woot~!
sem break at last~! however, the only difference this makes from the ordinary school days is the fact that nothing graded has to be submitted in the near future . . .
on studies one sem down. that's basically it. but looking back on things, i find nothing but very remarkable memories. it's amazing what sorts of miracles we pulled off . . .
1. a fully operational faura tour, complete with a homemade touchscreen hardware and webcam control : 3 weeks
2. a finite automaton tabular editor : 2 weeks
ok, that's basically it, but considering the amount of documentation and peripherals that these projects wanted . . . *shudder*
on vanity i got a haircut about a month ago, from bench fix. it was the second haircut i got from a parlor . . . not that you'd notice the difference now, just thought it was worth mentioning . . .
on boredom got some rest (2 days) before thesis work began again. thought i would be thankful for that, but as it happens, i was bored to heck. it was just gawdawful how slow life is without school to keep you distracted . . . and much more problematic. boredom and deprression just set in, for no apparent reason. some have told me that i was shallow to think about being lonely and being all depressed about it. and maybe they're right. maybe i am shallow and spoiled. but that won't change the fact that lonilness has set in. in fact, the very thought only makes it worse. i don't know how other people keep it from setting, or how they hide it if they do . . .
on more work regcom work starts . . . shi~a~wa~se!!!!
on alcohol and its effects my personal philosophy on alcohol. never drink it to drown problems. that's probably why i almost never did. that was a mistake i hope never to repeat. but on this case, alcohol has made its effect a little more than personal. it has created and it has broken bonds . . . we had an alcohol session to celebrate the end of a gruelling semester, and to bond -- all the few of us. but i ended up learning quite a handful: most stunning of which is:
on two complex thoughts how hard it is to discover yourself. but what if discovering one's self means deciding one's self? is there even any difference? and who should you invovle in your dilemma? should you face it alone? should you expect friends? should you expect someone special? should you even think about that?
le coeur a ses raissons, que la raissons ne connait point. Pascal. the heart has it's reasons, whereof reason knows nothing.
