On thursday it'll be 2 weeks since last time I had a good nights sleep. I don't really mind. I am having fun. What is bothering me more is the fact that breakfast today as a great dispointment and I ended up having a cup of coffee. Now I am supposed to be in chinese class, but I decided to skip. It is the second class I have missed this entire semester so I am not counting it as too horrible and it is only day 5 where we go over self made dialouges, I made a monolouge so it doesn't matter much, and the last homework, which I only handed in half of, so I don't want it back. I am having a very worried Silver in my head, he is fretting about and feeling guilty. I just finished his character sheet, gonna show the others at lunch. But before I go to lunch I need to go solar observing, we are using the telescopes to look at the sun. Yesterday we did some observing, I got the moon and a second look at Saturn down, but I need a cluster. Oh I need a nice moonless night. After Comp Sci class I stayed and told the teacher that I do infact like his class, in class he seemed more than a bit sad that so many (90%) in the class will not do anymore computer science based on this class. I thought he needed a bit of cheering up, because, as I told him, the classes are way better now and I am enjoying them a lot. I also told him that thanks to this course I'll do more programming when I thought that I was a pure hardware person (HW is still closest to my heart, but anyway...). We then talked about my future in Comp Sci and apperently UMass has a really good robotics department. I need to talk to Prof. Jones and who ever ends up being my minor advisor about that. We also talked about grad school. We concluded that I'll pretty much get paid to go to grad school, I am an international student (and Norway really supports engineering/compsci grad students), I am doing Engineering/Robotics/Comp Sci, and I am female, all of them good a good combination. A dream combination of classes would be Engineering, Robotics, Neuroengineering (I need bio for that one, so that will most likely not happen) and some Astro and Programming thrown in for fun. Oh if I only had more time. i kind of want to stay in school forever, just soaking up knowledge. Staying in my little cell of geekyness.... But that won't happen, real life is going to come know on my chamber door sometime in the future (about 5 years fro now) and say 'Nevermore'. Or rather say 'GET A JOB!'.
But yeah, I am happy. Life is good, the sun is up and I am gaming far too much for my own good. Next week there are a programming final project to do, finishing up the observing and then there are exams, Chinese (Tue 8. 9AM ), Econ and Physics (self scheduled). Well I guess it could be worse...
