13.5 hours

My consistency has gotten a lot better particularly last and this week. I seem to be having trouble with monday, but monday i was too tired for. I don't know why. So sent mark an email saying that i'd be in on tuesday. And most certainly i was. Every other day of the week was perfect.

It seems my problems are stemming from depressing routine. I get up out of bed, brush my teeth drink some water wash my face, then i take half an hours time to walk up the hill all the way to the o'neil building after getting some food along the way. It's always a journey i must make everyday in very cold weather and usually in the dark the few times i manage to have found my hat or not. If the damn temperature wasn't blisteringly cold i be a lot happier. Anything above 0 to -10 with no wind at all is all i have tolerance for right now. I'm really tired of winter.

This week was more of installing the new matlab with it's new license on lots of computers than last week was. I also found myself back in the mathis lab plopping the new matlab on those computers too. I was told to instead of uninstalling the old version and install the new version that i could just update the license file.

This seemed easy enough, except that the license file on the computer is mostly a blank text file. Putting anything into this blank text file such as the new license gave no discernable effect. There was no way to confirm me updating the blank license file 3 different ways with the new license file updated the license. So i just mainly pulled uninstalls and a installed the new version.

It also appears to me that i have gotten sick on thursday night. I don't know from where or even what. I was just sitting in class and i got really cold in a warm room. So i enjoyed the rest of class in my winter gear. I just started coming down with a fever. I was debating not going to work on friday based on how crappy i felt, but i went anyway. I had to go to campus to get food anyway, i didn't see why i shouldn't go to work either. I was able to suppress my symptoms for the mean time also i scheduled fridays as short days for me.
