Work, Work, and More Work...

So today I worked eleven hours, yesterday was an eight-hour workday and I have a few more hours the next two days. Boy am I looking forward to my next paycheck.

Reinstalled Linux yesterday, gave Windows some space back, decreased my swap space. Still can't fix the screen resolution problems I have, oh well, I'll keep working on it.

Called John Q. today, we talked for like forty-five minutes. I love that guy, I'm looking forward to seeing him during spring break. Only like seven weeks away.

Jan Term break about half way through...

Six More Hours...

Today I finished making up a lab in Emergency Response since I was sick last week. It was backboarding, which I already knew from lifeguarding, so I just showed her and I was done. Then we got to talking about camp, since that's why I was taking the class, and it made me very excited for this summer. I'm eager to see what the Lord has planned this year. A lot of changes means a lot of trials, but it will all end up good. I'm certain of that.

Linux installed, I feel stupid. Better read more, heh! Oh well, that's what six days off of school are for, right? I'll be at my computer more than you would believe this week, trying to get linux stuff to run. That'll be fun.

Aside from all that, I have two finals tomorrow. Man, tests are so much better than lectures.

Jan Term...

Well, I guess it's almost over. I really am sorry I haven't posted a little more often, but hey it's only been a month. Jan Term, the time of year when I take two classes, three hours each, five days a week. Blech! Nine to Noon, One to Four, every day. Oh, and then every Thursday I get to work from Four to Eleven on top of that. Geez, Thursdays are not much fun.

So I'm taking statistics from Dr. Cochran, who is pretty much amazing. I'm going to take as many classes as possible from him during my time here. He's how I would be if I were to become a math professor. Very ADD, might make a comment that would normally be something people would say to get a laugh, but he wouldn't stop, just continue going without hesitation, whether people laughed or not. He beats himself up over small arithmetic errors or copying down a problem wrong...totally me! So I pretty much think he's awesome. Statistics on the other hand is not. It's boring; it's not math. There are five people in there from my calculus class... We sit in the corner and mess around the whole time. One guy just sits there playing Super Mario 64 on his Project64 Emulator. So, the class is kind of boring. The rest of the class is struggling: all those none math/science majors.

My other class is Emergency Response. It's all review for me. I'm already certified in everything they are going to certify me in. So, I sit there with my friend who is also a lifeguard, and we just sit.

Only two more days of that...woo...hoo.

So I recently decided to actually pursue my interest in Linux. I think I'll paritition my desktop, allocate about 15-20GB to Linux and then have at it. I may need some help from a few upper classmen while I get used to it, but it should be a lot of fun.

Well, that should pretty much catch you up. Happy 2006!
