Class names

I've decided that I may refer to my only class on Friday by a different name than the one in the schedule ("Connectivity"). Instead, I think I will refer to my two-hour class with Professor Sandstrom as he talks about the nitty-gritty details of plugging things into other things and having them talk to each other as either "Hacking 101" or "Dessert".

Perhaps "Hacking 101" should be the course name as a whole. He's going to be teaching us about packet sniffing, and building firewalls, and likely breaking things as well. I'm tempted, very very tempted, to take my next batch of blood money and head to the mall and get that hat I was talking about.

In class, you can tell which one I am. I'm the one who's generally in black, who's clinging on to almost every word, with the manic Azzgrin on. That comes in two phases, by the way. 'Evil' and 'delighted'.

But the Friday class should definitely be dessert. First of all, it's on a Friday. I've only got one class on Friday. It starts at ten. Plenty of time to wake up. It's Professor Sandstrom, who's a male geek with long curly reddish hair and well-groomed facial hair, over six feet tall, and of the teddybear body type. Deep, strong voice. Really, really, really intelligent. White-hat hacker. Good sense of humor. (I just sent him the http://www.roadkill.net/madmins/CAT509pro.html link. I think he'll dig it.) And it's a good bunch of kids, and it's stuff that I'm very definitely into learning. And then, afterwards, I can just go home and chill, or hit the library...

Yep. Happy Loony.
