busy and empty
Jun. 22nd, 2003 03:49 pmWell if you haven't heard already, I'm graduatored and have a certificated edumacation. 124 credits and 3 years later, I have two 2-year degrees and am admitted to WWU. I feel... old. EDCC's commencement was pretty good, though the highlight had to be my philosophy teacher freaking out - I hardly remember the woman, and here she is shouting and waving at me. I guess she was proud, good for her. It is a bit strange though, cause it's hardly goodbye. I'm still on campus every day until I ship out. And truth is, I probably complain too much about it. I do have a pretty killer job there, location be damned.
Had a pretty bitchin graduation party last Saturday too, thanks to everyone who showed up.
Last week was very busy at work. While everyone else was lazing around on break, my boss and I had to rebuild 51 computers. Thank you Symantec Ghost, for making this 100% easier than it could've been. Problem for us was not so much the imaging but the delivery... 30 of those 51 computers are in classrooms scattered all over campus, so for the latter part of the week I was mostly pushing carts of computers around. Booooring. I'm told summer quarter is tortously slow for staff though, so I guess I can look forward to lots of web-surfing and movie-watching this summer.
Friday was Gary and Sharon's "youth leaders no more" event. Gary's been my spiritual mentor (and practically a second father) for like 8 years now, so it was pretty special to be able to thank him fully for the tremendous job him and Sharon have done at my church and in my life. They will be missed. The new leader, Lars, will probably do fine but it won't be the same without Gary and his old-man ways.
Saturday (yesterday?!?) was
Whitney's yearly ballet recital. An interesting time as always. She's uncommon good by now, ABT knew what they were doing when they accepted her. She leaves next Sunday for their summer program. It'll be awfully quiet around here...
Which brings me to today. Hopefully will go look at stereos this afternoon, and Clifton might come over and finish what we started WRT his linux adventure. On Friday the poor guy got kicked out of the UW for his bad grades and lost 120GB of data, both in one day. I hope he gets back on his feet again this summer.
