CMI wasn’t so bad. The professor is an oddball, though. Very very weird. Hrm. I dunno, it seems like it could potentially be a very very dry class. But it’s the sort of things that interest me though. We went over turing and touched a bit on the enigma code and touched base on how to write decimial, binary and hexidecimal. It’s really easy. I already knew binary +/- so I just needed to learn hexidecimal. In fact, I’m going to leave you a little code for you to decipher. You should. You know who you are. Work it out ;D After reading of course; it’ll probably take you a while. I’ll even give you a hint that gives away the code, yet leaves a lot of work all the same; Hexidecimal to binary to ASCII. ;o Get crack’n, time to learn a new thing via application. 😀 Don’t cheat! :p

That’s right, 17 lines of code with 24 characters each. Owned! But you’ve worked with code before as a programmer…this should come easy to ya. ^__^

Got some more movies today for us (us being my roommate and I) to watch…going to check out gladiator again as well as how they made the movies. Also am going to look over discs 2 and 3 and check out how they made the movie. I’m in a need-to-know position now, it seems. ;] Tis always a good thing. I’m not doing anything for thanksgiving though. Sorrow. If nothing else it’s more time to chill out and regather myself. I’ve already been doing a bit of that with all my sleeping since I got my blanket. See, I’ve been sleeping with a very small blanket for a while now. And it seems I haven’t been sleeping well because of it. Amy sent me one of my other ones and the first day I got it I slept for 15 hours. No lie. Next, close to 12. Catching up on missed sleep from being uncomfortable and not truly sleeping. Good times. Yeah, this section is just gravy.

Trois!

So why am I up to begin with? It’s a bad idea, I suppose. I guess I’m kind of waiting to see what happens tonite, despite having a class that starts at 9am (it’s 1:35 am now and I haven’t slept yet). I don’t mind sleeping a little less, though. It’s almost exciting to not know how things are going to turn out. But I like what’s happening lately. A couple sporadic conversations, tis a good thing. I really enjoy them, honestly. Tis a good balance with school, this is known. I just need to balance my body out now. It’s proving to be harder than I thought. I don’t really want to spend the time on it that I know I really should, haha. But yeah, the conversations are worthwhile. I’ve been curious though. Of course they’re always nice after the nervousness goes away, which is usually very quickly. It kind of strikes me as odd that I even get nervous though. Perhaps because I know I’m somewhat expendable now and that I need to be more careful about how I present myself. Last time I just lept into things when I tried to be helpful and the situation went really awkward because things didn’t turn out the way I thought they would. I really thought I could help but I guess not. I think that, perhaps, I still think too highly of my abilities and my understandings of the things around me. A better person wouldn’t have lept like that. Perhaps I really don’t understand much at all. The more and more I see the more and more I feel I really don’t know much of anything. Mmm…but anyway. I think it adds some to my nervousness. I suppose it adds to my distance too, somewhat. I’m still not used to that. I’m a very very ‘close’ person in a lot of ways; I like to feel and be emotionally close. It’s just a different situation, though. Same thing but different. Am I distant? Yes and no. I guess that’s the final answer to it. But something interesting came up last night. I was listening to mystline….a fairly powerful song to me. I talked about it, too. I told her it was about the night and it was about the fireflies…and I told her that the fireflies flash because they’re seeking out one another; looking for their partners. It’s what they do. I told her, too, that that’s a lot like what people do. And that it’s sad because so many people are looking for the same thing but they lack the inner devotion, strength or maybe even the capability to fufill the beauty of that concept. And not just that one, but all sorts of them. Perfect love is only one. There are so many things that people just fall short of because they just don’t care enough or try enough. I told her it was sad that people almost always seem to reach for their goals and then just give up…and she asked me if we were to be the exception. I didn’t expect that at all, especially not now. I told her maybe. She said it’d be nice. I agreed. And it would, wouldn’t it? It really would…
