So it is Saturday night, 11:42pm. What are you doing? I am blogging because I have nothing better to do than this or play video games at this point.
My girlfriend, Alicia, had people come up to stay with her so I am sitting in my apartment listening to the music I usually listen to. The temperature is slightly warm and I have a glass of water in hand.
I would have preferred to do something more entertaining than spending the night alone but this seems to be working just fine. Imagine, all of the friends I wanted to hang out with were busy. How dare they?!
So anyways, I do not remember the last time I posted but let me just imagine that it was about two weeks ago. We had a career fair at the College of Engineering. I got a few interviews which was quite neat, I also got to hand out my resume with the wrong phone number on it. My bad. The week slowly melted into the next because the entire week I was working on two different class assignments. Bioinformatics was slightly difficult but manageable but Neural Networks kicked my butt. I ended up getting an 86/100 on it, which was fine with me, a solid B never threatens anyone when you are an undergraduate taking a graduate level class doing math you have never done before…
My part time job has been interesting and I have come to appreciate office politics, in a not at appreciative way. The bosses and full-time employees are at odds with each other, communication breakdowns have surfaced and there is nothing for me to do but twiddle my thumbs while I wait for them to get their minds wrapped around the problems and MY solution. MY is capitalized because I was the one who figured out the solution to the problem concerning emails not being sent correctly. But anyways, enough egoism. Time to switch my music to something a little less harsh for the midnight hour.
Alright, back from that momentary break.
I have been reading a number of good articles recently, I usually find very few that I am willing to propagate however, here are the two best ones.

So my reposting of those links makes me a sort of better person.
My goals for the next week are to control my stress better, get my homework done, and work on the freelance programming project I have. Whoo!! But enough about me, it is midnight and I should jet.
