Okay, this is a triumph that hopefully other people WILL understand (as I'm going to be talking about it a lot) but I figured it goes here because, well, it's a personal triumph. And no one will ever get it just like I get it. Anyways. Here goes. Remember quals? That test with the August 6th due date? The five 10 page essays?

:D

In other news, I hit the correct note loud and pretty on the tenor post for Dakota Wind tonight.

And I didn't snap at many people who deserved it.

And I stepped out of my comfort zone and hugged someone.

I managed to figure out the Proforma Update run ... even if I don't know why some of them didn't match...

I also came up with an idea or two that need putting into play, which ought to make life easier on people. *touch wood*

I wrote a Prolog code to evaluate the grammaticality of simple sentences! And it WORKS! :D (Now if only I could figure out how to save my test files...)

I can understand this, I think. Prolog is certainly an.... interesting language to learn, to say the least.

i took the time to design and pattern out a new acoustic guitar this evening! i'm excited about the design, should be a really really nice guitar. considering how busy and how tired i am, this is a big deal. i haven't had the chance to spend much time on anything but the band, work, school, and my fiancee. though i feel guilty that i'm spending time with anna, and thinking that i would really like to continue the guitar stuff. it's 9:30 pm, i could have already roughed out a side brace jig! oh well.

I got an A on my multivariate statistics exam!

He does not give out As lightly. Lots of students got less than Bs.

But not me. I got an A.

And he called the exam "impressive!"

I am so flippin proud.

I just ran through setting up a kerberized ldap nss server. It's the first sysadmin-y thing I've done in a few months (well, besides the day to day stuff on the notebook). It feels good to know I can still do that kind of thing.

I dressed up as someone and asked someone else to dress up like a different someone and it involved striped stockings.

i went to the corner store and i did not buy hostess cupcakes.
you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

I did not cry in front of my professor when I was looking at the test key in comparison to my test.

It was really, really, really bad.

Today we went to Lowell, Mass, and we saw the building for The Sun and we were close to Boston and I was just so filled with joy. We have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age and just because you can't see fairies dancing on the lawn doesn't mean they're not real.

I woke up at 5:00 AM and spent an hour scoring a Rorshach!

Oh, and I scheduled time to talk with a professor about some stuff that I don't want to talk about!

I can definitely understand that. :D Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond...

I made the Christmas lights on a stage prop light up by using a spoon and duct tape to complete the circut because some idiot lost the switch.

I cried onstage and made my director cry while I did it.
