well, jackie and i went to the library today for like four hours. i watched some thermodynamics tapes of our prof doing homework problems. let's just hope they help. now i am about to start writing one of the two papers that should be done by tomorrow. *sigh* i hate school. especially finals. at least this year, i seem more prepared than previous semesters...i think the urge to get out of here is just too great to slack off. i added the scrolling javascript on the front page. but for some reason, it jumps up and to the left when you first start scrolling...i can't figure out why it does that. so if you are a javascript expert, look at the source code for the page...then
email me and tell me what i am doing wrong! ok, so off to the papers i go :)
awww yeah. i'm killing time at work. i love my job. control room is the absolute best place on earth to work. well, for me anyway. the people are great, i learn a ton of new stuff all the time, and i get to wear t-shirts and jeans every day. you can't get any cooler than that :) plus, i can work from home if i need to for any reason. now i just need to get a laptop so that i can go outside on a sunny day and work :) woohoo! eventually the rest of the site will be styled similarly with this first page. but i'm workin on it. i feel bad doing stuff like this at work, so don't expect anything cool soon. my free time is booked for the next week or so.
so i am attempting to rearrange this layout a little...but my time here is cut short since a mr. finger needs to finish his paper. so i will leave this as it is right now...although i am not completely happy with it yet. i have yet to figure out how i want to archive the pictures, as well as these random thoughts. the last archive is still there, but the new one i have in mind will far surpass it. so bear with me while it looks a little messy. and i gave up trying to make it look nice in netscape. if you are using netscape, switch browsers :)
and so finals week begins. at least now i know for sure that as long as i pass all my classes, graduation is only a semester away. i will be walking in a ceremony on sunday, where they will call my name and my parents get to take pictures with me in my cap and gown. woohoo :) i am so happy to finally be almost done with school. five and a half years is way to long. i start work full time on the 7th. what else is goin on with me? two weeks and then i get to see the blue man group in chicago! creed and i are planning for a fun time, but the next day is mother's day. oops. so our trip will have to be cut a little short, but i think we will have a great time regardless :) laura has started to appear more around the apartment. that makes me happy. i miss her. i am desperately trying to get her new computer up and running. but it isn't cooperating. that's what i get for pretending to know what i am doing. anyone who is a computer genius, send me a message. i will contact you with multiple questions :) i figured most of the problems out myself, but i have hit a wall, and i will admit it, i need help. anyway, marc needs to use the computer again. papers suck. especially when we are down to one computer. mine.
a lot on my mind. school has pushed it's way into the far back of my worries...but before i get into that, keith won the sublease debate, so it will be he, laura, and i that live in the oaks this summer... should make for an interesting four months...recently i have been checking out some cam sites to add to my favorites page...and i never realized how many girls out there have them...from geeky to goddess, from goth to preppy, it seems like they all have them. so now on top of just making this a site to update friends and family on what is going on with me, i feel like i have to establish some sort of identity online...talk about crazy...i now have to live up to my braggings of my skills, and make something i am proud of...this page is a start...but there is so much more i want to do...time is a problem though..especially this summer...classes and work will leave me NO time to spare for myself...*sigh*...but what else is new...speaking of the same ole - same ole...things with jc and i are definately still the same. and i'm not talking about jesus christ. we hung out a bit recently...and it was good. i really enjoy his company... i just wish i could enjoy it more often without feeling like i am suffocating him. i guess it's good that we only hang out now and then... it gives me time to actually have a life..and it just makes it that much more exciting when we finally go out together :) yet although i treasure those moments, i am still on the lookout for something more dependable. regardless, it's sleepy time for me...and bailey is patiently awaiting his snuggle buddy :)
wow, a lot has happened in ten days. i went out to eat with matt bodine...it was a fun date :) i hope he has a good time in vermont working for IBM...laura still isn't home, but now corinne might need a place to stay...so it will be either her or keith that subleases from marc for the summer...we could have the triho house reunited...but i don't know how laura feels about that...andrew and i seem to be fighting more than usual...i think it is the upcoming summer that has us on edge...he says that i will be glad to get rid of him...and that he needs a break from me...i don't know why we don't get along anymore. i have all this built up anger towards him that i can't control. and it just ends up in us fighting...i don't know...it might be good for us to be apart...i miss just being friends with him...JC and i are getting along better though...we go through these cycles...it is good and bad...i like it a lot when it is good...and sadly, the bad is worth waiting for the good... people say i deserve better than to just have an off and on relationship with someone... but i will take what i can get right now...and i don't think i am putting up with all that much...two weeks and i get to go to chicago (my favorite town) to see the blue man group again...I LOVE IT...it's a present from creed...i'll write about that when i get back...this weekend jackie and i are running a 5k cure for cancer...let's just hope i don't die from lack of being in shape :)
the party on saturday was a success. a huge amount of people showed up...the brownies were in full effect...it was great! i however, cannot party like i used to be able to, and i passed out at 11! but from what i hear, it was a great time. jackie did a great job with the jungle juice...everyone that came got enough :) laura still isn't home...i wonder how long she can possibly ignore marc...knowing laura, she will probably hide until he has to leave for colorado...whatever..i am staying out of that argument...i get to go out for dinner on wed with my old, dear friend matt bodine...i can't wait! :) i haven't seen him in forever, and now he is leaving for vermont in june :( it figures... but hey, now i have a place to go visit...although i promised adam i would come and visit him...so he gets first priority for vacations :) one more month of school and summertime is right around the corner...a boy (we'll call j.c. for all those who know about him) is still as confusing as ever...i cannot figure guys out...men: email me. tell me what the hell you want! cause i sure as hell can't figure you guys out. but now it's time for bed...i am so sleepy...need to recover from this weekend, i fear.. i am going home for easter...i love going back and hanging out with my parents...they are so fun :) new photo album soon...a certain person's birthday sign took a tour of campus...hehehe...
happy birthday laura! the birthday girl is a proud 22 today... however, due to the recent crisis at our house, i have not been able to track her down to sing to her...hopefully i can find her before tonight, so that i can figure out which bar she would like to go to...being that keith is not of age to drink yet, that might be a bit of a problem...who knows... so it's a happy day, but i miss my roommate. two certain people need to sit down and talk and work things out. if not for themselves, at least for everyone else that is caught up in it. if you two didn't know IT SUCKS. i hate when friends fight...and even more when it drags on and people just start being stubborn...noelle made a good point: life is too short to be angry or hurt all the time. one of the two has apologized...(laura check your email) so now we await the response. bailey misses you too laura so come home soon!
