*phew*
Alright... after the bad bad evil movie that I hope dies a million deaths and sells not one copy... a real update.
Briefly however as I believe I intend on sleeping soon - even though I have the day off tomorrow, I can't fuck up my sleep schedule too much.
School! Today I finished setting up things at home for school. I have every task I know about programmed into outlook, my schedule is all set up, the folders are all set up for school work at school and I finished my mark calculator today which will allow me to keep track of my current average. Everything is in readyness, once they quit fucking with my schedule.
It now looks like I will have a full day from 8, 9 or 10 (when I start isn't changing at all) til 5 every day except Friday - two of the courses are moving to other days (filling holes in our schedule), one is officially a tutorial class that we only need attend if we need help with our assignments (and usually I'm done mine and checked it twice by friday as they're due on monday) and this leaves one class... which is going to be from 11 to noon on Fridays. So four packed days and a 11-12 class on Friday. Pretty sweet.
So far, to the moment, I've done well on all the assignments. Top marks on what I've gotten back, which is encouraging. I've taken a brief look through the manuals - The programming looks like a combination of VB with Javascript - shouldn't be too hard for me to pick it up; the Web Programming focuses on XHTML instead of HTML so I have some new concepts to learn but the basics are the same. Operating Systems is going to be interesting as I have never known much about the hardware - we're past the basics now. Math... just looks boring. I think the most important lesson we are supposed to take away from this part of the class is that working in bases 2,4,8,16 or any other base is exactly like working in base 10... just carrying on the appropriate number instead of 10.
Courtney, if you're reading this and you haven't already - check out my LiveJournal. There's a private message for you there.
Things are going good otherwise. I'm off to bed soon after writing that private message.
G'night!
