Holy crap.
I haven't updated my blog in a long time. Guess I sort of feel like I can't write down everything I want to write anymore, so I just don't. But here we go on the updates of my life:
1. I got the NSF graduate fellowship! This was...nice. Think I've been feeling sort of down recently about myself and grad school, and this was definitely a booster. Not that this really validates anything, but I guess I sort of feel that it makes life a little better. I know I'm just being stupid. But whatever.
2. I got a food processor. And yes, I know it's not really blog worthy. But, I'm so excited about it. I can make lots of dumplings now without a problem. I should of course, probably throw a dumpling party or something. But I am super lazy...
Ok, so that is all I can think about right now. When did my life get so boring? Bah.

Caloric me
I have no idea why, but I have this sick and twisted obsession with the fact that I ate very little yesterday. (Sick: Eat = want to hurl). So, I figured I would catalogue this and hope nobody thinks that I'm going anorexic or something:
1 1/2 Cups Honey Nut Cheerios + 2 Cups Skim Milk: 168+180 = 348
1/4 Instant Noodle: 50 (something like that)
1 serving Mott's applesauce: 63
1/2 Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup: 78
1/2 PB&J Sandwich: 52+24+25 = 101
Total: 640
Oh, plus I worked out and burned about 250 calories...
SO... that is a net calorie count of 390. That's kind of scary.
Ok, I am retarded.

Embarrassing
You know what is super embarrassing?
When you have your headphones on and are listening to music and pass gas, thinking that it is silent b/c YOU can't hear it. Oh, but then you do the same thing again (seems like same amount) w/o your headphones on and realize "OHMIGOD, that was friggin' LOUD". Doh...
I wonder if my cubemate are like "wtf!!"
Hehehhe....

Grr
I hate meetings where I feel like I am battling for no reason. Where apparently, my opinion doesn't matter anymore. And all of a fucking sudden I am thrust back into a position where I don't particularly agree/think/believe in the stuff I am doing. Where again it's, "lowly grad student, heed what I have to say." and then ask for my opinion, and when I say anything they tell me I am wrong.
In conversation defining what x should be:
Them: "What do you think if we define x as y?"
Me: "I think x should include y and z"
Them:"Well, maybe you should just revise your notion of x"
End of conversation.
Kind of agitated b/c felt like I was just blown off. Maybe I am just overreacting. Maybe I am just that dumb and cannot wrap my head around defintions.
-- ten minutes later --
I think in the end, I like my advisor. Pseudo-advisor is still a dick. Advisor is still cool. She came by and talked to me a little bit more about it, and actually listened to some of things I said. I still feel dumb. Bleh.

Knee
I hurt my left knee joint today. Sucks. :( Was running for a while when I started getting a slight cramp in my right leg, so I put a bit more pressure on my left leg for the rest of run. Too bad when I got off the treadmill, it turned out that my left knee joint got jacked. I can barely walk down the stairs now. So stupid...
I dunno why, but I find it humorous that one of the shared libraries on itunes is called "God CMU is boring during spring break". I agree. Heh.

Dream
Last night I had a pretty whack dream. Basically, the dream revolved around the fact that a meteor was going to strike Earth, and we could (apparently only paying like $700 or something) be encapsalated in the dome for the duration of the meteor strike. It was really weird mainly b/c in my dream, it was the second time that a meteor was going to strike Earth. And my dreaming self remembered the last strike was really bad, but even people who didn't go to the dome were able to survive. But this time was going to be much worse. The dome was basically like a hotel or something, but 24 hrs before the meteor was supposed to hit, we were supposed to move all of our stuff to the basement. And for some reason, I wasn't able to collect all of my stuff. In my room were duplicates of all of my things I wanted to save (my pound puppy, my gameboy (I think that's b/c I was playing it before I went to bed)), and I was having a hard time picking out the right one. But, once I got that all sorted, I had to go and find Portia and Simon in this huge dome. I just remember panicking like crazy in the dream b/c the meteor was going to crash soon and I couldn't get all my shit together to go hide in the basement. It was really weird/intense. Woke up being glad that it wasn't real.

cheesy quizzes con't
As I have been feeling lazy of late for blogging, here is something for "entertainment".
The quiz: What Sign of Affection Are You?
My results:
cuddle and a kiss on the forehead - you like to be
close to your special someone and feel warm,
comfortable, and needed.

Windows Updates and me
Bah.
Spent all of Friday trying to figure out why my laptop suddenly was booted off the wireless network. Thought maybe something was wrong with my hardware or OS. But oh NO. After a long LONG time, figured out that it was b/c I had some vulnerability and CMU had booted me off on its own accord *roll of eyes*. Somehow, finding out today that they had supposedly notified me (which they had not) really annoyed me. But now it should be fixed I think. Too bad I left my powercord at home too. Grr...
