I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so pass�. But today, If you think that I don't know about depression and emotional pain, you're insane. And you're a fool who hasn't paid attention to a word that I say. In a way, I can't help but feel responsible, I always knew that you were insane... With your pain. But I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so pass�. Heroin is so pass�. You never thought you'd get addicted, Just be cooler in an obvious way. I could say, shouldn't you have got a couple piercings and decided maybe that you were gay? In a way, I can't help but feel responsible, I always knew that you were insane... With your pain. But I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so pass�.
Heroin is so pass�.

Ah the first day of classes back at school...

I feel pretty confident about this semester already. I think that ece210 and ece313 are going to be the obvious chalenges but they don't look like they are going to be impossible. So far in ece210 I know it's going to be a course on signal processesing which in a nutshell means playing with radio waves until you get what you want out of them. We went through, briefly, the workings of a radio (not really news to me) and then talked about how we were going to break it up and explain mathmatically, and physically how and why everything worked the way it worked. I tihnk this should be an entertaining course if nothing else. Ece313 is going to be a class on probability theory which means learning why saying "flipping a coin will result in heads half the time" works, and all the implications expressed by said statement. Today we talked about gambling, odds, definitions of terms, etc. etc. all the usual stuff. My preofessor seems pretty cool and laid back, and even jokes a bit, so maybe that won't be as bad as I initially thought. The only thing peculier is that there are only about a dozen people in that class, that might tell you something. So far with music I have no idea where this class is going, cause all we did today was listen to a bunch of random stuff from god knows where and she asked us if we felt it was music, and then she told us why we were wrong. The textbook came with some music cds and some of the assignments are "listen to tracks 1,2,3 on cd 1" or something along those lines, and I almost burst out laughing given this class came immediately following my two ece classes. Now, when I say that I'm not ripping on music majors (that will come later in the semester :P) It was just such a shock in material change that I thought it was funny that I be sitting there, listening to clips of music, when what I was thinking about was how well the room was acustically designed, and the inordinate amount of static and distortion the speakers were putting out. But then that's just me. Physics I'll have tomorrow so I can judge it then, but for now I'm done around noon, not bad.

Oh yes, and today was a very beautiful day, only a slight breeze and it was around 45�, so my 300 mile hike out to the music building and back wansn't too bad.

Hans got a new Sony Vega tv and the fact that it is such better quality poses us with a problem, somewhere in our system there is a ground loop because we get this fucking line scroling up the screen. We narrowed it down to the cable line and we think that it is most likely the cable company's fault so sometime today I'll prolly run to radioshack and pick up an isolator to take care of that. Anyway, now I'm being summoned to play halo so duty calls.
