no worries
April 24th, 2003 | by john |This no worries thing has got me in a very good mood every day since I’ve decided that worries are the most useless thing that exists for human life.
So anyways, I wanted to edit and continue the lengthy blog from the last entry but I decided to just post a new entry. It’s been a couple of days since the last entry and there have been some interesting stuff going on.
For example, today – there was a Georgia Tech vs UGA baseball game so it was decided that the Goldfellas should make an appearance. The game was at 7pm and around 5:45pm, we realized that we did not have any paint left. So Brad, a retired Goldfella and soon to be GT graduate, helped us get some Tempera paint at Utrecht art supply store. We didn’t know what this Tempera paint thing was but they told us that it should wash off and it was non-toxic so we just got it and it worked fine except the paint was a bit thicker then the one’s that were used for a long time (except we found out that the old paint we used to use is toxic… hehe – uhhh… oh well). The game was okay, GT lost and we’re the 4th in the nation… and UGA isn’t even ranked. There were a lot of UGA fans there – even kids that got in our faces to start something. It was good times – the fans were a bit disappointing – definitely fraction of a football stadium crowd. I was mostly disappointed with our own fellow students… they lacked emotion for the game and majority of the cheering was done by the GT Band (big thanks to them) and the Goldfellas- how weak is that?! Shame on the GT students who actually went to the game and didn’t do anything but chat with their friends while our own team needed some hardcore cheering on! Shame on those GT fans who left early too! My god, give ‘em a chance! This isn’t a football game – we weren’t losing by 40-0 or anything! 
We tried to get ‘em riled up but wasn’t too successful at that… *tsk tsk tsk*
Anyways, we hive-fived and low-fived a bunch of people (adults, students, kids) and scared 3-4 children who… apparently didn’t like our bright yellow hair styles. We also sang Happy Birthday to Mrs. Clough (the wife of the President of GT)… they seemed to have enjoyed our 1min entertainment- they offered us some of her birthday cake but since this was early in the game – we had to decline since we had a lot of running around to do. Today’s Goldfellas starred Jordan, Dave, Chatty, Me, and Corey (spelled out T E C H ! ).
Anyways… school is going all right I guess – one class that I’m really worried about and probably have to take it over later but I realized that this class is not a preReq for any other classes so I can take this any time I want. Oooh, I signed up for classes last week and signed up for 18 hours so far. I signed up for Combinatorics, Digital Design Lab, Circuits, French… and some other stuff – I’ll update this once I can log back into Oscar to check. Only 2 more days of classes… then next week will be finals. I have a final Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. So, my finals schedule ain’t bad at all! 
(*whew*)
Also, work – there’s been a whole bunch of network problems at work lately… I’m kind of getting interested in the idea of network engineering because of it. I think we had about 30min to 60min downtime today and most of the day, the pings to servers on our network were in the high hundreds and sometimes even the thousands! It’s been temporarily fixed now according to the network status announcement but hopefully, they can fix up the network so it’ll be solid and reliable. A lot of customers have been lashing out against us on our own forums and other forums around the web – I really feel dumb when those who say nothing when everything is smooth is the first one to spread the news about negative things… once that negative thing is taken care of, and everything is good, we don’t even get a compliment or anything. Oh well, I guess that’s how people are…
Summer is coming along – here’s a list of things I will miss for whatever reason: seeing my friends everyday, making dumb jokes that don’t make sense, talking to friends, snoozing for hours on end, AIMing when you are really not even 50 yards away, dining together (even tho most of the time it is a dining hall, i enjoy the company), my forgotten worries that used to cloud my mind constantly until recently, this campus that I walk half way across daily, freesbie throwing & ultimate (who da hell is going to play freesbie with me at home?), observing people here at Tech, Goldfellas, being on the lookout, pi’s and talking about em (Mmmm), walking the campus at night to think and clear up my mind, the library west commons – especially the dual monitor multimedia workstations, Sweet Iced Tea in Brittain, Korean food with our group, 2am 2-large papa john’s pepperoni pizza orders for $11.99+tax, the images of those who I wanted to know but utlimately never knew, seeing symbols of Georgia Tech everywhere I look, the geek talk, my pride at Tech, the limited- yet interesting social setting, the beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon, and most of all- I will miss the laughter and smiles of my friends here at Tech.
It is late and I’m going to bed. Have a good night
