Happy Birthday, Nicole!!

February 12th, 2004

Today was Nicole's 21st birthday. I don't have much to really say about myself today, other than I spent as much time with Nicole as possible without skipping class. A bunch of us went out to dinner and treated her. We gave her gifts, and we did stuff. That's really what today was about, Nicole.

So we lost…again…

February 11th, 2004

Well, some things never change. Princeton once again found a way to suck royally in basketball when playing Penn. I feel like I'm watching John Cooper's Buckeye's against Michigan; we can beat everyone, except for our rival. Oh well, everything else in my life is pretty good, so it's not a huge problem.

Tomorrow is Nicole's 21st birthday. I hope she has a good day; she deserves to have a good birthday. She's awesome, and yeah…not much else I can say about that.

In other news, classes are going well, I'm thinking that I will like all of my classes this semester, and that's how I want it. I want to end on a good note having a good time and learning a lot. I can just smell the goodness of this semester. At some point, I will talk about my classes, until then, I'm just going to say they are good.

So, things are good. Life is good. Talk to ya later.

All over again

February 10th, 2004

So work has been alright. Most of what I've been doing is graphics, but that's to be expected. I'm not writing much, I'm a bit tired. Sigh, the server is being strange, had some issues with the raid array, so I had to backup and now I have to rebuild and restore the array. At least I didn't lose the OS data.

Late Evening Musings

February 6th, 2004

I'm really not tired. This is a problem. I want to go to bed. I should go to bed. Just not ready to. So, I think I'll rant.

First off, I decided that I would attempt writing my ex from high school, Emily. I guess I just felt that I should try to get in touch with her, see how she's doing. I sometimes look back and feel bad about how things ended. Had it been now, and not three and a half years ago, I probably would have handled it better. Hopefully she doesn't hate me, I'd heard that I wasn't someone she ever wanted to hear about, but maybe time has healed those wounds. Only time will tell.

I talked to my friend Kristen today, and the subject of camp came up. Now, I don't like to harp on the bad, but the camp is seriously going to hell in a hand basket. I've lost touch with those running it, but I can definetly tell. As of now, the website links to a discussion board that doesn't work, it's page counter is code lifted from last years site and it isn't working right anymore. They really don't update the page at all. Sigh…It's sad to see such an integral part of my life falling apart, but a lot of us saw this coming.

A lot of the problems really come down to how the camp is being run. While the current director, Jamie, is a good guy, he's not much in terms of running anything. Well, the true problem is that Jamie really lacks vision. He isn't capable of seeing what is new and exciting and teaching that. If you're going to run a computer camp, you have to have a true sense of what is hot and going on. Essentially, you have to know what is cool. He just doesn't, and in all honesty, know one who is making the major decisions for the camp does.

All of this has just led to a decline for the camp. It's sad, but it happens. Not all good things can continue to go on. I had a good time, and the memories and friends will last a lifetime.

So yeah…I don't think I have anything else to rant about at the moment. Bicker pick ups are tomorrow. That should be fun. Although it means I can't just sleep through the whole day. Alright, night all.

Catching Up

February 5th, 2004

Things are going well right now. The semester feels pretty good and I'm pretty happy with how things are going. I really don't have all that much to say in terms of what's going on in my life. Hmmm….maybe that's a good thing.

At the moment, I'm waiting to see if one of my old CAEN friends is going to IM me back. We haven't spoken in over a year; we had a bit of a falling out and just stopped talking. It's a shame that things worked out like that, but hopefully we can rekindle our friendship.

It appears that this might work. I'm happy. I have missed Chisai-dono. She's always been like a little sister to me, and so losing touch hurt. I don't like losing touch with people I care about, especially those that I have been very close to. Makes me wonder about other people I've lost contact with. Maybe I should see how some people are doing. Yeah, I think I will do that.

Alright, I have some catching up to do. *smiles* Yeah, yeah I do.
