melancholy mix

an update for all my adoring fans.

week 1 is over. whew, it was long. i am taking 17 hours or strictly cs and ece classes. w00t...or not.

andrea and i have not killed each other yet. that is good. nor do i think we will be desiring that at any point in the near future. we definitely went "walmarting" friday on the bus. just a little taste of china all over again. it took three hours. i think norman needs better public transportation. perhaps buses that run more frequently than once every hour.

we had a meeting for engineers without borders. it was good. i'm feeling a lot better about it. especially since there are deadlines involved. deadlines work well for me usually.

i was looking at my degree sheet for my major the other day and i came to the brilliant conclusion that i need only 29 more hours to graduation. that's 2 semesters folks. but i don't think it'll happen that soon because of a little thing called study abroad. i went by their office friday and picked up a flier for ireland. w00t! i could be here next fall. that would be amazing.

i got back from the RUF shindig and asked andrea "do you know what i really feel like doing right now?" to which she replied "walkies?" only we didn't actually do much walking. but that's okay, we had a good tete a tete even though it didn't involved walmart or fountains.

went to the huff this afternoon with -a and we did the rowing machines. about midway through some guy starts trying to use the rowing machine next to us and is asking us about it and generally making small talk while we were rowing. he started rowing and when andrea and i left she asked me if i knew him and i answered in the negative. she had been pretty certain he was a friend of mine, but he wasn't. yay for friendly guys at the huff.

incidentally, andrea and i are going to be completely buff by the end of the semester. everyone prepare to be amazed.

so, andrea just informed me that her professor was quoted in her religion and foreign policy book. i think it'd be pretty cool if one of my professors was quoted in her religion and foreign policy book. i think i'm going to make it one of my lifetime goals to get quoted in a book completely unrelated to my field of study. i'm already making a great start. i got quoted in the oudaily (see last paragraph) saying that i was a football fan. oh, the irony. what has college done to my values...

in case you haven't noticed, andrea was mentioned in this post a lot. that's because we spend a lot of time together and i expect this will be the case for quite awhile. i hope you can deal with that.

at this point i'm majorly procrastinating doing my homework for electronics lab that's due tomorrow. i don't understand diodes and i've completely forgotten everything from last semester. grrr.

on that note, hope everyone had a better first week than i did. peace.
