intermixture

It's been an interesting start to school so far. I haven't gotten books yet, although, I only need them for one class, so that's all right. Also, I need to change my schedule, but I couldn't find the professor after my classes today... so that will have to wait. I really think I'm going to enjoy the classes though, so that's good, and I got lucky and pulled "BASIC" as my programming language to ... (report on?) but anyway at least I didn't get something strange like "LOGO" or something... hehe.
Oh, also, this weekend I found out that my credit card was reported stolen... then Walmart cut it up... now... really... if it was declined... and it's obviously mine... is there any reason to cut it up??? That's sorta overkill... Great timing though... the weekend before classes start... right when I need to pay for stuff... like a parking pass, or books... heh...

invious

I'm not really sure how the title relates... it's just a cool word.

Today, and yesterday, I worked on connecting computers to our school network. Some have worked pretty smoothly, some quite unsmoothly, but each one is a slightly different experience, which I like. I prefer that they all work in the end, but whether they do work or not, I enjoy learning why they do or don't work.

Also, I really think that whoever it was that first came up with the idea of a evening walk should be given a more affluent position in history books. A nice evening/nighttime walk can be so relaxing... especially when you're with the right person. ;-)

training n stuff

so... training for ITS was ok. The golf cart relays were fun... and the rest was generally informative... much better than yesterday... not exactly exciting though. So overall not as interesting of a day as I may have liked... except for tonight... first Jared my "flatmate" (thanks Kirsten) came and moved some stuff in, then after that a walk around campus :-) (not with Jared). A little cool tonight, but still really great weather, so between that and the company, it was a great time...

so now.. on to sleep... gotta get up for more training tomorrow...

"Done" with class

So.. class is over now, as of friday, but I still have to finish up my project... I'm getting fairly close... so it'll probably only be another day or so until I'm done...

I had a pretty good weekend... I'm still waiting on the tickets for the game though (the game being the Colts preseason game vs. the Bears... which happened on saturday) so they're really not all that useful. So I helped Amy move into Mansfield... nice place overall, a little old, but still way better than any of the dorms.

Also took a nice walk around campus tonight, it's always nice to walk around here at night...

Into the apartment...

Not only am I moved in... but today I got my key!! So now I'm good to go... tonight I'm gonna have to go out and grab some food and stuff... Should be fun. I'm looking forward using the kitchen... Anyway, that's it for now... Off to work on connecting to a database with perl (using DBD::mySQL I think...)

class

Class has been going pretty well so far... learning Perl keeps you fairly busy/confused, but I'm starting to figure it out. Also I'm working for ITS in the mornings, mostly setting up new staff and classroom computers. So anyway, I'm keeping busy.

hmm

well... back to class... it's actually going good, doesn't seem like it'll be too bad. I really even think I'm going to enjoy it. Also Monday night saw 2 movies "Hot Shots" and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", that was pretty fun, both are pretty cool movies...
