I feel very unprepared for this semester. About every one of my classes require much reading or work, and I'm having trouble keeping my mind on any one of those things that relate to school. My first project for Compilers is due on Wed at noon. I tried looking at the skeleton code, and what was in the book, but it seems that I am at a loss as to what in the world I am supposed to be doing with the input file. I know what the output should look like, but getting from point A to point B seems treacherous(sp?).

This semester is going to suck. And what's worse is, there's a decent probability that I will be militarily activated before the end of it. There is a "rumored date", but you know, that whole OPSEC thing again.

Hey, everybody. Hey, Dr. Nick (stoled right from Bryan and the Allen & Co. newsgroup).

So, I had quite a boring weekend, for the most part. I would tell you what I did, but then the Army might get mad for me violating OPSEC (operational security). But I did go to the Mall of America. And it was freaking huge. And I did buy such items for those who are my friends. And I was able to convince to girl working at BK to sell me food, even though they were (supposedly) closed. It wasn't that hard, I just had to pretend I was somewhat upset, and to tell her that I was in line before they turned out the light to the sign. They even still had the rodeo cheese burger. That's the kind of stuff that I want to see at a burger king. No half-assed attempts at a angus burger. They need to bring back the western whopper too. That was one good burger. And also the sour dough bacon sandwich of some kind. Burgers with bacon = mmm mmm good.

WHEEEEE!!!! Who's up for a shower? Too Bad, you're not invited.

Stupid puss crap in the corner of my eyes. Ever since I stopped taking out my contacts everyday. At least I save the 15 mintues trying to make them go back in.

- be back Sunday after 5pm sometime, internet is not expected.

All sorts of things happening this week. As it turns out, I will not be heading to Minnesota until tomorrow morning. My flight leaves at 7:55a, there's a short lay over in Chicago, and then I get to Minneapolis at 11:08a. For the rest of that day, I'm not sure what we're doing, but I might see if I can go to the Mall of America. Though it might be more fun if I had some friends to go with... I hardly know anybody at my new unit. Also, now instead of being back Saturday, it won't be until later on Sunday.

On a side note, I ran into Jasin's sister at Citgo today. Other than his excessive drinking on International Tuesdays :), he seems to be doing fine, so she says. She was also unusually talkative, considering she had never really acknowledged my existance before. She even invited me to go partying with her and her friends once I turn 21. Yeah, I don't know about that...

I should put a link to my favorite web comics and other sites up here. Seems like an appropriate idea for a blog. Just to give people an idea of things.

Having already been said on the Allen & Co. group, I'll just summarize: a group of wiccans came and performed voodoo on my car, and it suddenly caught fire. Good thing there were some Shiite Muslums nearby to wave their heads around and make everything better. Needless to say, my car appears to be operational with no money being spent. Not even to park in the dreaded Grant Street garage.

PS - No cars were burnt in the making of this message. But one did fix itself. No mechanics required.

I changed the Allen & Co. comic page a small bit. Combined the comparison and character pages into one and made it a little skinnier so that it looks better on smaller screens.

I don't think my Dad was too happy yesterday that I wanted to go to Allen & Co. instead of having a look at my car. It doesn't bother me too much having to leave it there in the garage as long as I get his car to drive, at least during the day when he's using the company truck. When he called it seemed as if he had expected me to have already bought a new starter for it. I'm like, I don't even know for sure it is that which is the problem, and I'm not going to buy something based on my own diagnosis with the little experience with cars that I have.

Crappy-dappy-doo-dah. My car won't start. Currently it is sitting on the second floor of the University Street garage. I had to call my mom at 245am to wake her up and have her come get me. She's going to be using my CG until we get my car out of there. It, of course, will be wearing my mom's A permit until that time. I think I'm going to drive my dad's Bravada and just park in the Grant Street garage and pay the ten bucks (ouch) per day for that.

In an unrelated story, I have class in six-point-five hours, and I'm still awake.
