Shades of Green

Getting out at 11:30...that was certainly interesting. I found myself with a lot more time to kill at home then I expected. I didn't have enough time to go out and do something with anyone, so I did what I always do: play videogames. To anyone who doesn't play videogames, you suck. Seriously. How can you not find a little bit of time in your life to take some of the stress off your mind and play a videogame? Videogames are for kids, you say? Well, that's part of the appeal. Finding that inner child inside yourself as you blast monsters into oblivion. What did I play? I played another classic: Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link.

Job Interview: 15 minutes long, didn't really do much. I just answered a bunch of questions dealing with work ethics, my work background, morality, challenges, how I'd work in a team, etc. Do I get to work at Target? I don't know yet, but I'm starting to question my choice...There were some pretty wierd people there....Hehe, but a lot of normal people too. I'm sure they are all nice people once I get to know them.

The Mole: Some of you may remember my obsession with The Amazing Race back when it was on. Well, get ready to deal with another one, because The Mole is back on the air. This is seriously one of the slickest shows I've seen in a long time. Mystery, intrigue, suspense, drama, this show's got it all. The basic premise of this show is that a team of 14 people are working together to add money to a pot by completing vairous tasks and games. The catch? One of them is actually a double agent trying to sabotage the rest of the team. The players must try their best to complete tasks and thwart the mole while trying to figure out who exactly the mole is. This is important, because at the end of each round (which lasts a few days), each player must take a quiz about how much they know about who the mole is. Whoever knows the least about the mole is eliminated from the game. Pretty devious, huh? LIke The Amazing Race, I like this game because politics really has little to do with it. How far you get in the game is based on how well you play the game, not how well you get along with other people, like in Surivivor. In Survivior, I can usually tell you who's getting kicked out either halfway through the show or after the immunity challenge. In The Mole and The Amazing Race (which returns this fall!), you can never tell until the elimination actually takes place. It' s quite ingenious and intiguing enough to make me want more. If I could go on a reality show, it would be one of these two.

Stat Final: I'm pretty sure that the chi-squared test had nothing to do with the butterfly problem. Chi-squared tests have to do with expected counts, and we really have no expected counts since we are doing an experiment. We can't expect a certain group of butterflies to survive better if we don't have any pre-existing data.

Hmmm....I'm starting to feel a little eased now, but at the same time I'm more stressed than ever. Stat final and Authors presentation are gone, but I've still got chem final/lab, spanish (my grade is teetering on an edge), pre-calc (shouldn't be too bad), and Spoden (which could go any which way, and I really need to get moving on that extra credit). Should I go to TKD tomorrow? I really should, since I haven't gone in a week, but I'm always tired afterwards...What to do.....What to do.....

Heat: IT'S FUCKING HOT~!!!! WHAT HAPPENED?????

Me almost dying: As a result from the heat, I turned on the AC. About 15 mintues later, I smell smoke. Stoves are off, all lights are off...What's going on? Could it be the AC/Heater? I turn it off, but it doesn't stop running. I'm starting to feel a little faint, so I open windows. I stay in the apartment for about another 10 mintues before I realize it's not turning off. I go to turn it off from the source. that works, but it still smells like smoke. Management says they'll come tomorrow to look at it, but what the hell happened? I'm scared....I hate this place....I miss Palm Lake....
