The last few weeks have really kind of sucked, holidays, getting laid off, horrible weather, etc. all took a toll on blogging, and every time I would try and get started again something would come up. Well school started up again this morning and I am trying to get back into the blogging swing of things concurrently.
-Went to the first class for in my ongoing quest to complete the Calculus series so I can move forward on my engineering degree. There may be trouble in River City.
First off only one fairly cute girl in the class so I have no one to try and impress so about half my motivation is gone right there.
Second the class is filled with 13 year old Asian males who all pulled supercomputer style calculators out of their back packs as soon as the instructor started talking. I hope this class isn't graded on the curve.
Third, the instructor. He comes off as kind of an old hippie just rambling thru his thoughts which had all the other students murmuring in disapproval. That was distracting, especially since if they would have been paying attention they would have figured out he gave a pretty good introduction to both 3D coordinate systems, instantaneous rate of change and why calculus is important.
-On the way home Rush Limbaugh was on and although I lost a lot of respect for him during the election season I still listen occasionally. He is predicting that the way Obama is going to generate 600,000 new government jobs is by re-instituting the draft. I kind of doubt that but I wouldn't be surprised to see mandatory government service, ala West Germany, coming down the road.
