I’m so angry that not even one person from hssca apologized to mc for accusing her of breaking the original mc’s leg - AFTER DANIELLE CONFESSED AND THEY ALL KNEW THEY WERE IN THE WRONG - and worse mc just accepts it. I mean obviously I had to forgive ajay regardless but Trevor!!!!!

‘I keep saying how “ohhh I can’t wait for bloodhound book 2” or “I can’t wait for perfect match book 2!” Same thing wit HSS etc but at the same time though PB still ain’t give us most wanted book 2 or hero or any other sequel people have been waiting for and it’s like you gone work on a completely new book (desire and decorum) instead of giving people what they have been waiting for for a hella long time….🤨’

POST/CONFESSIONS DO NOT REFLECT THE MOD’S PERSONAL OPINIONS!

Me, while trying to figure out how many keys I’ll have when the new chapter of D&D, atv, the senior and hss class act comes out today...

[yesivefallenpreytothechoicestrap]

I love how before hssca came out everyone was so adamant that they wouldn’t like playing as a 15 year old or being involved in the stupid high school drama and now everyone’s so invested...

I mean it’s still pretty much just stupid high school drama but we’re so invested now and I just find that funny I dunno 🤷‍♀️

April 20, 2011 - 6868 steps

Physics at 10am, homework was collected, learned more stuff about energies and potentials (specifically, sketching wave functions given potentials and energies) and tunneling of particles

Hour break at 11am, went to EE lab, put some stuff together for comp arch

Comp arch at noon, except more like 1:15pm (aside from the fact that the class is supposed to be at noon, we were told it was going to be at 1pm today, and he arrives 15 mins later than that of course). Went over some of the assignment and how to use an o-scope. Also ceramic resonators and how to wire up the P16F877.

Rant: We were then given an absurd assignment to design a 4-bit processor using a PAL (which we have learned nothing about), some memory chips (which we have also not learned how to use) with a PIC involved somehow, written up in extremely vague language ("You will have to figure it out on your own" is a thing that was said) and assigned to us on the spot (as always) in a huge indecipherable mess on the whiteboard. With a schematic due by Sunday. I'm sorry but this class is just ridiculous. Sure, it's nice going 90% of the semester without any real work to do and having the first hour of every three-hour class being free time while he's late, but we don't really learn what we're supposed to learn, and get this crazy final project without even a printout telling us what is expected from it. But anyway.

Two hour break at 3pm, ate some food, printed out HSS essay and annotated bibliography, then worked on Signals stuff in MATLAB in the computer center.

MATLAB seminar at 5pm, learned about simulink

HSS at 6pm, presentations on peoples' papers, and discussion about our visit to the Empire State Building two weeks ago. Ended up going 15 minutes late (until 9:15). Also I cannot speak for more than two minutes at a time without completely messing up and having no idea what I am saying, but that is another story.

Walked home at 9:15pm, 6868 steps.

April 19, 2011 - 3680 steps

productivity day

finished 18 page paper for HSS (still have to change the annotated bibliography for tomorrow)

3pm: played pokemon on subway, still at Twist mountain. First pokemon I encountered in there turned out to be a fairly uncommon one, which is great.

4pm: solid state, small signal (AC) analysis of BJTs, got exam back at the end, I got the same score as last time, except this time that score was 10 points above the average (whereas last test it was 6 points below average), so now I am 4 points above average after two exams.

5pm: physics recitation, had quiz, not entirely sure if I did well but I would certainly hope so

6pm: went home, finished physics homework (which I didn't realize was due tomorrow until someone told me today), it was fairly straightforward except one problem. Then did comp arch assignment (programming a pic using assembly, it was mainly just figuring out how to use the MPLAB IDE)

Registration at 9am, Game Theory was full so I had to pick another humanities elective on the spot, ended up picking World Religions because it fit my schedule. I'm planning on dropping it if I can get a language course next semester though. Went to library after, wrote more stuff down on my sheet for the solid state exam

Physics at 10am, some wave equation stuff and then probability density functions and Hamiltonians and all that sort of stuff

Hour break at 11am, went to library, same stuff as before

Comp Arch at noon (I found out that the abbreviation is not "comp arc" but "comp arch" where the h is silent like in architecture, which is what it stands for). Professor actually arrived early today, and by "early" I mean 35 minutes late rather than 45 minutes late. Some people weren't there due to registration and whatnot. Anyway, learned a few more assembly commands, and how to do loops and stuff, then he gave us an assignment

Two hour break at 3pm, went to McDonald's, then to the library again. MATLAB seminar was canceled so it was actually a three-hour break. Did some more solid state stuff

HSS4 at 6pm, a brief thing about our papers, and then individual discussions. Somehow I got an A- on my prospectus, which is weird because it wasn't even the required 5 pages (it was like 4.3 pages perhaps) and based on the email she sent out awhile ago, it seemed like everyone else seemed to be getting lower grades on it. Oh well, that's good for me. I typically put little effort into HSS courses and somehow get A's, so I guess this is one of the few things about college that I can compare to high school.

Walked home at about 7:20 rather than 9pm. 7228 steps taken

It'd probably be like 20,000 if I actually decided to walk home from Herald Square (in other news, I now know how to walk from my home to Herald Square), but more on that at the end

Physics at 10am, professor answered about 20 minutes of questions, and then we did stuff about uhh... wait, what did we do today, even? Oh right, interference patterns with photons and something about a Hitachi experiment that is considered one of the most beautiful experiments ever (or in the last 100 years), or something. I guess it is kinda cool.

Hour break at 11am, went to library, planned out schedule. There aren't very many conflicts, and if everything goes correctly (and it probably will, since the random number generator likes me and I got a 49, putting me in the first registration slot again), I will have no classes on Mondays.

Comp arc at noon, except more like 12:45 because he is always late (I will say this every week). Professor talked about Friday (yes, the song). Also learned about some more assembly instructions and what the different bits mean, etc. Seems fairly straightforward.

Went to humanities office with some people to ask about taking foreign language classes at The New School and they were not aware that some of the language classes start in late August rather than September. Anyway I might take Japanese next semester.

Ate some food, went to library and did some solid state homework until 5pm

MATLAB seminar at 5pm, learned about some graphical ways of doing filters in MATLAB, and also looked at the debugger

HSS4 at 6pm, today we had a ~field trip~ to the Empire State building and had a scavenger hunt thing where we took pictures of various tourist things. Best HSS class so far, especially because we got to leave whenever we felt like leaving. We walked to Herald Square and that place just reminds me of WalfasCon now; I remember being there on New Year's Eve with @Yuyuko_Saigyoji and playing Mahjong there with @canon_chan @8bmp and @R1CK_D0M, fun times. I guess those touristy places like Times Square will forever remind me of WalfasCon since those are the only times I've bothered going to those kinds of places.

Anyway, we finished at about 7:20 and I was going to walk back (rather than spend $2.25 on a subway ride), but then decided to just take the subway rather than walking about 50 blocks. It was raining very slightly.

13011 steps taken today.
