First let’s start the week off with this gem between me and my friend Chris:
<Blown-Upp> i have a snow day today
<Blown-Upp> but it’s f*cking april
<Blown-Upp> not complaining but like
<Blown-Upp> it’s april
<Blown-Upp> I just had SPRING BREAK
<sherl0k|school> don’t you love our city
Yeah, snow day in the middle of April. That was Monday. Today, we had 60 degree weather. Good going, Mother Nature.
And as much as I love Ubuntu Linux, it’s so temperamental when it comes to using the closed-source NVidia driver. It wasn’t working before, but I had to reboot a couple nights ago so I decided to switch back to it for kicks just to see if it would work. And, it does. I can’t explain it, it wasn’t working beforehand and now it’s working again. Ah well, I have a spiffy desktop again. No complaints here.
Today was spent downtown at the Skills USA Competition. I was grading tests the entire time, 23 highschoolers taking 2 tests each, one being 102 questions and the other being 57. They were both based off the 300+ question A+ exam, so it was pretty tough. Only 2 people really scored well at all, but I’m not really sure the amount of material these kids were taught beforehand. I’m guessing they haven’t learned it all. The upside is that I was able to get a contact for a job, down in the Binghamton area working for the school system down there.
My car comes back tomorrow, I’m stoked about that. Definitely getting out this weekend, that’s for sure..
