I, in my infinite wisdom, signed up for an extra three-hour shift at the end of my first three-hour shift at the labs today. So I'm working from 6pm to midnight.
First things first. The huge amount of homework Mr. Erickstad gave me to grade over break.
*grades calculus word problems busily*
*three hours pass*
*still grading calculus word problems busily*
And I thought I was going to be so bored here in the labs.
*continues grading for another 1.5 hours*
There. All done. And nobody got a perfect score. I would feel sorry for the little blokes, but it took me far too long to grade their homework.
As a side note, why is it that people find the littlest things to get all in a tizzy over? I think I'm going back to my 'most people don't like looking at big pictures' mindset. Because they don't. Not really. Most people I encounter spend far more time worrying over little things than the big ones. I suppose it's easier that way. I'm sure I think that way a lot myself.
But lately I've been forced to start thinking about the big picture (read: "My Future"; alternately replace with: "My Family's Future"), and so I get a trifle annoyed when I see people deciding to not talk to each other because they had a petty altercation.
Instead, everyone should just get along, join hands, and sing 'Kum-ba-yah'.
Or failing that, take their pent-up anger and frustration out on the local fire ants.
And now, after this brief mental detour, back to your regularly scheduled 'Diary of a Lab Rat'...
...having finished her mountain of grading, Ardith pressed on towards the Microprocessors take-home quiz. This involved much writing down of assembly code and hexadecimal addresses, and made her very happy. Which only goes to show how warped she really is.
*finishes take-home quiz*
Only 15 minutes left. I really hope it's not still raining outside.
And now that I've changed from first person to third person and back, it's time to end this post. Before I convince even myself that I'm crazy.
