Random stuff

I am a little scatter brained right now, but I needed to post, so here is what I am thinking about :

I cleaned up my desk today to find it. I now have proof of where this semester has run off to, I filled 2 notebooks full of hw, quizes, and tests. It is amazing how much I have done. I knew that I had spent many hours doing it, but I did not know that I had that much done.
I am sorry that I have not posted much lately. I have been preoccupied with hw and tests. I can't wait till this weekend, I get a break. I get to work around the house and look for a job, does that sound like fun?

Here is something that I have been plagued with lately. About a month ago, a friend wierded out and thought that I was after her as a girlfriend, but to tell you the truth, I had put of the thought of chasing girls and girlfriends in general due to the fact that I did not think that schoolwork and girls could coexist while mataining grades. Never the less, she brought the thought back to existance, but I was able to push it back for a few. Then another friend of mine (an older guy(68ish) that I was helping move due to his disabilities) started in on me about not have a girlfriend or atleast chasing after a particular girl in general that is a member of my church. That pushed the limits. Then mom and dad heard him bugging me about it and started in on it. I did not think parents were suposed to suport dating, but aparently mine want me to atleast go out with this girl. I will have to say she is a nice girl. The Lord has blessed her with many talents, but should I or should I not go after her. I have been toying with this for several weeks, but have not come to a decision. The interesting part about it is that her parents are for it too, and because of this, the poor girl is afraid to hold a conversation with me. THis makes it hard fo rme to figure her out without actually asking her on a date and starting a ruckus at church. We both were "born" in the church, but she did not attend Sunday school classes because she wanted to be in her sister's classes because she is sy to begin with. Our parents have something cooking, but I have yet to figure it all out. I do know that this weekend that she is going to bring her car out for me and my dad to look at (she will be going to SFA and needs to know if the car will make it several trips). For the moment, I am going to sit back and see what happens. I have prayed about it. I thought about it, but have not come up with anything closer to the solution. I think I have said too much here, but I figured I would give someone somthing to laugh at.
What is everyone's take on DC++? I like the file shareing program. I get Linux stuff and Anime from prople on campus. This is a win-win situation for eveeryone. The things that I am downloading with it are legal to download. Linux distros are huge. It would take me days to download. I, of course, would use a multi threading downloading program so that I would be able to download it faster and use up more bandwidth. This would make others unhappy. So, if I use DC++ I am downloading from some one that has already goen through the process of spending hours and hours of downloading therefore helping others that are using the schools internet connection. Of course there are things that are shared that are illegal, but it is like rifles, just because the user shoots someone does not mean that the next person that wants to go hunting should have to suffer because someone else did something that was wrong. Use your head, no matter what you do, people will find ways around things if you try to limit what they want to do, especially at a school full of engineers.
Well, I must sleep. I have a quiz in statics that I have yet to really understand the material for, so I must run. Later.

News

Sorry it has been a while since I posted. I have been all over and done all sorts of stuff. Of course I voted for Bush. Who in their right mind wouldn't? I have decided that I am going to hang on till the very end of all my classes this semsester and then I am going to see which class to drop. I am not doing particularly good in any of the classes this semester. I don't know what has happened the this semseter. I have worked my hardest, but it just seems like non of it has really sunk in enough to pass any quizzes, although I have done pretty well on the hw. I am not sure if I should blame my problems on my hyperactive brain, not enough effort, or just on the fact that I am not suposed to graduate as an Mechanical Engineer. On the list of more recient events, IT has decided that students don't need the internet and have randomly turned off numerous ports in student's rooms. Unfortunatly, mine was one of them. I have been trying to find out what it is going to take to get my connection turned back on, but have failed thus far. Luckly I have found a way to hack into the school's wireless network and am able to check email(the only form of communication that IT responds to, when they decide that they want to). This will be an interesting battle mainly because nobody down there actually knows what the other person is doing or why they are doing it. What am I suposed to do? I thought about breaking into the IT closet on my floor and exchanging a few wires, but there is a good possiblity that the wires that I am changing are turned off too. I found out that a friend of mine now has a boyfriend. Why did she not tell me? I don't know, it just baffels me. I knew something of the sort was probably it, but had to hear it 4th hand. Am I really the kind of person that nobay can confide in? I also found out about another friend from his mom that the reason that his cell phone does not work is because he did not pay the bill, but the reasons that he did not pay the bill had better not be discussed here. He could have asked me for a loan. I am sure he knew that. That is one thing that I try to make sure that I can do, I try to have enough rescourses to not only provide for myself, but make other's lives easier. I try my best to keep extra time and money for friends and others that are in need. Even if i don't have any extra, I give what I have any way. I always have. It makes my mom mad when she asks what happened to all my money, I have to tell her the truth. She has a diffrent mindset than I do. I could easily live on what she calls not enough. I see all these people around me, but since returning here, it has been harder and harder to do the above. I try to help when possible. I try to get things done early or late to make sure that I have time when everyone else does so that I can accomplish the above. Well, I need to run. It is time to do circuits. Later.

Recent Happenings

Well, it seems like forever since I last posted. Last weekend I went to a wedding. One of my best friends got hitched. The rehersal was on friday night, with the wedding on Sat. I was not in the wedding, but I did attempt to help a little bit. Saturday evening the groom's family had a holloween hay ride that was suposed to scare the riders. I went around the first time to get the idea of what was happening from the point of view on the trailer. Then I had fun scaring people. Unfortunaltly the tractor had good headlights. The headlights caused the surounding ground to be well lit. I was able to hide suficiently to scare a few people though, but not all of them. Did you know that it is easier to scare the older kids(16 on up) than it is to scare the kids that are younger than 13? That was one of the best things about the weekend. Don't tell LETU, but I went to a bar with the groom so that I could be the designated driver. Now that was interesting. They gave me an orange arm band and I was able to drink all the Dr Pepper I wanted for free. We left in about 2 hours or less when we decided that our money had been wasted on going to a location that had nobody in it but drunks and people after things that they should not have been after. I could have told them that before we even got close to going there, but nobody listens to me. I have a statics test in roughly 11.5 hours, so I must return to studying. More later when ever later comes.
