Lately I've just had SO MUCH to do that not only do I not get much time to relax, but whenever I do get to take a break, it's usually not actually that relaxing because I still end up thinking about the stuff that has to get done soon.

As I mentioned a while back, I've been working on that physics research project as a part-time job. The conference that I have to attend is coming up soon (it's from March 31 to April 2), and at some point before that (probably THIS WEEK), I'll have to completely wear myself out putting together the information for the poster so I can present it. Hopefully this is the last time I ever have to give a presentation about this project... but with my luck, there will probably be about three more conferences I have to present at. :(

Not only that, but even though I have a part-time job already, I'm now required to look at two listings for potential full-time jobs every week. And I've been having to do more of the chores at home... which I'm not very good at remembering to do. AND recently there was a whole bunch of paperwork I had to do, AND I had to update my résumé recently, AND there's probably more things like that that I'll have to do soon... and so on and so forth.

About 117 days until I get to be happy again...

I'm definitely not even close to being ready to be an adult, even though I'm SUPPOSED to be because I was in college for 4½ years. :(

This entry does not get a repost button because it is friends-only. I decided to make this and the next one public because of later public entries that mention this conference.

You'd think that given how easy it probably is to misunderstand my previous entry, I would've posted again as soon as I thought of something else to post about. But nope, somehow I let an easily-misunderstood entry be the newest one for a month minus a few hours.

Anyway, here's what I've done lately besides probably not clarifying that entry enough:

- At some point between that entry and January 29, I bought three new amiibo at GameStop: R.O.B., Mr. Game & Watch, and Duck Hunt! I should add a list of the amiibo I own to my profile eventually...
- pathvain_aelien, ellaina02, and I went to PAX South from January 29 to 31! That was fun :)
- You know that physics research project I was working on last year? Starting this month, I'm continuing working on that as a job! (Which means there's a conference or something that I need to attend in March...)
- STILL not back on a normal sleep schedule. :(

Cool stuff I found:

http://www.iizcat.com/post/3226/Th… - Now if they'd just put in stuff from Super Mario 3D World, the theme would be complete!
http://www.themorningnews.org/gall… - So true, unfortunately...
http://www.farbs.org/romcheckfail.… - One moment you're Link fighting the bricks from Arkanoid, the next you're Pac-Man and Goombas are after you!

If any of you have noticed this entry at all, you've probably also noticed that, despite the name "Worries of the Week (or so)", I've only posted one "proper" Worries of the Week (or so) post this year and that was almost four weeks ago.

Yeah, I've rearranged my priorities yet again since then - probably even more than once. Right now my priorities are something like:

1) Homework, other college stuff, daily routines, etc. (which have always been at the top)
2) Find all of the lost Ourswillyouoneupian cave paintings and put them in a display Upload to ScrapBook all of the images that I'd been hosting on my unrelated attachments page on Ours Will You 1-Up up until Google Sites willed me game over, and use that to replace all the image links in my entries and (as far as I know) one of my comments. I also decided that while I do that, I'd do some other random maintenance on my old entries, such as making sure that they all either have repost buttons or "This entry doesn't get a repost button for whatever reason" notices, etc. But who knows, I might change my mind again before I actually get the chance to start on this...
3) Finish updating my glossary of Matt1993isms
4) I haven't decided what'll be after that... Go back to Worries of the Week (or so) for a while? Work on my userpics some more? (speaking of, did anyone besides pathvain_aelien see this?) Catch up on my friends page? Update my profile and interests? Remove some of my least useful tags to make room for more useful ones? Add tags to entries that don't have them yet? Join a friending community? I realize I've posted a poll like this before, but right now I've been having to work mostly on what I think is most likely to help me feel better. And homework, of course.

Speaking of homework, here's how I'm doing in each class so far. My wording is probably going to sound like I'm in a hurry because I kind of am in a hurry - I need to get to bed - but I also don't want to have this entry scheduled to be posted later this time.

There is one last completely unrelated thing I really want to mention so I won't have to keep thinking about how much I want to post about it:

Now that my roommate knows how I feel whenever he mentions Game Theory, he hasn't given me a hard time since then, right?

WRONG. The REAL conflict resolution is in another castle.

( Collapse )

I probably could've worded some of this better or explained in more detail but need to go to bed now. Probably some broken LJ-cuts or something somewhere too

This entry doesn't get a repost button because it's friends-only. Yet again.

What have I done lately besides still being worried that I've annoyed everyone, you ask?

In no particular order:

- Now I actually am in the Mortar Board!! I've mentioned that I was a finalist for being accepted, but I never mentioned actually being accepted until now :)

- A month or two ago, my Physics professor asked me if I was interested in doing a research project about the molecular flow of granular materials (or something of that sort - it's taken me a while to be able to even understand what it's about that well) with him next semester. I was interested (even though I barely understood it at all at the time), but it's been a confusing (for me) whirlwind of meetings and a formal dinner with some of the other faculty members involved and me not being able to explain the project well enough to anyone until recently, and it made my schedule really full for a while and had me really stressed out, but lately it hasn't been nearly as confusing :) Today we finished the application!

- I might've mentioned this in another entry, but I got a 62 on my second test in Math Stats and already had a 60 on the first one :( I'll probably do better on this next one, though :)

- I continued having to worry about the possibility that my last three entries-- oh wait, I said that already.

- About a year ago, my roommate gave me a hard time about a video that says that Mario-- wait, I've mentioned that recently too.

- I got to go home for Thanksgiving break!... and had to work on an Internet Programming assignment :(

- Still haven't checked my friends page, because I'm still afraid that if I even glance at it, the first thing I'll see is something pertaining to the Forbidden Comment Threads (Ω or not Ω) (that is the question) or something that reminds me of it. Sorry :(

- Probably something else important that I forgot.

- Oh, at some point there was a Physics test that I couldn't even finish a single question on! I thought it would be easy because the first test was easy, but it wasn't :( Hopefully the work I showed trying to find something that even seemed like it could be the right way to solve any of the problems is worth enough partial credit that this test won't bring my grade down too much. And hopefully the final won't be nearly as bad.

No repost button friends-only blah blah blah I need to schedule this entry and go to bed.

I never knew that it could replace the verbs too until now. ("Six crossovers a-programming")



I could definitely use a new math, since I'm no longer good at the old math!

In other news, about a year ago today I got over my depression about the Forbidden Comment Threads just in time for Christmas, and in fact, got over it for the longest period of time so far; in fact, at the time I'd thought I'd gotten over it completely. But now I'm not only still depressed about it about half of the time, I'm also depressed about anything that even vaguely reminds me of the Forbidden Comment Threads (and now, many more things fall under this category), and just as much as when the Forbidden Comment Threads were actually happening. So I don't see myself nearly overcoming it again this year. I'll probably be happier on Christmas Day, but aside from the fact that I'm still not depressed every moment of my life, that's it. :(

Thanks for ruining my life, asperger. And commenters in news. And the Facebook group I Have a LiveJournal!. And too many more things to name.

Here is all the homework I had to do today:

- a chapter review for Economics
- some Physics problems
- yet another paper to write for Spanish
- citing another source for the Research Paper of the Apocalypse
- writing a note from said source

This wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have ALL OF THESE ON THE SAME DAY. Ugh. I'm finally done, but now it's 9:31 PM and I'm so tired that I might as well go to bed even though it's not my bedtime yet. :(

School has been pretty good so far - there hasn't been very much homework yet :) Unfortunately, that will probably change within a week or two :(

I'm gonna post my weekly progress with my New Year's resolutions every Saturday.

Week 2→

For the record, I've tried cleaning my apocalypse before, but when I put my 666 stuff with my clocks showing irregular times, I accidentally spilled my 666-flavored water on them and short-circuited them. And then my frozen pets melted on them, too. I had to ask The Back of Us for new ones.



I wanted nine Enyas dancing! :(

Well, my midterms began today.

Government - For our Government midterm (or technically final, since we only have it one semester), we pretended to be the House of Representatives and the Senate, came up with one House bill and one Senate bill yesterday, and today we had a mock debate on which to pass. I had trouble coming up with a point to make that someone else hadn't already made; I only managed to do so once. :(

Bible - Our "midterm" was just to write a little about what we liked and didn't like about Bible class this year and what should be different next year.

Physics - Since Physics is basically math, I had no problem with it :)

Tomorrow are the two hardest classes - English and Speech. Blah. Bleh. Blih. Bloh. Bluh. And sometimes blyh.

In other news, I don't know why I didn't mention this before, but on Saturday I took the ACT for the last time with accommodations. I completed all of the multiple-choice sections! However, I only managed to write two paragraphs for the essay :(

EDIT: Whoa, 550th post! :D

Last ITED tests. Today was social studies, science, and reference materials. See if you can guess which of these I did the best on. ;)
