After some mishaps and misunderstanding I finally registered for Physics. I will be at UB North Campus (there are prlly few places i rather not be at) on MWF from 11-1150 and Thursday at 830. I meant to sign up for Tuesday but I messed up and now it is full. I have to go get my id, parking permit and my UB account on Friday. How am I supposed to find my way around. I gave myself an hour from when I leave work and have to get there on my first day is that enough time. My class is in Cooke121. Wish me luck...i am gonna feel really old and dumb. I haven't taken math/science class in like 5 years so Physics for Engineers should be real great!

I Finally Did It01/08/2007 22:05 #37596
Nothing Sadder.....than a young person's funeral. (e:amanda)'s brother's funeral was today. It was soooo sad. I have never been to a young person's funeral before. It is so differently sad. Though I never really knew him, it was still incredibly sad. Seeing amanda and her family was heartbreaking. Her grandparents seemed soo distraugh. Who ever imagines burying their grandkids? I don't know how you ever recoup after something like that.

Funerals are sad enough as they are. Not sure if they or wakes are worse it all depepends on the way the funeral and wakes are. But when it is someone burring there kid or grandkid it is even worse. It just goes against nature really and most parents can't handle it cause (we assume) that are kids will watch us die and not the other way around. Ok I don't even know the person and I'm thinking about some I knew who this happend to and am getting down so time to stop writting.

yeah Mike ... young people's funerals and wakes are so awful. Lauren's wake was the most awful thing I've ever experienced in my whole life. In a way I think the wake is worse, because all people do is stand around crying and crying so much. A funeral can at least be comforting in some ways. But even so, it is so devastating when it is someone young. It's good that you were there for Amanda.

Condolences(e:amanda)'s brother andrew died today. He's only like 26. He has been sick for a while so it wasn't completely surprising but still utterly horrible. I can't even imagine what her and her family must be going through. He is her only sibling. I can't even imagine if (e:paul) died. It seriously leaves me speechless. I feel so bad for them. He has been sick for a while though so maybe it is better but still it is horrible. This doesn't really make sense but it just I don't know, I felt like writing about it but don't really know what to say.

Wow that is so sad. I have an idea. Let's just make a pact that we never die.

Spot hot chocolate makes me...sick. I completely forgot how sick it makes me. I remember now why I stopped drinking it. It makes me completely sick to my stomach in the worst way. And trust me I can deal with stomach aches but these are way worse!!!
We saw Children of Men tongiht. It was good but really draining. LIke I felt like I ran a marathon when I got out. Like so suspenseful but also emotionally drianing with so much ups and downs, well mostly downs. But it was really good. I kinda want to read the book becuase i wonder if there is more detail about what happened in the world to make it like it was. The movie leaves most of that out.

Sick For the New YearSo as yo ucan tell by the lack of pictures of me at this years party (and all of them fully dressed) I was not feeling so well this New Year's Eve. I got sick while at work (sore throat, shaking, cold sweating, headache, the works) I took a whole bunch of pills determined to party no matter what. After a few drinks though,the sickness returned and I laid down upstairs in the smoking room never to get up again til like 6am. I think I barely made it til 1am not sure really though. It was quite sad but I did enjoy myself until tha tpint.
I especially want to thank my (e:secretsanta) for an awesome gift. I love the scrapbooking stuff. I can't wait to start making one. I have seriuosly been wanting to start scrapbooking for a long time and now I have no excuse not to. I am gonna make a 2007 (e:stirp) scrapbook and will show my results at next years new years eve party.
New years day was a complete bust. I never got dressed or out of bed for the whole day cuz I was feeling so sick. Today I am somewhat better but luckily I only work inthe morning and night and had the afternoon off to take my dad to the docrtors for surgery and I could rest then>
HOpefully I will be better soon. And then I am ready to party it up super dupa style. Whose with mE?

mike this has nothing to do with anything you posted, but i keep forgetting to ask you if you have heard the musical Avenue Q. It won Best Musical in like 2005. I was listening to some of it and I think you would like it a lot. Just wanted to tell you that before I forget again. Smooch.
holy crap, i'll pray for you guys. it's going to be tough.
Hooray for you, Mike! This is a big step and I'm really proud of you. Don't worry to much about how hard the course is, you just may not be able to do your semester-long projects at 2am before they are due. Other than that, smartie, this will be a breeze. Congrats! (Remember me when you are supa dupa rich)
I second that lilho. Congratulations mikey
im really proud of you!
Yay!!! I was worried I was going to be all alone. I am there the same days...MWRF...just great that one stinking class takes up 4 days and 7 hours of our life each week. And we have to take 2 for the next 2 semesters. I am actually there earlier than you on all days. 9 on MWF and friggin 7 on R. Blahhhh...
I know it's scary, confusing, intimidating... and so many more frightening things.
But the brave don't sit on the sidelines. The brave are scared and do it anyway.
Good Luck, Mike! I wish you all sorts of mathy brain activities!!
Rumor is that you are a smart fella, so don't worry so much - just apply yourself and you'll be fine!
I never commuted - but the times where I was too lazy or in a hurry I'd take my car to a class rather than the buses. Parking is atrocious at that campus.
I remember that being a fairly tough class.
let me know if i can help you at any point in there
