I have not done any serious programming since the I left my job from last semester. I feel like I just don’t have time to kick back and enjoy a good bout of coding anymore. CS231 is painfully annoying, what with the mallards and written homework. And CS173 is far more easy to understand but it’s honestly *so* dry.

I’m supposed to be looking into the Liferay code right now and doing stuff, but I don’t know where that time is going to come from other than my sleep. And God knows I love my sleep. It also comes out of exercise time, which is not acceptable for me.

Speaking of which, the past 2 days water running has become particularly boring. It’s getting to be so unbearable — sometimes I just end up running for 40 minutes and swimming for the rest (which immediately makes me tired and out of breath and that’s that). This weekend I’ll be doing splits at the meet, which is cool cause I get to spend time with the team but also sucks because I know I can’t run right now…uhgh.

Oh well. Maybe it’s also partially my fault for enjoying talking with people. I spent ~4 or 5 hours last night talking to Emily and then Mike before finally going to bed around 4am without having completed much of anything. There’s just so much to learn about people, and kicking back to forget about work and to enjoy a quiet chat with a friend is simply ideal to me.

Equally ideal is being able to sit down for a 6 hour stretch just to read articles on wikipedia and learn new things to do with code. It’s just impossible to get that kind of time nowadays: it’s a struggle just to have time for blogging.
