Chair

My roommate accidently broke my chair. It was a good chair. I was sad to see it go.

Classes

Sometimes I forget what classes I'm taking in the fall, so I'm going to post them here for future reference.

Intro Differential Equations - MATH 385 11:00 am - 11:50 am MWF Henry Administration Bldg 156
Actuarial Theory I - MATH 471 3:00 pm - 3:50 pm R Altgeld Hall 341
Actuarial Theory I - MATH 471 12:00 pm - 12:50 pm MWF Lincoln Hall 106
Actuarial Risk Theory - MATH 476 9:00 am - 10:20 am TR Architecture Building 302

I'll probably try and switch the Thursday discussion section to 4:00 pm instead of 3:00 pm. That way I can work at State Farm from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm on Thursday and 11:00 am to 5:00 pm on Tuesday. I think that's all the class info I wanted to have a reference to. I should really put this on my website instead. I was thinking about putting my bookmarked websites on my own website, that way I could quickly go to all the places I need even if I'm at another computer. Ah well, what's done is done.

Here's a picture of me and a co-worker at the park. I have a dumb smile, but it's a smile all the same. Good times, ... humid and good times.

Volleyball

Yesterday we played volleyball. It was way too hot to play volleyball. Why did we play volleyball you ask? It all started about a week ago.

It was a nice cool summer day and I was busily working at the Gladiator Arena. It was thursday and I had to get the lions really angry for tomorrow night's fight. The lions were a fierce and dangerous match for most, but not for someone with strength and valor such as mine. As I fearlessly ... I think I'm getting off topic. A messenger came with word from Gladiator management.

On July 25th, the interns for the Bloomington Gladiator Arena will be visiting us here in champaign. They will arrive at 11:00. At 11:30 we will have lunch at Papa Del's, after which we will be playing volleyball at hessel park. Bring clothes to change into.

No one would have known how torturously hot it would be the following week. Well, next week came, like next week always does, and I think I almost dehydrated. Three bottled waters were no match for the blistering heat that day. I was left dizzy and fatigued. Plagued with a mind-numbing headache, I desparately tried to carry on. Only time would heal these near fatal wounds.

I'm exaggerating a little bit, I don't really work with lions.

Good times

I try not to spend money on sunday...

scottch1980: I always forget to get food to eat on sunday.
JimmyKidsRule: That's rough.
JimmyKidsRule: This summer I've slipped into a seriously bad 2 hour eating schedule. Where not only do I need to eat every 2 hours but I need like a meal every 2 hours. I am taking in so many calories a day you'd think I would be doubling in seize every week... yet I remain the same. My metabolism is somekind of energy destroying monster.
scottch1980: My room mate's a little messy. He has a tough time remembering to clean up his stuff, so the kitchen is usually messy. I usually just get fast food. But then sunday comes, and I don't have anything. ... energy destorying monster huh? Don't let the military get a hold of you. Energy dependent countries, (or what I like to call, countries) would be done for.
JimmyKidsRule: Or what I like to call countries lol
scottch1980: I think i could make speghetti, but I think all the pots are dirty.
JimmyKidsRule: You could just eat it dry and then drink some boiling water.
scottch1980: lol hahahahahahhah
scottch1980: hah haa haa hoo hoo
scottch1980: hee hee
JimmyKidsRule: No pots to boil water though... might need to drink some water and swallow some matches?
scottch1980: aaaaaah...
scottch1980: hahhahahahhaahhaa
JimmyKidsRule: Ok calm down
scottch1980: swallow some matches..
scottch1980: hee hee .... aahhhhhh.
scottch1980: I'm just going to sit in the oven.
JimmyKidsRule: Oh that's not a bad idea either.
JimmyKidsRule: LOL or... you could just take a bowl of noodles and water and go sit in a sauna until they are done.
JimmyKidsRule: Or just go sit in a hot tub with some noodles.
scottch1980: I bet the hot tub thing would really impress the ladies.
scottch1980: then when the speghetti is done, bam! I already ate it.
JimmyKidsRule: Oh yeah... it's a step beyond dinner and a movie. It's dinner in a relaxing tub.
JimmyKidsRule: Ha
scottch1980: some day, dan, some day.
JimmyKidsRule: That's for sure.
scottch1980: Can I post this on my blog?
JimmyKidsRule: Sure

The best meeting I've been to in a while.

Meetings with the Property and Casualty Actuarial Department are pretty cool when you get to see all the new high tech cars that are coming out soon. I was pretty amazed. It's good to know, though, that when you're driving your new 2006 Corvette, there's dozens of microprocessors trying to make you safer when you're driving three times as fast as you probably should be. Even the muffler is computerized. http://www.chevrolet.com/corvettez06/

The Society of Actuaries

I scored an 8 on Exam FM. I'm glad that's behind me. I'm twice the Actuary I used to be. Watch out world.

Day 30 or so. 

I'd recommend it to a friend...

War of the Worlds. It's a pretty cool movie. I always think it's good for us to be prepared for things like that.

Mario Kart Double Dash and Viewtiful Joe 2. Fun games. I like 'em.

Kirby Canvas Curse. If you like drawing rainbows, this is the game to have.

Togo's. It's open 24 hours a day and has breakfast sandwiches that don't come from McDonalds.

Nintendo DS and PSP. I got a nintendo DS yesterday. My brother has a PSP and in my opinion, PSP is about $100 cooler than DS. PSP can play music and movies, but DS has a touch pad and a weird microphone that can tell when you blow on the screen. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
