Got back to work and school on Monday, from a trip to Disney World and Tampa. The former was fun, the latter less so, if only for the simple fact that I spent a good 12 hours with my face stuck in a porcelain bowl that was never meant for my face.
We got to take the kids to all four parks at Disney this time, with only one ride receiving overwhelming negative reviews from the children: The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Keep in mind that my kids are five and three, yet tall enough to ride on this ride. They were most scared of the special effects, but the look on my son Donovan's face was priceless when the floor dropped out from under us. I'm sorry boys - someday you'll love the ride. Or be scarred for life. I promise.
Work is work. Things are heating up around a new center I'm getting ready to open in libraries at both campuses. We want to help people access our network resources, because they can't do so on their own without us helping them. Funny… I don't think T-Mobile has this problem in their Hotspot locations. If they did, it would suck up all the profits they earn. But our networking team insists that it's easy to get on our network.
School is… well… school. I'm enjoying the one graduate seminar that I'm in, and that I'm required to take for my degree. This is called Comparative Area Studies. It stretches the mind in such a way that I feel smarter all the time. A feeling that is rather short-lived, as 1.5 hours later, I step into a class that seems to have about 15 freshmen, 5 seniors, and 5 grad students in it called Labor and Economic Development. I'm getting quite a bit of utility out of this class, but it really is a content course, rather than a critical-thinking class. Maybe next time I should try to get a special class with the instructor, rather than join a mixed class.
That about does it for now! Pics from the trip will be posted sometime.
