Resolutions

Classes begin tomorrow. It's a new semester for me, and though at 15 units it will be the lightest semester I've taken on paper, it may well be the biggest challenge I've faced so far. I'm done with basic core requirements and finally get to start digging into high-level Computer Science courses, including the infamous 70. For those outside the bubble, CS 70 typically has a coding assignment every week that takes at least 30 hours of work to get done. On top of that I have Rocky Horror work to do, and I guess I'm going to be one of the major crack dealers in the dorm as well. You see, my copy of Illuminati came in today (eternal thanks to my Robin for getting it for me), and I spent the entire afternoon playing two games of it. It's fun and addicting, and no two games are ever alike. But I don't think I'll be able to spend too much time on it this semester. There are many things I must do before I can.

I promise to take good care of myself and my appearance. Showers, every day, before class. I have seven good button-down shirts; I will make an effort to wear those instead of being lazy and wearing t-shirts. I will do laundry when my bag is full instead of when my drawer is empty, and I will iron the clothes that need it. I will try to get up and go to bed at decent hours, even on weekends, even though half my days don't begin until after lunch. I will sacrifice crack for sleep instead of the other way around.

You are all hereby authorized to use physical force to hold me to these resolutions.

It's dinnertime soon, and strangely, I'm rather looking forward to it.

Be strong, my friends, and we will come through this semester together.

I want the random places on my body to stop hurting. Right about now.

Right thigh, right hip, both knees.

Ow.
