Time Waster Central

Today was the first day of winter semester and boy was it dreadful. The professors all seem pretty nice and all but the same can't be said about my classmates. The class itself was larger than I had expected 30+ students as opposed to my estimated 20 or less. The problem with 30+ students in an IT program is you have a higher chance of having super annoying nerds. That's right I said it super annoying nerds. The ones who make remarks about everything and everyone. I had the ill-fated luck to sit next beside one because I strolled in 5 minutes late *typical*. He was so annoying i wanted to punch him in the face but thought twice about it when I saw a tattoo on his scrawny left arm. That shit is scary Of course feeling sorry for this little douche bag I didn't and probably because I would get expelled too. Seriously though what was he thinking. It was a tattoo arm band the most generic one you could get too.

Other than that classes seemed promising as we went over some of the course outlines. Holy mother of all that is holy is it packed with material. I mean if I compared this to a cheeseburger this would have been a triple no QUADROOPLE Cheesbuger with an extra large side of fries.

Some things I'm excited to learn.

Scripting Language

• Perl
• Visual Basic Script
• Dos batch files
• Powershell

Client/Server Administration

• Active Directory
• Linux/Unix Servers

Networking

• none

I know networking is my major and all but seriously that stuff is dry like 10 day old turkey.

Quotes from today's lecture from a single prof which I thought were hilarious

we call them licensed end users but to IT professionals they're called L-users (pronounced losers)

School computers - drive it like a rental (Never thought of it that way but sure)

Smite me with your +3 marble sword show me your knowledge (oh god wtf prof do I have, first thing he said was he was a uber nerd)
