Well anyway I had an interesting conversation with Jaclyn on the phone today to say the least.
I just got back from the University of Dayton, and I wish one thing, if it were closer, I'd make all of my friends look there and stay a night. At least look there and you'll see why it's such a great college, and takes the experince further than most other places. 3 Stats say something about it: #5 in number of students in intramural sports #5 in number of hours of community done by students #4 Party school (2003 i think)
Yeah. Oh the dean I spoke with, said that I'm in as long as I keep a 3.0 average. He also said a lot of stuff that made me feel special, like the fact that I fit in a category that less than 5% of engineers do, I'm one of the outside the box style guys, and i'm passionate in a different way about it since nobody in my family has tried it before.
So i'm in college!!!!!!!!!!!! (unoffically)
Heres how it looks for me right now:
Dayton/Drexel (Dayton is winning)
Catholic
Everywhere else
Oh, I thought this video was funny, it's a great song.
Hey guys, well nothing too much new, other than the fact that schools is back in session. So anyway that being said, theres a couple things out there on the internet that I've found that can save your ass more often than not, if anything it'll speed life up.
Nothing is more annoying than writing a paper and then being slapped in the face because you didn't format it right. There are some things out there to help you!
MLA Format Templates!
Download these and you'll just have to fill in the stuff in the right places and you'll be good
Well, with MLA covered, lets go into the lesser known world, of Web-Based Applications!, so this is a growing field in the web industry, and there are a lot of great uses for it. Basically what you do is you work on a paper in your internet browser, and don't worry about downloading it and using word. Just type it when you can, save it, work on it again, save it to word or something, format it the way you want (or just copy/paste it into one of the MLA templates) and print it, it makes life simpler if you like to do work at school like me.
Writely - This was bought out by google back in March I think, I've been using it for my word processing primarily since January. I just type it, and no matter what computer I'm on, I know I can access it, it's pretty easy to use, just sign up for an account, or give me a shout.
Google Spreadsheets - Very quite since it was released as a beta, this is sort of like an excel, but online, works the same as Writely pretty much, just save and go. and then export to program of choice if you'd like.
Oh, if you haven't yet, Get a fucking Gmail account. It's getting better by the day, and the best thing is, if your in school and logged into gmail, it's got a nifty chat feature so you can IM while in class. IM me at conor.ryan@gmail.com it's the greatest, and rumor has it, AIM support is on the way. (so you'll be on AIM and Gtalk at the same time!)
Gmail is also great because it's fast, and it'll handle all your files that you need to email to yourself easily.
Have a nice school year ps-my new lay out, feels like Maddox
Well anyway I'm up here at Lake Champlain, borrowing my neighbor's Wifi and looking out on a very nice day today. It's pretty nice out here, I've been fishing and boating, a lot of boating. We have a paddleboat thats a pretty good substitute for a bike, although it is pretty uncomfortable when you get going, and there is no gear reduction either so its not the most efficent thing in the world. Soo at night it gets bored, so I go online. Yesterday I seconded guessed my being on line after I had a conversation with an anonymous friend.
Friend: you, girlfriend yes? Conor: oui Friend: ok Friend: don't ever make fun of her tampons Friend: having a girl bleed on you cause she didnt expect bleeding and thus wasn't properly "tampon"d Friend: is nasty Friend: and shirt ruining Conor: .....EWWWWWWWWWW Friend: yeah on top of that, I just vomited everywhere Conor: that is sickening Friend: yep Conor: i just have nothing to say Conor: speechless Friend: haha Friend: its a life lesson Friend: always make sure she's well stocked Friend: and check her pants before hugging her Conor: so that quote from monty python took on a new meaning Conor: "what are you gonna do, bleed on me?" Friend: haha Friend: yes
Ok, that was odd, I'm just speechless, how the bleep does something like that happen...whoops, *blood everywhere* Well friend, we salute you for puting up with something like that. Everyone in our gender never wants to be in a sitaution like that, but we're pulling for you buddy.
