Life at Rensselaer

A full week

By Aidan ⋅ November 6, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve noticed that nearly every day at the same time during my IEA class I can hear a fire truck close by. I’m not quite sure what this says about Troy. Perhaps 2:00-3:50 Monday and Thursday are very fire-prone times. More likely, however, is that the Fire Dept is doing some sort of a test [...]

Weekend excitment

By Brian ⋅ October 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I am very excited for this weekend. Even though it is Family Weekend, my family isn’t coming to visit. I am looking forward to this weekend because I have been extremely busy all week, and this weekend will be relaxing. I will have a chance to catch up on my sleep, and I may even [...]

I made a serious mistake this last week

By Franklin ⋅ October 16, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I made a serious mistake this last week. I got less than six hours of rest a day.

That was worth it

Making computer games isn’t just fun, it’s an honest and rewarding profession. If it hadn’t been for the all-nighter, we’d never have gotten the game out before the deadline. It may win us $1,500 a head, so wish us good luck!

I could really kill for some sleep now

Oh man … I could really kill for some sleep now, but I guess that is not going to happen. Going to bed at 2:30 in the morning and waking up in five hours or so, at 7:30 or 8 is not the greatest idea.

Slippin’ and slidin’

Anyway, I took my chances and began to carefully walk down. I already saw it coming: I slowly began sliding down. It turned into a huge slide down the hill with me gaining a lot of speed.

The Union is usually the hustle and bustle of campus

Song Playing: Noots – Sum 41
Okay, so, I am officially deprived of sleep. The other night I had so many things to do that I basically spent the night at the Union with a couple of friends. Even though I was supposed to be getting work done, I wouldn’t say I didn’t have any fun.
