Dial Up sucks

I'm in michigan now. YAY! But the only internet I have access to uses dial-up. It's taken me over ten minutes to upload one of my final projects for school. I'm really hoping that my connection to the school site doesn't time out before it finishes the upload.

how long does 1MB usually take to upload on dial-up. Anybody know?

My trip up here was rather annoying, but that's okay. I had to get on four planes. I've never been up and down so much in my life. I think I travelled more vertically than I did horizontally. I dunno. I haven't done the math. I've been too tired. Someone do the math for me.

Today has been filled with the tasks required for insulating the attic. It's been a pain in the butt. And we're not done. And we have to finish tonight. yay. It's okay though. When it's done, we'll never have to do it again. And now I'm going to leave. Maybe closing blogger will help it load faster. Maybe.

So i'm in kansas city

So i'm in kansas city and i'm really hungry. But this airport doesn't have a place where i can get food. And i'm really tired.

Fun times

I need to be at the airport in twelve hours. I'm leaving for michigan and won't be back anywhere for a couple weeks. So, check here for daily posts while I'm on my trip. And since I figured out how to send pictures expect some pictures every so often too. Also, if you haven't done so already and are interested, I am now on Twitter at twitter.com/samwall84
so follow me if you like because I'll be making random observations while I'm on my trip and that's the best place to put those.

I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight because I'd probably miss my plane if I did, so I figure I'll just sleep on the plane. It should work. If it doesn't, I'll let you all know. And now I've got to get back to finishing my final projects so that I can turn them in tonight before I leave.

Sweetness

it's not the best picture, but it shows me that it's possible. Expect pictures during my trip to michigan now. :D

This is a test.

internet and such

I have two big project due this week. I don't want to do either of them, but I need to if I want to pass my classes.

The first project:
I have to make a powerpoint presentation convincing an imaginary committee to use my idea in a hypothetical situation. It's rather lame to me because there isn't any information that I can really use. I have to make up stuff. But all y ideas are down on paper now so all I have left is to actually make the presentation. I'm hoping I can do it in under five hours.

The second project:
I have to make a "survival guide" for surviving online classes and life in general. This project isn't as annoying because I'm SUPPOSED to make it my way and use my preferences and all that. So it just becomes a matter of writing down all my thoughts on the issue. And that's all I'll have to do. I don't have to go find stupid graphs or images to put in. I can just make it all text. So much easier that way.

But that's what I'll be doing this week for the most part. YAY!
