Studying away

ewww... it's that time of year, when spring semester exams start... and students bury their faces in textbooks and notecards... i really hate this time of year... it's when migraines happen... i've got an english exam on Wednesday, and a physics exam on Friday night... after that, I'm going to sleep in on Saturday and relax until we go away

english exams suck, you have to remember themes and terms and be able to remember what the books were about... physics exams suck, you have to remember rates and equations and improbably theories and other scientific data

if only exams had one or two questions, or they were all multiple choice, then everything would be so much easier

Writing update

wow, my second update in 3 days... i must be doing new things a lot more often

since i was bored tonight... i started playing with my new 4GB flash drive... and i realized that i could put all my music on my iPod and everything else on the flash drive memory stick... but that's not important... i was bored tonight, and backed up a bunch of files, including my novel-in-progress files... after that, and being a little more bored, i opened up the file and started writing, and wrote a whole freaking page

the last time i actually wrote something was like a month ago, so i was feeling good... then i had a Twix and felt reeeeally good... now i'm watching Futurama and i feel great

so, i'm going to do some more watching, and some more writing... then maybe some sleep

:0)

(and maybe after my exams the Rylie podcast will become a reality and not just a freaky dream i had on Sunday)

Possible podcast update

well, i looked into it a little more last night, and found out i have to upload the files onto a site set up for it or something, which is a little bit of a hassle, but it's not that bad... so i went to a site i've heard of that does that kind of thing (i'm not naming the site, because i want to look around a little at others), and saw that i'll have to pay anywhere from 5 to 30 bucks a month to be able to do it... OMG... i was so surprised... and i was like, well, how am i going to do that? i'm just a student

then i went through it this morning to see how the whole process works, and found out i can pay for the darn thing using PayPal (bless you PayPal people, you're the best)... and in Feb i tried to set up an account (and almost thought i was out a chunk of change for a little while)... well, i noticed that it was all verified and everything, so i've now sort of solved one of my problems

now, if only i could create a genuis clone of myself that'll take my exams for me, i'll be set for the next couple of weeks

(sidebar: are people even reading this thing? am i just hoping for loyal readers? would you come here if you could actually listen to me talk instead? post your answers in the comments dealie)

Thinking hard... talking more

for the past little while, i've been thinking of putting together a podcast... just so i don't have to remember to write in this darn thing some of the times... sometimes saying stuff out loud makes so much more sense, because then you can hear the emotion and not just have to imagine it... i mean, i'm not a robot or anything

so, i'll be testing making audio files and seeing it i can post it straight to this site, then have it go through iTunes (cause i love my iTunes, and my green iPod)... when it works, i will have a huge celebration post, plus a celebration podcast

and no, this is no April Fool's joke

So in the mood for something interesting

Last week-end, my parents went to the BC Home and Garden Show, just because they keep fixing up the house and stuff... one day they'll just tear the whole place down and build a better house... they come back with free samples, and they bring me a 2007 guide of bed and breakfast's in Ireland... i was all, why?... and my mom was like, well, in case you want to take a trip

and it got me thinking, because i want to go, and i don't want to wait until next summer to go... i started thinking that once my passport arrives i should go in August after summer exams, and stay there for a week or so and just wander around a little... sometimes i get so bored here, doing the same thing over and over and over

well, there your weekly glimpse into my weird life... maybe i'll start posting twice weekly, on Saturdays and Wednesdays
