So, here we go. I'm
So, here we go. I'm going to try to do this again. Every time, I try to start a journal, I actually fail quite miserably. I'm not sure how to make myself better at this, but I keep trying. I think I have this weird hope that somebody will read it and think it's interesting, but in all honestly, I think I'm kind of a boring person. So, here goes nothing, right?
Today was a relatively unexciting day. I had a two hour security class this morning. My two friends, who happen to be girlfriendless, were checking out the girls in Athens, Greece where the class was being telecasted to. As Scott says, there is some sort of syndrome that all good looking girls in ECE are taken. The funniest thing is that the one that he thought was hot, by the end of our class, was snuggling with the guy next to her, which just kind of totally proved his point. I'm not really sure how to feel about it when guys say "there are no girls in ECE" or "there are no hot girls in ECE". I'm not exactly sure how to take that. What am I? CHOPPED LIVER? Of course I know that I am totally overreacting, but hell...I'm allowed to do that.
Other than that, I had a pretty productive meeting with my advisor today. Sometimes, I feel like I'm getting nowhere, and I get so frustrated with the whole concept of researching, but then on days like these where she's like, "no, that's a good idea" it makes it all the much more worthwhile. Yes, I know, I'm one of those crazy stupid people that thrives off of positive feedback. I have come to the firm conclusion that hacking is so much more rewarding than thinking. We had a conversation about it during dinner (yes, we are ECE majors...it happens), and we all concluded that hacking gives you great positive reinforcement, while theoretical thinking...sometimes it feels like you're just going in circles. So, I can't wait until I get past all this theoretical stuff and get it into the hacking. And one more time, I will admit that I am ECE. It happens!!
