May 27

Sorry about the lack of updates over the weekend. I know how many people so rely on my thoughts in order to get through the week. [End Sarcasm] If anyone noticed the lull I’d be quite surprised!

However,  noticed or not, it was there. The lull. Friday was my last post regarding my sad loss, the hard drive. My boss is going to see if he can crack open the casing for me. Then I can see if I really lost anything or if just some wiring from point A to point B was damaged. I hope it’s the wiring!

The weekend went by pretty fast. Yesterday the family went biking. It was fun and I didn’t get as tired out as I thought I would, which is good. I forgot some tools and had to leave Carolyn and Aidan to fend for themselves at the park while I ran home to grab a wrench, but it all worked out fine. I pull The Boy behind me in a trailer, and he seemed to really have a good time. It’s funny though because he always ends up with dirt splatters on his face from the wheel - even though there is a screen to supposedly protect him from such things. But he’s a boy, and boys like dirt.

I’m back in the saddle. It’s hard to blog from home because by time I get to a keyboard it’s around 10pm and I’m not in the mood for thought. I can blog from the office pretty quickly (yay Live Writer!) and it doesn’t disrupt my work.\

Oh yeah - sorry about having no Wallpaper last week. Got busy with school work and didn’t get one together. I’ll have one tomorrow though.

Ok, off I go.

Mar 16

Today I turn in my finals. I probably won’t have them done by the time this actually is posted (I’m writing on an earlier day) but I know I’ll have them done by the end of Sunday for sure.

Fiasco. That’s what this whole school experience feels like. I’m sure I just slipped through some cracks, but man - I haven’t had the best of times.

See, I’m attending the University of Phoenix Online for an Associates in Information Technology/Visual Communication. I’ve been doing this for over a year now. I’ve had about four different consolers. Three different accidemic consolers. I’m suppose to get regular calls from my consolers to insure everything is going well. I barely get contacted. I’ve had some pretty rude teachers (one of which called be a bigot when asked our opinion on homosexuality - you don’t want my thoughts, don’t ask the question).

So I don’t have a high opinion of the school. Just went through a huge deal with their system losing my math final causing me to fail the class. But thing get worked out. I hate the whole ’squeaky wheel’ thing, but it does work. Sadly.

If you ask me about the University of Phoenix - don’t expect a glowing review. I have had some good teachers who seemed to actually be for me and not against me. So that’s a good thing. And I’ll have my Associates this fall, so that also is awesome. But man - I won’t be going back there again!
