...and then Kathy realized how she plays solitare an awful lot for someone without a deck of cards.

I had some trouble with the program I have due in CS 350 tomorrow, and I knew if I walked away and came back, the problem would seem easier. Or at least I wouldn't put my fist into the monitor in the meantime.

So I burned myself some dinner, threw another three CDs in the changer, and opened up solitare to play a game or two. Halfway through my first game I noticed I was playing.

I actually felt nauseous for a moment. I was losing at draw-one Window's solitare. I closed the box, and opened my HTML program. If I was going to be wasting my life and my time, someone at least was going to get to read about it. I listened to 12 CDs all the way through today. I'm still listening. I find that odd, don't you?

I've been at my computer since 2:30 this afternoon. That's five hours of alternating between programming, scanning stuff, 'fiddling', and playing solitare. I am a sad, sorry person. I am a CS major. I get twitchy without my computer, but this is insane. I may have to delete solitare. I can't waste my life with that program. I have so many better ways to waste my life.

I put air in my tires today. One of the back tires was down to 10 psi. That is BAD. Bad for the tires, unsafe, and stupid of me to not fix yesterday. Now they're all happy full tires. And I did it all on my own. Usually I'm very very bad at filling tires...I let out almost as much air as I let in...but I did well this time, and I didn't even hurt myself!

I'm so proud.

I did manage to finish the program. It's all done and printed up and happy in a folder on my bed. Then I check the class mailing list and the professor gave us an extension until Monday.

....I can't win today, can I?

I plan to sit down, watch Ever After, eat chips that make my breath smell like feet, and glaze over for a while. I got quite a bit done, and I have the whole weekend for the rest of it. Perhaps I'll go up to Geneseo for the day one of these days and drag my sister to an EB so she can fill out forms. Oh...Ann's going to be working at my old job. Now I just have to find a new one. ;)

What a jumbled mess! G'night...I must be tired.
