You're Thailand!
Calmer and more staunchly independent than almost all those around you,
you have a long history of rising above adversity. Recent adversity has led to questions
about your sexual promiscuity and the threat of disease, but you still manage to attract a
number of tourists and admirers. And despite any setbacks, you can really cook a good
meal whenever it's called for. Good enough to make people cry.

i've been reading my last few posts, and they don't seem to convey how really miserable i am.
i am. miserable. why isn't there a miserable hamster? or a heartbroken hamster?
usually crying helps to get it out of my system, but it's not working tonight. it just keeps going...

"College has crushed my soul and my very will to live. I think I need a nap. "
-Tom down the hall's away message. I'm pretty sure everyone on campus feels the same at this point.
sigh.
at least someone is passionate about something:
Eric: " I'm doing a one-man demo outside a McDonald's this afternoon. I'm going to cover myself in fake blood and lie on the sidewalk looking as dead as possible in front of the McDonald's in Market Square with a sign that says 'What if you were killed for a Burger?' "
... his grandparents are coming to pick him up. i'd like to see their reactions.
i'm supposed to sign up for Dinner with the Deans, which is actually a dinner with professors that Mudge sponsors. however, i can't think of any professors that i actually care to talk to. perhaps stancil... he was my ECE professor. meh...
who can maintain their sanity in this place? in the words of Tom (again): "NO ONE!! THAT'S BLOODY WHO!!... or is it 'whom'? ... wadeva. I hate my life, and I'm just going to have to get used to it. ... Anyway, the sex may be great and kinky and all, but Tae Bo just isn't for me. "
Sincerely,
Alison "Stuckinarut" Lauer.

03:17 oh, right.

current mood:  loved |
MAY:
Stubborn and hard-hearted. Strong-willed and highly motivated. Sharp thoughts. Easily angered. Attracts others and loves attention. Deep feelings. Beautiful physically and mentally. Firm Standpoint. Needs no motivation. Easily consoled. Systematic (left brain). Loves to dream. Strong clairvoyance. Understanding. Sickness usually in the ear and neck. Good imagination. Good physical. Weak breathing. Loves literature and the arts. Loves traveling. Dislike being at home. Restless. Not having many children. Hardworking. High spirited. Spendthrift.
I think arrogance should be in there too. it's so hard to tell the difference between arrogance and self-confidence... "beautiful physically and mentally" is pushing the line. ^___^ ah well. it's true. ;)
weak breathing ? what the hell?
also, not having many children? how am i supposed to know?
oh... and i'm right- and left-brained. yep. whole-brained, that's the word.
i'm hardworking when it's something fun (like decorating the hallway like a wedding! foil stars! *____*) but not so much at homework.
first time i've had the floaty feeling for over a year... tonight is good. imagine how infinitely better it would be if he was here.... ::floats away::

10:50 WARNING: graphic descriptions of my illness... well not really
current mood: still sick
current music: smashing pumpkins - thru the eyes of ruby |
I will now speculate on the causes of various symptoms.
nausea - no idea.
weakness/lightheadedness - perhaps from my inability to eat solid foods.
diarrhea - perhaps also from no solid foods, althought it was around when i could still eat normally.
ear pain - wtf? i dunno.
various aches and pains - my body hates me ?
so really, i have no idea what's causing any of this stuff. sigh.
also, abe doesn't wake up til 12 today, i think. so no motrin for me...

current mood:  sick
current music: oh right, i forgot about music... |
i'm going to update now because i'm sick and i can't do anything else. i don't know if i should go to class at 11:30... i suppose i should. i wonder what we're talking about.
i made a doctor's appointment for 1:30 today... i guess i can wait that long. i should email or call sameer and tell him i won't be coming to lunch though. considering i'm unsociable and can't eat, lunch would be a silly idea. sigh.
i can't lay down now. this is a problem because i would like to sleep. here's my sleep schedule recently:
yesterday, woke up at 9:30. went back to sleep from 4:30 to 10, roughly. tried to sleep at 11:30, couldn't so i went to lauren's room for a while, took some nyquil, and tried to sleep again at 1:30ish. didn't get to sleep until 2:30ish, woke up at various times through the night, and then woke up for good at 8. tried to get back to sleep, discovered i couldn't lay down cause of the pain. hopefully i can sleep tonight.
crap, i have work tonight. we'll see what the doctor says, i guess... i called in sick last night. i want to be better... also, i want to eat. this is stupid - i'm hungry, but i get extra sick when i try to eat something. at least juice doesn't make me sick... so i have vitamins at least. i should remember to tell the doctor that i can't eat solid foods.
i prolly can, they just make me feel like yarfing. (yarf = barf, a bunny-ism)
my ears hurt too. o_O and my throat. and my head. goddammit, wtf is this?? >___<
lilu's telling me to get an LJ.. but i think i'll just stick with this. it's gaining a following again... tom and rosy actually use it. and now i'm off to.. something. prolly drink more juice and try to find abe for his motrin. damn acetominophen doesn't work.

I Am A: Neutral Good Elf Bard Mage
Alignment:
Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.
Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.
Primary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.
Secondary Class:
Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.

Your soul is bound to the Yellow Rose: The
Gentle.
"I've travelled through the land of
surrender and seen it all. I throw my heart
out and keep my head up, and now I travel
through the land of peace."
The Yellow Rose is associated with friendship,
intuition, and fun. It is governed by the
goddess Hestia and its sign is The Intertwined
Rings, or True Friendship.
As a Yellow Rose, you always look out for your
friends. You would much rather have strong
ties with friends than a single tie with a
lover and your devotion to your friends is
clear. You may have great intuition and be
able to read emotions clearly, but sometimes
you can seem distant yourself.

Next Monday 24: online quiz (writing methods)
Wed Dec. 3: Exam 3 (all written)
**************************************
BINARY SEARCH TREES
**************************************
balanced - height of left tree ~= height of right tree (for all nodes; off by one)
height - either start at level 0, or at 1. (null tree is either 0 or -1)
traversal types
inorder > display returns straight line
preorder > display returns exact same tree
postorder > display returns different tree
// For use by countEvens()
private int countR(Node top)
{
if (top == null)
return 0;
L = countR(top, left);
R = countR(top, right);
if ((top.data%2) == 0)
return L + R + 1;
else
return L + R;
-delete a leaf with 2 children by redefining the greatest left leaf (or smallest right leaf) as the subtree's new root.
-delete a leaf with no children by pointing its parent to null.
-delete a leaf with one child by pointing its parent to the child.
(woo! getting out of class early!)

16:14 ::gasp:: is that what i think it is??
current mood:  hopeful
current music: oh, right. never opened itunes again. |
a real entry?? no way!
ok, so maybe it isn't... now that i've started to write i no longer have anything to say. i'm becoming increasingly wary of airing my affairs in public, especially when it involves specific people. i should get another journal that not everyone has a link to. hm. there's a thought.
reading brave new world for the gazillionth time... excellent as usual. i'd be done with it by now, except i actually have to pay attention in class occasionally. plus reading while walking doesn't work so well in big crowds of people. ah well.
i had chai today. ^___^ it was yummmmy. although it got cold really fast cause it's windy. grar. still yummy though!
haha! i was sitting at a 5-person table at lunch today, so two guys asked if they could sit with me, since there were no other seats. i think they were grad students... and they were from belgium. ^__^ it seemed like the one guy had just come here for the first time, but apparently they live in boston when they're not at CMU. he didn't know what calculus was, or the purpose of thanksgiving. he told me to read Pillars of the Earth by some guy. i think i've heard of it before, maybe. anyhow, i told him all about halloween and thanksgiving, and he was very confused by the concept of wearing costumes. he studies ECE, but he doesn't know what it stands for! XD that's what the other guy studies also... he told me not to study analog design because it is hard. ha! they thought i wasn't an engineer because i was reading a book. hehe. ^___^
ok, enough of the guys. (except that they couldn't pronounce Alison so they called me Alice! XD) ...juice is good. not so much the mango kind, however.
i think a nap is in order until the readme meeting at 6. yes.
