Stupid ARCH 105 project...

Woke up around 6:30 or whatever 'cause the radio went off.. Tried to go back to sleep, but finally gave up around 7:30 and got up. Turned on the laptop and went online for a while.. Read some fics, talked to [livejournal.com profile] bobbleheadvi 'cause he called me, and yeah.. Around 9:00, went to go get ready and then ate cereal. After that, got my stuff, then left for school around 9:45. Got to the support shop right when they were opening it. Waited around for Valerie, then went in and attempted practicing for a while, then I was like "Fuck it" and just started on the final. My sliding dovetail was VERY loose and yeah.. The box joint was horrible 'cause it was loose and didn't stay and it was badly cut on the bandsaw. x_x

FYI for whoever wants to know, I broke one bandsaw. After that, the tech people were fixing it and so I went to use the other bandsaw next to little a few minutes later.. And yeah, broke that one too. Tech people fixed it and yeah... Let's just say that the bandsaws at Cal Poly just don't like me. x_x

When I was doing the mortise and tenon joint thing, it was.. bad. My wood came out all crappy on the back 'cause it cracked it and stuff. BLEH! Attemped to sand it to make it fit 'cause it wasn't, but yeah.. Took forever, but finally, it fits in, even though it looks shitty. x_x Dumb thing.. I hope mine isn't the only one that looks and fits together like crap. But yeah.. I cut off one end of the dovetail and attempted it again. It was better, but still loose. *sigh* x_x

I gave up on the wood portion of the project around 2:30 or whatever. Went over to the machine shop area and started working on my metal thing. It was MUCH easier than the wood and you get to be more creative. I spot welded my first two pieces, then later I did a pop rivet. I did another spot weld for my next joint, then later on, one of the tech people soldered my pieces together. After that, added one more curve thing with a pop rivet, then it was like 4:15 and I decided I had enough.

I was hungry, tired, and just wanted to go home. Waited in line to get my Poly Card back 'cause you need to give it to them to check in and yeah.. Took forever.. I didn't leave until about 4:40. x_x

When I was walking, called my boy and girl and talked to them on the way home. Got back to my room and dropped off my stuff and then sat at the computer to check my mail and stuff, then went to eat dinner around 5:10. The guys were going out to eat at the same time, so went to eat with them ((my suitemates were all gone...)). So yeah, it was me and about seven guys. I felt kinda awkward.. I mean, not 'cause I was the only girl with a bunch of guys, 'cause CTA? Full of guys. No, it was 'cause I don't really hang out with the guys that much and yeah.. It was kinda weird? But whatever.. Went, got my food, and just sat and ate. There wasn't much talking 'cause we were mostly just eating. But yeah, maybe they felt awkward too 'cause I was the only girl there and they were having their maybe guy-ish conversations? I know at times they were trying not to offend me, like when they were talking about how drunk Noelle was last night ((I wouldn't know 'cause I was asleep. Sounded interesting to see though! And no, what they were saying didn't offend me 'cause she got drunk on her own and if she looked stupid, well, that's all her and I don't care that they were talking shit about it 'cause what do you expect? But yeah, they were all, "Not that's she's bad or anything" or whatever to me after a bit of that conversation, so yeah..)). But anyway..

Yeah, I ate a lot 'cause I was starved. Had a hotdog, hamburger, fries, and fruit. All the other guys just either got a hotdog or hamburger and whatever side stuff. I felt kinda pig-ish and yeah.. They were probably thinking, "Damn, she eats a lot!" or something, lol. Oh wellz. I don't care if people think that. I hate girls who don't eat anything anyway. XP

After we finished eating, we were basically just sitting there and doing nothing. I didn't want to leave since that's rude to leave when the people you came with aren't done eating, ya know? But yeah, then they saw some people from my suite or whatever and were like, "Oh shit" and stuff. I was just like, whatever 'cause yeah. I dunno. Then they were like, "Let's wait for them to sit, then we'll leave" so we sat and then they came and sat down at the table behind us 'cause there was no room at our table, and the guys were all trying not to laugh and I was trying not to laugh at them 'cause they were all being retarded and stuff, then Kitto was like, "I'm getting coffee" and then everyone at our table just picked up our trays and left, lol.

Went to check my mail and then went back to my room. Been listening to music and just writing this entry since then, basically. Looked up some advising stuff, but yeah..


Tomorrow will be a very busy day for me. I gotta go get rubber cement, work on my ARCH 131 project, do my math homework, finish my interview questions, do laundry, and go buy milk. x_x

I called up Law's, an arts and crafts store downtown, and asked their times for tomorrow and they're open from 12:00 to 5:00, so I'll be going downtown around 12:00 tomorrow to get rubber cement. So my plan is basically...

Whatever - 9:30 // Sleep or freetime or whatever.
9:30 - 10:00 // Get ready and stuff.
10:00 - 10:35 // Start laundry, eat brunch, and do whatever.
10:35 - 11:20 // Put laundry in the dryer, work on interview questions ((if not already finished)), work on math homework.
11:20 - 11:30 // Get laundry and fold.
11:30 - 1:30 // Walk downtown, go to Law's, buy rubber cement, go to any other place I want if I have time, then walk back home. Also go to Albertson's to buy milk and whatever else I need.
1:30 - 2:00 // Measure, cut, and glue pictures to illustration board.
2:00 - 3:00 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
3:00 - 3:30 // Do math homework.
3:30 - 4:30 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
4:30 - 5:00 // Interview questions ((if not already finished)), math homework ((if not already finished)), or freetime.
5:00 - 5:30 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
5:30 - 6:00 // Eat dinner.
6:00 - 6:30 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
6:30 - 7:00 // Freetime.
7:00 - 8:00 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
8:00 - 8:30 // Shower.
8:30 - 9:30 // Work on analog and digital versions of ARCH 131 project.
9:30 - Whenever // Freetime.

Yeah.. that sounds good for now. I dunno, subject to change, of course, but hopefully I'll work on the project at all those times and actually get some good things done.


Anywayz.. My schedule for next quarter looks something like this, so far... ((Just because I look thinking about this earlier and all...))

ARCH 132 // 8:00-12:00 MWF
PHYS/HNRS 141 // 1:00-2:00 MTRF ((Hopefully it'll be Honors..))
ENGL 145 or whatever for the A3 requirement // ???

So.. it'll be basically like what I have now, since math is just replaced with physics and English is replaced with more English. The only difference are the times. And I'll have Tuesday and Thursday mornings off, unless I can find an A3 class on TR between 8:00-12:00. But yeah, that probably won't happen, so.. Yeah. But that'll be great to have those two mornings off. OMG, I can actually have time to go and do stuff. XD Well, get stuff for ARCH class and work on ARCH projects, of course. And do homework, haha. XD But yeah, the A3 class will probably be from 2:00-3:00. XD


Last night, I bought my Amtrak ticket to go home for Thanksgiving! XD I'm so excited now! XD I'm leaving on Monday, November 20 @ 4:25 and getting to San Diego at 12:50 in the morning. XD So ditching my Tuesday classes. XP But yeah, after English on Monday, I have to rush home, grab my stuff, then rush to the Amtrak station a couple blocks away. They say to get there about 30 minutes ahead of time, but I can't do that 'cause class doesn't get out until 4:00. =/ Hopefully we get out a little early that day?


Okay, I need to stop now. I've been writing this too long. Will write more later or whatever..

Stupid Wednesdays...

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..
