Today was the special Olympics. There were some clouds early in the day, and that was nice, but those didn't last all day. I had to focus to not cop an attitude, but I think I did a good job of that.

This week has been super rough. It started with the prob/stat test that I thought was a quiz on Monday.. Monday night I studied Linear Algebra 'till late. Then on Tuesday I had the thing at the Boys and Girls club, got back exhausted: no studying.

Wednesday I spent way too long on an extra credit assignment in the labs, turns out I needed my textbook, so I ran back to the room to finish the assignment in my room, but my excel doesn't have the plugins it needs. I finished the assignment using just the textual programming, without the results. Then I found out it was actually due last week... how'd I miss that?

Thursday I busted my butt trying to finish assignments due Friday and to review all the material for my Friday classes so I'd know what questions to ask.

Friday I had back-to-back meetings with profs, and during my free time before that I reviewed almost all of the material I have for prob/stat to make my notes for the final. As a result of those meetings I couldn't make it to the B&G club.

Friday night Chowon and I had that missed meeting, and I stayed up a bit later to wait for her contact -- the "30 minutes" -- I didn't get ahold of her until an hour later, and by then it was about 2am and I needed to wake at 5, so we got to talk for like 2 minutes and it was just on the phone.

I left for the Spec Olympics at ~6am and returned at ~5pm. I started studying right when I got back, went to dinner, and didn't really take a break until 9pm. I couldn't focus anymore because I really wanted to talk to Chowon, so I went skateboarding with box for an hour or two, waiting for my meeting with Chowon.

As I write this, I still haven't really cleaned up. I'm still dirty and sweaty from 'volunteering' because I wanted to get right to work, and my break was spent trying to clear my head.

Chowon begins our conversation by hurriedly telling me that we can't talk much today -- we didn't get to talk on video. I feel like I haven't had a conversation with her in good-quality video-Skype in ages.

This week has not been enjoyable for me. I've had an hour break here and there, but nothing that fulfills me.

Oh... and to top it off, it turns out AO has voted to reject me for staying in the house during the summer, and they emailed Lehman about it, but didn't send me anything about it. Lehman called me during the Spec Olympics to ask me about a meeting with him to discuss housing payments. I find out 3 days after the email to Lehman that I could have spent the past 3 days finding alternative housing. Why? Because they don't have the guts to tell me themselves? I'm not even gonna get into everything wrong with this picture.
