nineOkay, so I have been planning on writing some interesting things for my journal, but at the moment, I've been tied down with other stuff to do, so I'm not. Consider this entry an update of sorts.
I really don't like Wednesdays. Uni starts at 8am and finishes at 11. Today it was raining, I was tired, and I wanted to work on an assignment instead, so I didn't go. Anyway, later on I heard on the news that it had apparently seriously flooded, and the entire region I live in was apparently classified as a natural disaster zone (see this for a news story). I was inside all day, so didn't see anything, but I did NOT know the rain was that bad. O__o
It's weird how the hardest class I'm taking seems to be Japanese, which has absolutely nothing to do with any of my majors. I'm just doing it because it's awesome, the same reason I'm studying everything else I'm studying. But it is hard. And tiring. Especially kanji. I have to know so much kanji.
I've also been working on a programming assignment that's due on Friday. It's not that hard - I basically just have to write a program in python that works similar to the game "Mastermind", except where the user guesses numbers instead of colours.
We also ran out of downloads for the month barely two weeks in, and my net access has been sporadic as a result. Anyway, we went to look at our ISPs website, and apparently it turns out they've been offering a plan with a larger limit for the same price as the one we're currently on, but haven't told the people using the existing plan that they can upgrade to it. Which isn't surprising considering the way those companies work. Sigh.
Ohh yeah.. and as for music, now, Infected Mushroom are nothing new to me, but until recently I've greatly underestimated disc 2 of their album "Converting Vegetarians". I've been listening to it a lot over the past few days, and some of the tunes are really good. It deviates a lot from their psytrance origins, but it's all really, really good stuff, and there isn't a single song I don't like. Listen to one of the songs here if you're interested.
Anyway. That is the end of my update post.
