ok, so i decided instead of venting it all out on poor ribbit, i will rant here a bit.
*looks out window and stares straight at a goose who decided to walk by right then*
... uhm anyway... XD
my roommate can't manage her time well. it's cus she sleeps late most of the time, and then spends her entire morning till class in her lab. so when she gets out of class at 8 PM she takes some time for herself. which is fine with me, but.. after about 11 PM when she's done procrastinating, she starts all her work. which takes her to 2 AM or something. and .. i don't know what to say. for me, i take 20 credits so all i do is go to class or quickly cram in some hw somewhere.. and procrastinating.. that happens once every 2 days if not less. especially now, in the last few weeks of school. i can't afford to procrastinate. i have a take-home exam due at 1:40, which most ppl have spent hours on, and i have already spent a couple of hours on it too XD (it's only 3 questions.. how depressing)
other than that.. i have a wonderful maple lab due, which normally takes me only 3 hours but this one is extra long, and i can't figure out for the life of me how to solve a differential equation with matrices on maple.. and then.. tomorrow i have an essay due on a video called "east-african roots" or something like that. that's not too bad. but i also have thermal homework due, which is gonna murder me, and i have a quiz on locations and genii of early hominids found in africa.. =__= i'm gonna die...
and since i went to bed at 2 AM last night, my head is killing me. i don't know how i'm gonna do extensive math with such a headache.. and oh god, we're getting our exams back today.. and if i get a C or a D i can get rid of my math minor.. and my gpa will go down the drain... x__x (which it has already, don't worry.. 2.8 or something like that XD)

(also an overdose of phdcomics (phdcomics.com) and the desire to finally do research)

so. time to quote my math prof again since it is almost the end of the semester.

"In a last blast of electronic extasy"
"The shocking thing is even if you're a total schmuck this almost works!"
"I don't even know what's going on in my head! There's eels, radioactive cockroaches..."
"Actually, you gotta worry about a program scratching its head."
"Look at that, a giant radioactive mutant griffin!"
"I would go up there and sorta talk like a large duck." (yes, greenfield in a physics lecture)
"I am going to seduce you into believing that, in order that you may trip over your own nose."
"When you see a puppy, do you sorta kick it to see how fragile it is?" (no greenfield, you're not a puppy)
"Uhhh... barfo."
"You'll see what the formulas are and you can form your own emotional opinion on them."
"And then I did one of these acenine things.."
"The bacteria... it sorta....... Sex? *big grin* Oh sorry, it reproduces, and then rests a little *huff huff*, has a cigarette *pretends to smoke his chalk*"
*looks at small piece of chalk, takes out bigger piece from box* Viagra!
"Mathematicians: they're handsome, they smell good, they're intelligent, and they have humility. Oodles of it."
"This is not how I would have computed this at your age. I would have done a lot of calculations and would have a lot of numbers and I would have ran around and giggled a lot."
"Wait a second, Bozo, he said."
"This is a course in democratic mathematics; if you say it goes one way I will prove it!"
"Notice, btw, the chrystaline silence of the room. It's like going into the forest at midnight in a snowstorm, and the wolves are eating your entrails."
"There's gotta be a joke in it somewhere...... you don't know what the hell I'm talking about do you? That's right, shoot the teacher."
"Remember when you were in 4th grade? Yes I know, YOU didn't get up to that."
"The instructor copies from the book onto the board, and the student copies from the board onto the notebook. With great luck, all the traffic will bypass the brain!"
"What are you doing, flying away? *makes flying motions* Tweet!"
He also tried urging us to smoke so that we would die earlier and increase his social security.
"One tiny little whisper of an answer in the wilderness."
"I'm talking about gambling b/c it's fun and it's easy."
"Thinking is the enemy of thought."
"Here, I will now take a big conceptual leap. *leaps*"
*points at one student with a scary face* "Notice, btw, how both of them just moved away from you. The finger of death is pointing at you."
"And if you're giggling at me it shows that you don't like diversity and could be thrown out of Rutgers."
"It's shaped like a HEART." *starts feeling, poking chest, gets worried look* *quickly takes pulse, and worried look disappears*
"Let's be stupid! Which is not hard for me.."
"Am I allowed to talk about evolution?" *excited look*

:) So. I hope christal enjoys this.

Let's just say that my dad is such a character....

aaaachhhh ik met medelijden met je, hoor! een hele dag geen classes!

Nou, het is hier redelijk droog - dwz er is maar weinig water in de kelder, en ook het dak lekt maar een heel klein beetje. Weet je trouwens dat het bij opa 28C is? dat is zo'n 82F. De marathon in Rotterdam moest daarom vroegtijdig worden afgebroken - te heet.

Kan je je nauwelijks voorstellen he?

Ben benieuwd of Linda vanmiddag gaat rennen (zal haast wel) - geen hurdling, maar puddling - have to make a big splash in each puddle - mag ik ook meedoen?

Nou doei,

Det

so yea... xP

This layout is getting old to me already, I should change it when I have time. (you can wait for that to happen about spring break or so)
so yea, after failing that wonderful calc exam, i decided i might want to study more for that. but i also have to write a quite wonderful french essay about something i have no clue about cus i missed 2 lectures. >_<
*sighs*

other than that, i get to see petje in 1 1/2 weeks, and that is by far the most amazing thing ever. oh, and im almost 19 as well. that is quite scary.

I can't believe that I was in Europe yesterday... Insane.
Other than that I stole this from feathery heathery:

Your Brain is Green

Of all the brain types, yours has the most balance.
You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver.
You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns.

You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual).

What Color Is Your Brain?

So yea. petje is coming tonight. im sooo excited. i can't wait
