cheerful Sorry for the absence of updates. So some new things have arisen! Yay!
College is lots of work, especially with taking care of Jenn (whom I still love) cuz she's in her third trimester, and working my two part time jobs as a custodial engineer and assistant realistate renter to a renting business. All in all I haven't gotten more than 3 hrs sleep a night anymore. Either way I just pump myself up on tea before I leave for school.
Calculus is way cool. My professor is so enthusiastic about teaching the subject that it makes me eager to learn and not at all intimidated or anything.
Chemistry is... all busy work. My professor is nice, but takes 10 minutes to go over one simple conversion problem. As soon as I know I got the answer right on that problem I use the time to work on other problems which brings me to about 3 weeks ahead of the rest of the class. I just do my chem homework when I'm bored and he's gone off on some tangent.
Programming! The first step towards my life's dream. This class is fun, but demanding. I only have two days to write a program that takes input from a person and tell them their salary in 3 different payment plans. I admit it's not all that hard, just tedious. And then you have to check the output constantly so you know it's correct. But it's fun. Plus I have recently lost my ability to type well.
English. Is just flat out amazing. I have a great teacher who is so amazingly awesome! She is such a sweetheart and I really like the assignments she gives us.
And more great news! I have developed a great pain above my left eye that feels like a clogged vain since the pain increases dramatically whenever I'm nervous, excited, laughing, or any other reason that would result in increased heart rate or blood pressure even just slightly. I'm going to see the doctor about it on Tuesday but I think it may be a severe blood clot near my brain that at any moment could get loose, go straight into my brain and give me a stroke so I die.
My CD burner is on the fritz too it seems, it's not burning any of my songs onto CDs and is giving crap errors that I know aren't true.
And that's what's happening so far!

As for the teachers, enthusiastic professors are awesome. My AP US History teacher is awesome. Shes very very enthusiastic about it and makes it more interesting than someone who just drones on in a monotone voice about it for an hour. I also love my AP English class. Not so much because of the teacher (Though Mr Hatz is awesome, I've known him since freshman year) but because of the awesome discussions and debates we have. We had this diction assignment the other day about one sentence and the question was something like "Does adding burst and removing weakened weaken or strengthen the sentence?" And we were debating that for like 45 minutes, got into the philosophical side of it. I really enjoy it.
And the last part about the blood clot, I hope you're ok and its not that serious. Good luck with your doctors appointment on Tuesday. Well, guess I'll ttyl. Ciao!
