Why all the randomness?
14 years ago
Because science.
Srsly though, there should've been far more educated or educative posts here, or some links to newly updated blog posts.
Instead, college happened. That's some seriously intense shit. On a daily basis, I wake up at 6:30 AM and get home around 5:30 PM, if I can catch the early bus (i.e. I get let out on time and it isn't entirely full of high schoolers who could have just as easily went to one of the FOUR high schools in Lelystad instead >_>"). That's 11 hours a day away from home =\ Then there's this HTML thing that I just won't get into my skull, so that needs a lot of practice. Whenever I can get the opportunity, I squeeze in a little gaming. So there hasn't been a lot of time for educating people.
On the bright side; college is being awesome. I'm study IT, which naturally really suits me, but I'm very surprised by the people in my school. The Dutch college system works a bit differently, but let's just say I'm on a college that's below my level. I had expected way worse stupidity, ignorance, things like that, but these guys (there's only guys, I think there's one girl in the entire IT & Technology landscape...) really outdid my expectations. They're very open-minded, communication-friendly, and even remotely educated :O Most of them, anyway. This may sound strange, insulting or superioristic to you, but to illustrate; to go to the MBO I'm on, you need to do VMBO in high school. VMBO'ers are among the worst kind of people there are. So I had a really bad impression of them; something must have changed over the summer break that spans between VMBO and MBO, 'cause these people are way above that. Anyway, classmates are good, even the ones above us (2nd to 4th year students) are very helpful and nice. Even the teachers (well, most of them) are pretty awesome. Really the only thing I can complain about is how some things are arranged and how some teachers suck at checking things on time, but beyond that, having a blast at college.
Fall Break last week was awesome as well. I hadn't planned anything, yet was gone for most all week. Chilling at friend's, going on an adventure in Amsterdam with Robert (
ragnar-helghow) to find the theater in which we would go see The Lion King in 3D. That really surprised me, I thought 3D was going to be another novelty thing to make just a bit more money, but after seeing it, I'm really impressed. It's not like things half fake coming out of the screen like "back in the day", and it's not one of those 3DS things that hurt your eyes by looking into it, but you can actually see depth in the movie, which for me really added to it. Seeing it made up for a missing part of my childhood (I've never seen Disney movies besides like Aladdin 3 and Lion King 2). Epic chillings with Eric right after (get home from Amsterdam exhausted at midnight, get text from Eric, ride to his home (over the darkest road you can possible imagine; I couldn't even see where I was riding, I was scared to death)) twice in two days. But it was fun, it was so well worth it, I finally had a really great vacation again for once! Getting my laptop back really contributed to that as well.
Back in college since yesterday, having to finish everything up this week (I'mnotgonnamakeitI'mnotgonnamakeitI'mnotgonnamakeitI'mnotgonnamakeitI'mnotgonnamakeit) and bufferweek next week in which some testing will take place.
So yeah, that's the report between summer break and now. So how're you all doing? :D
