Telling the World Where I Am
This coming junior year, my AIM away messages are going to be the epitome of efficient communication. Through an organized code, they will convey my whereabouts effectively, accurately, and without excess nonsense.
c = class
l = lab
wo = workout
f = dining
s = studying
z = sleeping
hi = socializing (human interaction)X# = where # is the number of times the thing will occur
(#h), where # is a rough time estimate in hours [optional]
- exclamation point is something i’m looking forward to
- pluses indicate concurrent activities
- arrows are discrete activities
Therefore, a day may go as follows:
f->cX3(3h)->l(3h)->f+hi->s(2h)->hi->z(7h)
Breakfast, followed by three classes, a three hour lab, a dinner with friends, two hours of studying, relaxing with people, and then seven hours of sleep.
I will have enough energy to use this for roughly the first three days of school.

Hi I'm Markoe you must be the guy who invented the terrorist threat levels.

Oh, Markoe Markoe, you do make me laugh. Alex, your away messages will be essentially worthless if they actually consist of arrangements of numbers and letters only. Also, they will be completely inefficient, as you will need to spend more time figuring out how to translate your activities into secret code than it would have taken to type "class, lab, mykala's" (which, by the way, is not even possible with your new plan, for "mykala's" does not have a designated letter). Grrrrrr.

Oh God, this looks like some kind of math integral or something. I'M GONNA PUKE!!!!!

This was the worst idea ever.
Thanks for "beta testing" guys and gals. lol!
Justin Why'd I write it Gehring
I prefer knowing where you were heading right when you left with a single word descriptor… IE: "Class" "Sleep" "Food" "Women" "Friends" "Pain" "Gym" "Ass"
You get the idea

Justin: your suggestions are much more reasonable, and likely to be what is written (with the notable acception of a**). My plan was overly ambitious. Just somebody keep me from saying "I can take a photograph of all these locations … and then link them in order so everyone can see where I am." lol.
Busy busy busy!

Imagine the chaos and hysterical rioting in the streets if the original method outlined above had been released upon the unsuspecting online world. I shudder to imagine.

Ok, I must be a math nerd. I got it. I even added to it. And then posted the sum of my life …
