Been back in school for a week now, and by a miracle of persistence combined with at least one awesome teacher, I got all the classes I needed. If I hadn't gotten into any one of them, it would have cut my financial aid and kept me from going to any. But I got them all! My books are like $400 this quarter, and I had to get them all new. But it's okay. I'm back in school! This quarter is PreCalc I, Intro to VB, and Technical Writing.
My being enrolled in this VB class entitles me to get Visual Studio.NET Professional for free! I'm going to pick it up tomorrow.
It's hard to resist the urge to ask "Is there an Open Source version?" or "Can I get that to run under WINE?" But I do.
Information Society was as good as I'd expected, and not nearly as good as I'd hoped. But I knew that Kurt Harland had turned into and old[er] computer geezery type guy since 1990, and they were neither as old nor as slow as I'd feared. It was fun. Brian hung out with the band after the show, but I went to bed.
Hmm...now that I have essays to write and problem sets due, I'm finding I have less energy for spontaneously doing the exercises in my old logic book and less to say about random entertaining bullshit. It's good that now that energy is channeled into something that is not merely productive (like the logic proofs), but that other people will view as beneficial, eg earning degrees. I'll try to keep blogging at least once a week, though. I know that I'm always happy to go back and read what I've thought about stuff, even if nobody else ever glances at it.
