May 11th?!  Has it really been that long... yes.

So my blogs are going to change from there usual complaints about life to a strict observation of my surroundings.  I'll try to weed through the boring and mundane, but no promises

So I work a lot now, ( I figured summer school and work combined to be 74 hours a week), so for any of you who I used to see more often I'm sorry, I wish I could hang out more.  Its just this opportunity is too great not to take.

So what blog-worthy thing happened today?  Seeing as I'm lowering my standard of "blog-worhty", lots!

I saw a man riding a bike around at my school, very mundane, until he fell.  I was too far away to help (not that I'm sure I would have if I was closer).  Not sure why, there wasn't anything in the way, and he was only going straight.  But, nevertheless, he got his foot caught in the bike and looked like he was starting to freak out but finally realized that if he just lifted the bike up and pulled his foot out he'd be fine.

That would suck, falling off a bike in public where you know at least a handful of people are watching.  I think that is one of my greatest fears, public humiliation.  My guess is that is why I don't talk a lot to people I've first met.  After being around them for a while I get more confident and talk more openly.  This goes double for girls.

So as I'm sitting here in the UCI library, typing this, a man came up and asked me if I'd be interested in bible studies.  I said no fairly quickly, but after he left I thought that maybe I should have asked him some question, not because I'm interested in bible studies but to at least give him the chance to say what he had obviously spent hours preparing for.  Plus I don't know much about bible studies, maybe I would be interested in them.  I think I discount ideas/people too quickly because my closed mind.  Maybe someday, I might think about considering try to one day open that rusty trap of a mind I got.

Seems like I may have infringed on my promise not to complain, oh well... maybe tomorrow.

Robert out!

Im approching 33 hours of sleeplessness... sadly a proud acheivement.  Dont know how much long I can hold out, I think i may go lie down soon, as I just ate.  And for some reason (blood rushing to stomach) I always get tired after eating.  And its a hardcore tired, like the kind you have little control over.  I go in and out of those, seem to be my 'winds' and by my count this should be... 1 over 3 plus 5 carry the 10... 432nd wind.

Why was I up?  I was working on a group project from 8pm Monday night to 3:30pm Tuesday afternoon.  And yes it took the entire time... really sad for the shitty 8 minutes we got out of it.  Not to mention it took FOREVER to render, luckly it all worked out and we wheren't late.

Well Ill post in a couple days after E3!!!

Well I guess its time to grow up, school is gonna be over before I know it and Im working hardcore this summer for Warpg, no more summer vacations for me.  Kinda scary, but in the past couple months Ive kinda been awakened to the real world and how hard it is going to be... and how hard it is to be successful.  But I think I can be if I really try, so I guess Ill test the saying, "If you put your mind to it..."... 10 to 1 says that phase comes out BS.

I dont have much else to talk about so Ill talk about school.  School project is overwhelming but fun.  Hope Ill be able to do everything I need to for my group.  I really dont want to be 'that guy' that lets the team down.

So thats all... yep.. can't think of anymore..... done

If it ain't broke, fit it

Been a while, but ehh.

Taking a project class this quarter, game development, awsome class, makes taking all the other classes at uci and rancho worth it.  Lots of work, trying to push a game out with a team this time.  Game quality should be WAY up.  Hopefully everyone does there part and this game is really something cool.

Got a new laptop, Dell, tiny light nice.  Carrys well.  Nice having it at school and not having to live inside the labs.  I actually surfed the internet in the park the other day, refreshing.

Parents are gearing up to move out on me, I'm not sure when it'll happen but I'm thinking the earliest would be in June.  So I'm gonna look for a house seeing as my parents are nice enough to loan me the down payment.  Sure seems nice to avoid rent.  I think they'll loan me the money on the agreement (agreance?) that my sister can live with me and goto OCC while they retire in Arizonia.  Fine by me, seeing as I'm barely a hundredaire (person having $100?).

Well good times all around,
Robert
