And Finished!!!!!!!!

Yay! I'm done with classes and all that crap! Only three finals to go and then working Monday-Friday next week. Then I get to head to Elkhart and work there...woo hoo!

The poster presentation went well I think. I think they should have allowed more time to walk through though because I was at the end of the room and I was late to work and I'm pretty sure there were people late for class because they hadn't talked to anyone yet. I can't remember what else I am supposed to talk about in this final post...so, a summation of my thoughts about the class:

The blog thing was crazy, I understand making one and doing a few posts, but every week is ridiculous.

The exams were insanely long and the wiki study guides were useless.

I had stayed away from Twitter for a reason and didn't like that I was required to have it, though I have kind of grown to enjoy it to an extent.

The technology pitches were a joke and so poorly organized.

The poster presentations were also poorly organized as far as time went.

I was not a fan of the class overall. At all. I will be very glad when it is over and I can only hope that voicing my opinions will not negatively effect my grade because I am only following the assignment. Perhaps my comments will be taken into account for future classes. I don't know. Everything is just nuts. Completely pistachios.

Almost done for the semester!

Alright, so I have soooo much crap going on right now with final papers and projects. We did half the poster presentations for Com 435 on Monday and it was alright. I still think it's ridiculous that we had to tweet about them. I got mine done though and then went to work and then class and then work again and then had to do a bunch of homework. Now, I'm finally done with class and work for the day and have to work on the two papers that are due tomorrow. So hopefully my comment about the poster presenation will suffice for now and count for my technology/communication coment for this post. I'll write again on Saturday about how my poster deal went. Hopefully the next couple of days won't be too crazy, I have a feeling it will be just nuts. Completely pistachios.

Back from Texas...:-(

So I'm back from Texas. Which makes me super sad. But I had a FANTASTIC time. It was incredibly fun. We landed in DFW, flew to Midland, stayed there for the night. Then went to San Angelo Wednesday, stayed there until Friday, went back to Midland for the night, went to Nazareth Saturday, back to Midland for the night, bummed around Midland Sunday, flew back into DFW, flew back to Indy, drove back to school. It was crazy. But awesome.

I don't have much time because I have to go to work, so I'll cut straight to the technology part, but I will update with further details for Ellen later since I know that she is missing me.

Technology:
I got to shoot some targets over break with some guns that I had not shot before. I shot the .22 again and I hit a target about the size of my palm from ~100 yards, I was pumped. I also shot a 9mm pistol and a 30-30...not sure how to correctly write that, but it's a big rifle that has some kick to it. It was awesome, but the technological part that I'm going to connect to it is that I think it is amazing how something as old as a gun is still around and still used for so many years without too terribly much altercation. Yes, they have been updated and modified, but not to any extreme extent in most cases. The inner workings have been a little refined, but if the people that used the first guns were to pick up a gun today, they would still be able to use it. I think that means it is a pretty well designed piece of equipment. Effective through the years. It's just nuts. Completely pistachios.
