Progress Report

Let me give you a quick report on how my classes are going this semester. I’m pretty much kickin ace and takin names, but it’s early. I have an A on my first geology and chemistry tests. I’m about to finish up my online class which I’m about 90% sure I will have an A in the class overall. Now, I looked at the graduation requirements for graduating with honors. I’m set to get that for sure, unless I completely bomb. My GPA right now is 3.55 and with an additional A it might go up 100^th or 200^th of a point, but I’m going to be about 0.05 – 0.1 points away from graduating Magna Cum Laude. Even if I ace out the semester, I think I will be a little shy of the mark. Oh well..I think with honors is cum laude, but I’m not sure about that. Last night, I had a little chuckle in my Operating Systems class because I got some assurance on a problem I had about 3 years ago. It is very trivial, but I thought it was funny. Back when I was living with Danny, I was taking 1408 which was the second semester of C++. I took one of the labs home and completed it. Once I finished the lab, I started to clean up my folder on my C: drive, but it wouldn’t let me. I couldn’t figure out why this stupid folder wouldn’t let me delete it. I looked into this folder and found there were infinite levels to it. Well, last night, 3 years later I over hear some of the guys talking about some of the machines in the lab. One student, which is like a mini professor because he spent his entire childhood learning about computers and does a lot of work in the CISC lab area, explained this problem with the pcs. He said that they had folders which they couldn’t delete and all had infinite levels. I couldn’t stop laughing and they looked at me and I had told them I had that problem. I told them where it came from, but even they couldn’t fix the problem. They asked me what I had done to fix it and I told them that I reformatted about a year ago, but before that I just renamed the folder ‘go away’. The professor looked at me and said “And that didn’t work!!” It was funny. I guess after reading the story you think that is pretty trivial, but if you only knew how much time I devoted to figuring out what was wrong with it and then just having to cope with it. To finally have closure was like one of those moments when you don’t say anything and you just kinda grin.
