right now it’s 2am, and i’m in the tresidder lair for the first time. why?
the story: for weeks, now, no–months, even–i’ve known that i had a 10 page paper due tomorrow [today], june 5th. and yet, miraculously, i avoided even thinking about it until roughly 6 hours ago. at that point, i thought long and hard about which topic i might want to do, and then decided to play return to castle wolfenstein, a new, wonderful, computer game where you run around and shoot nazis, cyborg monsters, and even the undead. fun, strategy, and carnage, for a few hours. eventually i picked the topic with the least number of letters in the prompt, and started working. pretty soon i had my introductory paragraph, so i played some more computer games. i realized immediately, that at that rate, there were not enough hours left in which to finish the paper before it was due. ah well–i keep wanting adventure, and now i’ve got it. so here i am–pulling my first (second? third?) all-nighter of the quarter.
i’ll just shoot some recent news out there in rapid-fire mode:
- i got the summer job i applied for at a medical reserach laboratory at the stanford hospital. i’ll be doing web design and possibly other programming projects. so i’ll be staying in kingscote until september, when i go to portugal and home for a month.
- i’ve got a show tomorrow night [tonight] (june 5) at 9:30pm at the coho! please come! hopefully i will be awake then, though it’s looking grim.
- i went climbing on sunday at castle rock with dan, and it was tons of fun, though i was really week from not having done anything for a while
- trip to dallas this weekend was cancelled for lack of a cheap plane ticket, and because now there’s a lot of things here i need to take care of in order to get the summer rolling
- i finally sold my computer [again], bought a new, much-improved minidisc player and sold my old player. i love su.market
- been doing some ASP coding recently, and i have some plans for the blog, muhahah
- oh yeah, i have a spanish presentation due tomorrow, crap.
- i work best under pressure. bring it on.
