Horatio Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 So...starting now I'm going to attempt to add a hoverboard to my third level of the series. Wish me luck. Good luck, although I hardly think you will need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesusfreak Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 at Horatio's question. So someone pulled the fire alarm tonight. At least I didn't have anything to do. And I got more excersize on the stairs. Assuming you're living with other freshmen, get used to it. Most of them don't realize that pulling fire alarms isn't cool anymore because it doesn't get you out of class. Either that or they haven't learned how to cook popcorn in a microwave yet. The fire alarm in our building (honors freshmen in one half, mostly seniors in the other) went off close to 20 times last year. Keep a warm coat/blanket and shoes near the door at all times, and don't forget your room key on the way out. I'm guessing you speak from personal experience? Maaaaaaybe.

I was trying to copy the BB code for that attachment and it would either not highlight the last bracket or it would highlight it with the text next to it. So stupid...I had to just copy the first bracket and type in the other one. What do they call that feature, "smart highlight?" It should be called "highlight of the stupids".

Jesse Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'm sitting outside right now, in a courtyard at an old wooden table. The breeze is nice and the weather is perfect. I should do this more often. I'm going to finish up my history reading here, and then get to math. The hoverboard level isn't working very well so far...I had to change the setup a few times and now the stateID changes are refusing to work...but I'll keep trying later today. Took a nap for an hour today, which helped me feel less tired. I hope that marching band practice will be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Bah. I was hoping to have the hoverboard be controlled in a kind of freestyle way where you could shift up or down at your discretion, but it's just not possible. So I'll do a setup with an invisible floor (there's lava below) and make due with a one-level setup. Though, I'll have the player jump up on or over blocks, and crouch to fit in crawlspaces as they approach them, and then if the player hits a wall I'll try and find a way to make it look like Luke is falling into the lava. So, it's tough when you realize you were wasting time on something. But I guess whenever you experiment with things you can't always have a success. And you still learn from it. Heh, perhaps that belongs in the lessons of life topic. Goodnight everyone. Oh yeah, I've been at home for the weekend. It's quite relaxing though I keep struggling over whether to be relaxing or doing work. Anyway, goodnight again. I have to wake up for church tomorrow.

And I know I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for what I had to go through. And I like who I am today. Just remember: be the best person you know how to be, and be yourself, no matter what. The people that are mean to you don't matter. And they're probably going to fail at life. You're better than that. Those are and always will be the words to get me through those days. Thankyou. You're very kind. I appriciate what you said, it means so much. You are most welcome. :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yeah, despite my having seen Jesse several times lately, he's been neglecting his own topic. Life must be going good for him! Or at least I certainly hope so. Yes, overall it is. My academic writing teacher loves my writing, as he said in our conference. I got a 100 on the first paper and I'm going to get either a 95 or a 100 on the second one, and I will have at least an A for my midterm grade. He wished that I was majoring in English. Math class is pretty straight forward. I got a 93 on the first test, and for quiz grades I have two 100's and a 93. I also got an A- on my first project (he liked my sketches for the 3D graphs, haha...I thought they were horrible!) My French class is fun but kind of tough for me in terms of analyzing films. I am horrible at analyzing works of art. The midterm is coming up soon, I hope I will do okay... History has lots and lots of reading. The first exam is on Tuesday and I'm trying to study lots for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Awesome! So, do you have any entertaining college stories to tell us yet? Um, well we had a power outage for 4 hours on Thursday. Everyone was being obnoxious cause they were board. Fortunately I had my can'tthinkpad, my iBook, my iPod, and my DS all with good amounts of battery life to keep me occupied. Oh, and music theory homework. Otherwise it's just the people on my floor being dumb. Like drawing X rated things on signs (I consider it a sign of creativity to be interesting without being X rated) and playing wiffle ball in the common room. And the girls that come over to our suite do even worse things that I won't mention here. I don't know. I'm kind of tired of college life at the moment.

It happens, especially if you're in freshmen housing. Last year, despite it being honors freshmen, the fire alarm went off more than 14 times in one semester, and we had people draw penises on our whiteboards. If you have the opportunity, live in wellness (substance free) housing next year. And wiffle ball in the common room sounds fun, you should ask to join them. And I agree, people at college can get pretty obnoxious. I'm currently considering purchasing a super soaker to deal with the ones who scream outside my window past quiet hours.

Jesse Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Just read the holy rule of saint benedict, which was very painful for me. That guy is so full of it. Basically he's brainwashing everyone with his stupid interpretation of the Bible. The football game on Saturday was fun, a bit warm though. Only one more of those, and then an exhibition, and marching season is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 The last marching event was crazy. It was moved inside due to terrible winds and wind chill and inside the gym it was really loud. But it was fun, and some people danced to the copacabana theme. Glad it's over, all the same. I moved up to a 3.5 reed on the clarinet, and that has helped my altissimo register a lot (the notes above the C above the staff). I have been working on those notes, so I can hit them more strongly and not have to run up to them in order to squeeze the pitches out. I can hit altissimo G rather well now. I have also learned G# and A but I need to work on those some more (these notes are not even mentioned in most fingering books! I had to find a site where people submit all the alternate fingerings they know. Appearently you can get to the C above these notes, maybe even higher, but I'm trying not to rush it ). I've been looking at the clarinet family some more and there is a lot more to it than I thought. The typical clarinet is a b-flat soprano clarinet. There are also A and C clarinets used typically for operas, orchestras, and plays. There is also the e-flat "sopranino" clarinet. I want to own one of these some day! It looks about 2/3 the size of a b-flat and plays a minor third above the notes read, giving it a useful high range. There is also an a-flat piccolo clarinet (also called a sopranino) which must be crazy high, along with other piccolo clarinets, but these are all pretty rare. Then there's the also, bass, contra alto, and contrabass clarinets. There are even clarinet choirs that are all types of clarinets. Bah, and I just said I was tired of typing. I seriously should stop now. Goodnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot the G soprano clarinet, which is considered the "Turkish clarinet", rare in the western hemisphere. There have also been D and F soprano clarinets, but these last two are really rare nowadays. Not to mention that there are also different key systems for the clarinet. The most common one, which I have, is the boehm system, but there are also the albert and oehler systems. And there is also a kinderklarinette which has only 3 keys (and the holes). Yeah. I'm like, a clarinet fanatic now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Feeling some slight disappointment with college life. It's like everyone views it like some kind of giant party. Girls running by the door giggling like idiots, guys beating up each other for fun in the halls. Everyone vying to get their hands on alcohol, everyone going to the snickering squirrel (I think it's a strip joint nearby, but I don't care to find out). Everyone being drunk, screaming, somehow exhibiting even more stupidity than they were before. Not caring for their neighbors at all, not a passing thought. Everyone getting into "relationships" or trying to keep them from times before college, and stupidly failing at them, usually because they forgot that little detail about actually being a college student. Everyone craving for friendships and diving into peer pressure because they do not have, or just don't try to exhibit, a single bit of independence. Fortunately my roommate isn't included in "everyone," except the relationship bit, though he does like to blast music and turn the room into a movie theatre or tv-a-thon. He is watching star wars right now. He caters to his selfish girlfriend who wants him to do her work and yells at him if he doesn't, and she chews him out for actually doing productive things like going on habitat for humanity spring trips, or being busy with work. Which he usually starts late at night because he has to have entertainment first. Or get a permissive notice out of his girlfriend to start working. And then he wonders, along with many other college students, why his midterm grades weren't great. And they all blame it on the teachers (though I am by no means excluding the teacher as a factor). So yeah, I'm just tired of it. I mean, I'm having some fun too, like with band and chorus, but that's...it. The student events are not my way of hanging out, my roommate has run out of time to play videogames with me, and almost everyone else is crazy at night, so I sit by myself either trying to do work or build my humble TR project or practice clarinet.

Unfortunately for you, many students had curfews and parents who monitored their lives while they were in high school, so now they are in college, with no one watching, they act like maniacs. Of course, when it comes to their mediocre grades, it is always someone else's fault. If they took the blame themselves, then they would have no excuse but to buckle down and study. LOL I do believe you will find a group of friends who are of the same mindset as you. When you do, this will make dorm life so much better. As for your roommate's girlfriend, I hope he doesn't get too serious with this girl. What a way to spend the rest of his life, but with a bossy, controlling woman... that would be punishment.

I'm glad to see you've got more sense than that. If you get the chance, live in wellness/substance free housing next year. No drunks screaming down the hall at 3am, people are nicer, and more likely to have similar interests to you (like not getting plastered). As for the relationships thing, freshman year relationships almst never work out, so don't bother trying. As for your roomie, he's in a bad spot, and we have a word for that: whipped. A friend of mine was in a similar situation last year. Wasn't pretty. Frienships are important, but, like you said, so is maintaining your own character. Don't be afraid to bend a little or try new things, just keep a level head about it. As for your neighbors, if the RAs won't deal with it, invest in some earplugs and good headphones. And also, midterms. It's a stressful time of the year, and when people are done with them, they celebrate (often, as you say, stupidly). College makes you a patient person...

When you do, this will make dorm life so much better. Yes, I hope so. I won't be rooming with the same person next year (he is rooming with someone else). I do find that kids in the Honors Program are kind of the same mindset as me but I haven't been able to hangout with them much thanks to chorus and band monday nights . Actually the chorus and band kids are nice too. Crazy, some of them, but nice.... bah, my dad told me not to worry too much about next year, and he's probably right. Anyway I'll probably request my current roommate as a suitemate for next year. As for your roommate's girlfriend, I hope he doesn't get too serious with this girl. What a way to spend the rest of his life, but with a bossy, controlling woman... that would be punishment. Yes, but he keeps saying he loves her...he isn't even sure that she truly loves him back, but that doesn't seem to matter as much. He wants *her* to be the one to break up, he's pretty stubborn about keeping it going. Like Charlie Brown says, "the things I do for love..." If you get the chance, live in wellness/substance free housing next year. The whole campus is substance free. Well, it's supposed to be. I think my freshman class is exhibiting the worst alcohol problems that the school has had, though it's like EVERYONE, not just freshmen, talks about drinking. As for your neighbors, if the RAs won't deal with it, invest in some earplugs and good headphones. Not sure how good my headphones are, but yep, I've gotten both of those. And an eyemask. College makes you a patient person... Yes, I can see why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should meet more honours students. As for the band kids being nice and somewhat crazy... think Mega Wolf. "The things people do for love..." Isn't that the truth.

Jesse Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Why do people think rivalry is such a great thing? Some woman, before the second basketball game tonight, was giving a speech about a dead man and she was all like "I'm sure he would be here at this double header to see the start of a new rivalry!" And the student events team was sending emails titled "Why SHU is BETTER THAN Fairfield!" linking to a video of our mascot doing stupid things on their campus. It makes me sick. What kind of messed up people would WANT to start spreading hatred? Does our college need someone to hate? I hope not. And it's certainly not necessary for sports. People online are like "you must not be an athlete or else you would respect the rivalry". Respect the rivalry, my furry bottom! Play a game and have some friendly competition, not an all-out war between two schools, which can only lead to devastating things. By the way Fairfield littered our campus and wrote messages in chalk on a sidewalk. All I know is, I didn't ask for this. And then some trumpet player was all like, "if we had the clarinet part for such-and-such song then it would sound much better" which made me feel depressed because I had messed that part up, and angry because I'm tired of trumpet players being so elitist. As if they always play well. Not like clarinets can be heard in pep band though. :closedeyes: I'm done with sports. It feels like I've fulfilled my sport event quota for a few years. And yet they well be taking up all of February and March, and I can't go home for my birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Why do people think rivalry is such a great thing? Some woman, before the second basketball game tonight, was giving a speech about a dead man and she was all like "I'm sure he would be here at this double header to see the start of a new rivalry!" And the student events team was sending emails titled "Why SHU is BETTER THAN Fairfield!" linking to a video of our mascot doing stupid things on their campus. It makes me sick. What kind of messed up people would WANT to start spreading hatred? Does our college need someone to hate? I hope not. And it's certainly not necessary for sports. People online are like "you must not be an athlete or else you would respect the rivalry". Respect the rivalry, my furry bottom!

I really enjoy when you can play a friendly game or ride bikes in the dirt and everyone has fun, but when there is a rivalry and people start acting stupid, I think all the fun disappears. Sorry you will have to be with the sports group during your birthday. We will celebrate it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesusfreak Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Ugh, sports rivalries are lame. They prove people have no lives. I hate competing, hence my lack of sports participation. It's so stupid. That's why I love my school. No one really cares that much about our sports team, and the football team has been undefeated for years because it doesn't exist. And I like that. Because people don't look down on you if you don't care about sports here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday Marius was wearing a t-shirt that says (now mind you, present-day Marius is probably the LEAST likely person to participate or be interested in sports), "Rider Football, undefeated since 1951." I want one of those shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Oh yeah, I could be a sophomore next semester. Because I'll have enough credits, according to the table under "Normal Academic Progress" in the handbook. I sent an email to my academic adviser asking if this makes me a sophomore, if not what would, and if so how I get sophomore privileges. And if I'm a sophomore next semester, next year I'll have enough credits to be a junior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again quite a few substitute teachers don't make the class progress and instead just sit there I had a substitute teacher teaching my english class for the last three quarters of my first year in high school He really needed discipline skills. Anyway, for me AP credits only make up part of my transcript. I placed in a high level French class (FR 354) and the school gave me transfer credits for the levels below. They also gave me transfer credit for precalc. But that made a total of 18 credits so I'm not complaining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer credits don't count towards graduation at your school? Only if the credits count toward the requirements for my major(s). When I started out in physics, the math requirements started out at either algebra and trig or calc, so finite wouldn't have counted for anything.

Isn't there an overall amount of credits to meet in order to graduate though? At my school you need 120 credits to graduate. My roommate is driving me crazy. He's eating right now. It sounds like he's giving off electrical sparks with his smacking. It makes me feel sick. And blasting youtube movies. He also keeps walking in when I want to practice clarinet, and I can't play with him in the room. Or with the door open. I also have a billion projects to do. I have a french one due December 12, a history one for December 7, and an optional math one for December 6 (gives me 2 points on my final grade). I should probably add stuff my presentation for music theory tomorrow, and I also have to write a paper for Music Theory, and I still haven't received the topics for it. No response from my mentor or academic adviser about being a sophomore next semester. I might take things into my own hands if I get impatient enough. I just don't know how. Maybe I'll approach the registrar. Maybe fill out a degree waiver form if I have to do it that way. So must stuff. I feel so overwhelmed, I don't know where to begin.

I can understand why you feel overwhelmed. I would have crawled back into my cage and waited for another day. You have so many projects with close deadlines. There is a really good deep breathing exercise that helps you destress and it only takes a minute. Let me know if you want me to write it out for you. As for your roommate... I agree with you. Your description is great! I can hear the sparks from the smacking now. Perhaps you out to make a movie of him eating and put that on youtube. Practicing will be a problem if he doesn't cooperate. You could make him leave by starting to practice and playing the same bar over and over about one hundred times. That would drive him out. For someone who isn't actually doing the practicing, hearing the same few notes over and over kind of wears on them, unless it is your instructor. Mentor/advisors occasionally need to be prodded.

There is a different number of credits for each major, I forget how many. I hate it when people are noisy when they eat. It gets me crazy. That's when I put my headphones on, which is what you should tell your roomie to do. There is NO excuse for blasting youtube. As for the clarinet thing, I suggest agreeing on a set time for him to be out of the room so you can practice (or do it when he has class). If all else fails, tie a sock to the door. Projects: Oh boy do I know how you feel. I generally start with whatever is mandatory and due the soonest and do that one first. Your college should list somewhere how many credits you need to be a sophomore. If it's like my college, I know to be a junior you have to have at least 60, so a sophomore should have at least 30 I think. Something like that. Why do you need to know? And above all else *BIG HUGS!* Relax (or at least try to). Everything will be okay. God promises to never give you more than you can handle.

Jesse Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I feel kind of dumb. I went to the registrars to ask how I can be a sophomore next semester and she was just like, "Whoever is concerned with you just looks at your credits." So I guess there's nothing extra to do. Time to look for sophomore housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted December 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Okay, so no sophomore housing next semester. Res life has a big problem with it. Basically the one point brought to me that stopped me was that having a good roommate, which I do, is better than having good people in the surrounding area. There weren't any male openings at the moment anyway (that's the one thing about being a guy at this school, you're way in the minority). Looks like I won't get much friction getting into upperclassmen housing next year though. I really should find a roommate though. Somehow, I have to find someone who will be a good roommate, is currently a sophomore, and is planning to apply for the specialty housing (they have apartments restricted to peoples with 3.00 GPAs and higher) In other news. My history seminar paper is DONE! Well it was done a while ago. Just need to make a powerpoint for the presentation before tomorrow. My french script is DONE! 13 pages of dialog, camera angles, and scene descriptions. In french. Finally got a Music Theory topic set for writing the paper. There doesn't seem to be a word/page requirement, so I'll just try to shoot for 1,000 words. I chose to do a Biography on Benny Goodman. This is due on Tuesday. I'll start on this next, after finishing the powerpoint for history. Just mostly typing that to organize my thoughts. I think that's everything. Well except the 3 finals I'm taking.

You will probably find a great roommate and friend with your same interests. Congratulations on completing all you have on your assignments. Sounds like you have really been hard at work. Good luck on your finals. I'm certain you will ace them!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted December 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I've been home yesterday and today but I have to go back soon because of the concert tomorrow. We decorated the christmas tree and all that...it makes me feel sad. For the next four days I'll be trapped in that zoo, that frat house filled with monkeys yelling at each other or at other crazy animals that they insist on bringing over during the wee hours of the night and hanging out louder than they've ever hung out before, saving studying until the inhuman hours and...sleep? What's that? And those 4 days I need to study for finals. I have to go. See ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them to go somewhere else, and if they don't, get an RA. And I don't know about you, but where I am, finals time means 24-hour quiet hours so people can study and write their papers.

Oh yeah, we have 24-hour quiet hours too. Starting tomorrow I think. Anyway it's been rather quiet since I got back, though maybe not everyone's back yet. Tomorrow is the last day of classes and then finals start. My RA has been lenient about people being loud and stuff. I think he likes it that way, but if it gets bad during finals week I'll try to catch him and talk about it. Also he says that there have been a growing amount of complaints from parents who have been in contact with students (says a guy at our floor meeting, "who calls their parents?" insert image here of me looking guiltily at the floor ) so I hope that certain behavior will start to get cracked down on. I had my band concert today and it was nice. My parents said they could hear me (hope that means in a good way... ) and they could hear me singing too (we did the silent night in "oohs" if we weren't playing any part, I sung an octave below must of the guys when I felt like it). The crowd wasn't very big, probably because not too many students care and parents might have been kept away due to weather (my parents almost didn't come because of forecasts). But it was still nice to do, and see my parents. My schedule for my last week (Woohoo!) Tomorrow: Finish my music theory paper, go to calc class, study for history Tuesday: History final, send french script, study for math Wednesday: study for math, math final, go home Thursday: study for french, attend my sister's concert Friday: Stop by the school for french final, go back home.

I had my band concert today and it was nice. My parents said they could hear me (hope that means in a good way... ) and they could hear me singing too (we did the silent night in "oohs" if we weren't playing any part, I sung an octave below must of the guys when I felt like it). The crowd wasn't very big, probably because not too many students care and parents might have been kept away due to weather (my parents almost didn't come because of forecasts). But it was still nice to do, and see my parents. My schedule for my last week (Woohoo!) Tomorrow: Finish my music theory paper, go to calc class, study for history Tuesday: History final, send french script, study for math Wednesday: study for math, math final, go home Thursday: study for french, attend my sister's concert Friday: Stop by the school for french final, go back home. Sounds like you have the situation under control with your RA. I think your ideas are good. Parents can always put pressure on when students can't. Here's a round of applause for your concert today. It was nice hearing that your parents could make it. I am certain you played and sang fantastically. What a schedule for the next week. I am tired just reading it. You will do great on your finals.

Jesusfreak Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Wooo band concert! Fun times! Yeah, our RA is good about keeping things quiet in our halls, he's pretty awesome. Or, if you ask some of my friends from down the hall, he's also just pretty. And I would hope everyone calls their parents sometimes. People that look down on calling their parents are usually jerks, and people that are nice to their parents are usually nice people themselves. Just some food for thought.

Or, if you ask some of my friends from down the hall, he's also just pretty. And I would hope everyone calls their parents sometimes. I know, what is it with girls and RAs? At the beginning of the year they were all asking me "how is your RA?" and interrupt my response with "IS HE KEWT??!" People that look down on calling their parents are usually jerks, and people that are nice to their parents are usually nice people themselves. Just some food for thought. Not surprising then that the guy who asked that question was the same guy who, when my roommate left my door open (it doesn't close itself, the stupid thing), was about to poor water or something over our microwave and the girls with him were like, "do it, do it!" until I peered around my bed and asked, "what are you doing?" That buttmunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That buttmunch. lol dunno, I just like our RA because he's a really nice guy. But then again, I've never been one to look at someone and say, "He's cute!" or something along those lines, unless I'm referring to their personality. And yeah, the pouring water thing doesn't surprise me too much. That's why I like having my desk facing so I can easily see the door and who's coming in or out. Although no one's ever tried to damage any of my stuff, outside of my friends acting like they're about to put something of mine in their mouth.

I had to ask. Wish my college had a wind ensemble, that's one thing I miss from high school There just isn't as much interest in music. It's all sports. So anyway, all of my final grades are finally posted online. I got all A's, except an A- in History (which was a nice surprise for me) which makes my GPA is 3.958.

My guess is about a 3.99 or pretty close. Your grades are phenomenal! You have worked really hard!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
