Bad news but...

You might see more of me during the summer than you did last semester. So get ready for the aim bot to come on and the "multi-kills" to manifest.

So I commute to NIU now (Northern Illinois University) that is a 25 mile 1 way trip from my parent's house.

I just got done with the semester from hell. The **** kind of hit the fans when I went back to school after a 1 year break from getting my associate. The counselors recommended the 3 worst classes to take during one semester that anyone who already attends the school would only take separately. Go figure... counselors knowing anything good for a computer science major. I ended up with 1 B and 3 A's though... it just meant I had very little sleep and didn't see friends for months on end. I still managed to hold a part time job as well working 15ish hours a week.

The classes were CSCI330 (Unix shell programming), CSCI360 (Assembler), STAT350 (Statistics that is calculus based), and UNIV201 (A transfer student get to know the college 1 credit hour class). Yeah, assembler was a good 15-20 hours a week of homework which made me pull near all night 10 hour program marathons at least 2 days a week. It is a fun time working from around 8-9pm at night to 4-7am. That did not even count my other classes with homework. The only B I got was in STAT350... statistics is a joke. I don't consider that math. Lets just pull a number out our butts and make up a formula to explain how we got it but leave out the explanation.

You get the idea... The good news is that I passed the hardest programming class required for my BA degree (Assembler) and have easy sailing ahead of me.

Oh and for Reckless: I can write programs so got a job available?
