New Spicy Chicken flavour

I am taking a break from linguistics and computer science at the moment, thought it would be a good opportunity to write things here.
The weather here sucks. It's been between like -2 and +1 for the past two weeks, everything's melting and getting all messy and stuff. I was supposed to have a speed skating meet today, but it was too warm, so it got cancelled. Yesterday was the second day of it, and it really sucked. It snowed/rained (yes. rained) starting friday night, basically until an hour ago when it stopped. Saturday morning, they were using the tractor to clear the snow from the oval, and the ice was so soft the tractor actually left tread marks in the warmup lane. As the day went on, it got a little colder, so the ice froze a bit, and the tire marks left, but then it got EVEN WARMER. The ouside lane of the corner was like slush. The times were basically what you'd get if you ran the same distance on a track in skates. NO GLIDE AT ALL.
AND i think i have a concussion, from something, but i don't remember hitting my head ever. All i know is i've been having headaches, especially when i jump/stomp/run or do anything that has more impact than walking. D:
Yesterday, i took Alex and Charles to Safeway to buy drinks though. It was pretty cool. They ended up getting 48 cans between the two of them. Charles paid $4 for his 24, of assorted Crush products, (including his $2.50 donation to Haiti), while Alex paid $10 for his Dr Pepper. I got 6 cans of orange crush because i drove them there, and Alex to work today.
On a homework-y note, the comp sci project actually turned out to be easier than expected; half the work was done for us. Linguistics is easy too, only i was doing it in a semi-public place and getting weird looks as i sounded out words (we're doing phonetics. I was sitting there trying to find the sounds in "serendipity"; "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ehhhhh RRRRRRR ehhhhhhh nnnnnnnn d ihhhhh p ihhhhhh t eeeeeeeeeeeee". or "loquacious".)

Proggy!

Busy, busy. I have been busy. All sorts of work and stuff. My stats class is a lot of work. I've also been doing all sorts of other stuff. I spent the day making graphics for a math contest. i also signed up to be a note taker for all sorts of classes. Lots of homework assignments this term too. Comp sci project due friday, stats assignment monday, and uhh... calculus homework that's not really DUE per se, but i have to do it sometime, otherwise i won't do good in that course at all.
Alex bought both seasons of Chuck today, we've been watching it for several hours. I've been doing my stats homework and those graphics for the math exam.
My mom got me Macromedia Studio MX, so i also was playing with FreeHand today. I also have Dreamweaver and Fireworks and Flash! All sorts of fun programs to play with! And on the less fun programs front, i've had to install like seven inane programs for stats. AND one of them installed all sorts of ridiculous Yahoo! add-ons for Firefox. feh.
The weather is really warm here, it kinda sucks. It's only january, and already all the ice and snow is getting.... not... good.

The End of the Beginning of the Middle bit of the...

Winter break is almost over! For most of us, it probably ends tomorrow. For the awesomes of us (read: Me) i have another couple days. I start school again on Wednesday! :S This time in new and never before seen classes!? Well, not COMPLETELY new... Two of my classes go all year, Linguistics and Economics. The other three are ALL NEW!!!!1 which is fun, i guess. IT DOES MEAN that i don't have to do that silly programming practises anymore. That course was hard :\
Instead i'm in some other compy sci course and Calculus 2 and Statistics. They're mostly in the mornings, except tuesday/thursday, when i don't start till 10, but i have to stay until like 3, which sucks. I'd rather just get it over with and enjoy my afternoons.
The rest of the holidays were cool, Not sure if i mentioned it, but i got a large amount of video games for christmas, so i basically played those all day for the whole break. I saw alexander yesterday, because it was his last day in Winnipeg. He's back in Vancouver now, and getting ready to start tomorrow :P
I still have several games to OPEN, let alone beat. Haven't opened Mario Kart, Wii Sports Resort, or Wii Fit Plus. I've also only done half of Rockband 2, but that's more for having friends around to play it with right? (now... if i could just find some friends... :/)
For new year's i went to Aidan's house and we played HexBox Full rotation, for like 13 HOURS IN A ROW. I got there mid afternoon, and we went to bed around 6 (the next morning) Basically we played Castle Crashers, and Left 4 Dead 2 all evening/night and then we started watching Star Trek (the new movie, not the nerdy ones) at like one in the morning. Then we played Modern Warfare 2 for a couple hours, then we played castle crashers, then aidan went to sleep and i went to bed shortly thereafter. I woke up at like 10:30, and he didn't wake up till 2. I considered just leaving him there, but i decided against it :P
It's going to be a little weird going to bed at a reasonable hour again also :/ I don't think i've gone to bed earlier than 2 this whole break D:

Required Post-Christmas Post

Christmas is sort of over for now... Unless you count the whole "christmas season" to also include up to Epiphany, but i don't.
I got some cool stuff for Christmas! I got Mario Kart and Wii Sports Resort, and some nice clothing, and books and lego and a crazy Rubik's Cube thing... It's called Rubik's 360, and it's WEIRD.
But not really as hard as a Rubik's Cube is, which is handy. The "trick" is a little difficult to grasp, but if you've taken linear algebra, it's logical and easy. :D
We also got Rockband 2 for christmas! And several other video games for the Wii; Alex got Madden '10 for his Xbox.
We debated going to Best Buy and getting in on all those sweet deals, but decided it wasn't worth it. It's snowing and windy out. It's been snowing since Wednesday night, and i've had to shovel ~4 cm of snow of the walks like FOUR TIMES in the past two days. I'm about to head out and do it again...

Note to self: Remember to make clever post title

I finished my exams! Whee! Now i have so much free time!
Well, actually i was done on monday afternoon. There was a mistake in the exam schedule, and i didn't check my school email during exam week, so it wasn't until monday afternoon, at about 2, when i found out i had an exam at 3. I managed to get there in time though, which was good. Monday night and Tuesday were spent at my friend's house, playing video games.
Things to do over the break though: Running, Skating, Video Games, Hopefully an animation in flash or something. i wanted to do it last month, but i was busy with exams :S
Also: I have to buy something for my sister, but the only thing she's asked for is a pair of gloves, that are sold out EVERYWHERE (They are Olympic Gloves, really nice, hard to find.)
but for now, nothing to do for a little while...

So that's where they come from...

GAH!
I should really be doing my comp sci project right now D:
Instead i'm connected to the internet, which slows my working down to ~5% CURSE YOU YOUTUBE.
Also: Final exams are coming! I should be studying. I'll start later.
Also: Aidan gave me his lego. MORE LEGO = MORE POWER! But i don't have time to play with it until like christmas, so stay tuned for an even more epic castle. Also: I asked for more lego for christmas(to my mom's chagrin) so i can make a second castle and have a battle of mythic proportions.
Alex bought an xbox 360! Now i have one more thing to distract me from being productive! Yay!
Yesterday there was a track meet. I ran the 1000 and the 600. Also there was a math contest called the "Putnam" contest. It's named after some famous math guy. It's also the hardest IN THE WORLD. it takes six hours to write, but i was only writing the second half (I was running for the first half.) It was seriously hard too. I read the problems and i was like


Then i was like "okay, i sort of understand this one, kind of i guess." And so i ended up getting solutions to 3 out of 6 problems. Then i found out that one of the solutions was wrong. And the other two... well let's just say they're not the most acidic solutions in the world. But they're not the most basic either!
Finally, before i go to do work, you people should listen to owl city. It's awesome.

Back and better than ever!

My apologies for letting my blog gather dust :/ This month i did stuff. (like not on the internet stuff) AND on the internet stuff!
I started playing lego again. I made a castle of epic proportions, with an equally epic army attacking it. If i remember i'll takey picture.
Also, i started playing Warcraft 3 again. It's still fun. There's also the same number of jerks who go AFK and make you lose :(
Also, i started running more. Not as much as i need/want to but more.
AND FINALLY, school's been picking up before exams, so i've been having less time to do other stuff.
So there you have it. 4 things that would each take up a full amount of time AT THE SAME TIME.
