Second Week of School Blues

As I sit inside working on homework I can hear an ice cream truck driving by. It is sunny and in the 80s outside. It seems hard to believe that I am back in school. Anyway, it is not all bad. Later in winter I know I will be complaining about the snow and ice - so I am glad for the current warm temperatures.

So here are some solutions for those 2nd Week of School Blues:

• Watch TV or go see a movie (I recommend Princess Diaries 2)
  
• Eat a candy bar (I recommend 5th Avenue bar)
  
• Go shopping (I recommend Macy's or Von Maur)
• Read a book (I recommend Amelia Peabody or Princess Diaries series)
• Try something completely new
• Order a pizza and cheese bread (I recommend Papa John's)
• Make popcorn or something you don't have very often
• Buy a new CD or download a song (I recommend using iTunes)

Note: you may want to do more than one of these things to completely eliminate the 2nd Week of School Blues.

Enjoy the rest of your week. Hope my list helps you get through the week. Well, I have to get back to my homework!

More Un-Randomness

At 7pm this evening Bravo began showing the Season 5 shows of West Wing. Yippee! I really like the West Wing show. It touches on great topics, plus there are some really funny parts of the show. There are some great quotes from the show on several sites. Here are a few:<>

• Memorable Quotes from West Wing (IMDb site)
• Quotes by the West Wing character Sam
• Quotes from Season 5
• Some random quotes from various seasons
• Memorable Quotes from West Wing

Many of these sites also have episode guides and information about the show. For general information about various shows I prefer the West Wing TV Tome site. It is getting close to 11pm! The episode is on again if you missed it at 7pm. Enjoy.

Well, I would have never guessed

Google has a blog?!? I just found this out. Wow. I thought it was most interesting. It is not hard to imagine that there is a Google Blog. So, learn the latest about Google - check out their blog.

Most interesting. Most interesting indeed. So what are you waiting for - check it out.

School Week is Over and Weekend Begins

This semester I have a wonderful schedule. I get done with class work for the week on Thursday afternoon. Although, I have still have to work - but not having classes for some reason makes it better.

Well, work isn't the term I use exactly. I have a graduate assistantship so I have to work 20 hours a week. I do documentation. Anyway, I am a Mac user. I was asked to write out directions on how to use JellyfiSSH. It is a really nifty program if you use telnet, ftp, or ssh often. Basically, it allows you to "bookmark" Unix systems you visit a lot. When you press the connect button it opens terminal. Anyway, if you are like me - lazy and like to avoid remembering things JellyfiSSH just might be a good program for you too.

On a complete side note: I am learning how difficult it is to write down the directions of how to use software. I knew it was difficult from documentation I have needed to do in my undergrad project. However, in those cases I knew the software inside and out. Now, I am going into the lab and playing with the software to figure out how it works so I can write about it. It is different - and challenging.
