02:43:39 < bblum> this semester has been really frustrating
02:44:41 -!- jsappel [jsappel@CMU-352938.WV.CC.CMU.EDU] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
02:45:05 < bblum> most of my work is not conducive to my happiness
02:47:29 < DeMarko> bblum: that's no bueno
02:47:47 < bblum> yeah
02:48:13 < bblum> i don't know what's up
02:48:29 < DeMarko> :/ anything I can do to help?
02:48:39 < bblum> make me already have taken real analysis?
02:49:00 < bblum> that class may be the real culprit that just makes everything else worse
02:49:15 < DeMarko> bblum: ouch, if you had caught me just a few minutes earlier, you could have 
                    had the time machine. but I seriously JUST lent it out tomorrow
02:49:21 < bblum> c.c;
02:49:36 < DeMarko> in b4 "I haven't eaten anything since later this afternoon"
02:49:48 < bblum> it's like PTRP from last semester... i don't enjoy the material at all, have 
                  to teach it myself because lecture is impossible to follow
02:50:01 < bblum> the only difference is i can't churn out the assignments in a single evening,
02:50:07 < bblum> probably because i have nobody to do them with
02:50:14 < DeMarko> ah
02:50:18 < DeMarko> why are you taking it?
02:50:22 < bblum> requirement for math minor
02:50:40 < DeMarko> and everyone else already took it/will take it in the future?
02:50:47 < bblum> something like that, yeah
02:51:01 < DeMarko> yeah, I was stuck in a class like that once
02:51:11 < DeMarko> I made some friends, it made things easier
02:51:13 < DeMarko> >_<
02:51:24 < DeMarko> but I hate to give the advice "make some friends n00b"
02:51:48 < bblum> my strategy for the more difficult problems has been 'ask mrwright
02:51:49 < bblum> '
02:52:27 -!- csawyer [~Carolyn@c-71-202-249-25.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
02:53:59 < bblum> it works but isn't as good as doing the assignment with somebody else
02:54:37 < dweis> gah 1024 x 768 is not enough pixels
02:54:41 < bblum> last semster joshua kal and i would hole up in the 412 lab to churn out the 
                  week's PTRP assignment and it would actually be fulfilling
