Geekin' It Up

As of late, I feel a lot more like a nerd than ever before. (Quick clarification: I've been much more nerdier in the past, just I never actually thought myself as such in those scenarios. Now I do think that the things I am doing deserve to rank me in the "nerd" category.)

First of all, I've gotten back into my webcomic reading, IGN surfing, anime watching self once more (only took me a month to get back into it). Of course, ever since summer--after Europe mostly--I got off this trend and instead did many other things. However, as I have stated before, things have yet to go as I wanted them to so far here at Tech. That means that I've had a good amount of free time to sit around and do said activities. Buuuut, that should all change soon-ish (at least I hope). Wait, I need to keep things organized, more on the change later.

Another thing that has me feeling really, really geeky is the fact that I participated in a programming contest a few weeks ago. Even worse is that afterwards I was invited to join the programming team here... and accepted. Yup, let the laughs begin >.< *readies self*

Actually, I don't really care what anyone thinks about that. I have fun with it, plus the problems are so hard--not to mention the other team members so experienced--that I learn a bunch of new things. Compared to the problems we tackle at the programming team my computer science class is a breeze. Near no work for me. So, while it is the ultimate nerd-fest (ok, get this. When I said that Microsoft coded God once, everyone laughed... So creepy), in the end being on the team will dramatically help me, both knowledge-wise and resume-wise.

Hmmm, well that sorta covers the title of the post. What to talk about... oh, right! The "changes." Well, like always, I'm working on meeting new people here. That's the on-going change that, if successful, will lead to quite a happy time here at Tech. Other than that, today I finally got around to applying to yet another job. My first attempt was at the library right as school began, but they never called back. So this time I applied to the dining services who will, with some luck, call me and eventually hire me. As much as I've always dreaded the fact of working in the food industry, there are more important things at stake (and the fact that they pay $7.50 starting ain't too bad either)! It'd definitely be nifty if they hired me since 1. I'd be making money again (Wii here I come!) and 2. I would have less free time and thus would make good use of it--in the procrastinator's way.

What else? Well, unfortunately, I've yet to get around to posting anything else on dA. I have been ridiculously inspired at times (now being one of those times) and I have a few plans of things to do. I just have to find some free time and be efficient about it. But tomorrow I've got two tests so I'm off to study. Wish me luck!
