They reverted back to Ryan's. My father and I went there for dinner tonight. I had a variety of items on the menu. My dad had steak. Ryan's is better than Fire Mountain.

The other day, during the ACM meeting, Jack was telling me he went and spoke to the professor that handle the graduate program in Computer Science. As a result, I know what additional classes I have to take on top of the graduate level classes. Before I'm considered a full fledge graduate student, I will have to take these classes:

• MATH 2072 - Calculus II
• CSCI 2201 - Unix and Secure Web Development
• CSCI 2620 - Discrete Structures Computer Science
• CSCI 2410 - Data Structures and Algorithms
• CSCI 3201 - Computer Organization and Architecture I
• CSCI 3202 - Computer Organization and Architecture II
• CSCI 3321 - Software Engineering

Being that I will have an IT degree, I can get out of entry level JAVA classes that are required. I'd have to take the UNIX class again, but it wouldn't be so hard the second time around. Plus, I hope I'd get another professor for it. I will have to go talk to the graduate coordinator next week about it. It would take me about 3 or more years to get it. I'm not sure if I will get the degree, but I'll try a semester in trying to obtain a Master's degree. At this point in my life, I have nothing to lose. The most I'll get out of it is trying to expand my knowledge with computers.

Thursday night was spent at Lindsey and Chris's house having dinner with them. They have a nice little apartment and one trained little gerbil. We ate, talked, and played with the gerbil. It was quite fun to do something like that. We also watched some TV, like all of David Beckham's time in the soccer game. We were really wanting to watch some baseball. It made me wish I had my own place. That's why I'm so torn about the Master's degree. I want it, but I want my own life, too. Decisions, decisions!

I've been listening to a lot of 80s music lately. As a result, I ordered Chicago - Greatest Hits: 1982-1989 on Amazon.com last night. I got it for about $4.00, including shipping. Cheaper than using iTunes. I mainly got it for "Along Comes a Woman." The 1980s were so simple for me. I lived up in Augusta; I was just a child. I didn't have to worry about college, money, and the lack of a love life. Oh to have that again!
