Well, at least I've already completed one of those things. Looks like I only have enough time over the next year to do... hmmm... One or two more? I have too many things I want to do before I die. And this list doesn't even include long-term things such as traveling the world or starting a family... :::sigh:::

I don't know what to do with myself.

Over the past week, I was completely convinced I should switch my major. I didn't want to do computer science anymore. It seemed like an anti-social field, and I was falling behind in the class simply because I had other work to do, or I just didn't want to do it (boring... gah). So over the past month, I've nearly skipped half of my programming lectures, and the ones I did go to, I left after it was halfway through. Too boring!

Anyway. The midterm for that class was last week. The day before the test, I looked at the little review sheet the professor typed up, and I didn't even know half of what was on it. Rather than try to figure it out, though, I did other homework and played videogames. Yeah. Whatever. Then I took the midterm. I didn't know how to do most of the problems on the test, but I tried to figure the stuff out and teach myself the material WHILE I took the test. I was sure I failed.

I got the results back yesterday. Not only did I pass, I got above average. That makes no sense. I didn't even try to do well, and I scored high, and here my friends are, studying days on end, failing. :::sigh:::

So I'm thinking I'll at least finish this class rather than drop it, then see how I feel about computer science. The only problem is, I'll actually have to start doing the homework projects now if I want to pass. >_<.

iTunes music sharing is so weird. I mean, I don't think my music library is that interesting, but there are others who think it's just spiffy, apparently. Every time I use iTunes, hordes of people listen to my shared folder... and do so for a period of time, without disconnecting. This sort of creeps me out. Them listening to my music...

Oh, and the first sentence of this post might be the first time I've ever begun a sentence with a lowercase letter (well, since like, kindergarten). Momentous occasion? I think so!

When I inquire, "Would you like a prune?" a person usually responds, "Yuck! No, thank you!"

However, I love how when I ask the same person, "Well, would you like a dried plum?" he'll usually answer, "Why, yes, I'd love one! Thanks for asking!"
