...Such an intelligent subject line. =P

I am somewhat annoyed. Mainly, due to the fact that my hair is rather ridiculous looking just now. The color had mostly grown out of my hair, so I wanted to re-dye it. Simple enough, right? Apparently not. Since the color didn't last as long as I wanted it to, we decided to try a different brand of dye, this time. So, we picked out a different kind, in what seemed to be the same shade. Got home and put it on...and all was not well. Instead of being auburnish, my hair was violently red. And not a nice red. Dark, really vibrant red. Like, so vibrant that I held up a reddish soda can and compared the color to my hair, and it practically matched. >.< I washed my hair several times, in an attempt to wash some of the dye out...and a lot of it did come out...but my hair is still very red. =P

Madre and I went to Wal-Mart after I got off work, and got some color-removing solution, and some new dye (the brand that we'd used before, which didn't make my hair funny looking). Since you have to wait after washing your hair, I can't use the color-removing solution until tomorrow...luckily, it says that you can dye it again right away. This is good, as I want to use what we bought...plus, the instructions say that using the solution won't restore your natural color...just remove the dye...if that makes any sense. O_o

So, hopefully, my hair will be normal looking before I go back to school. Speaking of which, that's another reason I'm a bit peeved. I'm working on my CS 315 homework just now...boooooring. =P Plus, I only half-way know what I'm doing. My CS 304, on the other hand...I'm not sure that I know what I'm doing at all. =P Luckily, I have longer to finish it...even though I still have a test to study for in that class (on Monday). Plus, a test in my Camelot class (on Wednesday).

I already paid for my FMA disks, though I've not heard from the seller, so I don't know if they've shipped yet. Hopefully I can get them soon...

...Well, this post was quite random. =P I'd best be off to finish that CS 315 homework. Off I go~

I completely understand where you are coming from. Admittedly, I'm only in my third CS course at Eckerd, and I've had two other CS courses (one in highschool and another in the form of a dual-enrollment college class), so speaking from where I am in the major, I'm in love with it. The logic comes to me easily, and I've gotten all A's in it at Eckerd; right now, however, since I started off the semester being sick and therefore absent, I'm playing catch up, which makes things hectic. But other than that, so far, so good. The only thing I'm not liking about this major is the required math courses. I don't know what happened - I was an A math student in highschool! - but I'm sucky in math now! I partly blame the math professors at Eckerd, because the rest of both of my math classes so far have complained about the professors teaching and testing methods, so I know I'm not alone...but...what happened? I just can't get my math skills back! >:( Other than that, I'm happy and doing well. *sporks the math reqs*

I'm in my 5th CS class, currently. I think the thing with me is that I have trouble with some of the teacher's methods...I'll get the theory, but have trouble applying it. Sometimes I can apply theory with no problem...sometiems I can't. If you give me examples, and show me how, then I'll get it...but several of them don't like to do that. =P And I totally agree; playing catch up sucks. I was out sick for a while earlier this semester, too.

Also, I'm with you on the math thing! I hate math (which makes my choice of major so intelligent, ne? ^^;;), but I always did well enough at it (I usually held a B in HS)...but, I took Calc I my freshman year...Good grief, it was awful! My prof wasn't very good (the whole class complained about her)...but still...I'd taken Calc I the year before in HS! I should have done better...but I didn't. =P I got a C. I'm going to have to take Calc II soon...I'll be finding a tutor, needless to say. >.<

I'm glad that you've had less trouble with things than I have. ^^ I'll agree; when you're not stressed about being behind, it's nice.
