Engineers and programmers are the often-anonymous architects of society, and what you do now could make a huge difference to the lives of millions, even billions, of people in decades to come.

first day of classes.
i promptly woke up at 8a.m. how did i do it? after weeks of going to bed at 2 or 3a.m. and waking up at noon. how did i do it? i guess i'm really good at controlling my body. yessss. there were mass amounts of people walking today. i guess no one feels like they should ditch one of their first classes like Roy and i felt like doing. haha. we didn't do it of course. i have 3 classes in a row starting from 9a.m. to 12p.m. it's cool though, they're all right next to each other so i don't have a far distance to walk! yessssss. after those classes, i have a 2 hour break for lunch or sleep or anything else i want to do. at 2p.m. it's back to chem 20a. yes, back to chem 20a. doesn't that class feel familiar? yes. i took it last quarter but i need to get a better grade this time around to advance to the next chem class. it's okay. 90% of the people taking the class are re-doers. it was funny... the side of the room i sat in started a domino effect of screaming "i'm re-taking this class, too!!" one person said it and everyone just felt like being open and expressing themselves. the class is going to be a breeze. the professor is going to curve every single assignment and quiz and midterm and even the final. and after that, he's going to curve everyone's grade!!! so cool. maybe this time i'll learn something. with all those things, i have one exclamation: SCHOOL SUCKS!
Marie called me in the middle of me writing this telling me her car broke down. awww.
