[busy signaL]
[Friday, December 10, 2004]
i'm feeling both hungry and full right now. must be, as paco said, a sense of accomplishment because our term project's up and running. the thought of emotions having physical manifestations is very intriguing. or maybe i've just been reading too much about psychosomatics [genpsyc research paper, due in three hours].
i woke up at four to type out the user manual [and take shiny shiny screenshots]. it was kinda cold so pretty soon i had to run off to the cr. i was already seated when i realized that there wasn't any tissue paper on-hand, only *three* empty cardboard rolls. hey, don't knock it - having no tissue paper is one of life's biggest tragedies; almost as bad as having one-ply tissue paper. anyway, as if that wasn't enough, there's a 50% chance that i used someone else's toothbrush this morning. my sister replaced mine last night and i was in too much of a hurry this morning to double-check if i'd grabbed the right one. it felt new, anyway.
paco and i were at the bicutan interchange when i realized that i'd left my id at home. i usually leave them in my pants [forgive me if i wear them more than once before having them washed] and since i'd donned a pair of slacks for our defense today, it wasn't in them. so i hoofed it back home and took a taxi to school since i'd already used up my two allotted 'left ids'. 200 pesos shot to hell.
after the defense, my bag was missing. rogi said he thought that the discipline officers had hauled it away [yes, they actually do that at our college] and i'd be getting a minor offense*. that would've been the ultimate irony, considering that the whole id fiasco i went through was just to avoid getting such an offense for entering campus without an id. but fortunately or unfortunately, my bag was in pogz' locker. ah, such caring friends.
and speaking of the defense, ms ethel said that the software wasn't user-friendly enough. my take is, if you're incompetent, you shouldn't be anywhere near a computer in the first place. not that i took it personally or anything. in fact, i plan to revise the software aligned to her suggestions. yes, i know that there's no point in doing so since she's not requiring a revision or even going to look twice at it, but i am a man of compulsion, after all.
or maybe i really am a 'java boy'.
