Sunday Confession 5 and 6 (Feb 11,2008)

Alrighty Im back and right back in action. The past two weeks proceeded fast and without delay. The deliberate lying has finally been able to desist. However the silly games that I play are still running rampant in life. It seems to be a new belief in the word on the street that I take pride in having valuable information and withholding it from others. This is perhaps true in a sort that if it is not a life or death situation then I probably will not reveal what it is that you want to know unless I am heavily provoked. I take pride in withholding information. Information is what keeps the world moving.

The new goal is to of course take pride in the information that people share and to withhold it at all costs.

Sunday Confessions: Sunday 4 of 52 (2008)

Good news. Thanks to a decreased chance to go and meet people as well as centering time and focusing it on schoolwork, I seem to have been able to succeed in my goal of being able to decrease the amount of times that I tell people tall tales. This is exciting indeed in that it revealed to me that it is possible. I now must begin to focus on another part of life and attempt to make sure I do not slip away in that endeavor.

My new goal is to also decrease my spending to only about ten dollars a week. There are so many things that I would love to purchase however, there really is not a way that I could bring much money back in. I can only hang and hold on to that which I have and save it and keep for good use. It will be challenging thanks to the people that I talk to, but I am quite sure that I can manage it.

The Classes

This semester has turned out to be quite difficult thus far. After signing up for only eleven credits some days I do wonder if I could have handled even more. However, after dedicated just about every hour this past weekend on Introduction to Bioinformatics, I must say that choosing eleven credits in the classes that I have chosen seems to have been an excellent decision. This semester I have signed up to take Introduction to Bioinformatics, Introduction to Chinese 102, Chemistry Lab 102, and Organic Chemistry I. Ultimately three of these classes can individually ruin a semester being that they all require so much time commitment.

Four classes at 11 credits are extremely unfair to me for it has caused me to receive less in terms of funds. I must take 12 credits a semester to receive all my funds but because taking more than what I am in now can ruin my GPA, I might as well not take the risk.

I am most excited for Bioinformatics, as it is what my major is. I am hoping that this class will teach me all that I need to know about Bioinformatics and see if that is what I really want to do as my career in the future. I love the computer programming part of the class. I am thankful that I have plenty of time for being able to learn all that I can with the programming. In the future semester, I will be taking the eventual computer programming classes and hopefully experience the artificial intelligence class that seems so exciting. I hope that I can before I graduate.

The only thing that worries me with this semester is that I do not know how we are going to end up paying for college for next year and for this semester. It will also be a bit more challenging to find where I am going to live for next semester.

Sunday Confessions: Sunday 3 of 52 (2008)

This week, we further carried out the previous plan of decreasing the rampant and illustrious tales that I have been telling. Unfortunately, I was able to stop with the creating of these tales but I had to live out the rest of these to completion. It seems that it is easy to continue to create these tales but living them out until the end is quite difficult. It is mainly for the fact that I have to avoid seeing these people. Regardless, I think that I will have to stop with the charades. The difficulty of living a normal life and avoiding people continues to contrast when you have to continue to go through a central area can be quite difficult. Regardless, that is the new aim for the week; to prevent the creation of new tales.

Issue: Online Work

I probably would not have chose to even write this had the event not happened to me. In my Bioinformatics class all of our work is done via computer . Without the use of the computer there is no way to analyze and gather information from the genomes. As I am the type of person that loves to take advantage of many situations, I chose this weekend to hopefully gain speed in this class and perform well. Unfortunately for me, the site seems to be having quite a few problems. The main issue is that "The server is taking too long to respond." This is unfortunate for me because I am unable to even load it to do the work and review.

Perhaps the only thing wrong in this new age of technology is that when there are technology issues there are only a few people in the right places who can resolve the issue. If there truly is a problem, the only person who can resolve it is my professor in my class. I can not even begin to think of it was a serious issue in which even he could not fix. Unfortunately, I doubt this will happen, but this has caused quite a hassle for me. I would really love to do my work right now.

Sunday: A Day of Confession (2nd)

Once again another confession to make. After realizing that I do have a problem with telling these extravagant tales and mistruths, I must admit that this week I have continued to dawdle in this situation. Nothing serious ensued, but it just showed how difficult it is to break a habit. I will not go into details, but I must say that it has helped though I hate resolving situations in this manner.

I will continue to plow on ahead and attempt to continue to resolve this issue.

Stuff

Nothing all that phenomenal has been happening at work lately. Most days have been slow or have seen their usual peak periods but other than that there is nothing of note to tell you about. About yesterday, I just realized that I have two more days left to work there. Friday is my last day and I am going to miss it all. Actually, I won’t miss the weird and rude customers, but rather the same night shift workers that I have come to be friends with. I have so much fun working there. It is interesting.

I also realized why companies probably cannot pay fast food people much higher. We all eat way too much of the product (Food COST!!!!). This really doesn’t matter when you realize that fries must be trashed every seven minutes, nuggets get trashed every hour, and other product gets trashed on the hour. I have had my share of fries; daily I get multiple kids packs of fries and then tons of crackers. Oh I have to mention the salads. Each night salads that were not sold have to be trashed again. So once again more food is trashed. I wonder just how much money Wendy's International is losing when it has these extremely strange rules with throwing food away.

In other news, I am still dwelling in the land of indecision. I am debating on whether or not staying in my Math Class. With the addition of two other classes that I must take that are more difficult, I am afraid of failure. Who knows? I have until the end of next week to decide.

I am still on track to get a Playstation 3 in the coming weeks, if not days. Probably right after the release of Super Smash Bros Brawl on February 10th, I will go out and buy the PS3 along with a game of choice (I am leaning towards Enchanted Arms or I might consider Heavenly Sword, though bought seem quite difficult). I do not know which exactly.

The future is a bit scary as well. Right now I do not know where I am going to be staying for the 2008-2009 school year. I have to enter the VCU Lottery again or have to go and get an apartment (which I do not really desire). I hope get somewhere on VCU this year.
