On the first week of the semestre...

[ Previous | Index | Next ]

One day, there was Monday, the 9th day of February located in the year 2026. How long into the night I remained awake? Until I finish writing an article that is. Until I watch all existing YouTube videos that is. They're finches, coppers, let's plays from Minecraft Alpha times, Jungle Sapling Problem, pianos, and how to actually beat this game + get an endless day. After that it became obvious: there's nothing really interesting in the recommendations right now, and if I want to have enough time to pack bags, I ought to wake up about 6 o'clock. Mind you, I speak 24 clocks here, please remember that. But I speak 12 clocks just fine too.

Once the alarm went AAAAAAAA at 6 o'clock, adding 30 more minutes to feel more awake, I woke up and just packed bags. Luckily I ended up only forgetting a piece of wrap, but frankly I didn't remember them not a single time so far. Please don't question why! Fast forward I was in the (Jitney|Taxi collectif|taxibus|busik) 30 minutes ahead, and we departed soon enough. The voyage lasted about only 4 hours. There were just a few messages but otherwise nothing really happened. From there I went straight ahead to the house... Something I shouldn't have done I guess. There the whole day was spent mediatively digging a large, deep hole. Digging while watching div_y video series on trying to get rid of the lag machine I just found. WOW! It's a film by its length, and it's amazing! And it all while eating pastries that were bundled here.

But the house owner absolutely didn't welcome me here. He was very mad really for my sudden appearance. Well, yeah, may not appear without notice that is. I was assuming my parents would also notify him of me going, but I guess I must drop this mindset. Perhaps, didn't I tell that I'm going for a week? I certainly did. Anyway, people are really eager to make you do things for that matter. An unclean toilet is too critical for my calm.

It doen't help that this was a completely silent day. Despite saying to try to reply, and about 4 messages in total through the day, there was nothing heard back. I dunno. Tiredness makes it not worth it I see. T_T

Needless to say I ended up very devastated. I ended up just watching div_y videos while Minecraft was hung up until it was 2 o'clock. The videos were very funny, really. Anyway, 2 + 7½ hours of sleep = 9½, to which I lated added another ½ hours because I kept watching videos for about this long.

It takes about 20 minutes to get to the university on the bus. It can take up to 20 more minutes waiting for a bus to arrive to the station. Then it takes another 20 minutes to get clothed up and on the station. Therefore you better get started 1 hour ahead if you don't want to be late. Clothing up might not be a big issue, but the flat is located down the hill, so getting there implies climbing it, which does take stamina especially if you're me. If the roads are inevitably jammed, the voyage may take just less than what it'd take by foot, eg. 1 hour. So you're gonna ultimately want to get ready 2 hours ahead.

So did I get two hours ahead today? The first class was on 11:50, and it's sports... Of course! I woke up super slowly, eventually getting to eat the last bundle of chicken then collecting items for the backpack. Eventually I got to the destination about 20 minutes later, and there I learned one truth: I do, in fact, can't attend if I'm late unless I get the teacher to take me. Just like I assumed. Well, I'm not going to distract them by my late presense, just went to the main building and began writing this very page until it was time for another class.

Speaking of, this was the most attended class at 1601 I've seen so far. (While not long ago I had some of the least attended) It was about how Russia™ works. The first while we were trying to overcome being out of disk storage by deleting temporary files, until we decided to convert a powerpoint into a portable document. We then watched an informative movie, and wrote what standard and non-standard symbols this civilisation has, and what does it signifies for you. I answered to the last one honestly.

But hopefully not in English. This was the next class to go. And it went under a different room though still the one from a computer class. We were talking about how we spent the week and then did some tasks learning new-new words about aging. So, for what can I say in English: I wanna go through the entire universe and adjust the colour of all monitors in there! Like what's wrong with these LGs? They all look violet! I promptly changed colours on the 8th unit to 18, 30, and 8, and... Well, gotta sit at all the other units each time also setting them so. (Why I haven't been doing this yet?)

Then it was over. Bought a roll. Ate a roll. Sat in the bus for one and a half an hour because of city-wide traffic jams. And I'm back here. Eating pastries and patroling the server for any human life. And watching YouTube. And browsing W3C's obscure pages. And, inevitably, no signal whatsoever. It's actually sad. How can you hate a person you liked so much overnight? I dunno, so I can't find a hatred to cut ties altogether. He'd show up and grant a bit of joy for a moment then quickly leave me alone. I just can't think. I don't know. I probably have to do it. After all it only affects me really, no not him.

And by the way, there's a lot of intersting, historic, obscure stuff on W3C web site. Will I record a video about this? At least write a web page...

At the end, unbelievably I forgot to lock the door again. Everybody has got a different policy on everything and I just can't keep up with everything. Ehhhhhh just kill me. Why I can't just jump off the window really? OH there's an idea I haven't realised. The society won't care about this shit though so why even bother with it. Well, Wednesday has its first class at 8:30, therefore I ought to sleep.

*sleeps* *keeps browsing YouTube until 1 o'clock* *eventually sleeps*

Redesign your own logo. W3C already did so!

The alarm was set to wake me up at 7:08, just to get up and immediately go since I didn't have anything to eat prepared.

Wake up now? (Y/N) N, im very sleepy *postpones*
Wake up now? (Y/N) N, ok im not rushing here *postpones*
Wake up now? (Y/N) N, maybe ill sleep a bit more *postpones*
Wake up now? (Y/N) N, imma let him go first *postpones*
Wake up now? (Y/N) N, only a few more minutes *postpones*
Wake up now? (Y/N) Y, ok im up.

As said, I just got up, dressed up, and went outside suuuuuuper slowly. As I got to the bus stop there was some bus that departed when I was only about to come to cross the road. Did I saw a 97 while I was waiting? Yeah, they do go by then.

What to say about the first class that I was approximately 25 minutes late to? This guy seemed like he really wanted to teach Blender! :3 This first lesson was just about navigating the world and creating objects as well as manipulating them. Moving, rotating, scaling; duplicating, organizing and colouring for view. Was I listening carefully? Well, sort of just as much as my late collegue who sat besides who I saw also activated quad view just as I did. >w< Should've dealt with Blender before too… Well, really, he had to say so much he had to take a few extra minutes.

After that we had discrete math. This Wednesday we were taught how to use domino effect to sequentally solve one problem after another. I couldn't grasp what it all was about. Was it

E  = E    + n
 n    n-1

and what is

     n(n-1)
n = --------
        2

Discrete maths ended, but then... UHHHHHHHHH! Non-discrete maths! Thankfully no more webinars, however instead we're confronting full-blown stereotypic strict university teacher in class. The task is to write down as much as your hand will allow about pushing the formulae to the extremes. No phones... Heck no water! Well, I survived that day, for the better. Now, as the cafe doesn't process cards today, I went to the canteen and pulled something cheap there. And at that point, I just called a plead for return...

And, lacking anything better to do outside, went back. So far so far, didn't disappear yet. So I can act normal for the time being. That said, I fell for a nap, after which tried to cook cutlets and pasta (which I previously referred to as rigatonies), and then played more Minecraft: made stairs down to the bedrock. Until the Thursday.

It simply was English where we did tasks and then were talking to each other in English. Except I was messing with Blender 5 also. We'll have to write what we learned about the partner for the next lesson. oop. And then practiced discrete math. (I completed only one task) And then heard nothing useful on a meeting. Wow! I ended up with a picture of a plane that's turns out not going to pass so rip.

The Fridays are getting better now. It began with govermental foundations practice that I managed to just sit through, and then the same on math analysis. The rest of the days was spent digging in Minecraft, and this wasn't without its results — 8 diamonds found! Buuuuuuut I also had an antenna pointing at somebody's channel all the time, and it never received a signal.

And then Saturday was really simple. ofc I kept playing, but for the day, I wanted to visit some people. They said they had issues with the disk drive not operating and suspected device drivers being an issue. Theoretically, this's the knid of device to not require any special device drivers. It's an optical disk drive, what to take from them? I wanted to take a look at it myself. So, I go, midway take a look around a literal network of bus stops all sharing the same name, and I eventually take one to my destination stop to arrive approxamately at 15:07. Unfortunately he, who tried to deal with it, has been gone, and for a while! I had to pass this time somehow. And I decided to do that by mixing colours in Minecraft, yay! Minecraft 24/7!

I had discovered the following. Red roses, yellow flowers, green cactuses and lapis lazuri make up R, Y, G, and B respectively, which includes both RYB and RGB which are both pretty natural actually, given RYB was led to by poor availability of better dyes back in the Reinnesance days, and the latter being the standard computer colour model. Red and yellow make orange. Bone meal makes lighter versions of dyes: pink, nothing, lime and light blue also respectively. Blue and green make cyan. Black and white make gray, gray and white make brighter gray. Pink and purple make magenta. Beans are available elsewhere. That is it, I turned it off after that to conserve energy, and instead resumed playback of Zootopia that they started to watch but then ended up switching elsewhere. (they switched back because of that). Was it worth it? Yeah. At the end he came back, I asked about drives and got to connect it. It turned out to work with my laptop. So I can brush off the whole 'faulty device' thing. Perhaps I'm too late to make a difference however, they already got another drive. And funny thing, I connected both of them and they both happen to have one or another disk in them. Don't wonder where's the disk! x3

Anyways he was gone again already, so I decided to go home since it was getting late. I was just looking at buses reading out where they go. Oh, this one '98д' is going to where I need to- nevermind, it's already moving on. Another bus driver just departed its passengers on this stop and ended its service here also turning off the lights. Seeing this, I assumed to not wait for another better bus anymore since they're unlikely to come anymore, and go an old route instead. An old 1½ hour long route, at which I almost lost a good night, even. I'm not sensing notifications while waiting outside for a reason I'm yet to sense. Ehh. And only after that did I noticed it was valentines… I decided to build a few roads in my world by then, but i was getting sick of exploding creepers that I can't dodge reliably, in part because I can't reliably get the character to RUN, whether thanks to poor keyboard or long latency. I just logged out of frustration and decided to sleep. somehow.

So I simply slept WELL and ended up in Sunday. The concept of this Sunday has been fuzzy for me. I wasn't even sure about messaging anyone this Sunday. My mind is so fuzzy! Is this because I only play Minecraft and watch YouTube? Oh yeaaaah, I'm pretty sure it's this. You don't need to have your brain disordered in order to lack discipline. I ultimately decided it's important enough to hit up during breakfast, and only on breakfast rather than when still in bed. Well, that's OK. Soon into the day I was using up my huge reserve of bones to grow and cut and grow and cut and so on a real lot of birches and trees. I ended up with 8 stacks of oak and birth logs each. At the end, I knew there was something left from yesterday, so I made another visit.

This one was even later. So late I could just wait a bit more and go on in 97 as it was about to run soon enough at that point. But no, I took a different to end up on that network towards which I just reconsidered. So I was waiting for either 97 or 4 or something to arrive... And both 82 and 97 arrived at the same time. But 82 was filled, so into 97 I go! Eventually I arrive.

So, did you know DVDs can be double layer and hold 8,5 GB of data? They accidentally had one, and wanted to burn a few movies on it, so they wondered what software would let them do so. Well, I thought they'd like to have some free DVD Video authoring software, so I found 'DVDStyler' and just pointed at it. Would've it been good but, well, they didn't really need to make menus which it was about. Just write movies so it fit. Its interface easily confused him (menus and a few buttons where some have the same name doesn't help their windiness at all), went to install other software, went through the trouble of getting the software uninstalled, and then ended up sleeping all while I was putting together a disk of some random movie also sorted into episodes in that program. Anything, the conversion took a while (and could've been avoided, to be honest). At the end, I tried to watch the disk but it seems it goes bad midway? Well ok then. I ended this all with a dinner, and then returned by taxi rather than anything else. Interestingly, the one to make a rather quick responce appeared from a driver from a 'comfy' tariff. Well be it so then.

At this point we're getting to the present, where I'm writing here for the first time since Wednesday also after generating more DVD data, this time a collection of various videos. Accidentally the player hung midway again. huh ._. Right now I'm just vibing to Colin McRae Rally 2 music. So I'll upload this file and rest in sleep once again. This was the 7th week, it's now time for the eighth one…
