• A Quick Run-Down of My Schedule

  Monday:
  0930-1020: Discrete Mathematics for IT - A completely dull class that seems to be for teaching me how logic circuits do math. Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster that I only have to deal with this class fifty minutes a day.
  1330-1610: IT in the Global Economy - This is essentially a global economics class, as it deals very little with information technology. This is both the hardest class and the most entertaining. The teacher really knows what he's talking about, and actually engages in arguements with the class. He is more about having the class do their own research, then coming to class to talk about what they read about. Last class, we got into a pretty heated discussion about a unified currency.
  1630-1920: Advanced Routing and Networking - This is an okay class. It's a yawn-fest at the start, but it picks up in the latter half when we do the hands-on stuff. Whoo! Nothing is more exciting than hooking up a lab computer to a Cisco router. If we want to go really crazy, we hook up a bunch of those routers to a switch!
  1920-2230: Oracle Databasing - This was the class I was most looking forward to, and now the most dissappointed with. The professor is probably quite capable with Oracle databases, but he is a dirt poor professor. It's most unfortunate, as I love doing databases. Sigh, I guess I'll have to actually study this time.

  Tuesday:
  0730-0845: Business English - Ah... the seven-thirty class. To put this into perspective, I live about fifty minutes away, so that means my day begins at half-past five. Most of the time I have to go to work afterwards, so that extends my day to 1930 plus an after work commute. The Monday-Tuesday bridge is the toughest part of the week. Anyway, the class itself is Business English, where I learn the finer points of memo writing (et al.). As far as I can tell, I need to make each memo as complex and convoluted as possible.

  Wednesday / Friday:
  These two days are just like Monday mornings, only without the dread of the three evening classes. I have my math class, and that is all. Hallelujah.

  Thursday:
  All I have is my lovely English class. Yay.

  This is pretty much why I don't post as much any more. After most class days I have work, and by the time I get home, even if I don't have homework, I am just too tired to be silly. Time permitting, I will try to post at work (like right now), but these probably won't happen very often.
