10 Weeks to Go!

Thank G-d that I'm done with the last two classes I had. I was taking a class in Linux that about drove me batty. Don't you love it when a teacher barely teaches and then tests you on stuff you never discussed in class? Needless to say, I made a B. I probably should be happy with my grade, but whatever, I'm ultra neurotic perfectionist and I want all A's dammit! I made an A in my Java class, but I'm over layout managers. Sorry, I'll get off of the geek speak now.

So today was my first day of my internship. Too bad half the department didn't show, so I followed around an alumni of my school for a few hours. Found out I'm going to be doing stuff way over my head and using languages I don't know and some new fangled AJAX thing that I don't know anything about either. It will be a good learning experience, I'm sure, and great for my resume. ("Duties included corrupting databases and breaking shit in general. Crashed entire system repeatedly. Said screw it and smoked cigarettes for the rest of the day...") Oh yeah, and they want me to do a bunch of technical writing too. I hope they know this isn't going to be done in 5 weeks, so they better offer me some fat salary & a job at the end of the term. Tomorrow the project planner guy is supposed to be there on time, so hopefully I will get all the gory details of what they have planned for me. I've noticed these guys come & go as they please so we'll see how this all pans out.

Later taters, time to pay attention in class!
