And Spring Break Commences

So my matrix theory teacher lets us out early today. That was pretty cool, since I got to eat lunch before going out on a job.

Then spent the rest of the night trying to make myself productive.

Then I found out that one of the Millenium Problems relates to finding a polynomial time algorithm for Minesweeper.

So I played Minesweeper, and I got a time on Beginner of...anyone?

42 seconds.

Guess what I got?

What a day!

Oh boy.

So it started at 9:30 with my Econ midterm. That was OK, I guess. I just checked the answer to the free response section, and I got some of it wrong. I'm not sure exactly how much.

Then Diff Eq at 2. That absolutely sucked. There is a strong positive correlation between being a math professor and being a total jerk.

Then I had to finish my CS 231 homework by 5. I picked up the last assignment, and I got a 100%.

Then Physics at 7. That wasn't too bad.

I topped it off with an Old-Fashioned Shake at Moonstruck.

Because of my exams, there is no physics lab or diff eq homework this week. So I'm pretty much done at 1 tomorrow. I have a job at 2 PM.

So right now, I'm watching Animal House. Beauty.

Also, I'm thinking of moving my blog.

What's your Score?

Play the game, and try to beat my score of 1031.52m.

Sir Bill?

No, not really, but he will be knighted.

In other news, the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to rule the execution of juveniles unconstitutional. It's about time.

Beware my Wrath, TransUnion!

OK, so after being told I'd have to jump through the same hoops to get my annual credit reports from Experian and Equifax that I did to get my TransUnion one, I've decided I'm just going to call them tomorrow, tell them what morons they are, and make them fix it once and for all.

Idiots.

In other news, the CS 231 exam went pretty well. Diff eq is as confusing as ever. And tonight I went to see Anderson Cooper (the CNN guy) talk at Foellinger. It was pretty cool. I gave up trying to contact my first client for work and cancelled the ticket. Hopefully I'll get another one soon, I need to get some work.

DCON is this weekend. Fun fun. Yeah, and not only does our club not have a treasurer, I don't think our division has an LTG either. And while I may end up being treasurer in addition to secretary, the Bylaws prohibit a club officer from being LTG. We had an argument at yesterday's board meeting over whether this was the rule in Key Club too or not. Mary?

Beware, TransUnion!
