weekend and stuff

whoa – I had a great time in Camp Glisson – met some interesting new Tech people as well as people from Kennesaw/GSU/Agnes Scot/Soutern Poly…

It was good times.
If you didn’t go you missed out.

One bad thing – I got around 30 or so mosquito bites there… apparently, they liked my blood or they were attracted to how dirty I was that afternoon. I got 11 bites on my left arm alone and 7 on my right arm. I don’t even want to count how many on my legs. They are so itchy and irritating… I can not get a good night’s sleep because of them. Arg!!! How long does it take mosquito bites to go away? Anyone?

Gonna go get something to eat.

week and weekend.

I was so unproductive this week…

All I know is that I am looking forward to this weekend because I am going on a retreat to Camp Glisson with Campus Crusade. I am hoping I can straighten out my thoughts and priorities there while enjoying the outdoors – which, I must say… I have not seen for too long.

Starting Monday – it will be different. I will fix up my schedule and straighten my priorities out. Laziness with be minimized and procrastination will be reduced.

Went to CCF yesterday for the first time – wow. Soooo many people… even those I knew personally but never knew they were CCFers were there. I liked it – the Minister there was very passionate about the ‘Bible study’ although since there were so many students there, there couldn’t have been any discussions or anything like that. CCF was very relaxed and interwined a lot of ‘interesting’ humor. I am hoping to be able to attend CCF’s bible study weekly same with Colin’s Campus Crusade ‘D-group’. I also should be able to plan to attend couple of Ben/Craig’s D-group within a week or so as soon as Flag Football season is over (one more game).

I need to figure out how to fit all this with school, work, and fun without sacrificing any one or the other.

I have to head out. Have a good weekend!

me and the library.

me and the library are like this: *crossing finger*
yea, that’s how it is… don’t mess with me and the library

Yea so I spent my night in the library last night – writing my formal lab report for about 8 hours total, give or take an hour or so I spent downstairs eating a snack or something to appease my boredom and hunger. Reminded me of the times I would just stay in the library last Spring… just for the heck of it. I miss those times. A lot of times, I just liked the walk up the hill – it gave me a chance to be outside and not stuck in a stupid lecture or recitation or lab… or even in front of my own room. Unless I am sleeping, I hate being in my room.

I got back around 7am or something like that and went straight to bed, woke up around 11am since I had my GTA consultation at noon. I went there and the GTA seemed to think my lab report was fairly good (whew, I remembered how to write a good lab report) – I just need to work on couple of the sections and add a sentence or two for depth – I forget I was supposed to write a report like one of those ‘Blah blah blah for Dummies’ books

I got some food and fell asleep around 1:15pm and I woke up exactly at five-zero-zero-pm. No alarms. Pretended like it was morning and took a shower and all… I am refreshed now. No longer tired as I was this morning.

101th Entry

Couple entries ago, I gave a topic to comment on, and it was about the last dream you remember having. I thought since I thought of the topic, I should also describe the dream I had the night before posting that.

All I remember is going into a building – it should have been locked or something because it was during the night and in the dream, I didn’t expect it to be open. I just tried the door anyway and it was either left unlocked or wasn’t completely closed so as to allow me access to this building. When I went in, I moved around like I wasn’t supposed to be there… what was I trying to avoid from this place? What was I so scared of…? Anyways, I was walking on carpet of somekind and I was tiptoe-ing around there because I wanted to be silent, I did not want to attract any attention. I see several closed doors and I hear voices, laughter, music etc from some of the doors. It didn’t seem like a office or anything – people lived here. There were a lot of rooms like a hotel or a dorm or something except the rooms were scattered around on the floor. Some of the doors were closed, wide open, or opened just enough so light filtered out from them. Everywhere else was dark – this is where I tried to stay so I wouldn’t be detected by whoever was living there. Amazingly enough, I had a motive for being there… because I went around all the doors to try to find the right one. The doors were marked – I guess with numbers… but they weren’t uniform, the numbers or letters always jumped around so I couldn’t find this specific door. Then I passed by this door that was wide open. Surprisingly enough, one of my sisters was in there… the room was furnished differently but it had similar looking furniture that she has in her own room at home. She was folding clothes or something – but when I saw her, I was shocked but also comforted at the same time because if she was there, I didn’t have to feel guilty about coming into this building. It was no longer random. It’s no longer awkward. I had some kind of motive for going into this building but I didn’t know what room I was looking for… I don’t know why I was so scared. Since I now had a reason to be there, I didn’t have to shy away from anything or anybody.

That’s basically where my dream ended… if I ever have dreams and remember them- I always remember the story leading up to a point and abruptly ending… not knowing what how it concluded or why. I personally know why I was in this building – I knew exactly what it was although there were parts in my dream that should not have been there. I’m going to end it at that =P

Last night, I had a weird dream though – it was about snakes. I was just thinking about snakes last weekend too (i love my random imagination ). I am not really scared of snakes (but I’ve never seen one either) but I thought about how it would suck to randomly be hiking or something and run into a rattle snake. If you move a muscle, it will lunge… if you don’t move a muscle, it will lunge eventually… and I don’t think anyone would be fast enough to catch a snake while it’s lunging its poisonous fangs at you. So that is what I thought about last week but in the dream the snakes were giant… and they slithered quickly too. It actually caught up with me when I was trying to run away from them. I think I killed two snakes… one because it bit someone I was closed to… and the other one because I had no other choice. I was scared of the snakes when I had to face them but I overcame them rather easily. Before I woke up, I wasn’t scared nor encouraged…

So no clue where that came from… but snakes being in dreams can’t be a good sign. :-/ I’m starting to worry about that now… I mean, I actually remember one of the snakes attacking someone close to me. Now that I think about it, that disturbs me quite a bit.

That’s one thing that can get me angry/mad – people that I am close to being hurt, injured, sick, or frustrated… it’s just something that I can’t deal with well and it’s not something that I can easily get over either unless I can help them get better or achieve what they want.

Anyways, here’s another comment topic since no one seems like to commenting on their own

Comment Topic
Lately, what are you worried/happy about? (Pick either worried or happy unless you want to comment on both ) – Thanks

sorry about the useless rants ;)

read the last couple of entries here and realized that none of them have any real substance in terms of what I’ve been doing, what I am thinking, and what I am going through.

Well, to answer some of that – my mind seem to be exhausted from last week. The problem now is, though – the work I thought would be left behind last week has started to spill over into this week. I thought this week would be ‘take a breather, john’ week but nope – it has turned into a ‘quickly catch up, john’ week.

I’ve been working on design ideas for GT ECE Department’s Digital Media Lab – ugh – I must be a bit out of the whole designing/creativity deal because I haven’t been able to get out a single good design. Talk about designer’s block! <insert me being physically erratic here>

Eek – I’m supposed to be working on the design for the GT ECE department next! How am I going to do that if I can’t even get a good design layout going for the DML site? =/

Related to school news: Oooh, I’ve screwed up couple classes of mine already. It’s not even october yet and I’ve screwed myself over. Figures.

For some good news – I’m still satisfied overall, I mean, I am always going to have negative feelings about academics. But compared to last spring where I was depressed for no good reason every single day, things have been a lot better and my mind is relatively clear and not so clouded anymore.

Sleepy time. G’nite.
