April 2005

YAY ME! GO ME! HURRAYYYYYYYYY! I feel so sexy driving it, I think it is actually beyond my sexiness (if you can imagine that, I know it is hard)... For some reason I am scared senseless driving it because I am afraid something might happen to it and it is my girlfriend ($20,707.22 lifetime companionship) and so I don't want something to happen to it... I need to get over that so I can enjoy it fully... I also finished my last test of my undergraduate degree today... it was ok, semi hard, semi easy... we'll see... but still YAY ME...

I know I have had mixed emotions in the past, but right now I am extremely happy and super excited about Francisca coming to my graduation... I hate how I have been so high in emotions lately... Now that Algorithms is over though and there is less then a week before I have my BS, I am feeling accomplished and in high hopes and spirits... Despite the fact that I still am scared and clueless about what I am going to do with the rest of my life...

I got 3rd place in the programming competition today... I was mad I didn't get 2nd... We were something like 2 minutes slower then the 2nd place team and that was frustrating... Grad students who win every time won again... so I don't feel bad loosing against them... I had a lot of fun, but the prize I got wasn't the greatest... some Media Plus blah blah for windows... I am going to try and return it to Walmart and see if they'll take it... Anyways, it looks good on my resume... it was sponsored by Microsoft and run by Association for Computer Machinery... yeah... oh well... go me... oh, and my team I guess...

For the past two years I got my dad REALLY good on April fools day... well, this year I surpassed it all... It actually wasn't my idea, but I asked others for ideas and this kid Cory in the lab came up with it... so here it goes...

I called my dad up and told him that my advisor contacted me and told me that I cannot graduate because I was suppose to take some class that I didn't know about... and I told him now I wouldn't be able to go do this internship thing in Texas (read below) because I will have to stay in Tally to take the class... This is also after he bought all the hotel rooms, bought invitations, food, etc... well, I don't know how I did it but it without laughing but I did... anyways... he called back twice saying I should see if I can do the internship for credit, etc. etc... anyways... I let him worry about it for 2 hours and then finally I started to feel bad... so I was getting on the phone to call him and tell him, but then my friend was like "wait wait, give me the phone, what is his name... Hi, this is Demetirus Brown the chair of the Computer Science Department here at Florida State University, your son wanted me to talk to you about why he can't graduate..." anyways, 15 minutes later my dad started getting really worried so Demetirus responded... "here, let me transfer you to the Dean of the College of Arts and Science..." then proceeds to hand me the phone and I scram "APRIL FOOLS!"... he he... it was hilarious... anyways, go me...
