777: 7 courses, 7 days, 7 assignments.

好吧7门作业对于中国大学生来说根本算不了什么-w-
The title is not a reference to 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. No, it’s not! Uh-uh! Nope!


So for some slackitude reasons, I had 6 assignments piled up, all due on the week of Feburary 1st or the Monday immediately after. (Actually 7, as I forgot to ask for one professor’s web site.) Since there is an anime con in the weekend, my plan was to complete everything during the weekdays, for there won’t be any time to do them during the weekend, and undone homework would be a really bad thing to have at a con.

During the week, I handed in a web client and suh-vuh, a demo of a ball bouncing in a dish, a token ring simulator (kinda) and an artificial stupidity. 2 Java classes, one C++ project, one C file, and the odd one Python spaghetti (glad that semicolon does nothing in Python), one missed class (just… one… more… compile…), and everything’s finally done… on Saturday lunchtime. The panels I wanted to go are all finished. Oh well, better slow than missed bugs, I suppose.

大概是因为懒惰的关系吧,从二月一日到二月八日的一个星期多一天,竟然堆了7门作业要交 (虽然有一门我不知道)。打算周末去动漫展,所以决定在周末前把作业全部做完——没做完的作业可不是一件适合带到动漫展的东西。

一周中交上了网络客户端和糊误器各一件,在盘子里弹跳的球一个,令牌网模拟器一块,还有人工无能一只。2个Java类、一个C++工程、一个C文件、还有明显不同的Python乌东面一份 (还好多写一个分号也没问题),终于在……周六中午完成了。想去的动漫展讲座,全部讲完了。哎,总比漏了程序错误强吧。


今年是第二次参加GAnime,大概是因为懒惰的关系吧,没有提前注册,而是在现场缴的入场费。因为没有像去年一样和兽友在一起,并且照相机也不见了,所以感觉比较没劲。

展览会场作过了装修,今年感觉十分的现代 (后现代? 后后现代?),但是不知道为什么,面向中庭的窗全被用儿童画盖上了。实话说,不和谐。当然,从窗看下去,展会的忙碌和外面的购物中心的空荡,确实差别很大。不过我还是觉得,能够看到参展者吃饭 (特别是动漫展的时候,coser 在吃饭) 会觉得这地方很亲近。

游戏室周日很早就撤了,《王国之心II》存档记录时间:6 小时。也许不应该呆在游戏室,而是去听听讲座什么的。去年的动漫藏书室,今年是放映室,唯一的一个英语放映室。

结论:不管是动漫展还是兽展,一个人去就没有意思。

This is the second time attending GAnime, so for some slackitude reasons, I didn’t register beforehand, and paid admission on the spot instead. Because didn’t had furries together like last time, and my camera also disappeared, it was relatively less interesting.

The location has been renovated, it feels very modern this year (post-modern? post-post-modern?); but for some reason the windows to the atrium have been covered with drawings by children. Frankly, not harmonious. Of course, between the busy conference center up here and the empty shopping center down there, it is a big contrast. But I still feel it makes the place friendlier if you can see other attendees (especially in the case of anime con, cosplayers) eating.

The games room were cleaned out very early on Sunday, save record for Kingdom Hearts II indicates playtime of 6 hours. Maybe I should have gone to panels instead. Where was manga library last year, was a screening room this year, the only English one.

Conclusion: No matter if it’s an anime con or a furry con, going alone is not very interesting.

Tired, going to sleep.

10 hours and 1200 pages today, again.

So for the UI project I chose to redesign the building interface of Second Life a month ago, without giving too much thought about it. And of course, didn’t manage to do the first part of the project on time, or even at all. Now the deadline of the second part is coming close…

I think I might just have made a bad commitment.
Trying to do the impossible. Worse, I chose to do it alone. Frig. Now I only have two days…

To top things off mom thinks I’m planning to go to Anthrocon and is thinking of tagging along! I deferred the problem of scheduling until Monday but didn’t really give it a thought either!

On top of that I am just so used to browsing stuff and doing nothing I just don’t want to do any real work at all. I get very easily addicted to reading random stuff… easily spends 10+ hours browsing every day.

I shut myself in this white box, in front of the blue box… not even virtually socializing. Let’s not even talk about the real life.

….

and I can’t even keep my mind on writing blog either. It’s just like that…

Bleh, I don’t even know what to say here (this paragraph revised two times). Just that I suck. In short: I haven’t succeeded in my own effort, so I’m afraid and would prefer to stick to familiar stuff, like reading addictive websites and never studying. I’ve been doing this for 10 years, it’s damned familiar to me. Nothing I have is of my own effort. Either it’s from my parents or I did it effortlessly.

But living alone, having no one to guide me…

I want a roommate.

FursuitTV 4 year anniversivary tomorrow.

A spiral-bound book atop a brown hat, which have two chocolate colored bunny ears extending from it. The cover of the book displays Critter Costuming: Making Mascots and Fabricating Fursuits.

Things sure are not as going smoothly as I hope. The school year is started again, and I came back with three failed courses. As usual I still couldn’t fit courses I want to my schedule. Or, for that matter figure out what courses I want. I’m now worried that with a screwed schedule like this I might not even be able to finish my four year program in five years.  I also need to get high grades to offset effects of the last two years on my GPA. Sigh.
诸事进展并不像我希望的那么顺利。我带着三门砸了的科目回到新学期,像往常一样在课程表上找不到安放我想要的科目的地方。当然,前提是我知道我想要上什么课。我现在担心以这样乱七八糟的课程安排我大概五年都完不成我该四年完成的专业。而且我还要用高等第来拉平以前砸了的科目对我的GPA的影响。哎。

From the (three) Saturday garage sale I bought a grill and an microwave oven. … oh curses. Already run out of shelf space. Where should I put my new textbooks and fursuit now? This room needs a redesign badly! Adding insult to injury is the grill setting off the smoke alarm on the first use. And I didn’t realize I bought a book on Amazon for $50 (oh my wallet)…
从上周六旧货抛售中买到了微波炉和电烤盘。……可恶。已经没有地方放东西了。接下来新书和兽装放那里呢?房间急切需要重新设计!更讨厌的是烤盘第一次使用的时候就触发了烟雾探测器。

Which, on a happier note, is the only book on fursuits – Critter Costuming. It proves to be interesting, although not enlightening like A Theory of Fun. It was written five years ago, so things like head construction is somewhat out of date, and there’s a lot of stuff in it that is available in online fursuiting communities, but it has a nice overview of materials and also contains useful tips on performance. (Unfortunately, it doesn’t mention obscure-in-US stuff like the popular 502 resin glue.)

I also got this bunny hat in a furmeet. Cuuute ~

好消息是我在网上买的书送到了。这是目前唯一的一本兽装制作指南。它确实很有趣,虽然不像《快乐之道》那样醍醐灌顶。这本书是五年前写的,所以例如头部制作等方面的内容有些过时了,并且许多东西都可以在网上的兽装社区中找到,不过它关于材料的综述是我所很少见到的,并且也包括了一些关于表演方面的建议。(可惜的是没有提到像是502胶水这样的美国罕见的材料。)

并且我在周六的兽聚中买到了这个兔子帽子。可爱吧~


附注。是的,我回到渥太华了。八月份。
PS. Yes, I came back to Ottawa. August.

拉底被偷走了宝贵的东西之二

电脑被偷走以后……

还算是不错?计算机系有一个很大很大~的电脑房。屏幕也是不一般的大!而且,还可以把自己的绘图板拿过来插进去。(虽然还是当鼠标用,从来不画画……)虽然,每次启动的时候都要重新设置一下,一设置就是十分钟: 分辨率调整,安装Firefox、绘图板驱动软件、中文支持和Windows Live套装。不过装完了以后基本上就可以开始上网冲浪了,再加上楼上就有食堂,所以很舒服~

不过好像舒服得过头了。一开始还把家里整理得像模像样的……后来就不对了。就拿今天来说吧,昨天晚上没睡好,所以感觉很困,不怎么想做正事。结果上网时间累计8小时47分钟!(我还有作业要补交、条目要写、程序要翻译……)

睡眠不足大概是昨天玩游戏太多了吧?因为觉得家里没有电脑会很无聊,卡库尔就在Wii上下载了Opera浏览器,顺便下载了《最终幻想水晶编年史:小小国王与约定之国》(旁作的旁作……)。虽然游戏中的每一天就是发布宣告-派遣勇者-建造房子-和每个勇者与市民对话来快速提升好感度-上床睡觉这样很无聊,不知道为什么还是玩上瘾了。不做正事可不行!从臣民路人那里听说有“可以治愈懒惰的徽章”,如果找到那种东西的话,卡库尔一定会在自己身上使用吧。

当然这样一天下来并不是完全没有收获,也发现了一些很可爱的东西,例如在eBay上的很可爱的浣熊帽子(可惜按照当前的进度,恐怕要送货到中国才行),以及……一大堆很奇怪的中国上海(!)制造的布偶装,从刺猬Silver到虹猫蓝兔都有。大部分都很难看。少数很漂亮,而且价格绝对低廉!只不过毕竟是版权物…… 不管怎么说虽然质量不算高这也算是个兽装制作者吧?(汗)

 

 

周一整理了一下住处,原本乱七八糟的,一下子就感觉清爽多了。不过还是很乱……
