Winding down the semester
Fri, 2005-04-29 17:51 — jrearick
Well, only one more week left to worry about this semester. Here's an update on what's going on.
Tonight, Colin and I are going down to the Jordan Creek Apple Store for the Tiger launch event at 6:00. We may also go see Hitchhikers Guide.
Next week I will be busy studying and taking finals until Thursday afternoon when Gaila gets in town. That Friday we will be gong back up to SD for a canoe trip with the Philosophy Club and say goodbye again for Gaila's May-Term.
As I mentioned before, I will be going to San Francisco for the WWDC this summer. The dates will be June 5th through the 10th, plus or minus travel days. I don't know of anyone else in the area that is planning to be going out there, so I may end up going alone. Perhaps I can hook up with some people on the Student Developer mailing list. I sent out an email to AmesMUG and the Des Moines MUG about it, but haven't heard back from anyone yet.
I will also be taking POM 320 (Production/Operations management) this summer from July 11th to August 5th. I still haven't nailed down my Fall schedule yet. As it appears, I will be getting a B no matter what (if I get a 0 or 100 for the last quiz in final time, it will not change my grade even one step, no chance of B- or B+, just B) in Econ, so I will be able to be admitted into the MIS program here, but I can't sign up for any of those classes yet ARG! I am going to see an advisor on Monday about it, and if the give me any crap I will have them call up my instructor to see that I will, indeed, meet the requirements.
Work has been busy too. I have been putting off a lot of stuff at work in order to do AmesMUG work. Which reminds me, I was the only one to clean out our office space of 7 years worth of books, software, equipment, and other crap. Anyway, I will be taking over the server administration for the Ag College. My first task was to build a web server with mambo CMS so that we can test it. It appears that someone is going to redo the entire College of Agriculture web site. I just pray that I will not have to be supporting this too much, since we really don't do much to help the current person who is doing the site. I also learned a lot about the Red Hat registration system used by the university, since it didn't' work the way it was supposed to the first time.
Anyway, that is about all I have to write about for now. It's nice to finally be able to have some time and not be so stressed out. Also, less than a week before Gaila gets back!
EDIT: There's also apartments to be looking for.
