  Fink 

  I just downloaded fink to install the dependencies for a LaTeX editor. The thing has been downloading/compiling for hours…

  Well, it’s already 10pm and I’m not even 1/3 done with my data structures and algorithms homework. I also haven’t had a chance to work on the partner project that’s due on March 9th or the assignment from work that’s due tomorrow.

  I’m losing.

  4:01am: Ok, now I’m 1/3 done. The LaTeX editor finished compiling at 1:30 am. I had to install over 200 dependencies. I also got distracted by the UWCSE Google Group.

  Oh yeah, today was a win overall. Since I slept yesterday, I could answer the grad-level math questions that Dumas shot out today. He thought we’d be stuck on the first one, so I solved all three =P. Wind walking rocks. (A term I stole from some game to characterize the abuse of transcendentals.)

  Pulling a near-allnighter 

  4:27am

  It was funny really, In the wee-hours of the morning, the head TA for cse370 walks into the lab expecting one or two stragglers stuck on the infamous question 6.23 (with extension) problem.
  A second after he enters the room, a hand shoots up.

  “I just walked in the room and there’s a hand up already.”

  Most of the class was there.

  I finally finished.
  What a night.
  Can’t think.
  Must sleep.
  How do I get home?
