Personal Time

I am beginning to realize that I spend a lot of time on academics in my life. I have 18 credit hours this semester. 18 hours does not translate to just 18 hours per week, it is around double that for proper preparation and work on various assignments. I spend more time than I probably […]

Bad Sleeping Pattern

I do not know how this happened, but I am somehow back on a nocturnal sleep pattern. I recall something over a week ago, where I had to get up at 7 am, and then somehow that has slipped now to being awake during the night and greeting the sun from the wrong side again. […]

January 25, 2009 – Academic Outlook for the Week

This week I have a fair number of things going on academically. Digital Photography Studio – I have to get my second project done by Tuesday at 3PM. I have to do a motion blur, which should be easy, given that my instructor accused my first assignment of being a motion blur and not a […]

Freud, Sigmund

Sigmund Freud, perhaps the most widely known and most criticized psychologist ever, is the subject of my Theories of Personality course next week. To me, Freud has always been a bit like the Einstein of psychology. His theories have yet to be disproven, even if they are a little strange. I am very excited about […]

Transcript Delays

I transmitted my latest transcript from CPCC to Gaston at the end of December, December 14th to be exact, and finally today the transfer of credit has appeared. I feel that the entire process has become over burdened and is not as efficient as it should be. CPCC and Gaston use the same common course […]

Toy of the Day: Doom Builder

Having played Doom almost nightly for over a year now, Chris and I are quickly depleting the maps available to play. Based on my own interests as well as that feeling of running out of an exhaustible resource I am looking at the option of building some WADs (a collection of 32 maps/levels) of my […]

Advanced C# Quirks

I am starting to wonder how my C# course (CSC 253) is going to function. First of all, my instructor, who is also the department chair, does not ever respond to my emails unless I send an email to my Computer Programming advisor and ask her to contact him for me, which always gets him […]

Alpine Mail Client

During the Summer 2008 semester I was intruced to an email client at UNC called Pine, a very simple, shell email client. In playing with Ubuntu I have found its modern counterpart, Alpine. It is a really simple email client that runs in the Linux/Unix shell. My only problem with it is that it is […]

Complicated Functionality for GITI

Most things I do in GITI are not that difficult to code, actually, everything I do is very simple code. There is nothing object oriented or even anything more complex than a few simple arrays, it keeps GITI sane to work on to not write it differently (and I’m not sure to what extent PHP […]

Psychology Course Difficulties

I am beginning to worry about the courses I am taking this semester. I am not doing horribly in Cognitive Psychology or Theories of Personality, but I am not doing as well as I would like. I feel like I am putting more effort into the courses than I usually would. These courses are also […]
