It really seems I'm the readiest of any my friends to research whatever knowledge needs known now. Google powers, or Wikipedia. I haven't really needed anywhere else, much as Croul might cringe at that.

Obligatory Latin Moment of the Day tiem!

Well: tiem: tempus, second declension! Most popularly used in tempus fugit: time flies.
This word brings to mind metronomes, to me, for some reason. Or ex tempore, on the fly, without preparation.

Many of my university rants are ex tempore. :D Let's check Victoria's idonteatthat blog!

ETA (1929) I'm embarrassed about her handcuff ordeal.

ETA (2155) This article disturbs me. In the accident, I had been in a light blue 2001 Honda Civic.

@2221: Father informed me I had been in a light blue 2000 Honda Civic. mea culpa~

Officially in some shiny colours. Copypasted verbatim.

( w00t! )

I'll note that while the area around New Swope was mostly plowed, the area around Old Swope had... um... well, I made it to Pre-Calculus in one piece!

Kay, I do this to eat time, especially since I have a couple years of snow time pending.

( 01. )

( 02! )

I deleted the previous post of today since it just expressed hatred and claire_chan does not hate!!

I told Mother I was going to practise Oboe or something crazy like that, but it took me a half hour to get from new to old Swope, and I don't want to miss my Pre-Calculus class.

The math majors here are friendly :D I approve.

Ooh, my fingers nearly have thawed from my journey! I'll journey once more to get from class, but I'll cross that metaphorical bridge when I approach it.

Edit to mention it had warmed up, so it wasn't so bad post classem.

WCU sent an email delaying classes 2 hrs tomorrow. It won't affect me, with Pre-Calculus at noon.

I don't know, will I have the ability to pull myself out of bed?

ETA 1810: I rly don't know what's going on right now with myself concerning males, by the way. I told myself not to bother Kent until 1800. Now it is. Oh well, can't hurt. *lift phone* I am really unsure, but also, proletariat_x and I share some interests, it seems? Absolutely adorable chibi icons. ♥ They garner Claire-chan Approval.

Hesitant to add the tag of which I thought first.

ETA 1954: I'm going to see about making it to Sykes at ten, interacting with a FB friend.

Edited for grammatical correctness, from sashimi. This meme is a lengthy one: 100 questions. Check taglist to see if interesting, I recommend ^_^

1. HOW DID YOU GET ONE OF YOUR SCARS? I received a number of scars on my left thigh after attempts to reassemble the snapped femur. Claire can't tell her right from left. Left hand more necessary for Bassoon!

2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? This image of Chii from Chobits, A birth embroidery with my name misspelled. Ergo, spelling obsession. Also, a peacock stained glass window I won at an auction.

3. DO YOU SNORE, GRIND YOUR TEETH, OR TALK IN YOUR SLEEP?
I reportedly whimper in my sleep as Victoria notes. She verified at noon.

4. TO WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN?
Baroque, Classical, whatever my friends link me

( ”Interested?” )

It is Winter, if anyone were to have lost track, just after the numerous Birthdays. The news defined the local conditions as not enough snowfall to make a bona fide blizzard, but still... in SE Pennsylvania, we currently face a cornucopia of love snow. Approximately a foot has accumulated, in nonscientific measures.

I have been rereading The Annotated Alice: the Introduction thus far, and the very first pages, titled "All in a Golden Afternoon". Carroll seems to have been a rather creepy fascinating man. This reminds me very much of my freshman year of high school, when I had initially fangirled all over this tome. Particularly as I have purchased the same edition I had initially loaned from the library.

I do not want other smelly crazed fangirls to associate with me, please.

Hello. Ah, yes, I have finally gotten my act together and fixed my flist so now I only have mutual friends.

Yay? I'm the littlest bit more like Chelleh?

I don't want to be entirely like her, since as I have mentioned in the past, I have people reading who do not have LiveJournals, and I want to keep it open for everyone curious to see what I'm doing now.

Mostly as performed by Itzhak Perlman, sometimes not.

Okay, the goal this weekend: sleep.

Hmm, I didn't know he was affected by polio. But waai, still alive. *fangirl*

ETA 2010: [rofl, same time as the year] The BBC is noting the crazy snowstorm preparations as well. I haven't seen outside, but wonder really if it's all that bad.

@2103: I squinted at our back porch-thing, and verified a Shitload of Snow has accumulated since I last ventured out there.

I have both my Oboe Alexander and my English Horn, whatever I named that instrument... *research* Oh, Reggie-kun!! I should remember, royalty much? Rex, regis?

In Theory (of music) I seem to have made an impression on Dr. Silverman by my mad Latin skillz. I guess? Besides that, it seems Classics in general? I'm not sure.

I just went and had a giant breakfast at Sykes. I feel like the Snorlax of note as of late. It cost me, oh... about ten dollars. Seriously. I virtually never purchase that much food.

After Masterclass, I'll phone Mother from HG's office phone and tell her I'm okay and arrange the events of the afternoon. Maybe I could get the rest of the studio to chorus Happy Birthday to her? (She's 4x.)

Edit: I've arranged personal pickup at 1600. So, I have... 1227... um. Three and a half hours.

Hello from the Mathematical Student Lounge. It really seems everyone (or at least, Alan) knows the good parts of my personal history. Yes, I did Regional Spelling Bee for Chester County when I was yea high.

Maybe I'll actually look at the score of books here. Hm, it seems there is food of some description. *investigate* Chocolate covered cherries. Ah. No thank you.

I heard someone say "Did you make in into Theory I?" which reminds me I have all that to read. *looks around for a clock* Um. That's okay, the music student lounge does not have a clock, either, just a microwave: the clock for which likely does not reflect RL time. It's 1236. Okay. Getting a sense of how long time passes.

Investigation tiem! I still feel full. After I check my WCU email.

Okay, meanwhile over here in the land of the legendary спальня у меня, besides the struggle to maintain a reasonable GPA, the cat whom I virtually inherited from my dear departed Grandmother has been busy existing.

Interacting somewhat unpleasantly with Angel, Victoria's darling femme cat.

He tends to just sleep on the foot of my bed. ...♥ not saying that's all one needs to do to obtain my affection. He's been through a long haul, though.


My written music for this entry has been stuck in my head for such a long time, as it may do quite easily. [Edited to vocalise my thought more clearly. Gah, probably not eloquated well. I'm sowwy!!] Mostly having heard Elfie-chan studies Russian too now! Wow. Small world. I can't stop laughing at her interpretation of B in both languages.

My mood seems a bit incorrect, but I speak Russian so poorly. orz

After the Happy Pre-Calculus Class of Today, Prof. Moser let me retake the test I did less than adequately upon, after allowing me to see my original answer sheet. ( Read more... )

After I told Dr. Grabb I got dizzy so could not play more perhaps 45 minutes into my lesson and about how I nearly lost consciousness when practising this morning again, he told me to eat more protein, inquiring what I had for breakfast. I could not remember precisely, but I figured I might have had one of those granola bars.

He figured out that I do not eat, given the choice.

Um... oops? It's not a matter of concern I might weigh like a Snorlax someday. I just put dining off until I'm finished with the current item on the agenda of sorts. Then I get distracted, not bothering eating anything. Sometimes the headaches help clue me in how something's missing.

...

*wanders downstairs to dine*

But before that: maybe my hunger urge departed after that one January?

I have since thought and eaten something, coming to the conclusion that my original post was bad form.

Sorry!!!

The disadvantage to going to bed as soon as you're tired is waking up rather early.

Oops.

ETA 0236: Looking at My Stats reminds me people actually look at my LJ sometimes, with the most people on the 16th of January. ♥ Wow!

ETA 0244: The rain is calming to hear.

It took me until page 120 to figure out it's the exact same with perhaps w in place of x.

UGH.

Is this all?

...

How silly.

(On the other hand, how ridiculous I did not catch on for so long)

I have read The Daily Local News' article on Dr. Bedford's case against Dean Blair, and will note that Dr. Bedford is extremely friendly to me, as a non-piano major, the daughter of one of his (notable) students.

As one who plans herself to remain in the University as long as possible, I will mention that I fall on Dr. Bedford's side. He may be older (I feel it was extremely unkind how Daily Local noted his age in precise years), but he has always been extremely kind to me personally. A little insistent on his Alexander Technique, which I don't mind, as my Oboe's named Alexander (after Alexander the Great and Alexander Nevsky), too.

He still has his wits about him, as far as I can tell.

/One Oboist has spoken.

I'm scared to make a Bedford group to contest the Blair one: I don't know if anyone else agrees.
ETA 1648: Mother told me she was not fond of him, but he did teach her some mad piano-plunking skillz. @1714: Neither parent wants to join the rally, either side.

There's a silly petition going around Facebook to have President Obama recognise Darwin Day, the 12th of February.

February is my favourite month, right alongside May. I like Darwin, even if I can't stand the smell of formaldehyde from my Biology days. Do you like Darwin? He's a swell fellow whose publishings have apparently stirred controversy sometime in the past century.

I signed it, even if Internet petitions are probably worth little, and more than half of my friends aren't American to start with, so it does not effect me much.

This morning, Victoria puffed her chest and claimed she was better at Physics than I am. I can barely explain how much that upset me.

One of the advantages to my Pre-Calculus course is that it will build my knowledge for Calculus and the level of Physics that is allowed to students also concurrently enrolled in Calculus.

Her Physics is for those who haven't the mathematical background.

UGH.

Gradually, I am calming down. I could barely listen to Webern this morning calmly like a normal music major, as I was so perturbed.

Fortunately, I am posting from outside. ^_^ There are some agitating children wandering about the premises, but they have parents accompanying them.

Oh, that's right, I can finally read my Function Theory book!

Note: I had issues posting there precisely, but now at home I can ^_^ I have learned while books may recommend each other, just one is fine to aid in study. I'm learning a lot from checking concepts on Wikipedia. I'm on the second page. There is soo much to this field!! I'm scared: I probably won't have energy to devote to Physics.

Today I walked up to the top floor of the FHG library and picked out for myself an exciting book: Theory of Functions of a Real Variable! I can't wait to get in the middle of it!
ETA 2140: Edwin Hewitt seems to write interesting things I want to read. Nota mihi, nota mihi.
Wow. I seem to be the only one reading anything he wrote in our library.

ETA 2/2/10 12:13: The book Hewitt mentioned is required for understanding his book looks scary. No, it's not that bad! I keep telling myself.

I'm studying Pre-Calculus Functions right now, after all. Prof. Moser told me so!

I practised oboe plenty this morning before that class.

ETA 1814: It's good that I got a physical book to organise my studies.

Were walking cross the land
The beach was wide from side to side
But much too full of sand
(Disney, copyright 1951)

I wanted to say something but it escaped me. Perhaps twenty meter walk will refresh my memory.

*hobble hobble*

Like I was saying, maybe a couple hundred meters will refresh my memory.

...

Ah yes! I was about to quip how I've already drawn the Certain Other as a walrus, considering Latin and its treatment of v. :D I liked him and the frying pan. It was adorable. I think that drawing was only on Hanako-chan unfortunately. I'll check dA.

...

Yes, seems like it. But I must have put it elsewhere. Oh. That's not the walrus. I could have sworn I had done walrus -> volans... *puzzle*

Snorlax is very fat, admittedly, but he does practise bassoon every day, meriting "bassoon" and "pokemon" tags, albeit too much laziness to overtag. At least, as of late January 2010. eee 2010 eee
