WHAT. Small world, man. A&M has been my home for going on five years.Originally Posted by Gymleaders
Well, since I had the impulse to respond I guess I better be on topic. Day great so far. Interviewing for a second job. Will hear back from them Friday. Also have a medical school interview at Baylor COM Friday, so I'm super pumped about that.
Yup.

successful peru right here
I turned 21 on Monday, I spent most of it watching wrestling and Game of Thrones with my roommate, I had to explain wrestling to her though. Up until 3 that night and 5:30 last night ~_~
Re: How was your day?
So, so far I've spent half of the day monitoring the situation in Ottawa atm with two of my closer friends living there.
I've heard back from one already as she was at home when the entire situation began. Her classes were cancelled so I know for sure that she's safe.
On the other hand, my other friend goes to UOttawa and I'm not sure as to what her class schedule looks like. Judging by the lack of response however, I feel as though she was at school at the time and she's still on lockdown (or just ignoring me, idk). Looks like the lockdown is just precautionary however, as the school's near Parliament Hill.
Quite honestly, this kind of thing infuriates me, the fact that this type of thing can happen in Canada as well as the fact that someone would just shoot a soldier at the pineapple-ing war memorial. From what I hear, the military personnel there are quite open to conversation with tourists and visitors and are quite used to people simply approaching them, and the fact that someone would just take advantage of that openness and exploit it... just pisses me off honestly.
A personal aside, I've wanted to go on a trip to Ottawa to not only meet up with my friends but also take in the sites of the city including Parliament Hill, and simply because of the events that transpired today, that puts a damper on some of these plans. A shame really, no way it's gonna be as open as it was before after today.
EDIT: looks like the UOttawa friend slept in today and missed her classes, so that's good.
Re: How was your day?
Awesome! My boyfriend goes there so I always visit every other weekend or so. I live about 2-3 hours away from CStation.
Re: How was your day?
Best of luck man. I know you will do well!
Re: How was your day?
The only places I can think of that're 2-3 hours away are like southern Houston, my hometown area (Cedar Park) and Dallas/Waco. That's awesome! Nice to meet a fellow Texan.
You da best. Thanks!
Re: How was your day?
Pancake lives in Texas? Neat. I moved here just over a year ago myself. lol
So, my day consisted of thoroughly thinking about these acquisitions and whether or not I'll be good over the course of the next couple of months in terms of finance.

This weekend is going to be one hell of a long weekend of waiting anxiously.
Re: How was your day?
Yeah I live south of Houston in the Galveston area. :)
Re: How was your day?
Spent the day with my boyfriend!
We went to starbucks, and to Game to get the shiny event Gengar from the pokemon event, and we went to pizza hut for a meal (which was amazingly delicious and fun) and looked around some shops and just generally hung out together :)
Being with him is amazing. I don't think I've been this happy in.. ever. I look at him and smile and he catches me looking and he pulls a funny face and makes me laugh and arghh he's so funny and sweet and handsome and I can't believe how well this is going.
Re: How was your day?
@Panacea, @Gymleaders A&M sux.
JKJK, but congrats Kevin & good luck! :)
Starting to give up hope that UT will actually finish reviewing my application for Spring semester. Put in my spring semester class request at UTSA, perks of being an SI is I get 1st pick over everyone regardless of hour classification. Signed up for Modern Physics, Lab, Classical Mechanics, Mathematical Physics, and Fundamental of Astronomy. That Astro class SOUNDS like it's an easy intro class, but the description sounds hard core; "Among the topics covered are the celestial sphere, basic orbit theory, stellar parameters, binary stars and light curves, and basic introduction to stellar spectral classification." Yea I'm kinda worried about course load, but for the Astro minor I gotta get this stuff under my belt eventually.
Of course, if I get into UT all of this is moot because after Physics 2 the degree plans completely diverge in terms of course requirements.
P.S. I hate chemistry.
Re: How was your day?
Has been quite a day, with some house viewing (long story short, things at home have been decided to be better with separating, and so a place for self has been found, but the other party still requires a place) with some of them being very nice.
Then there was work, long ordeal, but then the real thing came through when I got home, somebody very important to me reported the passing away of a close relative, and so I am concerned and a little rattled for now.
Re: How was your day?
Had Bayesian data analysis midterm just now. Grad level course. Open notes and open textbook.
That's going on my list of top 10 easiest exams I've ever taken. Lmao what a joke.
Re: How was your day?
Bayonetta 1+2 arrived today! Currently playing through Bayonetta 1 again before I move onto the sequel. God this game is so much fun.
Re: How was your day?
Moved back to maple for no reason at all, if anyone is on Khaini feel free to add me a buddy.( @Razmos)

Re: How was your day?
Attended an award ceremony today for this scholarship I randomly got. An important Physics person at UTSA was sitting at my table but I couldn't introduce myself, partly cause of timing and partly cause of intimidation. :(
I got a cool medal and everyone clapped for me, felt really nice! It kinda hit me in the heart when in the ceremony they asked all the family to stand for applause for being so supportive and the back bone of all the scholarship recipients (all my family is spread across the states and really doesn't have much to do with me). Not that I don't think my family supports and encourages me, but I definitely feel alone in this journey. Oh well, more power to me.
Still waiting on UT to make a damn decision on my application for Spring.
Re: How was your day?
This "study week" of mine has turned into a flashback of Summer 2013 because I easily went from sleeping at normal times to sleeping when I feel tired and waking up when I want to and replaying games for the nth time. Felt like I was back in my "shell" because I haven't left my house/talked to anyone since Sunday and I've been eating from my box of 20 shin ramyun instant noodles without a care in the world. Luckily I'm scheduled to work tomorrow and school starts back up on Monday so this won't be a repeat of last summer when I'm at home for weeks at a time
Re: How was your day?
Been studying very interesting pieces of malware related to Steam.
This malware is particularly vicious. If you run it, it will steal all of your DotA2, CS:GO, Steam Backpack, and TF2 items and give them to the hacker. Do not run any random executable that tells you it's an official part of Steam.
Other than that, work is going famously:
- I might be going to Moscow for a New Year's celebration. Company's dime.
- My boss gave me an interesting offer to travel all over North and South America and teach people how to reverse engineer and protect themselves from cyberthreats. I turned down the opportunity because, while I like travel, I want to travel on my own terms.
- Good chance I'll be flying out to Cancun soon as well. Company's dime again.
- Should be getting promoted in April of next year.
- Was approached by a recruiter for Sony because they're interested in my skills. I'll probably end up turning down the job.
And that's only the start. It's an exciting time to live, to be sure.
Re: How was your day?
I made apple pie today. What I learned is I need to make more pies
Re: How was your day?
Work sucked today, but today was still completely awesome because I got this in the mail today :

Re: How was your day?
Been making some huge changes in my life.
- Finally had the balls to quit maple
- Tried a new... "herbal" medication to help with Crohn's and my appetite, and boy does it help lmao
- Moved on from my ex after over a year of struggling with that. This was especially difficult since there wasn't really anyone to talk to (except you, ya friggen lurker) and pretty much no one knew about it. It was basically a "she's the one" type of deal and I couldn't/wouldn't accept that wasn't the case until recently.
- Started applying to graduate school
And I turn 20 next week. New decade new me?
