always tired

i managed to fall asleep in every class today. except macro, which was surprising.

anyways, this is more of a placeholder post, GTR up this week

(and no, i will not move on with my life esther, not with this at least =P)

So yeah, Rochester was a ton of fun. It does feel very odd not to be doing the same kind of goof-ing off that I did as a student on trips like these. There is goof-ing off mind you, but not the same kind, not with the same kind of penalties either. Ours would be much worse.
There's a lot that remains to be done with the team. It feels quite weird. While on the team I dabbled in a bit of everything, working on the robot in a limited way, doing chairmans, a lot of PR especially at competitions, not so much scouting or strategy, but this time around it was different. I cant call myself a jack of all trades too much, but eventually thats what I would like to become. Someone that can be held up that way, but there's a lot more work to be done on my part. Right now the best thing that I do is probably talking up the team, to other teams, judges, people etc. Although I should be leaving that to the students for a true experience. But we'll see. I hope to see many more matches at Waterloo, with more chances for accurate scouting this time, but there will always be gut feelings about robots.

(I was also the mascot for a day. Its such a great mascot but you cant see out of it, at least they didnt figure out how to until after Goldie, Levon and Kevin had a turn. They were all much better =P)

i hope im not keeping my roommate up as i write this, but i cant stop sleeping late. its terrible but its force of habit now. but i still cant stay up all night either, nor do i want to.

linked to a ton of blogs on the side finally, after pressuring, but yeah if you want to be on there, or if i am acutally forgetting people go and tell me =P.

long discussion about knowing people and not knowing them anymore today, whether or not anything is going to change with exchange. bottom line is that nothing is concrete, whatever happens will, but you shouldnt accept anything as an eventuality, otherwise you'll be more inclined to act like it will and if its negative, more prone to letting yourself down.

FLR in 2ish.

I lost my YUcard =(

yeah its a different day, but technically i've still been up.

its kind of shitty. but yeah.

on the upside, i did find a ton of new music. well not find, but at least listen to =P

i love running in winter. but not really. i was damn tired but i decided to go for a run around york this afternoon. missed doing that. i love doing stuff like that. walking by myself, running by myself, going around anywhere by myself. maybe its an only child thing. i have to have music with me, any kind of music.

dont get me wrong, i love talking to people too, but this is probably just the introvert part of me it was damn worth it, but running in winter is very very different. only cause i slacked this week going to work out.

its going to have to be damn soon.

spin

oh im well aware i seem to let school dominate my blog entries. im also well aware that ive posted a miraculous 2 days in a row now. maybe 3, i cant remember because im too lazy to tab back.

im also well aware that posting about robotics wont change the ridiculous nature of this blog, but hell it is that important to mention. and to that end. what a ridiculous looking robot. i hope it does well.

it looks like im just hanging on to another vestige of high school, but if you were involved, put simply, you would know. thats it.

turbulence

what a tipsy turvy kind of day. econ midterm back, 88 with the curve. no idea how ridiculously happy i am to have gotten that mark. chinese was eh, but hopefully something else in the 70s.

a thought occurs to me, i look to this as an outlet, but whatever i do is under the realization that somehow somewhere it will be scrutinized, by people i know or dont know, by people i care or dont care about. but that in itself is just kind of like life. so its kind of like the idea that whatever you type out will be measured and with that knowledge, you change what you will type out to fit that. kind of like uncertainty principle but much less empirical. it seems kind of random to talk about, but that's what ended up happening.



spent a damn long time in doug's room tonight, like 5-6 hours, with adam, jenn, kathy and the like. founders isnt so bad with a single room, and not even that bad with a double. im not going to miss any of it, but looking back its really not been that bad, its almost everything i would have wanted out of university, without it being totally unrealistic.


its actually kind of funny, thinking in the back of my head that it could have been a reason, that every example as a kid shows that it would be a reason, but that i wouldnt be one to be thought of in that sense. yet it does seem to make more sense. now its just about what it'll be to see. theres not a time to rest or a reason to.


also, bahrain 2006 in like..2 weeks. damn son.
