To Find a TWIRP Invitation

In case you couldn't tell the highlight of my day has to do with my school's T.W.I.R.P. (The woman is requested required to pay) event going on this weekend. Of course I'm saying all of this in pure speculation seeing as how I've hit a rut in my clue findings. First I was supposed to pick one up from my cousin. Well he had a physics exam which took him 3 hours to complete. I know. Well by the time he finished and got my clue to me it was already too late. Two of the clues had left campus for work. So now I wait, wondering how it will all work out. I don't think this was in the original plan, but the mailing service at school failed to deliver the note at the necessary time so now it's all thrown out of whack. Not to say this was a bad idea. On the contrary, I'm enjoying every minute of this.

Other than that the day has been rather uneventful. Chapel was a little strange this morning to say the least. We had the schools local jazz band doing the music today (which I always enjoy) with a few breaks in which Brad (the chaplain) interviewed a new lady on staff (though her name escapes me at the moment...I have a terrible memory). She had a good sense of humor and a lot of good things to say about how the church is dealing with the poverty issue around the globe. Overall it wasn't a horrible chapel (Though I'm sure Miss Mr. Amber Jackson will have a lot to say about it to the contrary). I can see where he is coming from sometimes, but to pick apart every single thing to such an extreme isn't very productive. It shows that Amber Jackson doesn't do much but miss the entire point of most chapels on purpose.

Of course how could I make a Tuesday or Thursday blog about the monotonous and mundane events of the day without mentioning the bane of my existence: Routers and Switches. It's not that the class isn't fun Okay I don't particularly enjoy the class. But my main beef isn't with the material so much as the method in which it is being taught. I can't see how it is we are expected to learn such tough concepts such as subnetting all on our own. I mean, the professors will give you tips and walk you through it when you're doing your lab, but the actual teaching of the concept was not done in a very good manner. It was almost non-existent like the rest of the teaching that had been done in that class. We are usually just expected to read and know it beforehand so we can complete the labs when we arrive. Last time I checked if I wanted to learn all of this on my own I could have just purchased the book or taken an online course. But I digest.

And now we have come full circle as I wait for clue #2 to arrive from work. To end it, here is a quote for the day:

We cannot change the world if we look just like it.

Until next time.
