This morning, I was contacted by Columbia University about applying there. I hadn’t considered it before now. Do I actually have a chance? I wish. The school seems pretty appealing to me and I have been thinking about NYC a lot lately. I really like that they have a school specifically for non-traditional students: the School of General…

Fall 2008 grades: I am jumping up and down!
I have been obsessively checking the school website to see what my grades for this semester are. I just checked and I got As in both of my classes! I can’t believe this! I knew I would ace my Information Security class. But I thought I was going to get a C in my C++ class. I thought I would be super lucky if I got a B…
Thanksgiving 2008
Happy Thanksgiving! I had a small and simple, but good meal with my mother. She’s been having some medical issues lately, so she wasn’t able to make her famous dinner. So I tried to help out as much as I could. She baked the bread and cooked the turkey, while I took care of the…
My thoughts on the 2008 election
I am proud to be an American. I am proud of this country. I think we made the right choice for President. Election day Tuesday and the day after were days you could feel such excitement in the air. I went to the polls before work since I had school after work and thought that would be the only chance…
Fall Semester 2008
Here is what I’m studying this semester:
Summer Session I ’08 is Finished
Tonight was my last class for DCOM 101 – Introduction to Data Communications. It was a fast, yet intense course since I took it for eight hours a week (two evening classes, 6 – 9:55 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays) for five weeks. We were lucky to have an awesome teacher. I think that if someone…
Zeroes and Ones
I just completed homework dealing with Binary Code. I had to take decimals and translate them into binary code and vice versa. I’m now looking at everything in Os and 1s. Haha. Did you know that I’m 11010 years old?
Ethernet Cable
You see this? It’s an ethernet cable. I learned how to make both a patch cable and a crossover cable this evening in class. I physically did it and tested them to make sure they worked. I got to use the tools and everything. I didn’t know I was going to be doing all that…
Spring ’08 semester is over
I finished up my spring 2008 semester at school. Last week was finals week. This semester was more of a challenge than last. But I am not complaining. I took Introduction to Computer Programming Using OO and Logic and Comprehensive Databases. The former was a class I went to every Monday night and the latter…
Spring “break”
Welp, spring break is over with and I’m glad. I was so beat last week. You see, I had three times the amount of homework to do and pretty much had to work overtime at my job. I’m not trying to whine about it because I’ll have some extra money on my next paycheck. But…
