Done at last, done at last, thank God almighty I'm done at last. I finally finished the fucking lab. I didn't technically finish it "today." I finished printing it off at like 12:30AM on 10/1/14. Oh I'm so glad I'm done. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I had dynamics, but that was the only class. Later.

9/28/14 A little break

Today, I took a break from the lab, and handled every other commitment I had to take care of. I wrote my section of the review for the FE exam. I read the articles of Wall Street Journal that I'm responsible for. And I essentially did all the work for my retirement planning case study. It's not really a day off since I still worked like a dog and only quit when I couldn't form intelligent sentences anymore. But still felt good. Later.

9/27/14

I hate this lab. I spent about 7 hours working on it. I worked so long on it, I forgot to eat dinner tonight. At least I think I did. I can't remember. I worked on a presentation for Monday, and read what I needed to for the goal. I don't know how I'll get through this lab. Well after working on stuff for 8 hours, my back and neck starting to hurt, and my eyes losing their ability to focus on things, I decided to give up and just take the rest of the night off. I started writing my "everything wrong with catcher in the rye" project. I'm like 4 pages into the book and I've already filled 9 pages in a word document of everything wrong with it line by line. Oh this is going to be great. Later.

9/26/14

Well, it got worse. I was able to fix the "cell auto update" issue I had with my excel sheet. Today was the day that we were going to meet with our senior design sponsors. The senior design project is the big "this is everything that you learned in your major, it's for all the marbles" project for all engineering students in my college. Well my group drives out to the company at 6:50AM, dressed in business casual to make a good impression. We get there, and there's not really anything there. There's a building there, but only 1 car. One of my partners checks his email to find out what the name of the guy we're going to be meeting with is, and apparently the plant burned down and they're going to be out for the count for next several months. The big fire happened on Thursday, a day before we were scheduled to meet with them. Our senior design sponsor burned to the ground. This is fucking crazy. Now we need to start from square 1 and find us a new sponsor. At least our professor understands and is not expecting us to be where everyone else is for the presentation on Monday.

Now, onto "I hate this fucking lab" news. So I have the cells auto updating again, but guess what, I screwed up a couple of calculations and now I have to redo some sections. The section where I was getting amazing mean squared errors, well I was comparing it to the wrong things. Now I have to find new values for that. Oh, and there's another section where I used the wrong variation, so I have to do that part over. I fucking hate this lab. Later.

9/25/14

I FUCKING DESPISE THIS LAB! FUCKING HATE IT!  I spent probably 3 hours today working on it, and the EXCEL DECIDES IT WON'T AUTO UPDATE THE CELL RELATIVE FORMULAS WHEN I CHANGE THE FUCK CELL! NOW I NEED TO REMAKE THE ENTIRE FUCKING EXCEL SHEET. This lab is going to be the end of me. Oh yeah, I have other assignments as well. Fuck you excel, fuck you lab. I'm done.

9/24/14

Well today was pretty crazy. I had my econ, entre 3, and productions class. Then I spent about 4 hours working on multiple regression for my lab project. I'm not even sure if it's done right, but at least I have it done. Now it's all down hill. What multiple regression should have given me for the optimal coefficients, well I was able to optimize it further with solver and remove like 90% of the error. Well damn. I had fun with Fred Upton since he's a big supporter of my college republicans group and bought us some pizza and beer. He's a great guy. Later.

9/22/14

Today, crazy. Had engineering econ, entrepreneurial 3, productions and controls, lab, and senior design. My life is fucked. But I had my first film club meeting, and I got to have fun there, which was nice. My season Blu-Rays of Nurse Jackie also came in, so I'm watching Season 1 now. It's a good show. Later.

9/20/14

Fuck this lab. That is the only way I can describe it. I have this big lab assignment that I've been working on for the past month and it seems like every day I work on it, 10 more dimensions get added. I think I've done what I need, then more just keeps coming. Fuck this lab.

Also, loads of other homework. I'm just burnt out. I'm gonna go watch some youtube. Later.

9/18/14

Well this was a tad awkward. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my easy days. I just have 1 class. Well last night I finished what was due today and what is due tomorrow, so I was at a loss for urgency. Instead of goofing off like a slacker, I decided to get caught up on some things that won't be due for a while, like a project and some homework assignments. That was a good use of my time. I have about 80 more games to test in that lot I bought, but I'm saving that for the weekend. Dynamics went fine. I then met up with one of my groups to work on some group work. That went fine. I also wrote a script for a video on bullying and cyberbullying. It'll be a while before I release them. They're pretty serious and I want to make sure I say everything the way I want to say it. Later.

9/16/14

Wow I've been busy to update. Just lots of work. Lots and lots of work. Oh this semester is going to suck. Later.

9/11/14

Today was OK, but it sure wasn't 13 years ago. In memory of the event, I am currently watching 102 minutes that changed America on History Channel. Really powerful documentary. Last year it ran commercial free which meant that everything played out in real time, but this year they're doing commercials. I had dynamics and worked on homework, lots of homework. Later.

9/10/14

Today was a busy day. Engineering Econ, Entrepreneurial 3, Operations, and working on my senior project. I did a lot of homework as well. On the bright side, 3 things I ordered online came, which is nice. Later.

9/8/14

Wow today was stressful. First engineering econ, then entrepreneurial 3, followed by operations, with a side of "I don't have a group and I need to find one" for my senior design project and entrepreneurial 3, covered with "I don't know what I'm going to do with my forecasting lab" for operations, and topped with "excel solver no longer wants to work and you'll need to reinstall excel." Oh yeah, I also woke up early specifically so I could get to the engineering campus early to print my report but I missed the bus and got to the campus at the time I normally do. I was so done I rage quit responsibilities and decided to play the simpsons video game. I might do a review of it. Later.

9/7/14

Today lots of work. Worked on some operations and dynamics. I went to church. All went well. And good news, Sailor Moon is now dubbed on hulu. Yay. Later.

9/5-6/14

Well I didn't get the chance to blog yesterday, so I'll tell what happened then in addition to today.

Well yesterday started out with me going to breakfast, then getting on the bus to the engineering campus. I had Engineer Econ, Entrepreneurial 3, and operations. I did some homework, then it was time for the big event, loads of free crap bash. I'll probably do a little blog on that on either pokematics blog or maybe on bitlanders. Then there was the storm. Oh the storm. That was crazy. After loads of free crap bash, I did some hanging around trying to do some stuff. Then it was time for volunteering. I did the "drive students home" thing I've done in the past. I had some interesting patrons. All good.

After sleeping off the staying up all night, I woke up at 12 noon and had some lunch food for breakfast. Then I worked on homework, all day. I might need to buy the new text book for my engineer econ class. That's depending on if I can get a hold of a copy and make copies of the homework problem pages. Later.

9/4/14

Today was crazy. I only had 1 class, dynamics, but I had a lot of homework to do. I spent like 5 hours on one assignment, all because I forgot how to actually do it. Now I'm tired and need sleep. Later.

9/3/14

Today was crazy. I had 3 classes, each with a really demanding professor. Thankfully I think I have it down. I did a lot of homework. Later.

9/1/14

Sorry for missing a day. I got caught up on toonami for the most part. Still have some episodes left to watch. I also watched some of the end of every simpsons ever. I did a little more organizing of my room. I went to my film club and had a little pre-semester meeting. I worked on my vacation blog, and it's almost ready. Almost ready to post. Just enjoyed my last day of vacation. Later.

9/1/14

Today was a good last day of vacation. I got caught up on black lagoon, blue exorcist, and space dandy. I had a meeting with my film club. I got our behind the scenes video for one of our projects edited. I saw a couple friends. I got my desk set-up and my room finalized for at least a week. Later.
