You know.... as much as I hate stupid people, I would never tell someone to their face that they are stupid. And I would never make condecending remarks towards them because I think they don't know what they are talking about, especially if I'm the one talking out of my butt.
Ok. So some interesting life decisions are about to come my way. And I really don't know what to do with them. *sigh* So... what do y'all think about grad school? Here would be cool... I could study under Dr. T.J., or Dr. Dampier, or maybe (if I could coax him out of retirement) Dr. Mr. Boggess. Chad could ummmm... get his (PhD) degree here, or work or something... and I could finish my masters, and then work or something while chad got (finished) his degree here (or somewhere else). Or I could go somewhere else... Chad's thinking about MIT for his PhD... I don't know if I could handle MIT... or hell, even if I could get in. But it might be interesting... a degree from *ahhhhh* MIT. Or something. Or I could put the whole thing off, and just get a job like a normal person. There are CSC offices in Boston. Though none here...
I miss Chad. But he'll be back tomorrow. Sometime tomorrow, anyway.
I wish people would tell me when they have problems. Instead of sending other people to tell me. Or telling other people, in the secret hope that they will say something to me and make it all better. That doesn't make it all better. That pisses me off.
I wish people would stop overprotecting other people. And let them grow up and fight their own battles.
I wish, that when I try to explain a situaton, people who have no idea what's going on would butt out, and not lecture me on my personal life and interperonal relationships.
And, I wish that saying "I had a crappy day yesterday" would be enough explainantion for most things, and that people wouldn't push for details you don't care to give.
But unfortunatly, the world doesn't work that way. And now, people are going to read this, and be pissed I blogged it.
Dadgum it, it's my blog. If you have a problem, don't read it. How hard is that?
Preacher sent me this... too funny. Especially after the conversation Dr. Moore and I had about him teaching Fortran at the University back in the day. Only the Aerospace people do Fortran here now I think.... :-)
I'm back at school. Yay. My car is broke again. Not yay.
ok. So here's my life at the moment, in a nutshell:
Daddy is done with chemo. We think. For now. But we don't know, because the insurance is making a fuss about paying for another PET scan to find out how the cancer responded. At some point, in the future, after they decide it really is cost effective to pay for it... then he'll have the test, and find out whether he needs more chemo and whether he needs stronger (read: worse) chemo.
I have buttloads of stuff to do in the next three weeks. This week, I have a 20 page lab report to compile... like, tonight, so i can show the draft to the group tomorrow. And turn it in on Friday. Next week, I have at least one test, several homework assignments due, and two major programs due. And I'm missing class one of those days. The week after that, I'm going to feel like crap, and I have another major program due, and more homework and crap.... it never gets any better. I'm going to be doing homework until I die.
The doc thinks he's figured out what's wrong with me... and hopefully, this will be the fix-all cure. No more sick Deedee. We hope. *sigh* I hate being sick. It sucks. A lot.
Chad's going to Tulane this weekend for the game. I'm not. I'm doing homework... and maybe watching some movies or something. We'll see.
Meanwhile... I will either get like, no blogging done in the next week or so, or I'll blog insessently (spelling, anyone?) to relieve stress. meanwhile... I must code, for I am supposed to be in class in like, 30 minutes.
P.S. hacking computers can get you in trouble. So. Hypothetically. If you were going to hack. Don't get caught. :-)
so few words in the English language with which to say them...
*sigh*
so I'll go to bed, instead of blogging. because I lack the cognative ability to translate thoughts into pixels. and because, if I did manage to write something semi-coherent, no one else would understand it anyway.
Ha ha ha... I hunted people down in LiveJournal. They cannot escape me.... now the question is, how long until they show up here? And will they comment when they do? :-)
Ah. My new and interesting blogger interface was simply due to platform differences. Apparently blog for Mac is much differnt than blog for WinXP. Go figure.
Anyway... fun and exciting aside... apparently, my butt is recognizable and identifiable as belonging to me at 100 yards. By other females. Interesting. I haven't figured out exactly how I'm going to use this information, but I'm sure it will come to me. *eVil grin*
I'm trying to get lots of work done, while still "taking it easy", and managing to go home for the weekend.... [FYI: I'll be going home sometime on Saturday, I think, and returning Tuesday morning, if all goes well]
Anyway...

Interesting. Blogger looks much different than it did this morning... maybe it's cause I'm on a mac. but I doubt it. I think they changed something and didn't tell me. hmph.
Anyway. So.... About life since the blog went down.
I am still not entirely well... but, as of yet, the docotrs aren't going to do anything about it. I go see the surgeon on the 8th (Monday), but he probably won't do anything either. Meanwhile, I'm supposed to think good thoughts and concentrate on getting better, all while maintaining a decent gpa and getting 8-10 hours of sleep a night. Ha. Ha. Ha.
So I'm doing ok grade wise this semester... I'm a little behind, but catching up fast... I haven't missed a due date for anything yet *knocks on desk* And I got 100 on both my first quiz of the year, and my first programming assignment (the Python one)... which makes me very happy.
Having Chad in town is really nice... not that we see that much more of each other :-) His work schedule and my class schedule are at odds at the moment... but it's all good. It's interesting adjusting to having him back...
Dad is doing his last (we hope) round of chemo this week... we'll know by the end of this week or next week whether its working, and what they want to do next.
Underworld comes out in a couple weeks... I'm psyched about that :-) Chad's happy because there's a movie I actually want to go see... I'm happy becase it's all about vampires and stuff... everybody's happy.
I think I'm going on an interesting outing this weekend... minus Chad, who will prolly go home to Memphis. I also have to go home sometime this weekend (like, saturday or Sunday) so I'm home for my appt. on Monday. This will also entail missing all of my classes Monday... but may allow me to vote in Tuesday's election, like, not by absentee. That would be fun. Unless they decide to cut me open or something, I should be back for class on Tuesday (I don't have class until 11)... which is good, because Dr. Clifford will hate me forever if I miss class. And we don't want our teachers to hate us.
anyway.... I must run and do homework. Some more. For like, forever. Or at least until 7 or so... then I get to go to Wesley. And after Wesley.... more homework. Yay.
Dude... I have missed so many good quotes by not having my blog up. you have no idea. *sigh* I'll have to see if I can catch up. Today's quote:
This is my brain..... in part, at least.
