Random Bus Ride

One thing you should never do when bored..... ride a random bus for "fun". First off, it is anything but "fun." There might even be a moment of pure unadulterated terror when you notice the bus is exiting the college campus and is continuing to pass by an industrial yard.

My roommate and I didn't have class this evening. So, as we began to run out of things to do; unfortunately, thoughts went where thoughts should never EVER go. We ended up taking a joy ride on a bus to "see  where it takes us." FAIL. Once we passed the industrial yard, hyperventilation began and the number of sane people on that bus decreased by one. We lucked out, the bus driver was making one last loop back to the campus.

Lesson learned: no jumping on random campus buses because your bored, and your happy you just wrote c++ code on your laptop. Next time, I will be keeping it locked at my desk, and will write more code to keep me busy. Peer pressure is bad children, DO NOT SUCCUMB. You will never be the same. Life Guru up and out

A Means To A Beginning

So.. this blog is starting out as an assignment for my Comp Sci class... But, who knows where it will go from here. So far, the class has been pretty interesting;the teacher has, to my amazement, perfected the balance of fun and meaningful work. I'm taking this class as a part of a program at FSU (YSP), and so far it's been really great. I've had the chance to work in a professional lab, and I've been able to participate in some great experiments. Also, the teachers all have something valuable to offer, so it kind of balances out the fact that I have to wake up at ungodly hours. Another great part of the program are the weekend trips. This week we went to Wakulla Springs, just in case you didn't know the water temperature there is about... 69 DEGREES! 

On a more brutal note, the food here is questionable. There are somethings that just don't need to be deep fried in my opinion. And there's definitely a problem when the bus is more comfortable than your bed. Just some food for thought....But that's it for now.. check back for more posts and Comp Sci tutorials!!
