Alright, so I'm long overdue for an update. A lot has happened in the last few weeks, although really things seem calm at the moment. I'll categorize the updates:

Funny/Odd:

One evening after getting home from work at around 10:30pm, I brought some food home so that Kristina and I could eat together. The next morning, as I prepared to leave for work, I couldn't find my cellphone. Frustrated and angry, I walked out the door to get in the car and leave. Low and behold, there lies my cellphone in the grass in front of my car! I'm surprised that a middle-school student did not pick it up on the way to school, as they sometimes cut through my yard.

Blunder:

The folks from the Night School dept. at North thought I was teaching some more Intro classes this fall. So the day that class started, they called my house angry wondering why I had not shown up to teach my class. My wife casually explained that I was at WORK. She conveyed the message to me, so that I could call them back and deliver the bad news, which I did so promptly.

USI:

Started classes yesterday, which was interesting. I am only optimistic about 2 out of 4 classes. Programming Languages is studying the design of many different programming languages, imagine an English class devoted to a new type of punctuation and sentence structure stemming from geeky stuff. Elementary Japanese is VERY interesting, because the class is taught entirely IN Japanese. No English is to be spoken, no notes are to be taken. Those are the interesting classes, the ones I'm less than thrilled about are Humanities I and Statistics of Business. I've never been a reader of fine arts, so the Humanities thing has me concerned.

Well, I guess that wraps it up for today, but I think I will be posting a little more frequently. I had to get some school stuff arranged and have been engrossed in Super Mario Sunshine. My PC is now beefed up considerably, and I'm quite pleased with its newfound performance. If anybody would like to help me with some video editing, please contact me via e-mail or telephone (telephone preferred). Tata!
