Today was, for the most part, totally consumed by my graphics assignment. I’m very fed up with my partner doing stupid things I have to try and correlate into the source code, and then just to make me feel better I spent hours looking at this thing trying to get what I thought was a relatively simple thing to work… I can’t work out if I’m just totally not getting it, or I just can’t program in C or understand the hierarchy properly.

Other than that, today I did get some groceries, went to Graphics class and had a brief meeting with the financial dude at Schmitz to talk about the various break downs of where the rent comes from, which was more an exercise in curiosity than anything else.

I hate getting to the end of the day and knowing I felt so much better earlier in the day. This assignment is like banging my head against a brick wall, only worse – these bricks are made of Stupidity Creating Vortexes.

Voritices? Nevermind.

I generally felt pretty bad at the end of the day, and couldn’t get to sleep for quite a while. One thing that really struck me is that because I don’t know anyone, there’s no one I can touch. For anyone that knows me, knows I like to touch people – give them a hug, a pat of the back, whatever. Mostly in the hugs department, actually. Since that’s also a big part of my communication and how I operate, I’m finding it really unnerving not having any of that. I mean, that kind of thing has to be done with people who are comfortable with it (on both sides) and so on, but I haven’t really met anyone who I know is like that. Ah well.
