Other than that girl, I think that I would have done a better job. So boring. Except for listening to names to look for odd ones.
Later, we went back to my friend's house. We played Bull with him and his family. I never did win, but I did pretty decent both times.
While I was wandering around waiting for my brother to get ready to leave the Pastor's House (my friend is one of the Pastor's Kids), I got to thinking. And irrational number is any number that cannot be represented by a whole number divided by another whole number. Pi is an irrational number. Therefore, it follows that, for a circle, either one or both of the diameter and circumference must also be an irrational number. And the funny thing was, this took me about 2 minutes to figure out while I was using the bathroom. My mind is weird.

I went to class. We had cupcakes and milk while we filled out the teacher evaluations. Our professor went over some more stuff. It was the last class of Linear Algebra and Differential Equations that I'm required to have.
Part of the way through the class, the teacher said, "I think you have a lot of math in your future, Jesse."
Almost without thinking, I answered, "Hopefully, it's the addition of currency."
And that was my good line for the day...

Okay, today, I woke up. This was a strange event as I usually leap out of bed still half-asleep and aren't awake until I sit down for my first class. Then I realize I forgot to put pants on. Then I realize that I sleep in them anyways, so it's all good.
In class today we went over a problem for extra credit. It was pathetically easy and she did it on the board. It gave us a letter grade and a half on the test added. That will put me at about 105 or thereabouts. Heh, I like Calculus. Maths without numbers are much more manageable.
After that I worked on my independent study and talked to Myrh about Kenshin. Kenshin gets on my nerves. A lot. But that's not anything new.
We got some more of the program's bugs out. Seems I made a big mistake when we were converting and that screwed some things up.
I love messing with people's minds. Harisar from VI was just on and I played the grandest game of mental double guessing on him since ... I dunno when. It was quite fun. But he lost, unfortunately. He was beaten before he started, actually. It's a cruel game I play.

Okay, so, today. What did I do?
Firstly, I woke up to the sound of my brother playing video games. It was eight something in the morning. Eight something in the morning! He was playing Tribes. It's a grand old game, granted, but ... eight something in the morning! Oh, well, I had to be up by nine at least to go to...
Geography. The next stop of my day's journey. I went to the class, having missed all of last week. And I flat-out told him I had no excuse. In front of the whole class. Hah. He was a little disappointed (I think he thinks I like the class), but at least I was honest. I detest Geography. I loathe Geography. Geography is a thing out of Astfgl's Hell. We were reviewing for the final though, so I couldn't miss.
The next class was Advanced C++. I lurves Advanced C++. And not just 'cause the teacher tells me to shut up 'cause I'm a know-it-all ass. It's because I like to program. I love to sit there and punch in code and see that after I've done all that punching that it's all wrong. Because then I get to debug it. Debugging is my forte. That sounded weird, but it's true. Anyways, we learned about overloading operators in Managed C++, which we needed to know for the final project.
From there I went home. I sang in the car when I went home. I generally always sing in the car when I'm alone. Heh, sang the signs I saw... Yes. I'm weird.
I started the test run of "Achoo's Notes" on VI. That I think will be cool. I think it will also make the Aide-de-camp a position that actually does something. Cruel, aren't I?
From then it was back to school to help a friend finish up our last Maths Lab for the year. It was so easy that we sat there and worked on debugging our project. We got it to compile finally. *laughs evilly* No one else had reached that point. The project is due on Sunday. Muaha.
Nothing more really to report, except that the punishment is taking effect. I suppose I'll have to live with it. *Sighs*

An explanation is in order, of course.
I'm quite busy at the moment because of finals and final projects going down. Yet, I want to spend one night of the weekend with my friends each weekend. Just hangin' with them, y'know? That means I have to do all my stuff (homework, etc) on the other two nights.
So I met one of my friends in the hallway at college and he told me they'd be watching a movie tonight. Tonight is family night so I told him to call me before they put on the movie so I could come over. He said he'd do it.
I go to class. It was pretty interesting. We talked about using Matrixes with Linear Transforms and the Eigen- thingeys. I like Math. It's reliable.
After class, I had to run my sisters around town. One to an arts and crafts show downtown (Ruth) and one to gymnastics (Rebecca). While I waited for Becca to get out of gymnastics, I read the second part of The Once and Future King. It was interesting.
Anyways, I got home. I stuck around waiting for my friend to call. 6 o'clock passed without a call. Then 7 o'clock came and went. By then I was starting to get quite depressed.
At about 8ish, I was sent to get a movie. I picked up Johny English (Which is a thouroughly detestable movie, by the way). I came home, expecting to have a message for me to get over to whoever's house everybody was hanging at. There was none.
The family, minus my twin brother who had left to hang at about 6, met for our Family Time, which was the reason I hung around for so long. No call came during that either. I was slipping further and further down into being sad. My Mom suggested I call around for them, but I couldn't do that.
We put on the movie and watched it without a single call. And then I came up here and wrote this. And that's why I feel sad. That's why I feel angry.
They call for my brother when he's not there. They forget about me.
I set aside this evening. That means I won't get to spend the normal evening, tommorrow, with them. And it hurts.
Demnable people.

Well, today I woke up. And then went back to sleep. I skipped Geography. It's the most boringestest class I have. I hates it. It is not my precious. Hence, I skipped it.
So I went in for Advanced C++, my favoritestest class. It was fun. We learned more about the Microsoft extensions to C++. And what we have to pay to use them. I don't know if I like the Microsoft extensions as much as I like Native C++, but you live and you learn.
Hehe, here's where the bit about "Thou Shalt Not Speak" comes in. See, I'm quite good with C++ and suchlike. And I have a good memory. And I speak up in class. Therefore, I do a lot of talking during the lecture whenever he asks a question. Finally, I answer a question and the professor looks at me and just mouths, "Can you shut up? Please?" I nod and laugh...
Then I went to my friend's apartment and we had lunch. And I sat aroung watching Tom and Jerry. I do not like watching mindless cartoons. It just doesn' work for me. Not amusing, not relaxing. Just terrifically boring.
From there I went to lab. We got to new Calculus labs, one for actual use and one for a bonus. The actual one was quite easy.
After that I hung around in the lab, helped my friend tutor a bit and listened to a girl talk about her relationship problems. I do a lot worse advising people face to face. In fact, I tend not to do it. I just think my advice, which is probably not the best approach.
Then me and my friend were supposed to code for the final project. However, our third group member didn't show. I put together my stuff and the stuff the professor had given us in class and made it compile. With a hammer. Muahahahaha. Die evil compiler. Die! Die! Die!
Ahem. Anyways, I find myself doing this a lot. Namely, getting my stuff done and nobody else having it done. And since we get a group grade, it worries me. Group projects are not a thing I like, at least when one of the members I don't see enough to bully into doing his work. And the other one just didn't do it, which really quite irks me.
I broke down and went to Borders at the mall. I was going into new book withdrawal, so I picked up Carpe Jugulum and The Once and Future King. My sister's reading CJ and I'm reading TOaFK. It's amusing, to say the least.
Nothing really philosophical at the moment....

Item 1: A new plot has been birthed, a new goal formed. Ministership in VI. It shall be mine, it will mine!* It will probably take me a while to get it though. No matter, I'm quite a patient person. I'd date my serious chances starting ... say ... four weeks after the mutiny plot fails. At that point, I think I will have toured two ships, if possible.
Item 2: Well, we're not going to say much about item 2. Item 2 involves singing. Unfortunately, haven't had a chance to sing some good songs yet. *laughs*
Item 3: My calc teacher had a short (15-20 minute) talk with me about the class and teaching and methods and stuff. Now, it sounded like she was trying to discourage me from teaching. However, she said I'd be good. It was odd. She thanked me for doing the study thing though.
Item 4: The one person other than my two best friends said the study thing was very helpful for her and she thinks this is the best she's done on a test in there yet. I was muchly encouraged.
Item 5: We're watching Secondhand Lions tonight, which has to be in my top ten movie list. I lurves it. Whoever suggested that Torry Steggims be played by Haley Joel Osment in a QBIII movie was a genius.
Item 6: The Smelt is annoying me. People are not sending in their articles. And I need their articles to publish. Must post a notice on VI.
*Kudos to whoever can guess what movie that was from. I can't remember. Maybe Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang or the animated Robin Hood by Disney.

What is important is what happened yesterday and last night and whatnot. Or at least that's what I'm going to put down.
Yesterday, I went to school and we had political discussion in Geography. As I don't have hard-and-fast views politically, I didn't say much. What I thought was funny was how many people were arguing and not listening at all. They didn't care what your opinion was, as long as they said they were right. It was sort of sad.
Moving onto C++, we learned more stuff about the language and using it with Microsoft's extensions. That was interesting. We have to convert our program to that now. It shall be fun. I like programming, hence it will be fun. And since we don't have to rethink the project, it shouldn't be that hard.
Lastly, in Maths Lab, I announced my study thing. There was silence. We reviewed for the test the rest of the time.
I went home, tutored my brother (I do his homeschooling) and then I went back to "teach." My two best friends there showed up, of course. Only one other person did. She dragged a friend in later though.
Observation of the day: When you have an infatuation or crush or are in a relationship, attractive girls are less attractive. How interesting. No wonder the married can manage it... *laughs*

Hem, hem, feel sorta rap-hiphop-y at the moment. Which is kinda odd because I haven't listened to rap/hiphop in a while. Or maybe that's the reason I feel that way. Maybe it's because my mind has a sort of addiction to rap/hiphop and I haven't shot up in a while and my mind in depravation is making up by rapping by itself. Or maybe I'm just weird.*
Now, what's going on today? Because I obviously haven't done anything yet. Except for going to the Little Crazy Person's room and getting a drink. First I have to go to the most boring class of all. Geography. I hate geography. It's so boring. I doodle much in that class.**
Then it's on to Advanced C++, which has to be my favorite class. I lurves it. I learn all kinds of cool stuff in that class. And I have projects that are cool as ... a very cool thing. Too bad they're all group projects. I don't like group projects. I always feel like I end up doing the most work. Drat having the best grasp of everything.
From there, it's to lunch with my friends. Mac and Cheese and Grilled Cheese sandwiches. Should be quite good.
After that, it's off to Math Lab where I make my announcement about the "teaching" session. I'm nervous about that. *Hopes people won't just point and laugh at him*
Vell, that's all I have to say for now, so I shall leave ya now.
*When in doubt, get a bigger hammer. Er, I mean, I'm weird.
**Not respectable doodles, just swords and weapons and weird misproportioned critters.

*Laughs uproariously* Dunno really why I said that, I just felt like it.
Onto subjects of the day. I woke up at noonish, rolled out of bed and got online. I chatted with Ras a bit, checked my mail, checked my LJ checked Terrouge and checked VI. I think it was in that order. Anyways, I owe two posts on VI. One to Draygan and Ras and one to Tirete. That's all I owe currently, methinks. Maybe I should post something in the raid thread though...
Moving on, I went to class which starts at one. We were reviewing for the test. I was quite bored. LADE comes easy to me, as do most mathematical subjects. So I was bored. Unfortunately, a lot of the students are totally lost. So I got to thinking. My thoughts went something like this.
I want to teach, right?
I'm good at Maths, right?
These people aren't, right? *Laughs*
These people need help, right?
I can help, right?
So I'll ask the prof if she minds if I grab a room Thursday night and open up a pre-test lecture from Master Jesse.
After the class, I asked her. I think she was quite surprised, but she was enthusiastic about it. I'm going to announce it in the Math Lab tomorrow. Hopefully some people will actually come. I'll most likely be just going through the review problems she gave us on the board and making sure everybody understands them.
*Rubs Hands Together and Grins* This should be fun.

Actually, I think 'tis a good release of pent-up words. As some people say, everybody's allotted a certain amount of words. Some people who have a lot of words are unfortunately born quiet, like me. So I've gotta release them through the typed word. Heh, random philosophical thought of the day...
And what have I done today, you ask. Well, after my last post, I went to sleep, intending to nap for two hours. The alarm clock didn't go off and I barely had time to get to school to do homework with my buds. So now I'm running on four hours, definitely a bit low for me.
Did the homeworks and then went to class. We had a speech from the teacher asking how she could help us do better and such. Half the class doesn't turn in the homework. Most are probably failing. This she doesn't like. This she doesn't deserve as a teacher. She's very good and the students don't do her justice. I think I do though. She wants to head-hunt me out of Computer Programming and into the Math department. I laugh at this. Too good a coder to leave it, I say...
To list what happened:
Well, I got the coding done that was supposed to happen. And I'm pretty sure I did a good job at it. However, I have not yet got the UML for it done. That's kind of minor though and I can fill it in later.
I didn't get the Calculus problems done, so I'm going to do them after I wake up but before I go into school. They shouldn't be that bad though, except for one of them, and I'm pretty good at Maths.
I got all three of the posts I owed people out of the way. Or I will. I got two of them out, the one's that Ras was prodding me about. Now he can prod other people about posting in the threads. After all, me and he should not be the only ones posting. 'Twould get real old, real fast. And we'd have to auto people. And me hates autoers...
Fourthly, I got to talk to my regretfully-fallen-from-good-friendship friend Michell. She was doing odd. I really don't know how things are going with her. I read into her journal a bit and was ... well ... a bit shaken. Shall definitely be praying for her.
And then I had a long, long talk with Val. *Shakes head* Whoda thunk it? A person I most strongly disliked quite a while ago has gotten into the upper three of the Strongly-Liked People list. This friendship shall indeed bear watching, if only by me in my curiosity about who I am...
*Pokes around* I think I'm addicted to this thing...
