First Day Back to School

19 08 2008

It’s been a whole summer, and most of us are back to school. I’m going to be making the very most of this school year. I’m going to try not to talk all school, but this was my first day back.

I don’t know if you know about this or not, but my school, CFCC, has about 4 campuses. This semester, I’m at the main campus, which is a first for me. This place was HUGE in comparison to the last campus. Needless to say, I was a bit nervous, and even got lost on the way to my first class.

Luckily my teacher wasn’t even available to teach the first class, so I wasn’t technically late. We were actually “taught” by the dean of the Math department.

Enough about the class, you’re here for tech, so here’s the tech part of my day:

In my first class, it was detrimental, I was lucky to get 2 bars on EDGE and the school hadn’t expanded their WiFi to that building yet. So yes, I had a horrible time in class. I then journeyed over to the Student Union building to aquire Wireless. I posted to Qik a couple time, then left due to how loud it was. OUtside, I connected my bluetooth headset, and tested that out on Qik [which btw, WORKS]. Then I went to my next class, which has FAST internet [it's all the teacher talked about, I swear].

Needless to say, my “Database Management” class is nothing but an Access 2007 class. I was actually expecting to learn, more in depth, how to use SQL, you know, the Database that companies WANT people to know. I’ve come to the conclusion that noone actually uses Access 2007, everyone just teaches it so that there’s no progress.

In short, I want 3G in my county. Call me up AT&T, please, I’ll do whatever it takes to get it here.





No Music Challenge [Day 5]

25 07 2008

On the fifth day of my No Music Challenge, I cleaned the house. I wasn’t going anywhere today, whatsoever, so, I cleaned (god, I sound like my mother). Now, I use the vacuum pictured above. As you may, or may not, know Dysons are known to not loose their sucking power over time, this is true due to the EXTREMELY powerful motor inside. It truely sucks (yaay for puns!). Such suckage makes this vacuum 10 times louder than the traditional vacuum. Listening to my iPhone helps a lot. So, since I was in my house, I decided to listen to my Neighborhood on Last.fm (yaay WiFi!). Afterward, I went back to the Pandora app on my MacBook since I needed to clean my room for my girlfriend’s guests who are coming from Ohio and Illinois soon.
