Spring? Syke.

Well this has been an interesting day. Woke up “on time” (alarm went off at 8, slept in until ~9 when I got up for class), and found out my class was online since my professor got stuck at home due to snow. At that point there was only an inch or two at most on the ground which isn’t much for Rochester, but that was sure changed by the end of the day. So essentially I got to act like my first – and only – class of the day was at 2 in the afternoon :)

 An inspirational technical text from RIT:
Earlier this evening, some email messages going in or out of campus, or to/from Exchange and Google Apps were delayed unusually long due to the weather.
While this doesn’t necessarily make sense, I’d be curious to know the actual details behind the incident. Sleep and homework comes first though.

Minor Dot Update

So I updated this site/blog a while ago when I changed hosting servers with the intent of actually updating it. It’s now over 3 months later (wow, time travels fast) and that same Pardon the Dust posting is still at the top. I guess that’s generally how college goes, no? Around the end of a semester or quarter one suddenly has lots of free time, it stays like that for a while, and then a new session of classes starts and your free time goes downhill.

My general amount of free time has definitely decreased during this spring quarter, and we’re only in the third week. It seems the mixture of classes that I’m taking, which aren’t incredibly hard (so far), have just taken over with work whether reading, writing, or analyzing texts.

2010-3 Courses:

  • Information Security Policies (4050-360)
  • Introduction to Databases & Data Modeling (4002-360)
  • Computer Crime (0501-507)
  • Financial Accounting (0101-301)
  • Cultural Anthropology (0510-210)

Hopefully even though it’s the spring quarter I’ll be able to reprioritize my time make it so that I’m not up until 1 (or later) in the morning on a Tuesday doing homework for a class at 8am that same day. Last I checked this was still possible, right?

Well, I certainly hope so; we’ll see though, won’t we? :)
