Keldar of Mordom

Today was a pretty good day. I was busy at work the whole time. I spent the first hour researching the Lucene IR some more, but after that I went to some meetings with my mentor. They were good for me to hear and catch up a little on the translation project that I'll be working on eventually. I'm still a little lost as to what we'll be doing, but I know we're working on the searching and archiving part of the new translation software.

After the meetings, I was given a little mini project by my mentor to help me learn OSGI and Apache Maven better. I got it all done. It took me a while because I forgot that if you have a project that contains modules, the main pom.xml file has to have it's packaging tag set to pom instead of jar. I struggled with that error for a good while. But, the important part is that I figured it out. He told me it would probably take the rest of the day to do... I had it done in two hours instead of 3. I guess that means that I am working faster than they think I am. Dad was right. I just need to learn to slow down.

After work, I called my friend Kalysta. It was good to talk to her. I found out all my high school aged friends are back working there again. All of us swore not to go back, and I'm the only one who didn't. It's kind of funny, but I'm glad I'm where I am at.

I found some new music listening to Pandora at work today. Good Charlotte came out with a new cd in 2007 that I didn't know about, and it's really good. I want it. After that, I basically came home and played video games for the rest of the day. I didn't really have anything else to do and my roommates all felt about the same as me. It was a rough day at the start, but Beth helped me through it. I'm glad it's over. I'm going to hate Wednesdays for a while.

I never asked you to change,
Not once did I complain.
I loved you for who you were,
Yet I was the one to blame.

Love me for who I am,
Not what you want me to be.
Love me for who I am,
And we can get along.

If I like you and you like me,
Then good friends we both can be.
If I like you and you like me,
Then we can get along.
