That Rough Finals Week

So the polyphasic sleep is no longer a thing. And even if it was, finals would have messed that up horribly. Finals were really rough this quarter. I can't really describe it other than to say that by the time physics rolled around Friday morning I was checked out. Right now I'm just recovering here in Portland (also, snow in Portland!) learning TeX (because my mom refuses to use LaTeX like the rest of the world).

Having a friend in town during finals was interesting. It most likely helped keep me energized, simply because there was a new person around to be peppy and try to get me to do things. Still, it was such a rough week that I will not be taking 4 classes next quarter (unless something REALLY interesting pops up) and will be dropping my civilization studies class. With baseball season, this might have been necessary anyways.

I have a couple of goals for me spring break. First, I want to go back to high school baseball practice. I am going to try and learn some TeX and maybe get paid a little to type up my mom's notes for some class (I think she said real analysis). I want to start back up my GameCube a little for some Super Smash Bros. Melee. Hopefully I'll have time to visit some old high school friends down in Eugene and Salem. And then I want to catch up on sleep. I think all of this is easily attainable.

Cheers for now. Thoughts on polyphasic some other time.

First Baseball Game Cancelled

It's a sad day in Simonland. Our first baseball games down in Springfield were cancelled due to inclement weather. Though this really frees up my schedule, I wanted to play, regardless of the weather. Living in Portland makes you very tolerant of the rain (and that brings some judgment when I walk across wet grass going to class) and I'm a little disappointed that these Midwesterners melt in the rain. Oh, well...
