Really. Believe it or not, I would love to one day move to Atlanta. I have spent a majority of my life living in Georgia and I have always seen Atlanta as the hub of Georgia. While I want to move to Atlanta, my friend Laura wants to move to Savannah. 
Maybe I can talk my brother into transferring to Georgia Tech one day.
When I came home today, I had to get on my brother's computer to network the new printer. It's located at his computer station at the moment. After I turned on the monitor, I saw he had loaded a page about building your own PC. It seems he really enjoyed the RAM upgrades from yesterday and hope to build his own computer for his own needs one day. I told him yesterday he should look into computer engineering since it works with computers and he wants to be an engineer.
After I finished the printer networking, I got online and printed a few items about Thomas Lux. He's a writer I'm thinking of using for the subject of my English 1102 paper. He currently works at Tech. Signs? I don't know.
Actually, any love affair I have with Georgia Tech does not originate from the source many of my friends probably believe it came from. When I was a kid and I'd spend the night with my friend Dana, we'd play cheerleading at times. Instead of cheering for University Of Georgia, we would root for Tech.
As for school today, it was fine. In History 1100, the professor made a mention of Upton Sinclair and his book, The Jungle. Many moons ago in my US History class with Mr. Golson, he mentioned that book and described a few scenes from it. For those that don't know, it's about the meatpacking industry, not that I've read the book. I asked was this the book about the meat packing industry. My professor confirmed it and started describing it. Grossed the class out and me, again. It grossed me out the first time I found out about the book from Mr. Golson's class. And psychology, well, it was psychology. It's my most boring class of them all and I don't pressure myself for that class.

About The Jungle: Sure, you can read it and come away that it's about the meatpacking industry. But I think your prof is only glorifying 1% of the book. Only a few pages contain the gross-out details. What the book really is about is how big industry was badly treating the poor immigrants at the beginning of the 20th century because there were no unions and no standards to protect workers and consumers.

When I was in high school, the teachers warned us about the gory parts and told us to skip those pages if we had weak stomachs since that description really didn't add to the understanding of the book.
Of course, I read it anyway. 
And that's why you are in biology, correct, and I'm in computer science/information technology.
