On Continuum, so far, I'm liking "Vultures," "In Repair," and "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)." I can't get into the Jimi Hendrix cover. In addition to the jazz and blues influence on the album, there is a country-like feeling on the track "The Heart of Life."
I think I have my UNIX assignment for tomorrow done. I don't care if it's right or wrong. The whole point of school is to learn. I'm not a master of UNIX, no matter how easy the CS people say it is. Sometimes, I just take longer than normal to comprehend the knowledge needed to know something. Case in point: 5th grade fractions. 
Like in Calculus. I'm having a hard time grasping derivatives from graphs and the concept of f(x+h) - f(x) / h. I don't know why I can't get this,considering I'm taking the class for a second time! 
I just want a B in the class and I never have to see a math class again. However, I can be proud in the fact I aced today's quiz. I'm working on grasping the concepts of the class. I have at least a B in the class at the moment.
Client/Server was short today. The assignment we were to work on was written for VB.net 2005. The school has VB.net 2003 on the computers. The professor was going to help us with exercise on the overhead projection, but since he couldn't convert the instructions to work with the version we students had to work with, he let us go. The class had to go to 2 different computer labs before it was hopeless.
As for the social part of my life, interaction with my classmates was fine today. Before Client/Server, and before the Data Communication class most of my Client/Server classmates take before Client/Server, a few of us were hanging out in the lounge. We were discussing Britney Spears and how her husband just needs to go away from the poor child. We then shifted the conversation to music we listen to. The other Sean pulls out his laptop and starts playing music. That was fun. Renee and I started guessing songs and acts. My big impression of music was made when I asked if Sean had Vixen on his computer. He did! He started playing "Edge of a Broken Heart." I know that song from the first few notes. So, I'm shouting "Edge of a Broken Heart." Not only do I know the song, I know who wrote it, too. (Richard Marx and Fee Waybill of the Tubes). Sean, being older than me, asked if I knew what song the Tubes are best known for. I was able to answer with "She's a Beauty." However, I could kick myself for not saying Roxette, as I thought it was, when he started playing "Fading Like a Flower."
I had a different look today, too. I wore my red sweater today. I found some red bobbypins, so I placed them in my hair. I liked how I looked different. 
I must wear bobbypins some more. They look good in my hair. I also filled out and turned in my application for Omicron Delta Kappa today. For a bum like me, I sure have a lot to place by my name.
