Tomorrow I get my wisdom teeth out, and this dentist wants to swap out a few of my fillings for some of a different material or something. Insurance pretty much covers it, so we're going for it. It's going to be an unpleasant experience.

Went to a couple parties with my mom's work friends today. They all seem like really nice people, and I think I did ok responding to them. Usually in positions like that I blank out because of all the people, but this time they just weren't talking about anything I cared about.

Jess and Dan and Steph and Gwen and Lainey are coming soon. I think that this apartment is big enough for all of us.

Using Ubuntu pretty exclusively lately. I'm thinking about removing windows from my Laptop altogether. Windows has a way of getting slower as time goes on, whether you install new software or not. My laptop just isn't cutting it. I think I'll try Skyping with Chowon in Linux once just to make sure it works, and then I'll begin the process of backing up my crap and removing Windows. The only thing I really used Windows exclusively for on this was Games, and since Windows is so slow now, That's been reduced just to pre-2004 games -- most of which I can use Dosbox or Wine for. Especially the ones that don't need a mouse, (like not Starcraft,) because playing mouse games on a netbook with no mouse sucks anyway. But now I have IDE's for both Java and C++ as well as 2D (supporting quadratic) and 3D graphing software on Ubuntu so I can even bring this to class and it will be useful. Next step: find something to deal with Matrices for me for Linear next semester. Maybe I can write something in Excel to do that....

Sometimes I wonder if I contact Chowon too much. I text her something like... 7/10 days... Idk, though. She's got a lot on her plate, and she's doing a lot of work just to come and see me. I want to make sure she doesn't forget that I appreciate it and that I'm thankful for her. Sometimes she makes it sound like she studies 14+ hours per day solid for days or weeks at a time. I know it's hard for her, and It makes me really really want to be there for her. I don't know what I'd do if I were there... Maybe just make her some tea and then get out of her way while she did work, or maybe make sure she took a break now and then so she didn't go crazy, or give her a shoulder massage to keep her relaxed, or go over flash cards, or maybe check some of her English work. I doubt I could grasp all of what she knows enough to be useful to her.

Hmm....It's about time for me to get to bed.
