^ breakfast.

I'm retaking two classes I did quite poorly in through prior semesters to bump up my GPA. It won't quite get me to 3.0, but it'll be closer than I am now. What's funny is I still have the textbooks for both classes, but it's been long enough I'm fairly certain they'll be using newer editions. Textbooks suck like that.

Day 1 of returning to proper sleeping patterns has been...unsuccessful. This sort of thing has an unfortunate domino effect in that if I wake up at 12:30 today, I'm not likely to go to bed before 4am tomorrow. Yet tomorrow I must go to the library, burn some CDs, mail things to my parents. Whoo hoo.

I always feel as though I've lots to say, but when I open iJournal I can't think of anything to put down. Perhaps I'll get better with practice.

My parents are having difficulty getting high-speed internet. I'm doing what I can, but being 5 hours away doesn't really help. I'll try to mail them the extra router and an extra copy of XP next week, but beyond that I'd pretty much have to be there to do anything.

Our food situation is kind of roller-coaster-y. We go from tons of food when mama Julia visits to bare cupboards any other time. That can't be good.

I'm still feeling pretty good about the new year. Not much time left before school begins anew. I'd better start trying to fix my sleeping schedule.

Subject says it all.

I woke up at 7:30 this morning and got up right away. This is pretty awesome (I am in some ways a morning person), but it's pretty much due to the fact that I went right to bed last night. I do not think this will be a trend, alas.

I've used the bike a couple of times, if I can just do it more often maybe my legs will stop burning during rides. ugh, I am old and fat. :D

I'm kind of sad Nay wasn't awake this morning. She'd no doubt have enjoyed watching me giggle like a child as I finally figured out what was causing my program (prg02 in Computer Networks...coding a webserver, very basic) to not work. I refrained (mostly) from bouncing in my chair, but I definitely had a big stupid grin on my face. For future reference, when writing data to a socket, I guess sending an entire string even when it's only partially filled is a bad thing. Who knew? o_0 Anyways, just tying up some loose ends, but I should get full credit for this.

And next week, spring break!

Every single day I think "This is the day I begin to be serious. This is the day I improve myself." And then everything goes downhill. :D I've spent the last two years learning very little about web programming, even though I was involved in the backend of SNOG!, was the first choice for coding the FFA, and was actually taking classes in database management and OS code. Had I made honest effort to utilize those opportunities fully, I'd be a happy man right now. A company asked my Computer Networks teacher to let his students know they're looking for a full-time web developer with knowledge of the above things. From what I understand, good benefits and salary.

Everything worth doing takes more time than anyone wants to spend.

I've finally decided to just plug our backup hard drive into the PC, since it is far more accessible to Jack and Daniel. For some reason unknown to me, the Netgear thing uses a file format system that Windows alone doesn't read, so if the device ever failed, our data would be inaccessible until we bought a new one. Wait, I think I just figured out the reason. hrmph. Anyways, shoving 80+ gigs of movies onto our other HDDs was extremely sucky, so there had better be an improvement in transfer speeds at the least!

Been burning through Transmetropolitan. Can scarcely stop reading; I gotta see what Spider does next. Definitely not a comic book for the squeemish. :D Am about halfway through the series now.
