Nerd

My whole life I have been wrongfully been considered a dork... dork - slang. A stupid, inept, or foolish person. It is sad that so many people don’t know the true meaning of the word… I accept being called a nerd or a geek, despite being synonyms for dork, they have a more precise meaning... nerd/geek - n. slang. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept... Geek would probably be the most accurate term out of the three, and therefore it is my favorite thing to be called...

OK, I know I am nerdy, but listen... if you hate pop ups, spyware, and viruses, you should try the web browser Firefox... version 1.0 was officially released this week and it is really really cool... if you don't listen to me you can keep suffering with Internet Explorer... to download it go here... save yourself, download it and try it...

The Sims 2 comes out this Thursday or Friday (the website says Friday, but the commercials say Thursday) I will finally have a life... or at least be able to act one out... I am really excited... the graphics are awesome...

I get paid Friday as well... and I already got some of my money I earned when I was down there... It is all going to pay off my debt that I have for buying my laptop, as well as other computer parts for my desktop... doesn't matter though, I have nothing to save it for or use it for... I'm going to get a $60,000 job when I get out and have nothing to spend that money on either...

I keep feeling like I am getting ahead in school, but then they assign a ton more and I am right back where I was, with a ton to do... I am taking the two hardest Computer Science classes right now... Programming Languages and Operating Systems... Programming Languages is a "history of" course... <yawn> we learn all about the many different computer languages and why/how/when they were developed... in Operating Systems, it is more interesting, but much much harder... we have to do low level programming, aka, disk access, file management, etc... (the basics of what Windows does)

I went out tonight with people in my major, but only to work on a hard assignment for programming languages... it was as fun as doing homework can be... The other week Patti came here and I spent 72 hours straight with her... I have been talking to my other best friend on the phone a lot lately... I might even see her this week if I evacuate to Atlanta... Weekends aren't really something to look forward too, I just sleep through them because I have nothing to do... I do all my homework at work... so weekends might as well be weekdays... at least then time goes by quicker...

I am getting to know people's name in my major... it might be useful someday... everyone sees me as the nerd though, because I "always" do good, and I enjoy programming... oh well...

Its frustrating me that Ivan moved further west... I already boarded the whole house, upstairs and down, because I knew I wouldn't have had time later in the week to do it... it better have been for something... hopefully it makes a big turn and heads straight towards me... assuming everyone would stay safe of course...

Oh well, I organized my thoughts now... time to go to bed...
