Studying at the library
April 10, 2000
The nature of this rant is rather personal and as such, you may feel at times when reading this some urges to vomit and/or smash your skull against the monitor. The staff at JVision take no liability for any damages, health or property related stemming from reading online materials presented on this site. With that in mind, let’s begin.
Today’s topic: checking out girls. *snicker*
So I was at D. Lam library tonight, reading notes for my psyc final tomorrow. I’m about half an hour into studying when I look up and see someone who catches my eye, sitting two tables in front of me. This someone, is a girl who happens to be in my psyc class, I don’t know her name, nor do I really care to find out. For simplicity’s sake, let’s just call her Linda (she looks like a Linda).
Anyway, I look at Linda. She looks up and looks at me. You know that awkward feeling when 2 sets of eyes meet and when those 2 people don’t know each other? Well, that’s the feeling I got. Did I mention that Linda is really cute? Nice big eyes, a small sharp nose, a kind of natural glum look that begs people to sympathize with her and want to give her a hug. Yeah that’s Linda alright. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any feelings for her nor do I want to, I just looked at her and admired her looks. Simple as that.
Prior to seeing Linda, I was absorbed in my notes and didn’t notice anything going on around me, but after seeing her, I totally became aware of my slobby attire, my just-got-out-of-the-shower hair, my goofy glasses, and my obnoxious character. I knew she wasn’t going to check me out, much less, even look at me, but I felt a big surge in self-monitoring (haha psyc term).
Girls can be such nuisances. I was so absorbed in studying and making good progress but once I saw Linda, my attention was divided much like bandwidth is divided in an ADSL connection. I couldn’t help but look up from reading every few pages and look at her. Just couldn’t help it. I don’t think she noticed because everytime I looked, she had her head down reading something. (Which was all the better since further eye contact would feel even weirder).
I eventually got through my studying (with two cigarette breaks mind you). I must’ve looked at Linda about six or seven times in that three hour study period. I still don’t understand why I did it. I don’t feel any happier seeing her nor do I obtain any sick pleasures from seeing her too. All I can say is maybe it’s a biological thing – she’s cute, she’s sitting there, I’m sitting there, bam – I look at her.
I think I’m all ranted out about this matter (I don’t want to piss off anyone). To Linda, I say, “God you’re cute. Don’t worry, I’m just looking at you for your looks, not your mind.” And to everyone else, I say “Huzzah.” Heh, I guess this wasn’t so much a rant as it was a blurb.
SURPRISE!!!
Since this webpage was just going to sit around, I thought I would just put it up for the time being. I didn’t want all this work to go to waste. Don’t get too attached to it, it’s going down when finals are over and my new new design is up. As usual, the old webpage is up on the archives. I think everything works on this page so far. My old writing is up too. The new pics which are available at Andrew’s site aren’t up yet. Too lazy. Officially, this is called JVision but really, it’s v2.2. Don’t worry too much about versions, I’m dropping the whole version thing since I make a new webpage every month now. Those version numbers are just getting ridiculous.
I realize how boring this day’s update is – i have an excuse
Yeah today is one of those, “Who cares” updates where I just write about crap that doesn’t mean anything. Since I had 3.5 hours of sleep last night, can you really blame me? And I just finished studying all evening. Aargh.
Let’s see… something more interesting… ok I’ll write about it. Go see it in Rant.
MIS Final
Sucked. I left after 50 minutes (of the 2.5 hours given). I guessed a LOT and bullshitted a LOT. Sucked.
Then I spent the evening studying for the psyc exam tomorrow. Psyc is stupid but studying for it is quite difficult since there’s so many terms to memorize. Sucks some more.
Quake
Dennis is working a level that is consisted entirely of traps, an idea I played with when I made a q2 map. I believe it will be rather fun to explore.
The Boiler Room
A site made by Gene. Based on the movie. Talks about stocks. A pretty good site ~ nicely designed and has some informative stuff.
Some Places To Go
DBZ: Bid for Power – q3 mod coming soon. Looks really cool
Mixture – an online community – there’s a lot of models on there for some reason. Yeah.
STOMPED – a nice gaming site with focus on fps (Q3, UT, DK, etc.)
Choose Your Own Adventure – it’s back! Last seen in the agendas of our high school days, it has evolved to an online form. Nothing much on it but hopefully it’ll get more interesting.
