Right now, I'm on one of my aforementioned tuesday/thursday lunch breaks. My other roomate, "Coyote", cooked up some penne alfredo, for which I am ever so grateful. She's kind. :)

Operating Systems II today was absolutely smashing. Why? 'Cause I took my first test of the semester in it, duh! Aww, christ.. it was kinda bunk. Perhaps I pulled a B or a C on it, although who really knows. I've got a feeling that this exam is one of those where I come out of it feeling like a millionaire but I end up feeling like a bum cast off by all of us upright citizens when I see my real score. See, I recognised all the terms and had a pretty damned good idea of the concepts behind each question (like the differences between distributed systems and network operating systems coupled with middleware, how weighted reference counting works, the issues with process migration, etc etc), but I knew I left a few of the details out. I guess I'll just see how destitute I become next week sometime.

Since that bear is out of the way, I'm thinking I'll take the better part of the day off. I might read a little tonight, but it's really hard to say. I could just use some Goat time right now - 'tis been awhile. Curl up with a fat load of nothing and let my thoughts drift off, slowly, like a canoe resting on a mountain lake, inching farther away in the unknown world of midnight blackness. I'll let my dreams rise to the starlit infinity above, and become one with the world. I'll smile.

I shall restore my balance... I shall become whole again.
