htothehI think my problem is that I think too much. The thing I'm currently cogitating on I've thought around in circles and back. I joke that my brain is powered by hamster wheel; that seems reasonably accurate.
We moved my bro into Duke today. He was out at a pre-orientation thing, what they call Project Wild. Basically it's Pre-O on steroids--a two week program, ten days of which are hiking, and another two involving no possibility of shower. Hard core. Also really, really stinky. Like, even I noticed, and my sense of smell is not very good.
But then he showered, so it was all good. His roommate seems like a nice kid. I think they'll get along fine. I ended up buying a pair of earrings at the dinner thing they had, since it was a picnic involving good bluegrass and a few local artists with jewelry and stuff. Five-dollar earrings! Cannot pass up! And they're pretty and vaguely chainmail-like...
I think I'm going to have to talk to Prof. Dodds or Ran about the grutoring thing. I just haven't done that much of the Python we were assigned, and I'm not sure how much I'm going to get through this week. I hate trying to teach myself things without anyone else to bounce things off of. Dad suggested that I take my homework to his work, where maybe some Java people could take a look, but when I'm positive that the problem is that I, like, switched a couple of lines or something, I really, really don't want to take up anyone's time.
Shitty, shitty week. I haven't even started packing. I'm leaving in five days.
