SPRINT TO THE FINISH

I have never pulled an all-nighter before, but I came pretty damn close last night. I worked pretty hard from after dinner on, but I was very effective after midnight.

I took only a few breaks for food and by 5:30am, I had finished a big question in my assignment. I rolled into bed around 6:15am and by then it was light outside.

Before sleeping, I briefly entertained the thought of going to my animation physics class at 9:30am. It was about only three hours away. It didn't make any sense though, either I'd be sleeping in class for sure or sleeping in my bed. I chose to sleep in bed.

I set my alarm for 11am and I dozed off.

11am came way too soon and I got up kind of groggy. My assignment was due at 5pm. I had about six hours left to do as much as I could. My first thought was that I was thirsty and hungry. A cup of hot water slaked my thirst, but I had no food in my room. It was nearly lunchtime and I wanted to get a hearty meal that would last me until 5pm. I decided to get a burger from The Barn. They've got nearly a pound of ground beef in them. It took me less than 15 minutes to come back with my food.

After consuming my food, I started worked again until 12:30pm. I worked steadily throughout the afternoon. I was amazed. I was not distracted in the least. Usually my mind wanders quite a bit when I work, but not this time. I was very focussed. Around 4pm, I managed to hammer out the last two questions in my assignment, though I was missing parts here and there. The last part clearly was going to take several hours, so I was done.

At 5pm, I went to class and handed in my assignment. I won't get an "A", but no one can doubt the effort I put into it.

I am going to enjoy sleeping in tomorrow.

ST. PADDY'S DAY

The people from SJC who went out for St. Paddy's Day just came home. A few people are inebriated. There's some talk about underage dating. The drinking is continuing in the foyer. My assignment still beckons me.

By the way, Wikipedia... you are my saviour.

I DON'T WANT TO DO WORK

An hour ago, I completed my presentation here at SJC. It went very well. My friend Garrett (also a former tester) showed to listen as well.

I finished well within the hour. I think the audience was kept fairly entertained throughout. I wasn't nervous at all and the words just came out naturally. I didn't really work off a script so most of it was just casual remarks. All my demos went off without a hitch. The game crashed exactly when I thought it would.

The whole thing just reinforced my belief that as long as I know what I'm talking about, I like giving representations.

Unfortunately, I feel like doing nothing else this evening. This I cannot let happen since I have an assignment due this Thursday. It's worth 10% of my total mark in the class, so it's not a trivial assignment. The bad news is that I'm having a lot of trouble with. I'm probably going to have say goodbye to a huge chunk of marks on this one. I'll probably won't finish in time. It bothers me, but what can you do? This stuff happens sometimes in school. You just move on.

Until Thursday though, I have to keep at it, which isn't something I feel like doing tonight. Well, you know me though, I'll get back into the saddle in about a half hour or so.

See you later.

I'M A DADDY!!!



Well, actually I'm not. I was digging around the old mainframe and found this picture of me and Violet. She's the daughter of my friend Ryan, who I still need to get a hold of. Ryan, I'll be in touch soon, I promise.

CRAVING

Dinner was less than stellar tonight. I can't describe in words my craving for a bucket of KFC chicken right now. I settle for chicken with only four special herbs and spices instead of the usual eleven.
