And in the beginning, there were two gods, one male, one female, and
"They begin to have lots of little gods in the way that people have lots of little people."
And as time goes on, the gods end up making humans. But, being imperfect gods and all,

I am quite obviously introverted, always have been, probably always will be. So

I suppose it's good penmanship practice, or something. Or maybe I shouldn't make any excuses and say that the class has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. And naturally, the "textbook" doesn't help any. I figure that if the book had any quality, then Michael J.

How lovely. Although, the guy/girl ratios are very amusing for those two classes. In data structures, it's 12 or 13 to 0, and in English it's 1 to 4. It would have been 1 to 5, but Erin dropped or is going to drop or something. I'm afraid that that will make the class even less tolerable.

And a couple of interesting things have happened in the interim, unlike most other times. I've also got some kind of real post in the works, I just have to think about it some more. That being said, on to the news of my life. A day or two after my birthday (so probably last Tuesday or Wednesday), I decided to catch up on the recent slashdot stuff.

It's pretty nice living close to Longview. I've
actually been programming some already, something that I didn't get to do much during
the semester. I've been working on an mp3 player for Linux, which I'll hopefully have
done pretty soon. It's been going pretty well since I can shell out to madplay to do
all of the actual playing for me.

This week, My study time has been dominated by Calc III, for which I spent around 2 hours, while I spent about half an hour on my other three tests (10 for discrete, 20 for speech, 0 for comp sci).

Maybe tomorrow after the terminal test in calc, I'll find something to write about. But who am I kidding? My posts have become short and pointless, and this one is no exception. I would say that maybe when I don't have anything else going on, I could post more, but then I wouldn't have anything to post about. So there it is.

No big deal, not much has happened. The only things of note, really, are our wing of Quad 1 has no air... again. This could be because some people keep turning the air to 90, and then others come by and turn it back down. Stupid people. Ah, and I have yet more roommate woes.

I've got this lovely copy/paste from the speech discussion boards. Summary appears below, but it is nowhere near as entertaining as the original.
For speech, we have to go the Blackboard discussion boards and post our proposed topics and give feedback to at least three people.

Scott walks by and stands there watching the television that was on. The following conversation occured:
(From within the room): "What are you doing?"
Scott: "I'm just listening to the music and watching that show on T.V. Quite an interesting dichotomy."

Leaving me with but one class: intro to speech communication. Naturally, had I known, or even suspected, that there would be an honors speech sometime in the future, I would have certainly not taken it this semester. Although, I suppose it's interesting enough.

Wednesdays around here are so incredibly boring, mostly because of Q1's lack of a chaplain and everyone else having a chaplain. That being said, there's always wandering around campus even though no one else is around. Onward, to the ranting and the raving...

Somehow, in a sermon entitled "God's Call to Be On Mission," which is a gem in and of itself, my pastor managed to get in all of the following quotes (getting progressively worse, as decided by me):

As I was driving home, I realized that I only go on twelve roads between LeTourneau and my house. Eight of those are only in Sherman.
