11:51 pm - Studizzling.
|
Wow, I haven't updated this bitch in a long while.
So from the looks of things, last time was 1st semester of second year... so far things have come a long way.
It's summer exam time, and I couldn't be more concentrated on everything else but the task at hand, which would be to pass all my classes.
What really bites:
-real analysis in it's worst form: a super happy perky teacher by the name of monica nevins, who actually rocks balls, but the subject... oh god never again.
-French class with french teachers from France. 'sup with there attitudes eh? sheesh-kabob.
-exams, especially the amount of theory you need to cram in your brain to pass with a decent grade. Fuck, there's like infinite ways of saying a series of functions uniformally converge. To hell with that.
What sorta doesn't bite:
-Group Theory, although the exam tommorow... soo not ready, especially with a guy like Pestov teaching, way hardcore.
-Discrete Mathematics... ha. easy pass fo' sho'. Plus J.Koo (joseph Khoury) is the shizzle bizzle.
anyways the real reason i came online was to vent cause i can't sleep right now... tommorow morning is d-day for my first big exam and ive got the butterflies.
wish me all luck and hope for summer to come soon.
out.

6:05 pm - The brouhaha!
|
What the blood clot, I rap alot!
Word up to all, from a long and needed break from Lj. Tons and tons of fun events happening lately in my life. Some less fun. But hey, you can't have it all... OR CAN I? *queues mysterious music* dum dum DUM!
University life is back in full effect, after a 4 month hiatus. Finally passed that CSI1501 class this summer... so the deal was, I went from an E to a B... How, *insert supreme being's name here*'s green earth, did I manage that? Pretty nuts eh? I'm very proud of myself. The new year seems promising; I'll be overwhelemed maybe with the math course loads but then again, I knew what I was getting myself in. For those who want to know, it looks a little like this:
-MAT 2771 intro probability (yuk. I'm lost already)
-MAT 2541 honours algebra 1 (juicy stuff!)
-MAT 2731 differential equations and numerical methods (how lame)
-MAT 2522 Cal 3 (not bad, good prof, intense theory sessions!)
-PHI 1101 Critical thinking and reasoning... something along those lines (meh, makes for an easy class)
So far, things have been reasonably packed, but I can see it getting alot worse... soon. Going to have to cut socializing/hobbies/health in half... or some other
I've been on this intense downloading spree, check this list out:
-Bjork : medulla (new cd is the shizz!)
-all the foo fighter albums
-all the radiohead albums
-the new bob marley greatest hits
-A couple of Sigur Ros albums
-Some Autechre, but i don't think I nearly love it as much as my cousin Vorpal (forgot how to make those snazzy tags to link)
Gotta bounce, the cocaine is calling out my name!
current mood:  sleepy
current music: Bjork - Who was it

12:42 pm - w00t!!!

School is out for 4 months... now all is left is to figure out if I passed that stupid computers course. God damnit, I used to be really good with computers, I guess I lost it out of hate against those fucking machines. Oh well, no use in wallowing in self-pitty now is there?
I finally made a huge switch in my life. I went from a B. Sc. honors in math to a B.A. honors in math. As long as I can move up to a masters, i believe this will be best for me. Not only will I be able to keep all the same math classes, but I'll actually be able to explore what fun things university has to offer. Doing this, I'll avoid learning about gross shit like C++ or even taking a course on torturous data structures... Maybe in the end, it's not what's best for my career goals and it probably won't make my path to sucess any easier, but I think I'll be happier this way.
Anyways, enough depressing shit, I think I'm going to go out and enjoy the weather. I've been thinking about buying this book that seems super interesting; "A New Kind Of Science" by Stephen Wolfram. Some of you might know him, he's an accomplished author/professor/superman, just wondering if any of you have read this before. Opinions? I'm sorta scared on shelling out precious cash.
Payce.

throwback is such a popular term these days. Everything is "throwback". I mean, if your cool, you're definitely "throwback". ARgh to popular key terms.
Anyways, as you might be able to deduce, i am back... probably not for a long while. School has def. been taking up all my time these days; I've been transformed into a serious nerd. Oh yeah, and snowboarding, working out have taken up tons of time too... always got time for snowboarding.
for those who care: Comp Sci . B, CAL1 . D, Geo . B, Alg . B, Phy1 . B
yay for first semester over. Just about to complete second semester. Exam schedual looks impossible once again. What is it with ruining first year students' lives? Is 4 exams in 4 days a good way to say: "welcome to university!"?
for those who care: so far my classes in second term are looking like this:
Comp Sci2 . D, Cal2 . A- (wtf, how do i go from a D in cal1 to a A- in Cal2?!?!), French . B+ (i think), Phy2 . D, Logics . A
fun stuff eh? I'm seriously contemplating going to Math - Arts instead of Math - Sci, but im afraid i'll be looked down upon the math gods for relenquinshing the science side of things. That, and not getting a good job.
So if things keep going up for me (looks like it, at least), i think i could seriously see myself moving on to a masters or something (still got 3 years to go, dont remind me!)
If anyone out there has info on wether or not Math-Art students are shunned and mocked at frequently please let me know... I just think it would be a good idea to mix some philosophie classes with my Math major.
Payce.

11:17 pm - the nile is a river you moron.
|
hot dog, i'm updating again. Seems like it's been a really long while since I've updated... actually it has. You might wonder why... or not. It's been a real downer these past few days and updating a meaningless journal seems kinda, well, meaningless to me at this point.
There's nothing to say, nothing I have done that I feel will get people interested in reading my journal. I guess it's me being uncreative right now.
The past week was a real killer... frosh week. All my ideas and images that I made of this magical week have gone down the drain. I basiclly wasted it loathing in self-pity in my basement, watching countless ammounts of movies... really bad ones at that (except bowling for columbine was sweet!)
Tommorow is the official start date. I'll be the big eric on campus. Starting off with what seems to be an interesting course... geology. Why do I have that course in my math oriented future? I don't know. It seemed cool. Maybe it's this mystical calling. Then I head off to a wonderful algebra class... I'm going to freak out soon, so if I pass out, call my mother; tell her my corpse is rotting away in the freezer :P
I'm not sure if I'm stoked or not. But I guess we'll find out really soon.

Word up.
I haven't updated in a while (while = about 2 weeks...), because frankly, things haven't been that interesting. Well, some stuff has happened.
Last week was spent at the university at my refresher's course. I can honestly say that in all my life, this is the time I've been the most unsure about something. This whole choice of going into math happened super randomly during the past school year. I thought I was good at it, and by being good at it, I enjoyed it. Well let me tell you, when I stepped in that class, oh boy. I knew for a fact that calculus would be my downfall, but holy fuck was it ever boring/hard. I hate calculus, it's soo unelegant (is that a word?). Algebra was okay, there was only a couple of things here and there that concerned me, but the professor wasn't all that great to begin with. Ah the joy and fun of stress.
As well as attending that class, alot of the week was spent with marie-claude... and the ex. We make an interesting threesome of friends (no sex pun intended). Ever since I've had the talk about my ex feeling as though she's the third wheel, things have been pretty smooth in between all three of us. Spending time with sophie has been really nice... I don't think its the healthiest choice, but when's the last time I ever made a healthy choice eh? Gosh I really like that girl. Too bad lately we've been fighting again. I sort of went out of line in our last argument by swearing alot, but she had no right to push me around... I guess I just snapped. Well things are going better, I think.
It's so weird how I've been missing marie-claude; she's gone on a trip for a week (which started last saturday). I guess when you spend so much time with a person, withdrawl is bound to happen right? right. She witnessed my first homerun *taps myself on the back*. It's funny how she's been attending all my sporting events (fastball, soccer, etc)... Holy crap my ideas aren't flowing at all. brain disfunction.
A week and a half, and it'll be the time of the reckoning... University is sooo near by. I have the biggest feeling I'm going to freak out with the whole big change issue. For those who don't know, I deal somewhat badly with change. Changing schools in 5th grade made me a total nutcase, going to highschool for the first time landed me with a psychologist, not being able to be with my regular friends in 7th and 8th grade got me totally depressed, wonder what first year will be like...
anyways off to being a total dork and playing some warcraft 3 ( I have my brother's computer for the next 3 days so it's gaming, gaming, gaming for me!)
out.

1:44 am - hey man, everybody's doing it...
|
This isn't healthy for me.
Tommorow is the first of five days at a mathematics refresher course @ Ottawa U. I'm getting really anxious to hop out of bed and get ready. It's 2am and I gotta get up at 7am... fuck I'm stupid aren't I?
Hopefully I'll have a good time. I'll try not to look like a complete loser in front of the class. This is going to be so weird... Basiclly the first full day i'll be spending at the university. Wonder what'll be like...
This past weekend has been really interesting and fun. I spent friday and saturday with Marie-Claude (re: past posts). Friday, I was supposed to go see SWAT but opted for movie rentals because of a sold out show. We watched "Snatch" at my place (hilarious story) and decided it would be best to watch "xXx" at her's (stupidest movie, but entertaining as fuck when you're mind is like mush). I passed out at her place, thus meaning I woke up the next morning wondering "wtf?". I somehow managed to concot a bed out of the couch pillows and some blankets left on the side. Morning time came along, we tried cooking stuff (smoothies, chicken wings, fruits, human flesh). Saturday night was spent watching my brother playing fastball in his final provincial tournament... I must say, he's pretty fucking awesome. I've been probably playing the game longer than he has and he's a million times better than me. Marie-Claude came along for the spectacle. The night was stressful but my brother eventually came out on top with the team. Brought back Marie-Claude at night. Fought with the ex over this stupid idea she has of being the third wheel... i don't get her... what does she care??? like fuck, If i had my way, i'd like to go out sometimes with her, see if we could fix things. But yet, this whole jealousy thing kicks in, I figure it must be because she likes me a bit, but in the end she doesn't... she's playing with my mind i tells ya! it's all about wanting what she can't have, but when i tell her i still like her, alls i get is total rejection. ah well, fuck it! *in a chinese accent* I'rr pray arong!
Sunday was wake up, watch my brother finish off his tournament with a 2nd place finish. Unfortunately they lost in the finals (boo hoo). I was harassing the players from the other team on the plate so much so that I got a warning from the umpire to quit it or else he'd toss me. So then I started telling the batter from our team where the ball was heading (because i could see the catcher's glove indications) and i got a second warning... ha!
Took a shower, went out for a cheap ass workout with my ex... wtf.
Tonight: played some good old console games on the gamecube... Fifa, you are a darn phat game!
I'm tired and nauseous.
out.

I've been on a downloading frenzy lately... for music. So far my collection of mp3's has now gone back up past the 26 albums mark and a couple hundred random mp3s.
Things I've downloaded lately:
.Alien Ant Farm - Truant (good stuff)
.Audioslave - Audioslave (freaking awesome)
.Count The Stars - Never Be Taken Alive (typical pop-punk stuff, its okay)
.Fun Lovin Criminals - The Collection (eh not what I expected from these guys)
.Gob - Foot In Mouth Disease (getting boring, they need to hit their old stuff more)
.The All American Rejects - The All American Rejects (somewhat crappy album.)
.The Ataris - So Long Astoria (it's okay)
.Thrice - The Illusion Of Safety (crazy cd)
.Thrice - The Artist In The Ambulance (haven't listened to it yet. Will do soon)
I'm in the process of getting the new Dashboard Confessional cd... their single is pretty sweet, hopefully they'll have like one cheer-up song. No but seriously, that guy needs to cheer up sometimes.
I guess I could say I'm somewhat of an audiophile. Well not really, since I listen to my music on my ghetto computer and/or my MD. I'm a stickler for headphones; I really enjoy getting new headphones (like those really huge kiq ass ones). Seriously if anyone wants to get me these headphones:
Check them out
Please get them for me.
I can wish, right?
Saw Amercian Wedding yesterday night... It was a good movie. I saw it with my ex, a couple and another friend. How did it go? bad. After the movie, I was mostly ignored half the night or argued with (with whom else but herself). I stayed afterwards when everyone else had left, but then it was late, so I decided to split. I'm sorta getting used to it by now; the whole awkwardness between us... It's obvious we can't be friends. But for now I'll let it slide.
I'm not going to get all caught up again in this whole cycle, it's retarded. I got soo much waiting for me in the near future, I can't wait. Snowboarding season is right along the corner and I've got big plans for this winter.
Oh and another thing: Marie-Claude mentionned to me that a ticket to halifax is 150$, and if we wanted to, we could stay over at her mom's apartment (long story, her mom is half the time in halifax, the other in ottawa; buisness reasons). I'm not sure if this is going to fall through or if she even remembers proposing this to me, but if it does, I'M SOOO UP FOR IT!
La Ronde, this wednesday! w00t!
out.
ps: I saw the movie "SPUN"... it wasn't that great. And brittany murphy plays a whore again in this movie. a crystal-meth whore! lol!

Why do bad things happen to me all the time?
I never get a break. No really, I never do.
This morning I got a letter from the U of O; supposedly, they haven't gotten my transcripts for my last three courses, get this, IN HIGH SCHOOL... Uhh, is it just me, or does that not sound like it shouldn't be my job to be sending in my FUCKING TRANSCRIPTS!
"Hey, so where's my scholarship and burseries at home boys?"
"Sorry, you're retarded and so are your counsellors."
"..."
No, but seriously, what's going to happen to all that money I was planning on getting?! That means all those burseries I applied for, I WON'T BE GETTING THEM BECAUSE SOMEBODY FORGOT TO SEND IN MY TRANSCRIPTS.
Hopefully, things will get straightened out.
But knowning my luck, they won't just because that's how life enjoys fucking me in the ass.

1:28 am - gut-two-gang-teal
|
I'm sorta mixed right now. My night was ruined but then it was good. (sorta at the expense of my feelings, bah whatever).
I was supposed to get together with an old friend of mine to go check out this d00d's band. She later called me, at the exact time before departure, and told me no one else wanted to go and she sorta lacked the energy... so i said fuck it, we'll do it some other time.
Anyways, earlier in the day, Sophie (cough, ex) and I went out to purchase her baby... aka her snowboard. She was supposed to purchase a Burton Feel Good (*drools*) but instead opted for a Rossignol Diva (*drools*). Although I'm not too fond of her choice in bindings, I think the ones she has (old pair of Burton Freestyles) will do fine.
***sidenote: i think snowboarding has to be one of my favorite passtimes... i don't know, i guess it's just something about being with some of your closest friends and just riding around in the pow that makes it cool. I wish i could get a job that has to do with snowboarding, but i think i suck too much for that.***
After the purchase, we proceeded back to her car. She asked me what my plans were for the night:"well, i think i'm going out with an old friend, so i'm busy"
"oh that's too bad, i wanted to bum around and rent a couple of movies."
So all in all, my night didn't go that bad... I hung out with her, watched Van Wilder for the n-illionth time and The New Guy, a super corny comedy. I got 4 Subway cookies out of the whole deal. Score!
Here's a picture of me being silly:

4:06 am - LügenburgSTEIN!

Things that happen while I'm recovering:
-Spent the day (saturday), with marie-claude. We went out shoppinks at the Tommy and Lefebvre warehouse sale (which i enjoy attending at least once a year, sorta like a religion). I got myself a nice winter hat and some kiq ass Burton snowboard pants... I believe these are the pants that I got http://www.burton.com/gear/pr_jackets_pants.asp?productID=124
Alot of the day after that was spent at my house just talking, consuming a booster juice for the sake of my health and stuff like that.
-The night was spent at a friend's bbq. Couldn't fucking eat at all... plus I was stuck cooking the fucking food mostly. I mean I could've probably just left it there to burn, but being the nice guy that I am, I stuck around! ;) Pictures of my swollen face to come. I'm sure that the image that you all have of me in your minds will be tarnished.
I went to bed tonight at 10:30pm!!! My body has a serious lack of energy/maintenance/mass lately. I just woke up, and right now it's about 4:06am. Attempting to head back to bed will be a challenge.
wish me luck.
