Yesterday was an adventure and not spent in isolation to boot, it was a good day.
It started out well by getting the highest score in my class for a mental math quiz at my school, I rocked it except for for taking an extra 5 seconds to multiply 9 by 1.25. darn 11.25. I also learned another mental math trick later on in the day, if you square a number ending in 5 you just multiply what's left of the 5 by itself plus 1 then tack on a 25. 25*25=2*(2+1)->6 tack on 25, 625. or 115*115-> 11*12=132 tack on 25->13225. Very cool.
So I rocked the quiz, finished class for the day then booked it to my car so I could drive 3 hours to a town near Albany where I'll be living soon. I looked over the apt I'm gonna be in again, then signed a bunch of paperwork for my lease. I can't wait for when I get stationed to somewhere for a number of years because then I'm going to actually buy a house and not feel like I'm losing money without getting anything out of it. I hate leasing. It would be better if I had a roommate but I've said before, I don't make friends easily and quickly and everyone else seemed to pair off into groups in the navy side of things and they're really the only group with the same schedule flexibility that would allow it to work. But the signing was done with another couple who were just moving in then and we made a fun time of it and played well off each other in conversation. We kind of threw the property manager off her balance I think. But she was still nice and when we checked out the apt, asked if I was going directly back to CT but I said I would be visiting some friends and had no idea what the plans were but probably having dinner at Browns and watching a movie.
I had earlier decided that since I was in the area of my Alma Mater, RPI, I should contact some people and see if they were up for anything that evening. As it turned out, they were, and we had a general good time. We had a group of 5 that talked about all of what we'd been doing, and we played dutch blitz and watched a movie. Dutch blitz is like multi-tasking egyptian rat-screw and speed put together. It's very fast paced and tons of fun-I got creamed into 3rd place because I haven't played in awhile but still had a very good time. Then we watched Cool Runnings about the Jamaican bobsled team and I love that movie. Especially Sanka.
By then it was about 10:30 in the evening and I was getting a little nervous about my drive home. I knew I was going to be tired, but there was still more to do. There is a Navy thing called ORM-operational risk management, it's meant to create a way to minimize danger and limit bad decisions in taking risks. ORM training was starting to shout at me that I was not making a good decision about driving home so late. However, I was a number of miles from my car because I'd taken a ride with a friend in their car and I could have walked back during the evening in the middle of the movie, but where was the fun in that? When the group needed to disperse, it was still late but I'd mentioned earlier that I'd only eaten some peaches and nectarines. So the momentum of the night continued and we went down to Brown's. It was cool because I didn't even have to suggest it, it was just agreed that fast food was the non-preferred option and assumed that Brown's would be one of the only restaurants still open at 11 at night. Which was way cool, I don't think I've had dinner at a sit down restaurant that late ever. Taco bell sure, and I've had dinner at home that late with family on strange occasions, but never a restaurant. However, I would not recommend it at least on the first floor because conversation was difficult with loud music blaring at the other end of the bar.
Chemistry is a weird thing. Sometimes you care specifically for a person and find you can hardly talk to them and you can't figure out if it's because you're guarding yourself and them or you just don't have much in common to talk about. Other times, you find someone that you're naturally attracted to and have little difficulty in being able to talk about a huge assortment of topics. There's those friends where you don't have to talk all the time but when you do, you can just pick up where you left off and you still feel totally comfortable with them even after a break. I go back to remembering when I had a friend freshmen year and that's all we were, we would take a lot of walks at post midnight times, called during vacations and were there during tougher emotional times. From that, I learned that it's pretty much impossible to spend long term one on one with someone and not have those heartstrings develop that will have to be dealt with at some time or another. Focused attention always creates expectations. I also learned that even if physicalness is left out of it, that intimacy can still develop. It can suck.
Another element is that I've known since I got accepted into the military and wanted to go subs, I pretty much assumed that long term relationships were going to be virtually unattainable with a college girl since most of them are career driven and pretty much incompatible with a guy that moves every couple of months or years. And then it's even more sucktacular because I would have to be the kind for which short-term, recreational dating is something I've always disagreed with. Rock and a hard place. But back to the main topic at hand, when I find myself in a small group and we spontaneously decide to do something out of the ordinary like dinner at eleven at night at then climbing pipes and machinery to get to hard to reach places then sitting on the roof overlooking campus and shooting the breeze, including that mental math trick I started with, that's pretty cool. For someone who never goes out on traditional dates, I appreciate those moments tremendously more than I think most people do. And speaking of roofs, I'll readily admit that climbing high places is one of my weaknesses. They're difficult but rewarding and my achilles heel. Onwards and upwards!
Oh, and lastly, I always keep a pillow and sleeping bag in my car and ended up sleeping in my car and got back to CT at 11 the next morning after a goodly amount of sleep. ORM in action and no falling asleep at the wheel.

Yale and other sundries
OWNLIFE-it's a newspeak term from the book 1984 by George Orwell (which I'm currently reading) and had it's base meaning in individualism and eccentricity. In the dystopian world created in the book, anything that suggested a taste for solitude, even going on a walk by yourself was considered slightly dangerous. I must be a very dangerous person then.
I've said before that left to my own devices, I'd probably sit in my room and read or work on the computer, rather nerdy and antisocial of me. I enjoy being with my closer friends but I do not make friends easily, being outgoing is not my typical MO but I typically interact at least intelligently. It doesn't occur to me that other people may enjoy the pleasure of my company. Even in conversation, I'll interject little bits but I prefer to listen to other people talk and learn about them, both from a habitual curiosity and was also brought up to keep a good filter on your mouth to keep out of trouble. So these posts are again out of character and comfort zone for me. So, back to my point, I find a lot of freedom is derived from doing things singlehandedly, the rollerskating of yesterday was due to a whim of being only a mile from home and spontaneously deciding to find a nearby roller-rink and get some unusual exercise. Very spontaneous and not practical for a group with varieties of interests and schedules to correlate.
But back to today, I went on another run and am loving my new iPhone app Nike+GPS . It doesn't require the sensor in the shoe and it's got this really cool feature of showing you a color-coded route of where you ran and the color is associated with the pace you're running at at that location show I can see where I slowed down or set a very good steady pace. I love the applying of numbers and statistics to all the exercises and I find it pretty cool.
Yale was a fun adventure, I listened to the Netflix Movie "Suspicion" by Alfred Hitchcock featuring Carrie Grant and Joan Francis. Classic Hitchcock and Cary Grant was spot on as usual, Joan apparently got an academy award for her part too. However, I didn't really enjoy the story as some of the other Hitchcock works like Rear Window. There were too many pointers and the heroine honestly should have been killed, but Grant played a supreme schmuck. Charming schmuck but a certifiable schmuck so who cares if he's killed anyone or not? He was irresponsible, shiftless, a liar, gambler, and treated his wife as a valueless commodity.
At yale, there was a definite shift in atmosphere. Everything went to the proximity RFID passes on the doors, the architecture is decidedly old fashioned. And I loved the tall structures, tall things appeal to me in general and have for as long as I can remember. I think most people enjoy the uniqueness of a tall perspective but I have a passion for them. The architecture was incredibly classical. It looked like the entire campus was a series of castles. The population went to a decidedly uptick in the percentage of foreign heritage. And since it is an ivy league with a fair amount of environmentally conscious students and people with discretionary income, I saw a large increase in hybrids and convertibles. Altogether, I enjoyed my afternoon there.
It was a good day.

New Adventures
"Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!"-Aunt Mame
For a variety of reasons, which I may expound upon in a future post, I have decided to do my best to make the best of the areas I find myself in and explore. I love exploring. I've made it a point to try and visit at least one new place a week for the last couple months and I've usually made good on it, sometimes multiple times.
I'm naturally an introvert, my comfort zone would be to sit at home and work on the computer or read a book. I still do this, but I've been forcing myself to see my world and experience and it's been very rewarding.
A couple of weeks ago, I started getting into foursquare which is a mobile phone program that takes your position, correlates it to nearby venues, and gives you points based on if you've been to similar locations or that spot before, newer or exotic places being given more points. I use it like a virtual journal of the places I've been going and find it pretty handy.
This evening, I went all over the place, I went rollerskating, I had dinner at a restaurant/bar that specialized in 50's decor and music. Before both of those, I went for a run, swim, tan, and volleyball at a nearby beach. I played volleyball with three guys who, for all I know in my stereotypical wisdom, may have been russian operatives over here. They were fit, decent looking, spoke fluent russian and were very sharp in observing my navy shorts and haircut and tried asking me some questions throughout the game. But they were a lot of fun for volleyball and above average skill. For all I know, they were curious immigrants that I'll never see again.
I've also been using the beach to practice some of my acrobatics, which I've let slip for a little while. I'll find a fairly quiet corner of the beach and start some stretching, then stretch into a back-bend before starting the fancier stuff. Since I've restarted up, along with the normal front and backflips along with roundoffs and back handsprings, I've gotten a lot better at my handstands and also the sideflip. I'm now working on a one handed back handspring.
Can I just say I miss the relatively warmer water of SoCal? The waves and temperature of New England are such that the Canadians might have to actually bring a towel to warm up afterwards. This warm weather boy is not a fan.

XKCD Book Puzzles
So, I've been working on the puzzles in the new XKCD volume 0 book.
Here's what I got so far:
Warning: spoilers so only go if you're stuck:
The page numbers themselves:
Initially, it appeared that he was using base 3 to count each page, but there were significant breaks in what should have been the page numbers. It appears that He follows the base three naming sequence, but will only let a single 2 be in each page number and it cannot be followed anywhere in the rest of the number by a 1. All numbers in the sequence not following this rule cannot be found. It just skips to the next number that satisfies the condition.
End of Introduction:
15 11 1 25 8 5 18 5 23 5 7 15
o k a y h e r e w e g o- okay here we go
simple substitution using the numerical values of the letters of the alphabet.
the only confusing part of a couple seconds was there looked like a space between the 8 5 and 18 5 groups.

Unfinished because it doesn't all make sense but appears to be a substitution.

I'm thinking "just" for the first word, "here" for the second but those double e's are really confusing the heck out of me.

It's a sentence that you have to map your way around starting in the top left corner:

This one was difficult since he was using substitutions between not only letters but also for grammatical signs like periods, apostrophes, etc. He also used a different symbol for a capitalized "W" as opposed to a lowercase "w".

A series of dancing men is shown, I was able to recall from back when I read the Complete Sherlock Holmes.

I then assigned a random letter to each different pose of the dancing men and understanding that I might have gotten the letters correct, did my normal procedure for solving a cryptogram.
It says:

Future Stuff
When it comes to the future, I tend to worry a lot about how things are going to work out. Most people plan things for the future, like what their major will be, what their career will be, wondering who they're going to marry. But most of the time, it seems as though the majority are simply living their lives from moment to moment, not planning more than a week or two usually in advance, the next major assignment, the next mortgage payment, the next paycheck, the next couple of meals that must be prepared for. Sure, people plan a ways with grocery lists, getting wood for winter, preparing the soil for the next season, but these are so temporary in how long they get pondering time in the people's heads, the present takes up too much of their time.
We can see this application of present vs. future with how it relates to our decisions.
Wisdom is the ability to see ahead. The further in time that you can see, the wiser you become. For example, people will always choose the path that they believe is the best overall. Depending on their values, this will change. Some are always looking out for themselves so the best path is what gets them ahead. Or makes them feel good. Some are trying to live a life for God and so their actions are dictated by a combination of what they think God wants them to do, and what they also desire to do and weighing how much they may like to do something and how much God may disapprove of the action. And of course the time element is present again because the amount of time they spend pondering the decision usually improves the quality of the decision in relation with what they think will be best. They can take more variables into account when allowed more time.
But let us return to the point of wisdom being able to take the best path over the greatest amount of time. What are some common things we would consider foolish? Take those that have cheated on a test, done drugs, smoked, or so drunk they can't stand or make a coherent sentence the next day. Most of us would agree, even if you've participated in these, that they may have something alluring to them, but they still aren't smart. Cheating may get you the grade for that extra lab report, but you haven't learned and it will bite you on the final. Drugs apparently make you feel great but they are terribly destructive to the body. What would be considered a wise, or smart thing to do? Get your education, develop a marketable skill, marry a great person. These all take work and aren't always pleasant in short term, but the long term benefits make them very alluring. Can you see the pattern?
One can take the path that is the "best" over the course of a small amount of time-like the temporary high or other great physical pleasure. But they can have long term negative consequences which show the foolishness of them. But when we ponder our steps and try and make the best decision for the longest amount of time, you do your best to be wise.
And I would like to add a question-What events exist over longest time interval of all? Easy, the things that last until we die or beyond that. So, the second greatest thing we can do in our lives and so needs a great deal of wisdom, will be in the choosing of our spouses. It is not something to be taken lightly since the Bible provides very little for means of divorce. And the greatest, most wisest thing a person can do? Have Jesus as their savior since He's going to provide for you into eternity which goes so beyond our comprehension of the extent of time that we still haven't fully figured it out.
I am always pondering the past to foresee the future. I am fallible and I need my God to direct my steps, but with His help, I live with thoughts of the future and take care of the present. I don't worry about the future-if God's aware of when a single sparrow falls to the ground, I think He's aware of my entire future and He's not going to let something surprise Him. A person's future is kind of major in comparison. Matt 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." So, I don't worry, I just prepare. It's all over proverbs that a person should prepare and he's a horrible man if he doesn't. But it just shouldn't cause us to worry about it. Pondering is different from worrying. I did enough worrying freshmen year, it stinks and I don't want to do it again. My faith goes to the Father and I am secure in what He knows will be for my best.

Junior Year
Being that I will be going into my third year of college, I feel hesitant, glad, anxious, but prepared. I put in on my status that I'm a Junior! Eeek!. I'm both glad about it, and scared that the time went by so stinkin' fast. Common observation for the human race but I still make it. I have no concrete idea of what will have occurred by this time next year. I have a few plans but none are ever guarenteed. I know what I want to learn, and I have a few personal goals, but it will not be completely up to me if they succeed. I will do my best though to try and make them happen.
So, although it is not New Years, I would like to try and make some resolutions to shoot for this year.
1. Get above a 3.75 GPA and really try for a 4.0.
2. Conduct an excellent small group for the christian guys so they can learn, grow, and mature while in college.
3. Thrive in NROTC with drill, community service, academics, preparation for the future nuclear interviews, and still have fun with MWR.
4. Be apart of at least one outreach event for my town a week so that means doing either the food pantry, the soup kitchen or both each week.
5. Learn how to do a wall flip.
6. Break a 9:15 1.5 mile run time.
7. Not stay up past midnight every night and never doze in class like I did a couple times. Only on weekends if at all.
8. Read the word everyday.
9. Continue to develop the relationships I have and make new ones where I can.
10. Get more involved with ANS.
All in all, I have my work cut out for me. I don't think I will be able to do everything here, but I'll try and do most of them. I really have a feeling that things are coming to a head, and this is going to be one heck of a memorable year. See you when I'm a senior.
So, although it is not New Years, I would like to try and make some resolutions to shoot for this year.
1. Get above a 3.75 GPA and really try for a 4.0.
2. Conduct an excellent small group for the christian guys so they can learn, grow, and mature while in college.
3. Thrive in NROTC with drill, community service, academics, preparation for the future nuclear interviews, and still have fun with MWR.
4. Be apart of at least one outreach event for my town a week so that means doing either the food pantry, the soup kitchen or both each week.
5. Learn how to do a wall flip.
6. Break a 9:15 1.5 mile run time.
7. Not stay up past midnight every night and never doze in class like I did a couple times. Only on weekends if at all.
8. Read the word everyday.
