Interesting...

Well, here I am again, another late night. I was reading the e-mail and found that there is this website that has the caffeine content of different foods and drinks listed. Check it out at: http://www.energyfiend.com/the-caffeine-database/

I just reinstalled Windows Media Center edition on the desktop. That was a fun experience. Good thing for the Gateway factory reinstall, which made the process go much smoother. I did have to remove a lot of the extra software that comes in the pre-load.

Well, I am doing good, keeping very busy with school.

To another day!

Break and Beyond

Wow, this break has gone quite quick. I went home to Arizona for a week, and then came back to Utah. I was glad to get to go to a Mission Reunion, and see some people that I have not seen in some time. That was great.

Then I fell full into the work of being a Resident Assistant. Checking apartments, setting up new apartments, and other tasks that are crucial to the beginning of the quarter.

I was glad that I was able to pick up the laptop upgrade today. The new machine from the school is a Lenovo (IBM) ThinkPad T60p. So far, after having it for 6 hours now, I think that I will be happy. I was able to disable/remove the Senforce software, which other students had told me was such a pain in the butt. :-) Bluetooth is working, and the laptop has that wonderful 'out of the box' smell that I love, and makes me want to just sit here and code something, or at least blog.

Well, that is my note for the night. I think that I will probably make another before the start of the quarter next Wednesday.

Peace!

Quarter almost done...

Well,
Today was one of the last days of the quarter for me at Neumont University. I just have a test in the morning for Social Psychology. That will be fun. :-0

I have been really glad to be in school, and this past quarter went really well. I did well in my classes, and the GPA is going to show that. I took all easy classes, and had my schedule arranged just right. It could also be that I am just more used to the Neumont Workload.

Last night, I was watching Jay Leno, and saw the bit about the two guys with the same name. They have become good friends after they found out about each other on Google. Well, I thought what the heck, and googled my name. Nope, I did not find my twin, but I did see that I have made it to the top of the searches with my web page.

I used the Office Live site to create a simple web page http://andrewcordes.com . I am using it as a professional resume of sorts. It is not complete yet, but it will be a great addition to my resume when it is complete.

I am now going to continue my study for the Social Psychology exam.

A new blog...

So goes another blog. I have a myspace page, but I never really got into regularly posting things there. I saw that Google had a blogger, I was ready to go with it. I think that one of the things that I need is an offline program, so that I can write the things down and then post them. I will work on finding that.

So the other day, I found out that some in my extended family were having problems with pornography. I was thinking of that situation, and wondering how anyone could let it go that far. Well, I suppose that it is proven that it becomes an addiction. From what I am told, if it continues, their marriage will be ruined, and a family will be broken apart. It is sad to see. I hope that in some way I will be able to offer support.

It is the final days of the summer quarter at Neumont. I am glad that there is a break coming up, and I will be able to have some free time from classwork. That will be nice to have. My plans are to drive back to Arizona, and there spend a week with the family.

Well, like I said before, hopefully, I can make blogging a regular activity. :-)
