A lot got done this weekend. I finished season 4 Stargate. Mowed the lawn, set out deck furniture, tore out a sandbox, built a shed, cleaned the basement, cleaned the house and had a grill.
Yesterday was fun. Nick, Maggie, Colin, Gaila, Walter and Adrienne showed up. I did a good majority of the grilling, and I believe I did a good job for the first time grilling without assistance. The burgers were nice and juicy. Nick brought some really good homemade rocky road ice cream he made himself. We then played Apples to Apples, which is always a good game to play with a lot of people. After Nick and Maggie left we watched a few episodes of Family Guy.
At work I will be getting a dollar raise starting July. Since it is the end of the fiscal year in academics, there is a lot of purchasing going on. There are currently four PCs setting getting built for their users. Luckily no Macs at the moment for me to work on. Though, with the end of the year Tom is looking for ways to spend the rest of his budget. This time of the year here always seems like Christmas. Tom got himself a G5, we got a 1U fold out display, keyboard, and mouse unit for the server rack, a new Dell server to replace the current file server. On order for the rack is also and xServe G5 and a 1.5 terrabyte xRAID (DROOOOOLLLL). Also, today I got a surprise present from Tom to use at work. A 250 GB FireWire 800/400 USB 2.0 drive. I will be able to use that in conjunction with the 60 gig pocket drive Tom got earlier to be able to image systems and store backups. This is indeed a day of drooling.
I don't know what happened to cause this problem I got earlier to day with Eudora. Apparently, it was not deleting the messages from the server when retrieving them. Now, it decides that it needed to download all of them again. I got over 1500 duplicate emails in my assorted mail boxes. That was a lot of fun to clean up. I hope I don't have to take care for this problem with other people's machines. Also, my computer doesn't seem to be NetReged in Curtiss. It works just fine elsewhere, but when I plug in at Curtiss I get the NetReg page. It's really not that big of a deal for me here because I have an IP address assigned to me statically, but it gets a little annoying if I need to check on something real quick and I have to change locations.
Today there was homework due in Stat. We just handed in an assignment on Friday and we had another assignment of similar proportion due after the a holiday weekend. I will have to take the late points deduction for this :( . Also, there is a test tomorrow in Stat, so I will be working on the assignment and studying for that test tonight. Yeah for me keeping up with the work that needs to be done for class. I am a lazy bum. How can I motivate myself to do school work?

And what was it that I told you about the importance of having daily assignments and doing them in order to do well in a math class?
As far as motivating yourself, block out a couple hours on your schedule where you will only do homework. Find an effective study environment (away from parents, phone, and Internet) and go there. Stay put until homework is done. If you have trouble with one problem, reread the section for assistance. You could also call someone from your class or e-mail your professor for assistance or go in during office hours. If all else fails, skip it and go on to the next one. No point in blowing a whole assignment just because you didn't get question 1.
