Ranting : Writing SKills
Posted by Compubomb On Aug 31, 2004 @ 4:04 am | Visited ( 252 )
I need to brush up on my writing skills. If anyone has noticed they are a bit sloppy these days.
Need to read some of my old work to extend my legacy as a somewhat decent writer / commentarian(not
a word i know!)

Well, School again as usual from my perspective. This past saturday i recieved in the mail a check
for ~ $167.96 USD instead of the $800 to $900 i should have gotten. This in part due primarly
because of my inability to force or persuade someone to take me to register directly after i
recieved confirmation of my FAFSA. (If your from the USA and have or currently are attending college
will know what i'm talking about) FAFSA is federal study AID for students who are modivated to
attend educational routes in order to improve their quality of life. So...
I got
the check and i went in to see the Financial Advisors about when the rest of my money is comming in
which they replayed `8 to 9 weeks` so.. I'm out of pocket a few bucks, but they told me when i get
the money i should recieve a check for $1,869.95 USD which should be rather nice. I will either ask
my dad to go in half and half on a used car, or I will purchase a pretty nice 6 month old
laptop.
Right now as I speak, i should be asleep
but i opted to stay up and act like a
bumb.

Well, Class has started officially on the 16th of last week. I'm currently enrolled in 12 units
which turned out to be like 336 bucks i think.. it was $26/unit from the previous 2 semesters ago at
only $11/unit. So i'm taking
English 103 with Professor Metz
Math 105
with Professor Wake
Chemistry 100 with Professor Dr. Otiko
So far, I
love english 103 with metz because he is always really upbeat and really just a great professor,
makes everything more enjoyable. Math at first was pretty aggrivating because the first 4 chapters
in my book are horrible with no examples and the professor was being too lax on providing us with
suplimental information for the book. But now everything has started to accellerate at a pace which
i'm used to. My Chemistry class is what i would call a uhm.. dosey heh.. i don't really know much
yet because this will only be my second class since it's only on Fridays. The class starts at 9am to
11:50pm, 1pm to 4pm which makes is an all day class pretty much.. So hopefully this semester will be
somewhat enjoyable...
Life : Upgrades

I finally recieved my upgrades a few days ago. The day i recieved them i had just got out of class
and it was on a friday right after my chemistry class. My friend joe picked me up and the stuff went
to his house well he let me to believe that it had not come that day and FedEx was wrong, well
anyways long story short he was full of shit. He had me look in the trunk for someone he wanted and
i saw the box and he starts cracking up *chuckle*
.
So I get home and
take out the box into my house. I start to assemble the computers and it takes me 1 full night to
put them all together and make sure they all post, then i collapsed on the floor and slept for about
3 hours. My bro walks in room and says get your ass up and finish the job, then i'm up for another
15 hours, and finally finish his system and then go back to bed, still have not finished formating
my system untill the day before school starts which is like on sunday.

Well, It is that time again. Fall Semester is right around the corner, to be exact it's on the 16th
in which school starts. This would be my first time back since the semester before last which would
be last fall semester which was my last which i took math, pshychology, political sciense(hated the
professor). This semester i'm going to be taking math 105 which is basically algebra II, Chem 100,
English 103. Wish me luck for i will probably need a little bit of that voodoo.
Ranting : Bored

I know, i know, they say a persons ability to entertain themselves is a quality which defines their
personality. Welp, i guess my personality is one which is not easily asumed. I'm sort of stuck at
the moment using my server box as my work station because my main computer which i use on a regular
basis is not up and running. Even though i'm tryin to get more and more into linux i do not yet feel
compfurtable running it on a regular basis. When i run Linux at this point in time i feel slightly
trapped because i lack my usual working enviornment on top of some of my favorite applications. It
may seem a bit narrow minded but right now i want to go back to windows untill i'm ready to make the
complete jump to linux.
Right now listening to some good drone zone music to take
off the edge. Just cramming in some chill time before school starts up again and i will once again
have to start using parts of my brain which have stayed dormant for quite some time. This music
seems to really sooth my mind as i no longer seem to understand why i'm writing this rant as i no
longer feel bored since this song just came on
hehe

Anyways, my computer seems to have died since the last time i went to friends house. In part i
believe having my computer sit in the extremely hot temperature didn't help which i believe could be
a contributing factor as to why it is having problems at this point. So at first i thought my good
ole seagate 120gb was dying and then i poped that sucker into my file server and what do you know,
it worked perfect with no problems. Then i try tiping the harddrive on different angles which should
not absolutely no affect on it and no problems where my computer you could hear the harddrive
shutting off which was extremely awkward. So my progknosis is that i need to replace the PSU(Power
Supply Unit for those of you who don't know what PSU means)
On another note when
i went to register for my classes for the comming semester at MSJC i found out that my previous
semester charged me back retroactively for the increased credit unit cost which came out to 12 * 7
in terms of how much i owe them now, and because of that i cannot register even though what is
ironic is that i have fafsa which is student aid and it is supposed to cover the cost of my
classes.
One last thing, I went to MSJC SVC campus which is about 5 miles from me
for orientation and i end up finding out that i went to the wrong campus so.. that was fun,
