While this is quite humorous, the weight of this week is slowly hitting me.
105b -- homework 2 due on thursday in class (11am)- a fair amount of stuff that requires a bit more understanding, and a lot of logistics: this is an assignment I am afraid of and that will take a lot of time and understanding to finalize a homework I am proud of.
142 -- compiler project 2 due tuesday by the beginning of class (8am) - i just realized this is due in like 16 hours.
155a -- project 3 due thursday by 11:45pm -- I'm not so worried about this, but it'll definitely take a chunk of time to finish just to go over the whole hump of VHDL hassle.
199 -- 2 weeks worth of research due 9am on wednesday -- pretext due before the meeting at 9am -- I definitely need an hour or two to read as much as I'd want to come up with the good stuff to talk about.
And the last one to take the cake....
125 -- Carlson couldn't meet today, he can't meet wednesday and he's plannin on meeting THURSDAY -- after our week 7 presentation. We have a prototype due in less than 2 weeks, and we do NOT have the complete requirements. We need a significant demo for thursday and we need to be cranking out php and table making and designing until then.
Oh yah, since I wanted more hours, and I wanted Friday's, Erika wanted me to grab a Wednesday shift this week. So here is my current amount of free time:
Today after 4pm.
Tuesday before 8am, 1230-2pm, 330-4pm, after 10pm
Wednesday before 9am, after 6pm
Thursday before 8am, 1230-2pm, 330-4pm, after 10pm.
To sum up:
125 presentation + 142 project + 105b homework + 155a project + 199 research - time = me overwhelmed

A quirky cute thought on love and Valentine's Day.

I love the line -- "Why learn when you can wonder?" Really makes me think about knowledge -- those who wonder and think the "un-thought-of" are the ones who come up with brilliant ideas and see what the future can create.
It does feel a little counterproductive to have this romanticized view of knowledge here "wondering instead of learning" right after my whole work-hard-and-learn-stuff post I made a second ago. I hope I can hold on to a happy medium of both ideals.

Grammys are here this year, and according to the voters at MSN.com, Kanye is least slated to win the Best Album. Other nominees include the late soulful Ray Charles, the alt-choice Green day, the melodious Alicia Keys, and r&b divo (male diva) Usher.
What I find interesting is the rap-sun collaboration, where Kanye has two songs there, btw his produced "Slow Jamz" and his performed "All Falls Down." "Yeah" seems to fall under that category, which Luda being the rap involved.

Best Soundtrack already went to Garden State, which I have to admit was pretty damn good. I still think I really liked the soundtrack for Dangerous Minds, but that may have been my love for pop-rap at the time (Gangsta's Paradise). It was a pretty good song, but hopefully by now I know that one good song does not make a great soundtrack.
*arms raised* Howard Shore, composer of the LOTR series, picks up 2 grammys as well.

Here's a little something I wrote today:
********************************************
Good morning class.
We are all actors in our life. Our music is the soundtrack, accompanying your life and its significance to your life is its significance to you. The script of your life is not written yet, but you can write it yourself, or you can have it written for you. The actors in your life are predetermined and undetermined at the same time, depending on what you believe in. There will be costars that come and go, and some that will last till the end of the movie that is your life. The music accompanies you and may fluctuate like your mood. Will your movie be great? Will it be good at times and bad at times?
Will it have an unforgettable ending that others will be talking about while they go live their own movies and see other movies? Make sure you dominate the day and rock harder every day of your life or it will just be something that happens not YOUR LIFE.
