I surely failed my programming test today, but that's ok because:
- I just watched 2 episodes of Mythbusters
- Coke Zero tastes just like regular Coke
- I'm running errands tomorrow
- Snow Patrol and The Fray kick a- (Run and How To Save A Life, seriously)
- "Tejer" is spanish for "to knit" (and "bufanda" is spanish for "scarf")
- Effing Grey's Anatomy and CSI tomorrow night

Well, duh, no wonder I hate this semester so much - I basically have a freaking math class every day of the week! Computer science (aka: logical reasoning) MWF and structures (aka: physics) TR - and they cancelled the one class that I was planning on enjoying immensely (architecture history). Combine that hellacious reality with the fact that I am in class until 9PM or 6PM Monday-Thursday and you pretty much have the award-winning recipe for a God-awful Fall 2006.

P.S. Apologies, I've just spent the past 3 hours teaching myself about logical operators and do loops (did you know that the value of !x && y && z-1 when x=2, y=3, and z=6 is 0? Did you care? Neither did I.) so you'll understand that my nerves are a little frayed.

I've read and pretty much understood 2 of the 3 chapters that I'm supposed to know for my programming test on Wednesday. Now, I'm well aware that I need to do a lot more than just read the chapters, but I still felt pretty good about having accomplished that much until I looked at the sample test and couldn't answer a single question on it. I am so effing screwed.

How come I always wind up hating my major during fall semesters? Last year I was so fed up with it that I was thisclose to changing it and now I'm wondering what could have possibly been so magical about last spring that made me decide to stick with it. Admittedly, political science would have been a terrible choice, but the "I love watching the news so I'd enjoy poli sci" rationale was ridiculous anyway. I can, however, properly justify wanting to be an English/Spanish major - I've enjoyed reading since kindergarten, the best thing about this semester so far has been writing a report on Fallingwater, I love correcting grammar of both the english and spanish persuasions, and when I saw the word "estare" on my spanish phrase calendar this morning my little heart fluttered with future tense entusiasmo. Seriously, I can form eloquent english sentences with the best of them y sabes lo que yo estoy escribiendo? Puedes leerlo sin pensando? No? Yo puedo. Puedo porque espanol no es complicada para mi. He aprendido mucha de la lengua y si no la use, olvidare. Ten hours of combined english and spanish AP credit and yet when I talk to people about my major I have to correct them when they assume that I am artistic. Confound much?

Ignore this, I'm full of crap.

I watched the complete first season of Grey's Anatomy yesterday. Every last episode. I wish my birthday was earlier so I could get the second season before December. Oh well I guess...

I'm enjoying fall more this year than I ever have before (ok, technically it's still summer but it doesn't really feel like summer that much anymore so I'm going to take all the "fall" that I can get). I really want to go to New Mexico but that won't be possible until spring break so um, camping anyone!? Seriously.
