Today was all right. I had digital logic lecture and lab. In the lab I learned how a CD works, and how digital music data is stored on an audio CD. It was cool, and I can see how audiophiles want vinyl because it's a little weird how digital waveforms are converted to analog sound waveforms. I had my health and well being class, and that was fine. I had my first filmmakers club, and I'm going to be doing something with them this weekend. Later.

Today, I was going to do some blog work, but then I worked on school work and that's what I needed to do to be responsible. I also did laundry and called my grandparents. All went well. Tomorrow I think I'll try to do the blogs. Not much else. Later.

Well today I had my moments remembering what happened 14 years ago. My college flew all our American flags at half mast, and I took a moment and placed my hand over my heart as I looked at the flag.
I did amiibo hunting today because wave whatever was released. I went to Meijer at midnight to get Zero Suit Samus, Ganondorff, and Olimar. I wanted to get 8-bit Mario as well but I didn't have enough money on me so I had to put something back. At Target this morning I got Dr. Mario and 8-bit Mario, and made sure I brought enough money with me. Got all but Bowser Jr. and I don't really care about that one.
I had mechanics of materials, history of the world, and Tri-Z. They were OK.
I also had my last "loads of free crap bash" and it was pretty good. Full blog about these things tomorrow. Later.

Today didn't start out terrible, yay. I had digital logic, and I needed my laptop for class and I forgot it. Hey, bad, but not terrible. Well that was all I had to do today. I edited together my monster video that I started last year. You can watch it here. I also finished writing my vacation blog. You can read that here. I went to return a book that I bought the wrong edition of, and I forgot the book at my dorm and realized it once I got to the book store. I'm also going to try my hand at some amiibo hunting later tonight. Later.

Well today didn't start any better. I had some trouble sleeping last night because it was so hot. I ended up sleeping on the floor for a couple hours because it was cooler than my bed. I also woke up feeling sick. Dehydrated most likely, and tired. I also felt REALLY sweaty and hot, so I got in the shower and just let some cold water run over me. It felt great. For the dehydration, I got some Gatorade for breakfast, and fruit loops. Well after leaving I felt nauseous. Luckily I was close to a door outside because I blew chunks hard. Because I'm a curious engineer and the food wasn't very digested, I looked at it to see if I could figure out what was disagreeing with me. I felt better after puking, but that lasted long enough to get back to my room. I drank some water, found my little garbage bags for when I feel the need to barf again, and lied down on the cool floor. I dry heaved some water and whatever else was left in my stomach. I felt much better after that, like I might actually be able to function today. I don't know what I came down with. I went to the dorm caf again, and this time had some honey nut cheerios and water, because that will be much easier on the stomach and I needed to eat something. I had mechanics of materials at 12 at the engineering campus, and it was kind of hard. Not like the material was difficult, just that I was super tired and hungry. Luckily just syllabus day and a little review content. After class I got a soft pretzle without salt, a bottle of water, and a jumbo rice crispy treat, because all of those would be easy on my stomach. I made the right choice because now all my tiredness was the result of not really eating anything all day, and not sleeping well. I had my history class and it looks like it's going to be an interesting class. I had a grilled cheese after that class, and it was calm. I also had "steak" for dinner because that's what we had at the caf. Now I'm just relaxing. Later.

Well today started off terrible. I went to parking services to get a parking pass. I locked my keys in the car at parking services. I have a spare set of keys in my dorm, on the other side of campus. I took about an hour trying to get to my RA so I could use one of my lock outs, because my dorm keys were in the car and we have 3 different security doors I have to go through, and with it being 8 AM due to my class, not many people are awake. I was 20 minutes late to my class, but since it was the first day I didn't miss much. I had digital logic and health and well being. Health and well being is one of those sort of experimental classes, not much structured learning but touchy feely. Well maybe tomorrow will be better.

9/7/15 Last day of summer

Well I'm going to start this blog up again. Maybe once I start working full time I will figure out a way to do this regularly without giving away sensitive info. But now I'm back with my non-propietary college student life.

So labor day in the US was my last day of summer break. I moved into my dorm on Saturday, finalized unpacking on Sunday, and enjoyed my last day off today. I returned some supplies I thought I forgot and bought again but ended up finding when unpacking. "No, nothing's wrong with the merchandise, I just found my original stuff." I can't believe I forgot my dish soap that I used since freshman year. That bummed me out though, and I had to buy some new stuff.

Well on this day I watched a couple movies on hulu, watched a bunch of admirable animation and animation atrocities on youtube, and filmed "12 years a Dave." I thought of this idea last year, and had some larger, do what the Amanda Show did with BlockBlister, but never got around to it and instead of letting the idea die, I did this. Check it out at the video site and chose your favorite web player.

I considered doing some other videos, but decided against it. I finished all my unpacking and got my dorm looking like I want it. It's really hot here, and the dorms aren't air conditioned. Oh well. When trying to fall asleep the first 10 or so minutes of Pooh's Grand Adventure was playing through my head. The whole "on the last day of a golden summer," and "forever." I woke up a couple times throughout the night because I was thirsty, and needed to replace all the water I was sweating out. Later.
