Frustrating things:
I have apparently determined that listening to "Between"1 on endless repeat is fun and a good idea! Doubly frustrating, because I was doing this a couple weeks ago, too --I don't like being in the same gloomspace twice in a month. I thought I had snapped out of this one already.

Went into my multivariate calc exam fully expecting to fail. Sat down to maybe scrawl some notes down for a study sheet, and realized that I hadn't actually learned anything all semester. It felt a bit like those stereotypical dreams2 where you didn't know you had a test and so didn't study, except without the waking up part. Quite awful.
Luckily, I was able to pummel my memory into at least writing down something for every part of every problem, and I do think I had some idea of what I was doing on a few of them. I did manage to correctly remember what cross-product multiplication of vectors was, so, yay me I guess.
But yeah. Things I learned this semester: Parameterization. WoooooooooooowhydoIsuckatmath?

I am supposed to be packing right now, as today I move the rest of my stuff out and start on my grand gallivanting adventure that I really just *have* to get some e-mails out about. First though, I think I need to find somewhere in Porter Exchange to scavenge breakfast from. So yes, breakfast, then go home and throw everything into boxes, then commit seppuku, then...wait, spellcheck recognizes seppuku? I am astonished, I was just throwing that in to check if anyone was paying attention.
...today is one of those whiny days where I really want attention. I'm going to have to snap my mind out of that before I get annoying, since I'm painfully aware of the fact that me being all *cling, paw, paw, paw* at people is in fact, not charming.
(Today is also one of those whiny days where I somewhat want to hide forever. I'll see how well I can manage that once I've finished packing.)

Rackle is really really cool, and said some good words to me last night that I should reread at some point and remember.

MOOP!
1: By Vienna Teng. Good song, great waltz, really honestly kinda depressing as hell when you listen to the lyrics. Multiple depressing ways to look at it, too. It's *brilliant* or something. The fact that it's invaded my world for the moment might be a bad sign, not really sure. I think I prefer to sort out the problems that it expresses rather than collapse under the weight of them. Wooooo, cryptic!
2: I don't remember if I mentioned it when xkcd brought it up, but I don't have stereotypical dreams. I have only rarely dreamt myself naked, and never had my teeth fall out. I've never flown (though I would fall for a while, but not endless falling --just a ten-twenty foot drop half sliding alongside a wall). My dream tropes involve getting uncomfortably groped by people I'm supposed to be platonically fond of. Oh, and food. I have good food dreams unfairly often.

Q: What do you get when you cross a grape with an elephant?
A: Elephant*grape*sinΘ.
Q: What do you get when you cross an elephant with a mountain climber?
A: You can't, the mountain climber's a scalar.
Thank you, I'm here all week. Tip your server.

Never ever think you are being too whiny/clingy/pawpawpaw in MY direction because that's my department! *i'm* the one who does that waaay too much all the time and stuff...
...and you probly have no idea AT ALL how much it makes *me* feel good that you feel like you might want to cling to me because, well, i know i'm not even close to your top-ten of people to cling to ;)
And i'll say it again here: You are the smartest math chick person i know! ♥

Do I win anything?
MVC is bloody hard :/ Good luck with your test results.
I have dreams like that too occasionally. Very much dislike dreams you wake up from with a shudder. Also, lobsters. My dreams. Have. Too many. Freaking. Lobsters in them. I do not know why my subconcious has a freaking obsession with them. But it does. Creepy little clicky clacky bastards.
