Rants and Cats

Ever ranted about anything? Okay, imagine that, but with programming as the subject instead.

More seriously - my cat has been driving me crazy! She's a tabby, with orange stripes. Yoda. I didn't name her, my grandmother did. Although I'm the one that tamed her. Yod's is on a diet, cause she won't leave my room (the other cats and the dog intimidate her) and she likes to eat more than she moves around. So every morning I give her a small amount of food in an empty peanut butter jar (it's got a hole in it's side, and she pushes it around to get the food out), and from late afternoon to the next morning she pesters me for more food.

Lately, she's been waking me up between 6 and 8 am, and if I happen to wake up early, she comes up and purrs all over me. When she's happy, she purrs really, really hard, and the more she purrs and the louder she purrs the more she drools, from her nose and her mouth (eww....).

It's cute, but sometimes I just want to go back to sleep. I wake up early enough as it is for school twice a week... I guess I just have to make her stop napping during the day.

3 weeks into the fall semester of 2011...

School's started - been 'started' for about three weeks now, actually. I did get the classes I wanted (slash, needed), so I'll be finished with what I need for my Computer Science AS. But I'm not graduating yet; I'm stickin' around for another semester at least.

I've been working on my theatre AA one class a semester. Next semester I can focus on it, and I only have eleven credits that I need (so four classes). If they're all offered in the spring semester ( and I have some leeway, it doesn't have to be four specific class) then I can graduate, if I want. But as I don't know what I'll be doing after that semester, I don't know right now when I'm going to graduate (taking to administration about multiple degrees and continuing after getting a degree is on my to-do list).

On a side note, I enjoy theatre much more than programming. And science research more than programming. It's funny - speaking as a science person - that theatre, which is in the arts, attracts and challenges me in much the same way as science. (But physics wins way over theatre in term of challenge. In some ways that's not a contest.) At some point here, I'll figure out what I'm going to do with my life. In the meantime, that'll be school, running my own business, and trying to get on stage.

Life, School, and Summer

Only three more weeks of school!!!

...though you wouldn't know that by the amount of work left. Three monologues (so I'm assuming from the email I got, anyway), 3 programs (2 in java, 1 in C++), 1 quiz, and 3 upcoming finals (at least, and I might have a fourth).

It's funny, though, even when school ends my life won't get any less busy. M' summer plans including making a manual for my family's property (it's extensive, trust me), creating a recipe book for myself and my siblings using our favorite ones from over the years, reviewing all my CS stuff (wouldn't want to forget that, after all the effort I've put into that) and my Physics (WEEE!), writing one book (or thirty poems, does that substitute well?), working outside the house (housework and watering plants), and working inside the house (actually creating those crochet items 'stead of just planning them, selling stuff on Ebay (emphasis on 'stuff), and transcribing full-time).

Incidentally, anyone who reads through that paragraph deserves a gold star. Not one of my best, I don't think. But it does get across that I'll be busy busy busy.
