4 Days Vacation Is More Than I Usually Get

So I had a few days off before classes started. As this was 4 more days than I usually get, I decided to sleep in, play video games, and hang out with people before things got back into full swing.
Right now, I have various things I need to get done and am working towards doing them all. Work term report (just needs a little spit and polish now), TigerEvents initial public release (I’ll have a big story on that later), planning the social events on the term (the more I get done now, the sooner things fall into place), various other things…....
But I have decided to cut down. A chair position I was nominated for? Sorry, no time. The Inform stuff I was doing, which included a proof of concept, two presentations, and a DCSI abstract (which reminds me, I need to rework that abstract just a bit before this Friday)? Well, as interesting as it was, I am not interested in the joining it with a 3D engine. As all my work was pro bono, I have decided I can no longer give it the proper attention and would like to redirect my efforts elsewhere.
Classes are good so far. Networking and Crypto are so far just a review of Network Security, but the syllabii DO say they will be covering more. Initiating the Technology Venture (revamped Entrepreunership class) I don’t have an opinion for yet. But having no tests is a plus. Intro to the History of Science? I need to remember to arrive early and get a seat near the front to aid in comprehension.
I’m still stuck with Aliant. Due to wiring Eastlink can’t put high speed internet in my building. No internet = no Sean. But Aliant is slowly getting on the ball. I mean, when people call me, they hear ringing, as opposed to a ‘this number is no longer in service’ message. Too bad I don’t have a dial tone in my apartment. Doubly so as my buzzer is supposed to be tied into my phone. Aliant has assured me that a technician will be by tomorrow and I will be able to make calls. Will my internet be working, or will they have forgotten to connect that again?
All in all, once the above problems are taken care of, this should be a really awesome term. I am looking forward to it.
