Homework
Doing a paper analyzing an advertisement to death. I'm doing the Ford Focus "Dude" commercial. It should be pretty damn good. I'm the shining star of that particular english class.
Thinking about switching to computer science. That's where my passion lies. Wouldn't be able to be in the same classes with my sister then, though, and I'm not a math person. I get behind so easily...
...but oh, do I ever love taking computers to bits, and finding out how it works.
Got to be on the recieving end of a long rant from my sister's computer person friend, the one who hacked into my system. She got jealous. I was just sitting there smiling and nodding, but apparently that was enough to encourage him to talk, just talk, about Linux and Unix and Windows and all that good stuff. He says Microsoft is the place to be; they'll be around forever, but Linux is great. Unix is dying.
He just totally unloaded upon me. I don't know what it is about a newbie with half a clue who'll shut up and listen, but all of these computer-type guys feel that it is their duty as ... well, as computer-type guys, to completely do this whole technobabble thing upon me. When I ask one simple question, this releases more torrents of information.
I could probably make a decent living as a shrink for computer people.
