inconsistently consistent

Rarely do I decide not to post so consistently when nothing is going wrong. In fact, earlier tonight was the first real "wrong" others would find hard to argue since the last post: after filling my Brita water filter pitcher, I dropped it on a hard floor. The bottom cracked off. I wasted an hour duct-taping it back together, but it still leaks...

problem will be remedied this weekend when I go home (likely the last time before May 10th, my final final). What I am setting myself up for is an all-nighter Sunday night unless I can get more done than is likely tomorrow afternoon, seeing I have the last Statistics test before the final and need to turn in a rough draft of a 10-page paper (worth about 60% of the final) for the English class. But I figure this will be the last chance to get home until I move out... thus I take advantage and set myself up for stress.

Still retaining dreams, much more than I was in the other room--though not writing them down, I am apt to forget them by the end of the next night. Tuesday I ran into Rich Schaller and Chris Dzak at different times on the sidewalk--this means half the peers that graduated by my side from DHS currently at NIU. I ran into Dzak later, and finally decided to spend some time with them since I didn't have much else to do and to this point hadn't done more than walked with them for maybe a total of 15 minutes each since the beginning of the previous semester.

Last night I finished my game of X-Com: UFO Defense. I did some screenshot-narration for Frigo, thus finally (I am hopeful) getting a friend interested in the game. Hopefully this interest will soon translate to Laser Squad Nemesis and/or UFO2000 and I'll finally have a face-known opponent to spar with.

I've left myself a little less than 8 hours to complete the last Statistics homework assignment, due in class at 8am tomorrow morning. This, of course, is also the longest homework assignment assigned since returning from my illness. Always setting myself up for failure, to pull out with, considering the circumstances I put myself through, a well-enough average.
