Well my shoulder quit aching and I got A's in all my classes . Not only A's but two A+'s and no A-'s. So I still have a 4.0. In other news I'm working on my raytracer you can take a lool at http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~bjwbell I've also been editing the davis wiki website at http://www.daviswiki.org

For the last couple of days I've had a dull ache right below my shoulder blade. It's a little worrying because nothing I do seems to affect it. Anyways my dad traded in my bike for a new one today. I wasn't there because I went up to see my aunt and her family with my sister.

I was out biking with my dad today and my bike frame broke. Which is pretty anoying considering I got the bike in april. I have used it pretty hard but not that hard. I'm just happy it happend after finals.

Well I took my Linguistics final. The teacher was really nice and had the scores posted at around 5:00 p.m. I got 100% which I know is an inflated score since I got at least one question wrong. In looking back on my finals it's kind of funny how large the difference was in the amount of studying I did for each final. By far I did the least studying for the linguistics final. For the linguistics final I only read my notes three or four times. For the other finals I redid old tests I did the ...

Yeah I got an A in my partial differential equations class. I managed to get an 89.5% on the final and I was ranked third. The average score on the final was 55%. In the class I was ranked third out 46. So I'm pretty happy. I just need to do well on my linguistics final tomorrow and hopefully I'll get A's in all my classes

My physics final went much better than I thought it would. I was finished with all the problems I did in one and a half hours. I attemped to do 7 out of the eight problems. I know I got 3 problems completly correct. You only need to get about 5 of the problems correct to get an A. So I think I got an A. After I finished the final I was talking to the teacher and he thought I should be a physics major which was cool. It's a nice ego booster when the teacher tries to recruit you into their fi...

I just had the final exam for the Partial Differential equations class. It was an awful test. Out of the 11 questions I couldn't fully answer the last 3. I'm just hoping eveyone else does terrible also. The class was fairly easy but for some reason that final was awful. My intro to abstract math final was okay. So I expect to get an A in that course. After that final in Partial Differential equations I'm just hoping for a B. I still have a physics final on friday and a linguistics fin...

I should be studying for my math final. But I felt like taking a break to update my blog. I was thinking about how much I talk to people and I concluded that it's pretty rare for me to have much of a conversation with anybody. I talk to my sisters and parents everyday but not much. Anyways things I going pretty good. I just have to do well on my finals to do well in my classes so that's pretty much all I'm thinking about right now.

On the continuing journey of my sleep I got some last night. It wasn't as much as I wanted becuase I had to get up at 8:30 a.m. but the really good sign was that my body wanted to sleep longer. So I'm feeling okay and hopefully I'll keep sleeping.

Well I stayed here in davis over thanksgiving so I could sleep. But somehow I still couldn't get to sleep I was able to doze at around 6 a.m. in the morning but I was never able to sleep for more than a couple of hours. The same thing happend last night. So I don't know what it is but I can't sleep. I can rest or doze but I haven't been able to sleep for more than 4 hours in the last month or so. I'm hoping once the quarter ends I'll be able to sleep but it is rather worrying that I can't....

I was reading this great article about a girl who was saved by new advanced antiviral drugs. It was a great article till I read the dads comments at the end. He somehow still thought she was saved by prayer! article

I'm finally sleeping! Yay:) In other news I have an essay due on wednesday for linguistics and an Abstract Math test on wednesday. So I should be studying oh well. I'm also still working on a ray tracer. I should be able to add refractions to it over thanksgiving break.

I'm going to write more in the future in hopes that It'll act as a sort of therapy. In the last month that my parents have been living with me and my sisters in davis I haven't been getting much sleep. The reason is that every morning when my mom gets up at 6.a.m. she wakes me up. This has resulted in me being sleep deprived and I'm not a very nice person when I'm sleep deprived. I start getting upset and angry partly because my grades suffer when I don't get enough sleep and partly becau...

Even though I'm a republican I think it is better for the country to have at least one of the house,senate or president in the opposite parties hand. The big reason is spending. With only one party for the house,senate and president all kinds of big spending packages get passed. I remember from one of the debates that Bush hasn't vetoed a single spending bill. This is bad in my mind because I want a smaller goverment. With only one party they tend to spend spend spend.

The professor for my analytical mechanics class had to go to INS(Imigration Naturalization Service) to get new finger prints. So the TA taught. And he was bad! The class was correcting his mistakes and finally he made so many mistakes that we quit correcting him! The quiz at the end of class was doable I hope I got the correct answer my last quiz I only got 8/10 the average was 5/10. In other news my ray tracer is coming along and I now have diffuse lighting and shadows. The shadows are...
