Glad to come in

I am sitting here at the Cheyenne campus probably for the last time for IS 101. I have learned alot in this class not only for Information Systems but also learned and developed some new behaviors and characteristics for the better. Before coming back to school I had made a decision that I was going to have a new attitude about applying myself to attain what I knew achievable which is to be an "A" student. I have learned a lot of dicipline in this class and now if I can just focus a little more on detail and remember to spell my e-mail address right I will be golden! The last thing I want to say is Thanks to Albert Wu. His teaching style is exactly how I believe teaching should be taught. Teaching because he enjoys it. I'm sure teaching has rewards of its own. Hope to keep in touch.

Last Time

According to the back of the A1 packet this is the last day we will be posting for IS101. I love school for the experience with all the class mates. Although we didn't get to know everybody in the class very well we still all had some kind of impact on each other for the summer of 2013. I hope everybody achieves what they have set out to gain.

What a difference a weekend can make

Well one weekend near the end of the semester without doing any school work has really put a lot of stress on me. Overall I am really happy with my success in this class. I don't think I will be able to do any more of the bonus assignments. Just plain marginal success would have been a great improvement to my academic career. I am glad to work so hard for this class I am excited to see how I do in the regular school year.

back in town

I went to Laughlin over the week end to a convention at the Riverside hotel and casino. I have been planning this since December. I had a great time. Went to the Calarado River. The water is pretty cold but not too bad. 60 to 70 degrees. The river flows very fast. I made the mistake of trying to play catch with a foot ball in the river.  My partner had over thrown the ball and I swam out to get it and river very quickly went from waist deep water to over 6 foot so I ended up floating down the river for a little while before I could get out. Now its time to play catch up with a couple assignment.

Coach

Over the week end I, and my softball team, won the championship for our division. They decided to make me the new coach. It’s significant to me in many ways. One while my Step-Father was alive he maintained a softball team that consisted of mostly to all recovering addicts for over a decade with the desire to intergrade them back into society in a positive way. Since his passing somebody took it on themselves to make a new team. They named the team after him (Memo's Miracles). The only remaining original members of the team are me and just a couple others. We are starting our third season and I am the third coach. Very few people get this kind of opportunity, I have a feeling of overwhelming gratitude.

Job Interview

Yesterday I had an interview set up for a job at a treatment facility. I think it went well. Being a student helped my case because it shows dedication and the ability to suit up and show up. Another thing I had on my side was that I can empathize with the clients on giving up all independence to try and change your life around. But of course like anywhere now days there are many applications to be looked over. I plan to call tomorrow to see if the guy who interviewed me has any more questions for me. The best thing that I have on my side is that I came highly recommended.

Excel

Anybody ever do something as careful as you can and it just comes out wrong? That’s how Excel is going for me. My final results are EXACTLY the same but I guess I keep using the wrong formulas.

Happy birthday

Its my birthday today. I'm an old man now 23.

New major!

Today I went to the college with my mom to see about changing my major so I can continue my schooling to get a higher level degree. I have to take math placement tests. I need to study for it big time. Are there any math wiz's out there!
