What an odd feeling. Monday I registered for the last two classes I'll ever take. I have a total of three classes left (one writing component, and two psych), but I'm taking one of the psych classes during the summer, leaving the other two for the fall semester. I have mixed emotions about it all though. One the one hand, it's a relief that I have just one more semester left, then I'll be done with all the pointless, stupid required classes. I'll be done with tests, homework, papers, quizzes, and all that garbage. On the other hand though I'm really gonna miss UT. I can't imagine life away from it all. I guess I should be glad I still have a semester left. I love psychology, so that class should be fun. As for the writing component, it's called 'Intro to Web Development' so it should be easy as hell. The part that really caught my eye was the part in the class description that said, "Familiarity with keyboard recommended." rofl awesome. So 6 hours of class and part time work should make for a relaxing final semester. I'm thinking of taking another class just for fun, like photography or studio art. Or perhaps piano. I've always wanted to take that.
Speaking of work, the Flash expert I hired this semester is graduating, which means I have to learn Flash now to help pick up the slack in his absence. So I guess all my sites from now on will be all Flash with retarded 10 min splash screens and crappy music. haha yeah right. It's a mixed blessing really. I would like to learn Flash just to say I know it, even though I am rather anti-Flash, as it is horribly misused 99% of the time. It's a good skill to have, even if it is evil.
The other day at work we figured out that me and two of my coworkers were all in the same CS class back in the Fall of 2000, and now here we are three and a half years later all working at the same place, all having dropped out of CS. One is now a Sociology major, the other a Finance major, and me the Japanese major. Kinda funny how paths cross like that.
With one more week left of classes, the pressure is on. Tomorrow I have to go over to the Rec Sports Center on campus to shoot hundreds of freethrows for a retarded stats project that's due Monday. Thursday I have a paper due for Anthropology on a book I don't have yet. After all that is done, the joy that is finals begins. I'm not really worried about the finals except for the Anthropology one, since that was one of the most boring classes ever and the professor mostly just spouted off long lists of words and crap the entire semester. I really need to pass that class. :|
In conclusion, and on a totally unrelated note, I managed to get a gmail account! (That's Google Mail for you slow peeps.) It's only in the Beta stage right now, so it's not open the public. The only way to get an account at this point is to get invited by someone who has one already. Thanks to Harry I am now one of the elite few, hehehe. And for fear bots harvesting my email for spam purposes, I will only say that my address is fhqwhgads at gmail. You do the math. For those who don't know wth fhqwhgads is, shame on you. I'm out.
You can also get a Gmail account if you are affiliated with blogger or blogspot or whatever the hell it is.
Your schedule looks like an easy load, which is always good for you.
Yeah, that's how my friend's girlfriend got one. Did you get one because of your account?
I was planning to sign up, but I keep forgetting about it.
