CK's blog

Just look at my previous entries.

Looking through the titles of my blog entries, it seems like every week has been the proverbial "week from hell", so I suppose it's only fitting that this be the quarter from hell. As is to be expected from a quarter from hell, this week was another week from hell. I had a lab due monday, a hard-ass program due tuesday, a hard-ass lab due wednesday, then a homework assignment and another lab due friday, and I still have one last program due on Saturday night. Tuesday night I stayed up until 6am then woke up at 9am for school. You really can't call it a week from hell if you don't stay up almost the whole night doing a program.

This week is probably the worst of them all for four reasons.

1. Jen and I have been together for like the last month, and now she's at home.
2. It's the week after Thanksgiving break, so I've tasted the forbidden fuits of vacation.
3. It's the week before finals, so I'm scared about doing well in the classes already.
4. It's the last week of classes, so I'm ready to get the hell out of here.

However, I've been able to keep myself sane by getting some cool new stuff

1. I got the Nintendo DS. I know I said I wouldn't, but it is awesome and well worth the money and it keeps me from going crazy when I need a break.
2. I got a Blackberry for works. The thing is awesome. It has internet and email anywhere that I get cell phone service. Think about. You have Google anywhere you go.
3. I got a Roomba. It was on sale at Kohl's, and Jen's mom was telling me that she had heard good things about them. I got it to try it out and see if it really worked, expecting I'd probably be returning it the next day. Amazingly, it works. It adjusts to whether it's on carpet or hard floors, it learns the room it's in, it sees edges so it doesn't fall down the stairs. It is awesome. Go Roomba, go. Ella plays with it, she likes to chase it around, but then gets scared when it turns toward her. I'll post a picture of her riding it sometime.

While I was getting ready to leave Temecula, of course in the evening, because it was the Sunday after Thanksgiving and I didn't want to hit insane traffic. Then guess what happens? My car won't start! I had to drive Jen's Volvo home, and she took it to get fixed and will bring it back up with her when she comes to my company Christmas party. Apparantely my fuel pump was messed up or something. $350 later, it seems to run fine.

Current Music: Linkin Park - Session.... which reminds me, Linkin Park and Jay-Z did a CD together. I think I need to check that out.
