Happy Candy-Plunder Day!

I'm finally done my midterms! Woohoo! Still thoroughly depressed over the piece of slag I wrote for English yesterday, but I'll get over it (until I see my mark). Algebra midterm wasn't too bad. Same with the computer quiz, but being the mental giant that I am, I completely forgot about the psych study I signed up for (half a percent credit!) this afternoon. So I think I get a "warning" now. Oops. Oh well. Tonight is going crazy and eating sugar and watching TV night! Booyah!

So close....!

One...more..to go! I can make it! I can make it!

No I can't! It's too far! No more midterms! Too much! TOO MUCH!

On that happy note, I'd like to say that I have officially written the most horrendous piece ever to make its way onto paper. I had my English midterm today, and trust me, it was ugly. Remember when you knew you wouldn't fail because you knew your teachers marked on a generous bell curve and wouldn't let you fail? Ah, those were the days. I'm seriously afraid that I'll fail. *sob!* I'll just wrap myself in residence blankets now and disappear from the world...until my algebra midterm tomorrow morning.

Booyah! I OWN question two!

I r0xx0r3d question two's a55!

Just finished my psychology midterm. After studying my Chinese Canadian butt off for the past two days, and making reams of study notes (Cornell method!), and waiting for half an hour outside Etherington while the TA's finished handing out papers, setting up desks, eating a seven course meal and discussing the meaning of life and quantum theory at length while we frosh froze outside, we finally got into the auditorium and I ownzed the exam. Booyah!

Grr! Arrrrgh!

Homecoming II

Went back to SCS for the first time in 4 months. No changes there, except the tuition fee from last year has gone to the recarpeting of the entire school in a lovely pattern of blue, green and pink geometric shapes (obviously to encourage learning in half-conscious students staring blankly into air after getting up at 5.50 am to get to school on time).

Strange to see everyone again, this time all poised and mature (ha!) university students. Pleh. I don't mean to sound cynical, but half the people there wouldn't have cared if I hadn't shown up. I spent five years with these people, many of whom I got along with just fine, some of whom are now my best friends, but there was always a small minority who could never be bothered to be civil to anyone outside their social sphere. Well, they were civil, but behind that thin mask of "niceness" was a giggling mass of insincerity. There was one girl who was two lockers away from me for four years (blame the alphabet) who never once bothered to talk to me, not even when I greeted her.

Oh well. I know some of my friends who truly hated their time in high school, but I can't say that. Overall, I really miss it: having friends around you whenever you need them, being in an environment where I felt comfortable in, having teachers who care if you're doing poorly in class... But there were just some days where I felt like dust, lint, thin air, etc. because someone decided that either I wasn't worth talking to.

ANYWAY. No more bitter commentary from Hoyan today. After getting our yearbooks, Ming, Dri and I went shopping (mittens, Jenny's Place) at Fairview. That pair. They make me laugh. :) Jen came back later, so we went to the Eaton Centre (and Gen's new res) to catch up on old times. Kinda. Signed yearbooks, bought a bag, etc. I miss you guys! Why did we all have to go to different universities? Mac, Waterloo, U of T, York and Queen's! And then Mike and Ainslie are both in the U.S.

Oh, no, nostalgia settling in...

Reward for Solution

If anyone can find a generalization of the following factorizations for square matrices and prove that it holds, I will mail you my deepest gratitude. Seriously.

a.) 1 - x^3 = (1 - x)(1 + x + x^2)

b.) 1 + x + x^2 = (1 - x^3) / (1 - x)

I'm going nucking futs over this. Matrices and I do NOT get along.

A woman trapped in a girl's body (or a girl trapped in a woman's mind?), you are bursting with inspiration, dreams and abilities! You hold the simple belief that nothing can stand in your way, giving you the courage to move forward and pursue your desires. However, because your view of the world is so simple, you often overlook life's necessary little details. Don't get too swept away by your dreams that you forget to look at what's right in front of you.

Which Love Hina Girl Are You?

Surprise!

Am off on spontaneous visit home to Toronto. Will scare pants off parents (but not really, as that would only be gross).

Hee hee.

I feel a disturbance in the force...

Never mind. It's just the bass from the radio across the hall combined with the rumblings from my stomach. But I do feel the stirrings of another template design. Why am I so darn restless?

New trailer out!

The Two Towers.

Full screen version.

That is all.
