Block 3

Technically in class. Not really listening. But it's nothing I haven't heard before.

My computer has come back from the dead! For reasons still unknown, it started freezing, spasming, and giving me the blue screen of death the day after Thanksgiving. Bubba couldn't figure it out. Took it to the IT center at Temple, who couldn't find any viruses on it. I had to take it back the next day so the IT guys could essential kill it, then resuscitate it.

I had most everything saved on my hard drive, but now for some reason it won't load. But my computer works-- and that's good enough.

Was halfway sick and rundown the first week back. I was hoping that they'd ease us into the new block, but it was wild. Reading assignments, daily group work, weekly quizzes.... Which would be as bad if the course wasn't incredibly and frustratingly disorganized!! And the amount of the reading assignments-- I don't understand how they think we have the time to finish it!

At least I'm feeling less sickly. Still got a bit of a throat tickle, and I got an obscene amount of rest over the weekend. I think it was worth it, because I'm feeling a bit more "with it" mentally today. And it was a good weekend to rest, because Philly got its first snow. It started Saturday evening and went all night. There's still a bit accumulated in the grass...

If nothing else, at least I won't have to worry about a midterm until after winter break.
