.: This Girl's Daybreak :.

It's already Saturday...late Saturday, even. I've accomplished basically everything that I mentioned in my last entry, which is good. I went to that jazz concert last night. My mom did go with me, which is good, because I don't think I'd have been able to drive home. ^^;; I was so tired, I think I actually slept part of the way home...and I usually don't fall asleep in cars. The concert was fairly good; I like jazz/Big Band-type music, so that much was nice. I would have enjoyed it so much more if I hadn't been trying to think of things to write down, though...also, being more awake would have been good, too. ^^;;

I did get the required paper written, though. I just wrote it, actually. It's horribly repetitive, has no substance, and is just generally crummy. But I don't know what else to do with it. =P So, it shall likely be turned in thusly. Hopefully, my professor will go easy on me, since this is a music class...not an English/Writing one.

I found something peculiar when I went to test my coding for my CS 220 lab. Apparently, either I've forgotten how to properly run programs from the command line, or I've got some unfathomable problem in my coding. 'Cause, as-is, when I run my code, it just prints out a couple of lines...that, according to the if-statement, should only be printed if the user enters the wrong number of arguments. I don't know why this is, because, I think I've been doing it right, but...*Shrugs* Well, I emailed my TA and asked him, so maybe he can shed some light on this problem. Maybe I've been doing it wrong...I've been so fuzzy headed lately, it wouldn't really surprise me...

Also, I've been on a weird 80s music kick lately. I've been listening to the 80s station for most of my drive time to and from school, and my playlist has been flooded with recently downloaded 80s hits. ^_^ It's kinda weird...Technically, I am an 80s child...I was born in '84. Thing is, by the time I was old enough to really pay attention to the music or pop culture, the 80s were over =P So, except for a select few, I don't remember these songs from my childhood. I just like them. ^_^ But then, that could just be a manifestaion of my general feeling toward music; it's not good unless it's at least a couple of decades old. ^^ Which brings me to this quiz...



w00t! Ph34r my useless 80s lyric knowledge! ^^V

Argh...I swear, I'm so out of it. I was busy all last week with that double-assignment from my CS class, plus seeing my tutor to prepare for my math test (which I took today, and hopefully *didn't* fail for once). It kinda sucked. I mean, I usually spend my weekends goofing off, relaxing...just generally recovering from the stresses of the week. I need my weekends. They keep me sane. Did I get any relief last weekend? Nope.

After class on Friday, I went to the Drag Show with Jennifer (which was really fun), and I didn't get to bed until sometime after midnight. Then I had to get up and go see my tutor at 10 on Saturday morning. Not fun. Getting up early (Yes, that is early for me! Especially after staying up late), then struggling with detestable math for two hours...I swear, I felt like my brain had melted and would soon be leaking out my ears. >.< Shortly after I finished with my math, my mother decreed that I needed some warmer clothing, and thus dragged me to the mall to purchase gloves, a hat, and a sweater. -_-;;;

I was able to sleep in on Sunday, which was good. Unfortunately, it caused me to have no free time that day. I got up around noon; my father and I left for St. Louis at about 3:00. Why the trek to St. Louis? We had tickets to go see the Moody Blues. ^^ The only good thing to ever come of watching Channel 9. Dad brought his XM radio, so we had nice music to listen to as we drove; he and I have very similar tastes in music, which is cool. On the way there, we stopped and ate at an Olive Garden, which was good, as usual ^_^ I love their fettuccine alfreado, and their Caesar salad is almost a meal in itself ^^ The concert itself was pretty good; we had good seats, though the bass was awfully loud; it rendered most of the lyrics unintelligible. =P The music was good, though. ^^ They played "Singer in A Rock and Roll Band", which I loved, plus a lot of other good songs. The only downside was that I didn't get to bed until around midnight...This being bad in itself, but mostly because I had to get up at 6:00 this morning, to go to school. >.< Gotta love that commute =P

Plus, my CS prof. is dangling another lab assignment over our heads (it's coming, he just hasn't posted it yet). Then, as part of the math test that I took today, I have a separate copy to take as an "open-book" test, which I have to finish, and get my tutor to check, by Wednesday. Not to mention my Japanese and Calc homework, that I tend to ignore until the last minute. God...I will be so glad when we get Thanksgiving break...*Begins checking off the days* Just this week, and next, then I get a week off...That's one thing I do like about college...our seasonal breaks (Thanksgiving, winter, spring) are longer than they were in HS. We get a whole week for Thanksgiving, when we only got a 4 day weekend in HS.

*Yawns* Well, that's about all I have to say about that. ^^ Now, I think that I'll go to bed.
