Tests, Anyone?

Next few weeks are going to be a bit ...busy...

Monday: Graph Theory Midterm II, part I; meeting
Tuesday: Computer Systems Miderm, International Organizations Midterm; meeting
Wednesday: Graph Theory Midterm II, part II
Friday: Move-on for Carnival
Saturday: Coordinator shift for carnival
Tuesday: Running a Social Event
Wednesday: Meeting(s)
Thursday: Carnival
Friday: Carnival
Saturday: Carnival, coordinator shift
Sunday: Tear Down
Monday: Homework Due
Tuesday: Malloc lab due (by malloc lab I mean...implementing malloc in a non-stupid fashion)

None of that's too bad, I just need to find a few days to sit down and get malloc done. It's probably going to be right in the middle of Carnival, which kind of sucks, but at least I'll have a few solid days sans classes. And this weekend I need to study a LOT; I did a lot worse than I should have on the previous computer systems and graph theory midterms, so the pressure is on... I also need to write a resume (which I've been completely neglegent in doing) and get a transcript into my faculty mentor soon so I can hopefully do research for him next year.

On another topic, I've been learning a lot recently about people and what motivates them, and what they do to derive a sense of personal significance from life. There are so many different ways to approach life; truly understanding someone involves understanding the way they choose to do so. I think loving someone involves being comfortable with and supporting the way they do so, and perhaps supplanting it. It's so easy to lose sight of the fact that emotional currency for one person comes across as something completely different to another; I do also think that there are some invalid (or at least unhealthy) forms of emotional currency. Perhaps it's not fair to make values judgments like that, but it's who I am.
