put away my junk, then continued with my math homework. Finally finished around 4:00 or something like that, then read some fics and yeah.. Didn't really do anything else productive.

Around 5:25, Kitto came and asked me if I had dinner, so I decided to go with. ((He just came back from Santa Barbara.)) Got food, ate, wasn't that good. During dinner, Valerie called me and said she had brain block and didn't know what to do. She asked me to go over to her place, so I said I would after I was done eating. x_x

Finished dinner and went bsack to my room. Decided to bring my laptop since I'd have nothing else to do when I was there if I didn't. Left around 6:00 and started walking to school to Valerie's place.

Took forever, but finally got there around 6:25. Set up my laptop and helped Valerie decide if she should change her pictures. She didn't. Then she was working on it, kinda, and I was on my laptop playing music and trying to get internet from her room. Had to download a bunch of crap and it sucked 'cause, like, there's bad wireless in the dorm area on campus -- I guess it's to make sure you use the software. x_x So yeah, during the downloads of the stupid stuff, I'd keep getting disconnected and have to start the download over again. It pissed me off so much, OMFG. >O So yeah.. After, like, two hours, I finally got it to work. x_x That's really lame. =/

Worked on the AIAS website while I was at Valerie's. Didn't really do much, but yeah. I dunno.. The graphics I made, if you can even call it that, were simple and stuff. I didn't want to exert too much effort on it and plus, I don't know how to use the Adobe software that well anyway. XP

And yeah.. had to keep Valerie on track to do her project and stuff.. Finally around 9:20, she was "finished'. Hung around a little more, then left her place at 9:35 to walk home.

Got home around 9:50.. x_x Was so tired and cold. Dropped off my stuff and then went to shower and yeah.. Came back and now I'm here. XP


Tomorrow, me and Valerie are meeting at 10:00 at the library (('cause that's when it opens)) to print our things. Then afterwards, we're planning to go to her room and do our weekly drawing thing for ARCH 131. x_x


I still need to write my profile essay for English.. I dunno how to start it though! I mean, WTF! ;_; Rough draft is due on Wednesday.. *sigh*


Need to take pictures for my EDES 101 assignment. I guess I'll bring my camera tomorrow when I go just in case I have time and want to take pictures of a building. x_x


Tomorrow we're suppose to go eat pho. Kitto said it'd be a lunch type thing, but I dunno if I'll even be home by then to go.. Not that I know what time they're planning on going, but yeah. =/ [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon and [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi told me to invite Valerie to go too, but she doesn't know my suitemates and stuff.. I mean, I would, but yeah.. Plus, thinking about it now, it would be, like, hard for her to go with since we all live in Stenner and she lives on campus. So like, after we're done, she has to walk back to school alone. And I dunno what time we're going, so yeah.. even more inconvient. If I saw Kitto tomorrow morning before I leave, then yeah, it'd be fine, but most likely I won't, so yeah.. I dunno. I don't have his number or anything either, so yeah, lol. Oh well.. we'll see.


I'm gonna burn my CD for ARCH 131 now.. Less to worry about if I do it now..

MORNING
Woke up to my calf muscle cramping up. OMG, such pain! And when I finally got it relaxed enough to uncramp, it cramped back up after a minute or so. OMG, happened like, three times. ;_; It hurt so much.. ;_; And when I finally had to get out of bed later on, it was like OMGWTFPAIN when I stood on that leg. ;_; Anyway.. Got up and got ready and ate my cereal and went on the computer. Then when it was like, 7:40 or whatever, I turned off my laptop, but it was like, "Windows is installing updates. Don't turn off your computer" or whatever the shit it says and OMG, waited for like, ten minutes and I was so MAD 'cause it was getting late! Finally left the building around 7:55-ish and yeah. Sucked ass. Was trying to speed walk and it sucked even more 'cause there was still the ache from the muscle cramp. x_x Got to class with a few minutes to spare, thankfully.


ARCHITECTURE 131
Went out to this area in front of Dexter and we were outside. It rained last night, so it was all wet on the benches and stuff, but sat down anyway. Drew one of the people in our class, just like usual on Friday. When I got up after we were done, ...yeah. You can imagine how crappy the butt of my pants looked. Now, just for perspective, I was wearing my off-white colored guy pants, so yeah. Let's just say it was noticeable. VERY noticeable. x_x

As we were walking to our next spot to do a figure drawing, everyone was talking about their plans for LA and stuff. Seems like the people with cars are full or almost full and it seems that most people are leaving on Thursday. So yeah.. I dunno. I kinda wanna leave on Thursday too, but that'd be cutting it way close since the latest Amtrak leaves at 3:50 from the Cal Poly stop and 4:25 from the San Luis Obispo one and I don't want to miss my English class just to get to the Amtrak station for the 4:25 one 'cause yeah.. I'm already gonna be missing Friday's English class, so.. You know. =/ But yeah, I still don't know where I'm staying. I need to know where exactly in LA we're gonna be at so I can see if it's possible to stay with family or not, ya know? If not, I guess me and a few girls will be getting a hotel room. But that'll suck 'cause I won't have my sleeping bag! =( So yeah.. =/ I'll continue this line of thought at the end of this post, lol. XP

Went to the library next and drew another person. After that, went back to the classroom and had to put out all our analogs on our desk, then walked around looking at them all. After that, had to pin up our analogs and then one of the second year architecture teachers came in and we were expplaining the project to him. When I say we, I mean the students we, not me as part of the we, 'cause yeah.. I wouldn't know what to say, lol. XP But yeah, explained the project and talked and stuff, then after that, had a break. Once break was over, came back and Brian went around and gave feedback on all of the analogs on the wall. After that, went to Keith's room and looked at theirs, then went to Brent's room, then stayed in there and the other two classes filed in. They talked about how the CD should be and stuff, then that was it.


BREAK
Walked back to SG and went on the computer for a little bit. Later on, around 1:00, went to go eat lunch. Just ate a sandwich and stuff 'cause I didn't want to eat their Chinese food.. I don't really trust it 'cause it wasn't that great last week. After eating, went back to my room, printed out my media sample essay, and just did basically nothing until I had to leave for English. But yeah, left kinda late and forgot to put my phone on vibrate, so was planning to do that when I got to class. Was walking and turned to go into the math building then right when I was about to open the door, I realized, 'HOLY CRAP, I don't have math today!" and then had to turn around and continue walking. Got to class at about 3:07 and yeah..


ENGLISH 134
Everyone was sitting in different spots. Like, usually the girls sit on the door side of the room and the guys sit at the backside, but it was switched and I was confused. Then the girls were like, "Come on, Helen, sit with the girls!" so I was like, "Okay" and went over there to sit. Apparently they were trying to trick the teacher. But yeah.. That kinda threw me off and I forgot to turn off my phone like I was planning to.

Cut to 3:15 and my cell phone goes off 'cause of [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon's usual after school call. There my phone went, singing, "Oh and the smokes in that cigerette box on the table, they just so happen to be laced --" and I got my phone to stop. That sucked. x_x But yeah..

Anywayz.. Peer edited our media sample essays for the whole period. That's about it...


AFTERWARDS
Went to the bookstore to get a print card. Asked a girl who worked there and she told me that we could just put money on our Campus Express Card and use that and I was like, WTF 'cause yeah, didn't know that. So wasted my time going there, walked home, and then went on the computer and added $20 to my Campus Express Card ((which is basically our PolyCard)) and yeah.. After that, worked on my digital for ARCH 131 and did that until I went to go eat dinner.

After dinner, worked on my digital some more and talked to my loverz. After that, went to shower and then I rewrote my whiteboard 'cause it was kinda making me mad, lol. That, and I didn't want to work on my digital, so yeah.. XP After that, came and wrote this entry and that's where I am now. XP


I want to "finish" my digital by tomorrow so I can print tomorrow in the afternoon. Everyone's probably gonna try and print on Sunday, so I wanna beat the rush, ya know? Yeah.

Also gotta do the weekly drawing thing for ARCH 131 that they just barely told us about at the end of class today. x_x That sucks.. I dunno what to do.. *sigh* Will probably bring sketchbook when I go to print just in case it takes forever (('cause I called for an appointment and the dude was like, "You don't need one" so yeah.. might take a while..)) so I can work on the weekly drawing thing. But I'll need to buy some heavyweight paper for it, so... I'll only be able to do a part of it or whatever.


I have math homework that I totally forgot about and yeah... Need to do that too.. =/ And need to do laundry tomorrow as well. =/


I wanna start taking pictures for the third assignment for EDES 'cause that's due at the end of October and I only have this weekend and next weekend to work on it since we have LA on the weekend after that. =/



Okay, the LA thing. It's like, I kinda want to leave on Thursday, but I dunno how I'm gonna get to the station downtown 'cause that one leaves at 4:25 and I am not about to miss English class that day 'cause I'm gonna be missing it on Friday and two days in a row isn't cool, ya know? So yeah.. So if I do leave on Thursday, I'm gonna have to get a ride to the station. I think I'll ask Eric, the guy who lives in the other suite and is in my English class, if he could give me a ride that day after class. If he can, it's all good, and I'll probably bring my stuff to school and keep it in Valerie's room or something for my classes, then get my stuff and go. If he can't, then I'm basically screwed for going on Thursday 'cause there's no way I can get there, ya know? So yeah, if that doesn't work out, then I'll probably go on Friday..

I was thinking about maybe going down to SD to visit for a day before getting my 'rents to take me to LA, but yeah. My sister has her SAT or ACT or whatever that Saturday, so it'd be inconvient if I did that. =/ So yeah.. .

I dunno where I'm gonna stay right now. It's like, I don't know where in LA we're gonna be, so I dunno if I can stay with my cousins or whatever. x_x [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheavi volunteered Rick's place, but he lives in Pomona and that's not really in LA at all, so it would probably be out of his way to come pick me up from LAX ((that's where the dropoff is)) and then taking me whereever I have to meet my class on Saturday, so yeah.. We'll see once we get all the info on Monday..

I guess I should ask Nga where she lives and tell her I'll be in LA just in case she happens to be near where I'll need to be or whatever.. and to make sure she's free enough that weekend to have me over and take me where I need to go, lol. ^_^;;


Okay, I'm tired of writing now. Laterz.


~Remula

MORNING
I actually kinda woke up a few minutes early today. =O That didn't get me out of bed the first ring of the alarm though. I stayed in bed for about 10 more minutes after the alarm ((snooze, yo!)) and then got up when it rang again. Got ready and ate my food, then packed up my junk and then left around 7:45 or whatever. Heavy stuff, as usual.


ARCHITECTURE 131
The Dean of Architecture, or whatever his title is, came and introduced himself to us for the first couple of minutes of class. All the other classes were in our classroom for a change, lol. But yeah.. After that, the teachers told us that we were going on a field trip to LA on Saturday, October 28. I was thinking, 'Hey, that day sounds kinda familiar.. @_@' and then I busted out my planner to write it down, and what do I see? "BoBbleHeAd's Visiting" on that day. x_x Yeah. So yeah, anywayz.. Wrote it done while they were telling us a few details, like the fact that we have to get our own room for the night since we're staying Saturday night. "A couple of you might rent out a room with two twin beds and four of you might stay in there -- not eight" is what Brian said. Isn't that nice? Kinda reminds me of Calculus camp, where all the girls were just piled in the bedroom, haha. I need my sleeping bag though, if I end up rooming with people..

Oh, and did they mention that we have to get our own transportation there as well? Why, yes, they did, at the END of that little talk, they say, "You need to find a way to get there" and yeah. That sucks 'cause most people? Don't have a car. So.. Amtrak, loverz. Seven hours of my life wasted. The only good thing? No class the Friday before that weekend. OMFG, yes! I think I'm probably just gonna ditch my English class that day and take the Amtrak during the day. I check the times and stuff, and there's one that leaves around 10 or whatever, gets there at 4-ish and only costs, like, $29, so yeah. But we'll see when they give us more information next week..

When I get that info, I guess I'll ask Nga or whatever where they live and if it's convient for me to stay with them that weekend, haha. 'Cause if it's pretty close or if she can give me a ride to meet my class or whatever, that'd be great, haha. Then I wouldn't have to get a room, lol. XP But yeah.. we'll see..

After that, we worked on the 3-D cube thingies again 'cause we sucked on Monday. Finished that, pinned our stuff on the wall, then had a break. I went out to call [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi to make sure he didn't buy his tickets yet 'cause yeah. Field trip, lol. So he's gonna come on the 4th, I think. I dunno. Hopefully there's nothing going on then, lol.

Once the break was over, went over to the other classroom and they talked some of the analogs. Afterwards, they told us that the final analog one is due Friday, new illustration board, all nice and final and shit. x_x BLEHHH! Then went back to our class and Brian went around to everyone and gave advice on each person's analog. For mine, he just said to work more on the lines and less on tone 'cause yeah.. I had a bit of that, lol. ^_^;; And he said this one curvy line thing near the bottom of mine worked, but it lost some of its effect when it was trying to connect with some other line a little over on the page. And yeah.. said to work with more of the less obvious places and develop it more. The rest of the time that he was at other people, I was just on the computer, not knowing what to do, lol. Yeah..


BREAK
Went back to SG and then went to eat lunch 'cause Kitto and Lauren were going. So went with them, ate, then came back and just talked to [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi on the phone. Around 1:50, left my room for shool.


MATH 142
Went over arcsin and all the other inverses for the trig functions. BLEHHH! At least now I get where some of that stuff comes from, 'cause before, I never knew and I could barely remember some of the stuff, lol. Got lots of homework, as usual, but yeah..

Midterm tomorrow! =O I hope I don't suck, lol. I'm pretty confident, except for the work problems. Hopefully there's, like, only one of those so I can pass the rest, lol. XP


ENGLISH 134
Went over what we read for homework, then did this activity thing where we were in groups, got song lyrics, and had to analyze it or whatever. Like, write our thoughts and feelings, what was interesting or stood out, what the piece says about the author, and what the piece says for the intended audience. It was suppose to help us for our media sample essay and I kinda have an idea, I guess, but yeah..


AFTERWARDS
Went to the bookstore and bought more illustration board. It sucked 'cause there weren't smaller sheets of the white, just this yellowish off-white stuff and yeah. Needed white, so I had to get a huge 32x40 board or whatever it is. =/ That sucked carrying home. x_x Anywayz.. Went back to SG, got my stuff ready, then went over to Charis' room and interviewed her. It was kinda weird-ish 'cause I wasn't really that organized, lol. I didn't really take note-notes. It was just scribble-scrabble all over my notepad, haha. It's not really legible and yeah.. I didn't even write down what context the answers were in, lol. Like, when she was talking about how her dad influenced her, I just wrote "dad" and that's it. x_x I'm so lame, but it's a good thing I have a pretty good memory, lol. It also helps that if I need to confirm anything, she's only a door away, lol. XP

After interviewing with her, I just came back to my room and read some fics until I had to go to the CSI Product Rep presentation thing.

Around 5:50, started walking to school. Got there at six or whatever, got food, and then the presentation started.

The presentation was from Sherwin Williams, a paint company, if you don't know. ((I'm sure most people do, since they're huge, but [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi didn't, so yeah, lol. XP It was pretty boring, lol. I mean, it's paint, there's really not that much of interest, lol. But yeah.. learned some stuff, kinda.. And yeah. Afterwards, talked with Alex and.. Arthur, the other guy who said he'd do the website. Didn't really say much or anything and yeah.. After that, it was 7:00 and just walked home. BLEH!

Got home, measured and cut out my illustration board, choose my pictures for the final, worked a little on yesterday's math homework, a little on the study guide-type thing for the midterm, then started writing this entry.


I gotta do the reading and the exercises still for English tomorrow. And I need to write my media sample essay 'cause that's due on Friday and I haven't even started. Freakin' two-three pages.. ARGH! I guess I'll start the reading after I shower ((which I will after I'm done writing this)). Then after the reading stuff ((should only take.. about 15-ish minutes)), I'll try to start on my media sample essay, or at least, write out the four categories and stuff like we did in class for a start.

Also, gonna have to cut out my pictures and glue it to the illustration board. Then I guess I'll start on it, or at least get a few construction lines going.

So yeah.. busy, busy.. And I will probably be done showering at 9:00, so it's not like I have much time either. x_x


Okay, gotta go now. Will write more later tonight, if I have time, which I probably won't. x_x Lates.

MORNING
Got up, got ready, ate cereal, went on the computer.. Same old, same old.. Started walking to school around 7:45.


INTO TO EDES 101
Saw Valerie as I was going in, so went and sat with her. She convinced me to sign up for the Poly Canyon Project Day on November 17 from 1:00 - 5:00, so yeah.. Then the day after that, I have to go on the Poly Canyon Tour. x_x But whatever.. Went in to sit and then teacher lectured. Me and Valerie played Hangman during the non-note-taking parts.. Afterwards, watched a movie.. I think it was called The Green Apple which was just about New York and how some buildings are good for the environment or whatever.


BREAK
Went back to SG and cut out my stuff for the project and worked on it a little. Also read some fics 'cause yeah.. I'm just like that. x_x

Later on, around 12:00, went to go eat lunch, then came back, got my stuff together, and left for school around 12:50.


MATH STUDY SESSION
Had a math study session thing today. It's on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00 - 2:00. Anywayz.. that was boring. Just did some math homework and yeah..


MATH 142
Learned more about log and ln. Boring, boring..


AFTERWARDS
Went back home and wrote on my white board. After that, had to go to school to meet with this guy from AIAS 'cause I said I would make the website for the club and yeah.. Meet and kinda talked about the website. Didn't get much 'cause he wasn't sure what he wanted and yeah.. After that, it was about 4:20, so walked back home. Worked on my project a little, then around 4:55, walked back to school for the CAED Student Council meeting.

The CAED Student Council meeting was boring. It was like, only representatives from the clubs and stuff. I was the only one there that wasn't repping something.. And yeah, each person just talked about what their club is doing and stuff.. And yeah.. It's like, I can see why regular people don't really go to this club 'cause if you're not repping anything, then you're just listening to what all the clubs are doing. And yeah, that can be cool and all, if you wanna crash events from other clubs, but yeah.. Really boring. I don't think I'm gonna go to that anymore.

After that was over, went back home and worked on my project. Around 9:00, went to shower or whatever and yeah.. That's about it.


I'm gonna interview Charis tomorrow after I'm done with classes. x_x I figure that since I don't have to go eat dinner before going to the AIAS & CSI meeting, then I will have time to do that.

I still need to do my media sample essay, but I dunno what exactly we're suppose to write. I mean, it's due on Friday, and yeah.. =/ I guess I'll ask the teacher tomorrow.. BLEH! I e-mailed him yesterday, but he didn't respond, so yeah.. x_x

Gotta read my English packet thing. BLEH!

MORNING
I so didn't want to get up this morning.. Was so tired.. But got up anyway, of course. Got ready, changed, then ate my cereal, as usual. After that, packed up my laptop, then walked to school around 7:40.


ARCHITECTURE 131
Worked on drawing some 3-D boxes.. Then had to do a tihree-inch box with half-inch boxes and then had to "take-out" boxes with our pens. He said to freehand them, so I just started, then when I was trying to close it and draw in the slashed lines to show the box underneath, I realized OMG I SHOULDN'T HAVE OUTLINED THAT! and yeah. It sucked.. Made me alll confused, especially when I was trying to add tone to differenciate. x_x I was like whatever 'cause it was already in the middle of break and I was struggling to figure it out and so I just colored what I knew and then turned it in. x_x After break, we all went into the other classroom and the teachers talked about some of the good ones they saw ((and showed them so we could get an idea)). Took some notes and yeah.. Around 11:00, there were all these machines going on outside and when Wiley ((one of the teachers)) was trying to talk, everytime he opened his mouth to say something, a machine would go off. Then it would stop and he would try to talk and it would go off again, haha. We were all laughing. Then after that, a train was going by, so it was making the train noise. After that, he tried to talk again and it just turned 11:00, so the bells started ringing, lol. Yeah.. that was the highlight. XP

After talking about the different compositions, went back to our class and I was basically cleaning up and stuff..

For Wednesday, we have to do it again. BLEH! I want to start over again 'cause I think mine suck. -_- BLEHHHH!~ So tiring.. ;_; I kinda already want to move on 'cause I don't think I'm getting it at all, but I'm kinda scared as to what the new project will be, so yeah...


BREAK
Went back to SG and moved my stuff. Then sat at the computer for a few and did some stuff.. Later, around 1:00, went to go eat lunch. After eating, went back to my room and just talked to [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi on the phone. Around 1:45, started walking to school.


MATH 142
Learned logs today.. BLEH! Lots of homework, as usual...


ENGLISH 134
Got a new schedule thing aobut the homework and stuff. After that, split into groups and traded interview questions so we could look and comment on them and help them come up with five other questions. Did that for the whole period.


AFTERWARDS
Went back to SG and worked on my math homework. Around 5:50 or whatever, Robia asked if I wanted to go eat dinner with her, so I went with and ate. After that, came back to my room and continued with my math homework. He gave us the assignment for tomorrow's homework too, so after I finished tonight's homework, I worked on that. I finished about 3/4 of it. Yay me. XP

Took a look at my pictures and chose the ones that I'm gonna use.. Printed those, then went to shower. Now, I'm here, writing this entry.


I'm hoping that tomorrow, since I'm mostly free, I'm gonna work on the architecture project for most of the morning or something. Also gotta try and start my media sample essay for English, since that's due on Friday. I also plan on interviewing Charis sometime tomorrow, when I get the chance.. BLEHHHH!


I got an e-mail today 'cause I signed up for a math study session thing and it said that we'd meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays @ 1:00 PM, so yeah.. tomorrow, gotta go to that. x_x


I feel so tired.. BLEH!

remula: (Default)
Got up today around 8:00-ish or whatever.. Got ready around 9:45 and then went to go put my laundry in the wash and went to eat breakfast. Went back to my room after and read a little, then went to put my laundry in the dryer. Came back and worked on my math homework -- finished all the exponental equation problems, but still can't do the work problems. x_x Dumb thing. After that, went to get my clothes from the dryer and came back to fold them. After folding, got my stuff ready, attempted to figure out how to use the bus to get to Law's, but what I finally found didn't even work 'cause it only ran on weekdays. x_x So was just like, "Whatever" and walked. It was about 12:15.

Took me 25 minutes to get to Law's. It took forever. x_x And it was burning hot today, with blazing sun and blue skies. =( But yeah, got there and went in looking for rubber cement, but couldn't find any. Asked some girl who worked there, but she said they were out. Was pissed. Went out and called [livejournal.com profile] aznearthdragon and asked her to direct me to the nearest Micheal's. Turns out it was about two and a half miles away and was walking that way, down Broad St. which it's on, and it was hella far. Saw a Staples and was like whatever, went in, they had rubber cement, so bought it there and then walked all the way back. It was so hot and it sucked.

When I hit downtown again, went to Bali's Frozen Yogurt and got some ice cream 'cause I was out of water and it was hot. On the way back from there, saw Kiki ((WOW leader)), said "Hi" and yeah. Continued on home. Detoured to Albertson's and bought milk, then walked back home.

Finally got home around 3:15, dropped off my stuff, then started cutting my illustration board, cutting the pictures, and gluing it onto the board. Then spent the rest of the time working on both the analog and digital versions of the project. It sucks. =/

Around 5:00, Kitto asked if I wanted to go eat dinner, so I went with and it was just me and some of the guys again. Ate my food, then left and came back to work on my project some more.

Continued working on the project until about 8:30, when I went to go take a shower. After that, cleaned up a bit, put some of my stuff away, printed, attached, and trimmed my digital thing for the project, and yeah.. Writing this entry.


I wish there were less projects.. =/ It sucks.. I can't wait until this quarter is over. Only about.. eight and a half more weeks until finals. Come on, Helen.. you can do it! Then next quarter I'll have some freetime! It'll be great. Can't wait..


Today there was a Gym Class Heroes ((and Cobra Starship)) concert in SLO. I kinda wanted to go, even though I don't really listen to Gym Class Heroes just 'cause.. Yeah. I dunno. I just wanted to. But yeah, obviously I didn't. x_x
I dunno if I said it, so.. Yesterday, there was the Boost Mobile Concert thing on MTV2 and I missed it 'cause I was at school. I was trying to record it, but apparently SLO doesn't have normal times 'cause even though commericals said noon for pacific, it wasn't at noon. =( I hate how the schedule is so whack here.. Why can't it just be right so I can actually record what I wanna watch? *sigh*


I need to finish my 20 interview questions for tomorrow.. BLEH! Dumb thing...

I'm just gonna stop writing 'cause I don't want to waste more time. Gotta work...

~Remula

Today...

Oct. 6th, 2006 10:50 pm
remula: (Default)
MORNING
I couldn't really sleep last night 'cause my suitemates were being all loud and stuff, playing music and I don't know what else. It sucked. So this morning, I pressed the snooze, but I wasn't keeping track of the time, so I ended up waking up and it was 7:00 already. x_x I rushed to get ready, change, and eat cereal before packing up my stuff and leaving. It sucked. =/


ARCHITECTURE 131
Did two blind contours of our hands, then went over to the other side of the classroom and drew someone using blind contour. Had to draw them twice. Then drew someone using tone and then we could do whatever for the next one -- I did blind contour again. XP Yeah, you know I love doing blind contour.. mostly 'cause even if it looks bad, it's still good. XP But yeah.. after that, had to draw two chairs and then we had a break. After the break, we had to pin up our projects and then we talked about them. Basically, they're all bad. -_- Like, none of them were good or whatever.. And like, some of them "had potential" but yeah.. went to the other classes to look at theirs and yeah.. same stuff. Too 3-D, only extending, too busy, etc.. Yeah. Basically, we all sucked. And yeah.. After that, went to some other room to watch a presentation about some theory. After that, they told us to start over with the project with new pictures and stuff for Monday. x_x And yeah, even though we talked about it, I'm still confused as to what to do. I don't know at all and it sucks ass. =(


BREAK
Walked back to SG and dropped off my stuff. Kinda just relaxed for a while, then later, went to eat lunch with suitemates and stuff. There was mac and cheese, but it was gross. =/ After that, came back and read for my English class and read some fics and just did nothing. Around 2:45, started walking to school.


ENGLISH 134
Talked about the new due dates for styuff. Basically almost everything is pushed back. That's good. XP But yeah, after that, just talked about the stuff we've read these past two weeks. I was kinda reading my ARCH 105 syllabus at the time, lol. XP But yeah.. lots of laughing, lots of dumb stuff, lots of blah. XP


AFTERWARDS
Went to the bookstore to check if there was any rubber cement, but there wasn't any. =/ Dumb place. After that, walked back to SG and just hung out in my room trying to do math homework. Didn't get much done and yeah.. sucked. Later, around 6:20, went to go eat dinner by myself.. Afterwards, went back to the room and just did basically nothing but listen to music and talk to my boy and girl.

Around 9:30, I finally went to take a shower and then when I was done, I was going back to my room and Robia tells me that Kitto wants to eat mooncake ((Today is the mid-Autumn festival, if you didn't know)). Then they both came into my room and I was just trying to comb my hair and stuff. x_x Put on my glasses so I could see and then got my piece of mooncake and cup of tea ((of which they spilled onto my refridgerator and the things sitting on top)) and then we went out in the hall to eat so they wouldn't totally trash my room. Hung in the hall for a while eating and drinking and talking to the other suitemates in the suite. Afterwards, finished and just went back to my room and yeah..

Didn't go out to look at the moon like Kitto wanted 'cause it was too cloudy.


Tomorrow I'm meeting Valerie at school so we can work on our ARCH 105 project. x_x Sucks.. BLEH! I dun wanna, but yeah.. Meeting at 10:00 'cause that's when the shop opens. x_x So I gotta eat in my room since the cafeteria doesn't open until 10:00. Apparently, there's a pizza party for my building tomorrow too at 12:00, but I'll probably be at school still. =/ Oh wellz..

Tomorrow is also the Boost Mobile Corp Rocks concert or whatever it's called on MTV2 at 12:00. Well, it better be at 12:00 here or else I'll be recording the wrong thing since I won't be home to watch. x_x

I also have to buy rubber cement tomorrow. Probably just walk downtown to get it after I work on my project.. I dunno. I kinda don't want to walk downtown alone though, ya know?

BLEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!~ Life sucks! Why can't it just end?

MORNING
Didn't want to get up this morning 'cause I was finally sleeping pretty well. ARGH! Got up, got ready, ate my Raisin Bran, as usual, used the computer for a little, then packed up my stuff and left. Stuff was heavy, as usual. x_x


ARCHITECTURE 131
Did this one shading thing in the beginning. After that, went into the other classroom and talked about our next project. We basically have to do two contextual design thingies or whatever, each with two pictures we took. One will be digital and one will be by hand. But yeah.. Can't really explain 'cause I dunno how.. BLEH! Oh wellz.. I dunno if I will be doing it alll that great or anything. =/ After that, went back to our class and teacher talked a bit more about the project and showed us what some of the stuff in our kit was used for, then after that, had to go to our desks and choose the four pictures we're gonna use.


BREAK
Walked back to SG and read for my English class and used the computer a little. Aroud 1:00, went to eat lunch, then went back to my room to finish the English reading, then started walking to school around 1:45.


MATH 142
Learned inverses today. BLEH! I hate inverses.. BLEH! Lots of homework, as usual.. *sigh*


ENGLISH 142
Got our essays back. I got a 4 on it, which is equivalent to a C-. =/ Oh well.. I knew it was bad. He wrote a lot of comments ((hard to read)), but the basic jist was that it was confusing and I need to expand more and yeah.. Whatever.. After that, talked about the reading, then had to go around and say who we were interviewing. I said I was gonna interview Charis ((my suitemate)) and that she's a photographer. After that, got our homework changed a bit.. Have to still read from the book, the interview proposal is still due, but we also have to re-write a paragraph from our essay 'cause that's what the reading was about and yeah.. BLEH!


AFTERWARDS
Went to the bookstore to buy illustration board for the architecture project. Also needed rubber cement, but they were out. ARGH! Dumb place.. They dunno if they'll have any in by tomorrow, so.. if they don't, then I'm, like, screwed. I'll have to walk downtown and find that one Law's place or whatever and buy it there. =(

Went back to SG and attempted to work on my English homework, but didn't really get much done. After that, went to eat dinner around 5:20-ish. Finished and then walked to school for the AIAS & CSI meeting. Just turned in my membership papers and my checks. They basically said the same stuff from last meeting 'cause there were so many new people there.. Ended around 6:30 and I walked back to SG and then worked on my math homework. x_x After that, worked on English and I got stuck, so I started writing this entry. =/ I really need to get going on my English though..


I hate English so much.. *sigh* Dumb class.. I need to re-write that essay for a better grade, but I don't have time right now.. But I dunno how to re-write a paragraph right now.. It's so hard 'cause I'm trying to redo the intro and yeah.. Sucks. Good thing this essay is part of the homework category and not the essay category. I don't have to stress as much about redo-ing it all fast and stuff.. But yeah...

I dunno what else to write for my proposal 'cause like, I already covered the basics and it's only, like, two sentences or whatever. Only three and a half lines, ya know? And I know on the paper it says that it has to be less than a page, but I'm sure he's probably expecting half a page at least and yeah.. I don't have thoughts! x_x


I think I'm at a B right now in English since we've only had things in the homework category and everything that's graded that we got back so far averages into a B. =/

I think I have a B in math too 'cause we only got one math homework back so far and haven't taken any tests yet. The homework I got back was a B, so yeah..


I hate having so much work to do.. It's like, I never have time to do anything anymore. I've never felt so busy in my life and it's like, can't the workload go down a little? I dunno.. Less math, less English or whatever.. I mean, I guess I'm fine with the fact that my major classes have a bunch of projects 'cause I expected that, especially from architecture, ya know, but still.. GE classes shouldn't give so much homework, IMO. Everyone else I know ((not in my GE classes)) have like, practically no homework to do in there and it's like, WTF, why did I get stuck with teachers who like to give work? =/

I like to complain a lot.. *sigh*


I hate Wednesdays 'cause that's my busiest day with the classes and the clubs.. *sigh* Dumb thing..

Well, I guess I'm gonna shower now and then go back to finishing my English. *sigh* Laterz..

MORNING
So I woke up around 5:30 and was like, 'Why the fuck am I awake?' and went back to sleep and then woke up again when the alarm clock read 6:29 ((ten minutes ahead, if you don't know me and my alarm clock preferences)). So I was waiting for the alarm to ring, but it didn't ring! So I got up at 6:31 ((read 6:31)), turned on the light, then looked at the alarm and saw that it wasn't even set. x_x 'Cause, like, last night, I didn't look at it like I usually would to set it, and like, at home, I push the thing all the way to the left to set it, but this clock, I have to push it all the way to the right to set it and I forgot, so yeah. Pushed it to the left and it's off. x_x Oh wellz. Got up and got ready, ate my Raisin Bran, then got my stuff ready and walked to school.


ARCHITECTURE 131
Did the tone/shading exercise thing, where you have the boxes and you shade them from dark to light or whatever.. ya know what I'm talking about. After that, went into the other classroom and had a question and answer thing about the project. Then had a break for about 15 minutes. After that, set out our pictures, walked around looking at them, then we had to choose some to post up and talk about. Talked about some of the pictures, then went into the other two classrooms to look at their pictures. After that, got homework that I don't understand, then left.


BREAK
Walked back to SG. So heavy.. Got there, worked on my English homework, went to eat lunch, went back to my room to finish my English, then read a fic, then went back to school.


MATH 142
Went over homework quickly, then went over shell. BLEH! So boring.. I never understand anything. =/ Oh wellz.. Well, it's not like I don't understand, but the teacher's so boring and stuff and I can't pay attention well. I was sleepy again and wanting to sleep.. BLEH. Got homework, then left.

ENGLISH 134
Went over the reading we had to do, then talked about our next essay. Gotta interview someone and write a profile. =( I dunno who to interview.. *sigh* We need to know by Wednesday. =( But yeah.. after that, did some group thing where we talked about thesises ((What the hell is the plural for thesis? @_@)). Class was over after that.


AFTEREWARDS
Went to the bookstore to buy mailing labels 'cause if the stuff I ordered from Staples doesn't come tomorrow, I'm not gonna be screwed over for the CD, 'cause, like, we don't have to turn in the CD until Wednesday (('cause people said he didn't say we needed to turn one in)), so yeah. I won't kill myself if UPS doesn't come through.

After paying $17 for freakin' labels, walked back to SG and did my math homework. Took a break to eat with my suitemates since they were going to eat, then went back and finished my math. Dunno how to do my architecture homework, so yeah. =/

I need to shower still.. BLEH!
