Wow, has it really been two whole weeks since my last post? How lame of me. To all my adoring fans, I apologize.
Lots has happened since then. I got a job/internship. I'm only making $7.50 an hour, but I'm paying for the experience. My boss, who is also president and CEO, is really cool. He's helping me out, teaching me new stuff. The job's fun. It's a nice break, and I'm learning good things. Like, when you're working on someone else's server, they don't like it when you change the registry without making a backup. So, let this be a leson to all of you.
I got to see Cory last week. That was pretty cool. He told Jo and I all about his escapades in Europe. He got blessed by the pope! He boned badger. He got sick of that fine product Amsterdam is known for. And his friend threw and hit a monkey with it's own feces. How cool is that? (Guess which one isn't true. Hint, he really did tell us about his trip.) Fortunately, I got to see him before my work started, otherwise it would have been as nearly impossible as it is now.
Thanks to my work schedule, every day I get back from class, have an hour of lunch, then head into the office, which is a small suite above the Metro Cinemas, about four blocks from my apartment. The proximity is very nice. So, every day, out before 10:30, back after 6:00. I haven't been online as much because of this. Oh well. My fun first three weeks of school with obscene amounts of time have morphed into a long day after which I just want to take a nap. Not a whole lot of extra time. I spend a lot of my not-schoolwork/workwork time recuperating watching TV. That's what it's there for, right?
I started reading Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Grey in the pdf I downloaded. I'm about a quarter through it, finding time on the weekends to read it. Sadly my weekdays are pretty full. Don't know how busy I will be this weekend. My partner and I have hardly started on our two-week comp-sci assignment. The data structure we're to write is really annoying and has some unnecessary variables that'll be a pain in the arse to update. Sigh, such is my profession.
Please people, if I don't update soon enough again, beat me with a stick. Or throw monkey feces at me. Hehe, feces.
PS Who the hell ran an article about the underground file sharing service on campus in the campus newspaper??? Really, of all the stupid, moronic things to do. You only expose, or mention things you want changed / disposed of. Like professors who raise the grades of students who sleep with them, but won't do it for you. Come on, people!
