St. Who?


It's come and gone...
And frankly, I had a wonderful time (sorry to all you haters out there...)



I cooked Ginger Chicken with Shallots and Wild Mushrooms, with plenty of help from Stacy. 8)
And it turned out to be incredibly delicious, and actually rather easy.
Then, we watched two DVD's before going to bed... (The Man Who Knew Too Little and Sneakers)
Awoke at noonish, had lunch, and I dropped her off at 2.
So that was fun...



But the lack of sleep is killing me. All day today I had this incredible, world-rending, beat my brain THROUGH my facial pores headache. Yeouch. I took 6 Tylenol (ES) and it's just waiting in the weeds now to jump me again. And I also have a huge, overwhelming amount of work. Yes!



Can someone tell me what I should be doing with my life? It seems all I do is work, and then there's these brief glimpses of something better before I'm swallowed again. Is that something better Real Life(tm)? Or what is it? Maybe I just need to get to the good stuff in my major again.



The class I THOUGHT was going to be a great, easy, and fun class, ECE 249 - Electronics Lab I, is turning into a nightmare. Imagine this. You have a selection of parts you can use to build a certain machine. However, you know there's a part, easily obtainable and quite common, that would make your machine incredibly simple. However, arbitrarily, instead of letting you have that part, they require you to build it out of smaller, crappier parts. And then, after you've built this machine a certain way, they surprise you in class with a new way of hooking it up, that you've not taken into account. And you have over 80 parts to rebuild. In 3 hours.
My god. I'm going to get an ulcer.



I feel: Wiped =|
