jargon fest

i have my computer science mid-term today, and yes, i can draw a functional representation of a computer's memory hierarchy or an lcd display, but i'd really prefer if you didn't ask me to. because i'm still sleepy. and grumpy, and i have too much else to do. i count on my computer science lecture to get all my poli sci reading done. now all of the sudden they want my undivided attention? what gives?

in other news, my litte sister departs for cuba for two weeks today, and the day after she gets back, my mom and littlest sister fly to the uk for, well, awhile. i have papers due the day before and after my mom leaves, rather than having any sort of glamourous destination myself.
