You know...

I'm all for respecting other people's religious views, but WTF, BBQ?!

Should I Stay or Should I Go Now??

It's bad enough that I bombed the exam we had last week, & am currently failing the class with a 38 (WTF?!), now I have to decide if it's actually feasible for me to be able to pass at all.

Looking at the points on the syllabus, & the amount of the project just assigned (100 points) due at the end of the semester, can I accumulate enough points to hold a D average?
I would need a minimum of 79% on everything from here on out... .

Is that doable? I'm really not sure.

And now in the midst of the next crux homework assignment — due in 2 hours — I find myself thinking of all that I could do with the time I'd have if I just stopped spending the time in class, & the hours of frustration outside of class trying to scrape by.

Sure, I'll have to take the class again, next spring, or next year, but will I feel more in control of it then?
Who knows!

A great comic!

A Tale of Two Drives

On the right, a Lacie 20Gb drive I found while cleaning out my closet at work.
It's seven or eight years old, with USB 1 & Firewire 400 connections.
Hot sh1t at the time.

On the left, a new 16Gb flash drive... .

How do they find us?

Really... Our vet says we have a "sucker" light on the roof.
An hour ago, he was scared & shaking - now he's conked out on my lap after a meal & a little play time.
You can see all his little ribs, & you can see all the sweetness in his eyes, too.
I hope that we can find a foster home for him today; I hate the idea of taking him to the pound, but I'm not sure a dozen animals is something that we can do right now.
Anyone in the NRV ready for a little puppy love??
