Nov 1

So I thought, hey its November 1st.
Time to register for classes.
However no go.
Nothing was going on so I did a ping and tracert

It looked fine, but it wasn't.

Too, bored!

So basically, I can't seem to stop biting my nails. I figured out why, previously I was quite enthralled in my summer work and leisure time, but once I started classes, I got quite bored. Now I seem to bite without being able to stop.

I am now trying to stop and find other ways to handle my time. Of course I am trying to take notes, but even that gets boring. So I think besides note taking I will also jot down things to write blogs about. Or play tic-tac-toe with myself. I like doing that, except somehow I always lose, I mean sure I also win, but I also lose.

School is back again

So, school is almost upon us again. The fall semester starts on Wednesday. Boo!!

I for one am not looking forward to classes.

At least I only have two classes that day, so it could be worse.

Thursday on the other hand will be worse, I am sure.

Totally Gay UT Tyler, Totaly Gay

SwoopOneCard? Okay, so lets see, over half of college students are in debt, way over their head when they graduate college. Since most of them get 3-4 credit card offers every day. And now the University of Texas at Tyler wants to give every student a Master Card that will hold their refunds, as well as other stuff.

Why? Apparently sending checks, doesn't work?? Also apparently doing a direct deposit doesn't work?? I mean, I though they did since that is what they had been doing these ohh, last three years since I have been here, but now, instead they want to give you a credit card. Well I don't want your God Damn credit card. I want my money in my bank account to spend how I like. I don't want no damn Swoop One Card. OK!!

You Suck!!

The best people in the world

The best people in the world are those that help you, even when they don't need to and you didn't want them to, but they still do.

They could be sleeping or watching TV, but instead they help you study for a quiz in Chemistry.

You are too cool.

You know your school sucks when...

The registration server gets DOS attacks several times just because the student population of less than 6000 tries to register for classes for the next semester.

Is it too much to expect a school to have decent equipment.

I hate this place.

I have been attempting for the past 4+ hours straight to register for class. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten one class added to my schedule for Spring 2007.

I hate this place.

For all I know they've got a Pentium II/III Xeon running their registration server. Maybe only 256MB and a 4 GB Hard Drive. Of course, this is just my interpration based on their crappy service.

I hate this place, but really I don't. I just hate the hassle of registration. Of course, these stupid bastards did this to themselves. They thought, hmmm...lets add to our student population, but get rid of telereg, the telephone registration system. At the time it must have seemed like a smart idea and maybe it saved a lot of money, but let me tell you, it doesn't seem to be working now.

I mean I don't know since I don't have an active webserver, but what kind of minimal requirements do you need to have approx. 6000 users logged in concurrently into a secure session? I couldn't imagine it would be that much. Of course, what do I know.

I mean for God's sake, this school always boasts that it is part of the "UT System!" However, all I can say is that this school does NOT measure up to what I would consider even close to "UT Excellence." If such a thing can even exist. I can't stand it.

Please, if you attend UT Tyler, please respond to this blog entry and tell me what you think. Or better yet, tell the people who maintain Campus Connect at UT Tyler what you think. The email address is campus.connect@uttyler.edu. Feel free to include a reference to this blog entry if you want to. Thank you very much.

O Fortuna c. 1230

Text: 1.O Fortuna, velut luna statu variabilis, semper crescis aut descrescis; vita detestabilis nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo mentis aciem, egestatem, potestatem dissolvit ut glaciem.	Translation: O Fortune, just as the moon you vary your state always increasing or decreasing; 5 the detestable life now difficult and then easy with your games sharpens poverty, power 10 dissolves like ice.
2.Sors inmanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis, status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis, obrumbratam et velatam mihi quoque niteris, nunc per ludum dorsum nudum fero tui sceleris.	Often great and empty, your revolving wheel, 15 an evil state, vain health always dissolving, concealing and veiled 20 you also strive for me now by game, a lost shirt I guiltily take because of you.
3.Sors salutis et virtutis mihi nunc contraria, est affectus et defectus semper in angaria; hac in hora sine mora cordis pulsum tangite, quod per sortem sternit fortem mecum omnes plangite.	Often my health 25 and my virtue are now contrary for me, affected and defective always in torment; 30 In this hour without delay take the pulse of my heart, which through fate, she overthrows my strength: 35 weep all of you with me.

I am here....
