Complaints

What is this? A normal post? Yayemy!

EE students have certain requirements to graduate. All undergrads are required to take three classes (215, 233, 235) for a total of 14 credits. They are then supposed to choose one of the 14 different concentrations. My concentration, embedded systems, required 271, 331, 332, 471, 472, and 478 for a total of 30 credits. That right there is 44 credits. EE's are also required to have at least 58 total EE credits, two of which can come from seminars. Finally, we are required to have a total of 68 engineering credits; 58 are EE and the other 10 can come from any other engineering department.

So if you count the 44 that I need for embedded, I need 14 more EE credits. That comes from 341 (5), 436 (4), and 476 (5). So I'm at 58. I also took two 1-credit seminars to put me at 60. Finally, I took AA 210 and MSE 170 at four credits each to put me exactly at 68.


Time to complain.

One of those 1-credit seminars was actually graded; we had to write weekly responses and also a final paper. That class sucked. Also sucking was MSE 170. I hate this class so much that I stopped going to it in the beginning of February. I only went to labs. These two classes total 5 credits.


When I signed up for Winter Quarter, I had planned that my Spring Quarter would only have EE 478 and two easy classes. I didn't care which ones. Midway through the quarter, when I registered, I realized that I should probably take EE 351 and make myself more well-rounded. 351 is 5 credits. Had I known I was going to take 351 in the Spring, I could have completely avoided taking MSE 170 and EE 398 and avoid two of my least favorite classes at UW. And you know what's worse? Instead of taking those two classes, I could have taken Astronomy 150, which I've wanted to take since coming to UW, but never got a chance to.



Sigh. Back to studying for 170. Ew.

My Vision's Never Been So Clear

Yes, those are lyrics. Figure out where they're from.
...or just ask me. Anyway...

Leaving was really hard to do. I hate that feeling.
But....I am still happy. Oh so happy.

Now if only I would stop chickening out. Though...I guess I'll keep chickening out until I know it won't be frowned upon.
But....I am still happy. Oh so happy.

Floating like a Butterfly

I love that feeling.

The extensive giddiness.
The delirious happiness.
The feeling where you want to just jump for joy.
The feeling that makes you distracted because you're so gleeful.
That blissful sense of cheer.
The one that puts a smile on your face no matter what else is going on.


Yeah, that feeling.

And knowing that it's two makes it 3463735457445745236262523 times better.

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Happy

Self-explanatory.



(And yes, I am. Extremely.)

Combination of Words

BT.
Yes, this is the same BT that I posted about before. If you know what that was, then you know what this is.

I really, really like this. It's not 100% accurate, but it does somewhat fit


A combination of words. I don't know. I think I need to come up with the perfect combination before I approach this issue. Maybe it's a good thing that I didn't get a chance to mention it today. Yeah. Sorry about that. I wanted to, but it was later than I expected and by then, I had lost my nerve. Hopefully soon I'll be able to talk about this.

I really want to say it.

Knowing me, though, I'll start the talk really slowly and either speed up to a moderate pace or go straight to a fast pace. And you know what? I'm fine with either one.
Slow is okay, but I think I'm progressing past that. So....
Moderate is okay.
Fast is okay.





And if you know anything about me, then you'll know that what I just said has a hidden meaning behind it.

Wow. It's 12:25 and I have more essaying to do.

Good night!

Distractions

are always welcome, provided that they are of a specific type.

Work

Wow, a post that has nothing to do with the subject of my last six or so, haha.

Anyway, I hate work with such a passion. I hate it. I hate it hate it hate it. I hate my boss's emails with the nonsensical and horribly constructed sentences and her poor punctuation and grammar. I dislike many of my coworkers, especially the lazy ones that don't do anything; I usually have to pick up their slack. I hate the systems we use because they are so slow and I am too impatient to even think of having any patience.

This is a total waste of my time. I barely do anything on Sundays now. I basically sit around for 8.5 hours and try to avoid doing as much work as possible. And you know what? It works. I fell asleep twice today, haha. Like other Sundays, I did very little work, and I'm quite happy with that.

If it weren't for the money, I'd have quit 2-3 years ago. Boy. I really hope I get a useful job soon, otherwise, I'm bound to go insane working full-time over the summer again.


And yes, I know I'm complaining, but I don't care, haha. I've been working here for 5 years. I've been annoyed for 5 years. I deserve some slack, hahaha.

Length of time

did you know that 5+17+18 = 40?

In my case, it also equals boredom removal.

And it equates to extreme contentment, as well.

Possessive pronouns and definite articles

Hmm...whenever I get into that mode, and you know it's bound to happen, all I need to remember is this:

my > the


Yes! I win! Again, not that that has any basis, but I win. I know it's irrational, but I win.



Now...when I thought about writing this post, I had a really, really good closing line. Something that fit the whole idea of possession perfectly. Too bad that I've forgotten it since then. So instead of my clever, witty, awesome ending, I will instead end with:

mine.

Two hours

Yay!
By far, some of the most enjoyable hours I've had in a while.
I wanted to sleep, but I am just so happy (still), that I wanted to write about it.

So yay!

Thanks for those two hours. I'm still overjoyed, hahaha.

BP and BT

Got me all started listening to this again, haha. Also add in SG. Oh boy oh boy.

Anyway

the whole world fits inside of my arms.

Letting Go

I didn't want to let go either.
