Survived the Apocalypse

Which was unexpected... well i may have over hyped the whole thing in my head but by the time the day came around i was expecting something a little more epic. Atleast everyone else to be as excited about it as i was, but reality rarely coincides with our imagination. Still it would have been nice to see Big-foot or Cthulhu or the monster from Alien, or a Kraken or other Extra-terrestrials or Zombies or werewolves... well i suppose it's better things didn't align with my imagination. I did get my degrees in the mail after we would have died so that was a bit exciting, i have them hung up on my wall in dollar store frames, which seems silly but they look good. Even if they were designed without any desire of making them functional frames, but i got them working with folded up paper needle-nose pliars and a couple of keyrings. As rediculous as it sounds that's what it took to make them usable.. but now that they're up they do look good, possibly better in person though.





Given they are only Associate degrees but i can say that i'm fairly happy about it, i have one up next to my whiteboard as constant encouragement, now if only i could move on to the bigboy college everything would be grand. Community college is cool but i'm really at the point where i should be in a 4 year, it's just a pain getting in. Luckily with prop 31 i think it was, the schools get more money and i have a much better chance of getting in. Plus i hear the degrees should help :P ... and those required 4 classes for transfer are finally taken care of..

Beyond that i'm waiting for the next semester to start in about 8 days, still need to pick up my books, i'll be sitting at like 18 units if i get into my last class which is more then they even allow at ARC anymore but all i took last semester was Ethics, Film and Physics(Mechanics and Fluids : Calculus based) which i found to be ridiculously difficult but i hear it's one of the easier physics classes. It's truly amazing stuff, i wish i was better at it but at the same time there's a whole world of stuff i need to learn so hopefully it's something i can come back to some day. Still have another required physics class to go though and i might take a third physics class to knock out a science requirement and get an AS-T for physics which would be pointless when i'm in the 4 year so maybe not.. I'd still like to take the class though. Physics is hard, but it's really really cool.


My Nanowarimo book is still sitting at where i left it in November, i haven't forgotten about it and neither have i given up on it. I was hoping to work on it in small intervals here and there. right now it's probably closer to trash then anything, but i like it. 43k words to go. Which is totally something i'd be proud of when i meet my maker. It's just one of those journey's you take for your soul you know? I may even cheat and only work on it during the Nanwarimo's so i wouldn't really be participating so much as working on a book i want to finish but screw it, you only live once and i want to finish this book.

Beyond that i've been fairly busy, my computer died over the process of four days which got to me a bit since i was frantically reinstalling operating systems until the point that the harddrive stopped allowing me too. Luckily Linux is Boss and can be run from a Live-CD. If i didn't need Windows for half the classes i take i'd just switch over :) Anyway in the end it took me far to long to get that Situated as well as many other things breaking around me.. some months just aren't your month. Sometimes i swear i've pissed off a supernatural Deity.
