We are getting a really short summer

I can't call it summer until there's NO MORE chance of cold weather

And look what we've got for memorial day weekend. This is awful! Why is it so cold? And stormy? Lightning closes down water parks and so does cold. It's been cold since mid-September! I just want ACTUAL SUMMER to get here and STAY. 

I don't care, I'm going to water parks anyway if they're still open. I'll freeze my butt off but I don't care. At least it'll be nice when I go tonight for a little bit. And of course the storm lasts over every single weekend day and then it gets nice during the week. Ain't that grand. 

My weekend was supposed to look like this: Friday, Provo Rec outdoor slides. Saturday: long run, coasters at Lagoon for an hour, then all the slides at Lagoon a Beach, then maybe Cherry Hill, then personal work/cleaning/time with friends, some nice dinner, screwing around on the PC, and plenty of sleep. Sunday was supposed to have a nice warm sunny walk at Riverwoods and Monday was going to be more water slides -- maybe Cowabunga Bay or Splash Summit or SCERA -- or possibly some other activity, like the zoo. I have been waiting for this weekend since October and now I can't do half of what I wanted. I always look forward to this weekend, all year. And well, now it's screwed up. 

I am SO excited to get out of this freezing cloudy depressing wasteland in around a year's time. The MS project or thesis, and my core competency work, are the only things standing in my way. After this I am out!! Anyway, I should get back to coding so I can for sure have a ticket out of here. These are like April temperatures. This is a heaping pile of garbage. This summer had better be blistering hot, like weeks of 90+ degree weather with no storms and just blue skies and sun, to make up for this crap. It won't be, though.

I guess there's the aquarium...indoors. Ugh. I've been stuck indoors for so long. I. Am. Tired. Of. It. 

Yes, today is nice but there's this little thing called work lol



It's not even the beginning of May. It's the END of May, almost JUNE, and we still have lows in the 30s. I am still exercising in winter gear. What the hell Utah. Winter never ends. I hate this, I hate this, I hate this, I am going to California and I am never coming back except for in June or the middle of July. But even then we'll probably still get stupid thunderstorms.

Unleashing my inner Disney Princess ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ at the 2024 Disney Princesses Half Marathon

TL;DR it was amazing and perfect  and we are going to make this an annual tradition. I may edit this with photos later, but I'm probably going to forget.  Recently, I spent 5 wonderful days donating my dollarbucks and soul to the evil mouse in Orlando. I did it for the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  Just look at that happy little alligator musician. He's so CHONKY. It's adorable. I love him. How could you NOT run a half marathon for him when he's cheering you on?  (My dad says it's weird to say the word "adorable" as a man, which makes zero logical sense and obviously means I need to use that word as often as possible. I will also continue to wear my rings and maybe I'll start flashing my pink protein shaker. Just to cause a little discomfort, because it's funny.)  I haven't seen the movie yet actually so idk if the gator is a major character or not. But JUST LOOK AT HIM.  My cousin and I had been planning a Disney trip, specifically centered

The 20-something types of Computer Science majors

I've been way too distracted with this blog lately, and I need to hurry up and start getting crap done. But...I've been dying to write this lol.  The advanced neckbeard A rare variety. When a neckbeard is forced out of his mom's basement and into college, he becomes an Advanced Neckbeard. You can always tell when he's coming, because you can smell him from half a mile away. He is very overweight, and wears shirts that are either plain or adorned with anime/gaming graphics. These shirts are either stained with sweat, Hot Cheetos, or something a little bit more, ah, suspicious . He is so socially unskilled that he makes everyone else in the major look normal. Age 30+, GPA at a 2.0 or just barely above it. Will never drop the major despite his lack of effort, because he simply doesn't care if he gets bad grades. In fact, he is probably highly intelligent, but his grades will never reflect that. Nevertheless, he will get a much higher paying job than a regular neckbeard

The Evenstar

I've never liked this world much.  Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of going somewhere else. I created this alternate version of Earth that had everything and everyone that I loved, but with all these improvements to it. Magic was real. So were dragons. Dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct. Technology allowed people to fly. A network of glass corridors provided transport between this world and mine, snaking through streams of stars, galaxies, and lightyears of blackness.  And more than anything, I wasn't alone. I don't remember why I spent so much time alone as a kid. I really wish I did. All I know is that when I was in my  world, I always had someone by my side.  The feeling of being out of place here was overwhelming. It still is. That sense of not belonging, of longing for somewhere else, it has never gone away.  When I was in middle school, being bullied daily, I escaped to that world. The boys who tripped me and spit on me disappeared, replaced by tropical
