School Blues
Not a whole lot to say.
Talked about ethical theories with a bunch of engineers for way too damn long.
Turned in a homework assignment (three problems) upon which I spent, with a classmate, about seven hours on over the weekend. I'm hoping to hell my lab partner finished the lab report, didn't suck at it, and put my name on it.
Randomly ran into Jon and had lunch with him.
Managed not to fall asleep in my Testing and Verification of Digital Systems class. A very good thing considering there were no more than eight people in class today. Finally got my senior project schedule thinger looked over and more or less approved by a teacher.
Saw a clip from "The Color of Fear", listened to the lecturer go on about fishing for topics in conversation, ego boosting in social interaction by making the other person feel worthwhile or important (calling them, complimenting them, making time to spend with them), ego busting in social situations by making them feel worthless or trivial (ignoring them, insulting them, making excuses), and how to be a good listener.
Swung by work, got students scheduled for the quarter, updated my own schedule.
Ran back by Kemper to talk with classmates, and now to get ready for a shitty, shitty lab tomorrow.
And I guess the weekend wasn't soooooo bad. I should appreciate the time spent with friends more, especially the ones I don't see often.
