Slept for ages, which I’m not entirely sure is a good thing. I mean, I feel a lot better for it, but it isn’t likely to help my sleep patterns any. I got up and ran through all the usual ‘Monday morning’ type emails from around the university, as well as a few from my regular email. I went out and posted off the main part of my BNZ Scholarship application (had a bit of a mission trying to find the post office… the one I looked up apparently doesn’t exist) and grabbed a burrito. The one time I forget my student ID, the guy at the counter is one of the hard asses that doesn’t give you student discount unless you have it, despite my going in there every week. Ah well, I guess that balances out the free upgrade I got from them the other day.

I had some distressing emails today. A few regarding a bunch of work stuff which I thought was going ok but isn’t. As well as some reminders that I’m behind on a bunch of other things. I knew I was behind, which just makes me feel kinda crap, really. Especially with everything that I need to get done this week, I just didn’t need that right now. However, life doesn’t seem to give me the option of saying “No, I don’t want to deal with you just now, wait until I’m ready” no matter how much I would like it to sometimes.

I did a couple of minor work things and some emails to appease them, but all in all I’m behind because I have too much on my plate and I know it.

I spent the rest of today working on my graphics assignment trying to write a particle engine. Since I thought I was going to get some assistance from Rob on this (or at least guidelines), this is taking me a bit longer than I would have hoped. It still renders like a piece of crap, but the functionality inside is looking pretty cool. ^^; The end result of today’s work is that I have bombs being dropped, which uses a gravity constant and the movement of the ship to determine the path of the bomb. No external forces (like wind) or impact forces/effects just yet.

Tomorrow and the next day are the ‘visit days’ for the department, where a bunch of prospective graduate students come in and the department woos them into coming to UW. I’m not entirely sure what role I’m playing, or even if I’m supposed to go to any of the events. We’ll see.
