Having just finished the first Avatar series, Adventure Time could be next on the list of cartoons for me to watch.

*looks at list of things I need to watch*


...Maybe. There's a lot of stuff.

Sunday: Applied for a job at Wal-Mart.

Monday: Got a call for an interview on Tuesday.

Tuesday: Got interviewed, got told to take a drug test immediately after interview.

Wednesday: Got a call saying that orientation is on Thursday, see you there.


I'm not sure if they're desperate, or if I'm just that good.

Either way, I'm getting a paycheck, so...

Walmart is always up for fresh meat. It means they get to fire someone who has seniority who earns a living wage.

Yeah, some stores make a habit of cycling through employees. Never worked at wal-mart, but that's what happened at domino's when I worked there. Constantly hiring people to fill in the spots left by people tired of the company's shit.

Won positively impossible case. Still can't quite believe it or explain exactly how. Nobody wanted this case, nobody. It was like a juvenile game of "not it." Everybody suddenly had something else to do.... Very cute young white girl victim and black boy who ... quite frankly has a very bad attitude and not in a good way. He testifies horribly and the jury hates his guts. For this and other reasons (5th) I told him not to testify. He insisted, which is usually the kiss of death....

Robbery "victim" admitted she made the whole thing up on the stand. All I did was box her in and pick apart her story and this time she folded. Planted her stuff in his bag and called the police on him.... I couldn't tell you why she did it and I'm not entirely sure I could do it again, but .... I dunno. Shit didn't add up. He didn't know what side of a gun the safety is on (left side, as firearms are normally made for right handed people), or how many bullets it held, or if it was a revolver or a(n) (semi)automatic. He didn't know a lot of things I would expect him to if he did it. I wasn't sure if he was just playing stupid or not at first though.

Still wondering about her motive.

I... I got straight A's last semester.  No A-'s.  Just A's.  More technical courses than not--and hard technical courses, too.

I don't think that's ever happened to me in my life.

I was always happy to coast through with b's. It helped that I could manage that in most classes without ever studying or putting in effort. Calculus and some of the higher maths did however kick my ass.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

She's brilliant and I'm not surprised about the grades. She's good company to be among.

Haha, this is also the first semester in, like, ever when I wasn't either severely depressed or recovering from depression the whole time (other than the first month, which was admittedly terrible).  It's also the first semester when I've been out as bisexual among friends and the first semester when I've had enough friends to have a social circle.  It's been a year and a quarter since I became a feminist and started dismantling the "nuuuu, bitches cannot math" stuff that was really holding me back.  It's the first semester that I've had any sort of portion control or reasonable sense of appetite since my bout with anorexia (now all fine as long as I don't weigh myself, which isn't exactly hard because I don't own a scale).  I finally have confidence in my skills.  Hell, I finally HAVE skills.

What I'm saying is that one of the most important things in college is the ability to work consistently.  It's almost impossible to get A's at Berkeley in any course without being able to consistently put in the hours.
