Title: The semester is over... how to fill the gap?
Post by: blacklee on 2006-05-03T12:39:40-05:00 (Wednesday)
My last final was last night. How do I stop thinking about my classes? Last night after the final I got home and spent half of night in bed thinking about the hamburgers problem from CS414. Dr. Stephen, if you are reading, I figured it out!... I think.

If I get the studying out of my brain, what should I fill the empty space with?  Gym? Is it still open? Usually whenever I have time to go there, they are closed for some reason.

:idea: I know! I'll go to the senior project presentations. It should be interesting.

Couple of questions about the forum:

1. After I login, I can only see the individual posts, not the entire topic. Is there a way to change it?

2. After I login, the time of my last message is about 8 hours ahead. Something in my settings perhaps?

3. I was looking at the gallery... what is HALO?

im filling my gap with DLing new music, reading and riding my bike. also trying to get a job

i noticed the login thing as well but havent looked into it. we will have our admin, :pirate: , check those things out.

halo is my favorite game [and im not a gamer]. its a first person shooter and "the reason to buy an xbox" which i can vouch for.

The 8 (actually 6) hour problem is a time-zone problem. I fixed it a few days ago, but anyone who saved their settings while the time-zone was wrong is probably seeing GMT not CST.  You can change your time-zone to here:

You should set it to:
(GMT-6:00) Central Time (US & Canada), Mexico City

I think the "only individual messages" proble is related to another setting on the same page.

Set "Comments Display Mode" = "Flat"

We'd give you your own smiley, but you'd probably never leave your room.

Thanks, changing setting worked.

Of course, I've heard of xbox; but never heard of DLing. I feel old now. The last new group that I really like is Maroon 5. I'm not even going to tell you what my all-time favorites are, you would laugh really hard. That's OK guys, I'm used to it. :)

I went to the Quoridor team presentation, they did a great job.

 :doh: gotcha

I've decided to go canoeing this weekend. This should get my mind off studying. What I think I should do is turn off my computer, and don't turn it back on until Fall... OK, maybe once a week. That would be a major challenge though.
