Counselor on Crack?

To get a form processed to allow me to finish my degree in Spring I had to contact an individual who is identified as the “Academic Counselor for the College of Arts and Sciences”. I don’t know if she is having hump-day blues or what, but she managed to thoroughly screw over every piece of […]

Being Deleted

One of the most frustrating things that can happen in a centralized network environment such as Active Directory is the deletion of one’s user account. I have never given much thought or had any sort of plan in place for the situation of an accidental account deletion, but on Sunday evening, such an event occurred. […]

I Like Compliments

I received my grade and a note from my sociology instructor this morning regarding my 2nd essay test on the lectures. “Very nicely done, Curtis. You corrected the few flaws I saw in your first paper, and honestly aside from some very minor punctuation and grammar flaws I have very little to criticize here…great paper. […]

Love/Hate Self-Paced Courses

I am a little worried about tomorrow. Its just another Monday in the academic term according to the calendar, but for me, it marks the beginning of the last unit of study in my Introduction to Sociology (SOC 210) course. According to the grade book I have 3 more quizzes and one more test to […]

Spider Lilly Close-Up

Spider lilies are really neat looking, especially close up. I haven’t done many photos lately, so I’m looking for subjects to get me back started.

Future Academic Plans

I probably spend way too much time thinking about academics, and the amount of time I spend writing about it is probably just as bad, but there are more things to discuss. This evening I have been looking at my future academic options. I have looked at the degree requirements for a variety of curriculums […]

Withdrawn From Somewhere I’ve Never Been

I periodically like to review my enrollment records with the National Student Clearinghouse, if for no other reason than to make sure that none of my schools have reported me as deceased. Found something surprising tonight while looking over my records though. Apparently NCSU has been reporting me as “withdrawn” for the past 3 semesters. […]

Considering Project 365 Again

It has been almost a year since I started project 365, but unfortunately, I abandoned it around day 120. Now that it is coming back around to that time of year again, I’m considering trying again. I have been pretty lame at the whole photo thing lately, not really doing any for fun, just when […]

Worry About The Test

I just finished my first test in Intro to Sociology and I am a bit worried. I have spent the last 5 days working on and off on the essay test answering four questions. The general idea was that the answers to the four test questions would come from the four lectures that were posted […]
