A few thoughts:

My girlfriend's little brother, William, did not get accepted into the Alaska Great Lakes Project. This sucks. He's fourteen years old, has few friends, and has yet to be accepted into a community activity or group in Marshall. He's a smart kid, boy scout, polite, the whole nine. So why, Dale, was he not accepted? I'm quite sure it was nothing I wrote in my page-long recommendation letter for him. It's not his grades. I don't believe he's had any problem with his teachers. It would be nice for Will to be included in something. It's not looking like he'll be going to MHS for high school right now, anyway. Oh well.

My project for CS just isn't happening right now. I really, really have to get it done before tomorrow, and I haven't the foggiest how to do it. I have some obscure error about the sql database not able to open, which is horse shit, because I defined both the database and the table name, rechecked and reloaded the whole thing, and I'm just plain stuck. The exercise is due tomorrow, which is a big component of the assignment due Friday. I have a small stats assignment due tomorrow, as well as some accounting. I have a 3-5 page Russian paper on topic of choice due by next Thursday (?), which is not such a big deal.

I have to bring in my calendar to work to see how many conflicts there are between exams and work. Should be a real treat talking with my boss about it. On the plus side, they're training me on vending, which is like free money..I already know most of what you have to do to be on the vending shift, and while training, the work is minimal. On the downside, I have to have Oaklawn's stupid CBL (computer based learning) modules due by the 15th of December, of which I am 50% complete. At least I can do it at work and get paid for it, though.

Pretty standard issue end-of-semester stress, really. Oh, and I might take Russian in fall '09 as a language. If something happens, I'll take it sooner, but I'm pretty excited right now. Humans are fickle though, so we'll see.

I'd love to hear some comments, hope everyone's doing well.
