Well, I said yesterday that I would write up a blog today, and so here it is!
As mentioned, my roommate left. After my roommate left, I just sat on the couch for fifteen minutes, staring off into space. I don't know if Mintz (roommate's last name) and I were that close, but that does not prevent me from feeling lonely/saddened over it. I mean... I enjoyed our conversations, which ran the gamut of things happening locally to talks on mutual friends to discussions on economics and politics. I enjoyed the two of us swapping books all the time, and for that to be over is well... it makes me feel that a chapter has closed in my life. Sure, I still have Mintz's email and facebook info, but I no longer have direct contact, and it has been my experience with friendship that once direct contact is lost, friendships slowly fade away.
Anyway, that's pretty much it for tonight. I could write more, but I have work in the morning, and I want to get at least seven hours of sleep, so ~Night!

Another Notch on the Post Count
Well... the last month went by fast. In fact, I can pretty much say this entire year has been traveling at a break neck speed. It seems like a few days ago when I made my last post...
Finals have gone and went. I know I did not do well in my AI course, but since it is an elective, I am not too worried about it. I can always replace it with another elective, one that actually has relevance outside of academia (I'm considering database design to replace this one). I know I did well on my Interactive Graphics Course (gah, that had like... 15 hours of homework a week, all high end C++ coding =(.) I'm concerned about my system software course, but my Object Oriented Processes course I'm sure I did well in (And, I need to do well in, since it's one of the courses UCF demands me have a 2.5gpa in or better).
I am heavily considering dropping myself down to a part time student, and working full time. I don't think I can handle another semester where 3 of my classes (Graphics, OOP, and System Software) have 15+ hours of homework a piece a week on top of what I work. Until I took a month long sabbatical from my job in Orlando, I felt completely burnt out, with general feelings of depression and loneliness. Loneliness because I spent a good deal amount of time alone, working on crazy project things, and depression because, no matter what I did, I felt like I kept on missing key concepts of the classes. In fact, for about the first week of November/last week of October, I kind of gave up on everything and just spent what time I had curled up on my bed, feeling like a complete failure when I wasn't working. Taking the time off one of my jobs helped a lot, and I did get things done. Not as much stuff done as I would have like, but better than nothing.
Anyway, I want to get to sleep for work tomorrow. After work, I should post another blog about my roommate moving out on Friday, so ~Night!
