These past two weeks at college have been a hill to climb.* If any of you know about Computer Science, it is a major laden with Mathematics and mathematical logic.* Super, super tough.* In fact, it is, more or less, a mathematics major.
So, I decided — quite stupidly — to just work on this past week’s homework on Saturday.* I was working that day, and fortunately we have significant amounts of downtime between patient shifts.* This week it was about loops and nested loops, using counters and trying to figure out how to structure these nested loops to complete a particular task.
I started at 6:00 AM, after all my patients were on their machines.* At about noontime I was only 1/3 of the way through the assignment.* By 3:00 my workday was over, and I was only 2/3 of the way through.* I was highly frustrated, wracking my brain trying to figure out how to structure the final problem.
So, my wife told me we should go out for dinner and grab a couple movies from the Redbox.* So, we did.* I had myself a nice Rye Whiskey on the rocks, and some Memphis-Style Texas Beef Brisket.* Oh my dear lord…if you want to talk about a satisfying dinner, that’d be it.
The movies we got from Redbox — Star Trek: Into Darkness
AND
Cloud Atlas.
There are such things as *highly* important movies spiritually, philosophically and more.
On my personal list, in this order:
1) Donnie Darko
2) The Matrix
3) Cloud Atlas
These particular movies are very important for someone on any kind of spiritual path, search for God, the deconstruction of self, etc.* All of these things really mean the same thing; and someone on the trajectory toward this “finality”, as it were is going to find it no matter what.* But these movies in particular will plant some sort of “seed” in your mind.
Anyway, back to my point.* There it was, about 9:30 at night.* And it finally clicked in my mind that I wasn’t going to finish the work on time.
I submitted, via Blackboard, and called it a night.* A very disappointing submission indeed.
***
The wife and I also went to a GREAT little farm out in Harford County this weekend to pick up a couple cool pumpkins.* Went for our usual grocery trip to Trader Joe’s, and had a great Sunday in general.
***
Tonight is another night at Lodge, and we’ll have a great time per the usual.
I don’t know how much I can mention, so I won’t mention anything at all.
Have a great day, Brothers.
