.................................*yawn*.....................................


What a long day. Of course, its monday so i have my normal 8am-730pm day with no breaks, but today was even longer. I had ISA stuff till 915. Oh well....it is what it is...

Management was a thrill this morning, we spent the first 20 minutes getting our asses reamed about our piss poor performance on the mgmt exam. I dont get it. A whole class does poorly on an exam...and its the classes fault. Of course, its not the teacher adapting to the class, its the students not adapting to the teacher. Makes no sense to me. Im starting to lose faith in education....then again, what faith do i have to lose?

Border border border. Classes with a teacher where i actually learn. More labs with overla where we goof around but end up being the first 2 to get our labs done. Or as dr. border says, "in record time". Im digging 442, this microprocessor class. Learning alot about how processors handle bits and bytes. For a geek like me, pretty damn cool. Had a lecture in 486 that taught us nothing, but was more of a discussion on signal transmission. Pretty slick stuff. Too bad its a digital communication class where we are learning about AM and FM transmission. Are those digital? No.

ITS time. Wow, ive never felt more missed at a job when ive taken some days off. I love going there, have i told any of you that? Turning off keyserver for macs today. Had about a hoejillion calls about how to reset it. People thinking their OS 9 macs had died. I love playing the hero with that.

ECT 344. Dammit Bill. Thats all im sayin on that. I learned some more cool stuff about signal transmission today. Like how to encode stereo signals and decode them with no loss. Pretty cool stuff.

After that i got to go with overla to his apartment, saw his girlfriend and their baby. The baby is really cute. Its funny to watch the 2 of them interact together(mike and lindsay that is). Then off to ISA chapter meeting to work on the computers dr border wanted us to build. Like i said, long day. However i did get to talk to him about dr. kolla and my issues in his classes for a while. He didnt offer much advice, but i planted the seeds in his head that im having issues. So who knows, maybe he might be able to help me with some stuff later on.

Mac should be on its way. Mmmmm....new mac. Elo is hooking me up with a used 17" monitor for cheap to hold me over till i can get something bigger and sweeter. Now i need...more ram...and thats it. This machine is gonna be tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight..........i cant decide if i want to run os X server on it...or just 10.2.....or both...i cant handle this.
