The hardest Class in my University of Phoenix Master’s Career

Dave, I’m beginning to detect a pattern with your grades. The pattern is still a little fuzzy, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out, soon.
Okay, I’ll say it.... Good job!

Matsu,
I am glad that the pattern that is emerging is one that elicits “Good job!” 
I feel that my resume has three holes, and I am trying to fill them all in.
1) No technical degree
2) Fairly bad grades in my Bachelor’s
3) No Masters
So, a 4.0 on a technical Masters takes care of each of these issues.
I started this 14 month masters on 8/21/07. So, had I followed their plan, worked on classes full time with no breaks, I would have finished around the first week of November, 2008. (2 weeks off at Christmas.)
However, I doubled up on Systems Analysis and Programming Concepts and am now doubled up on Database Concepts and Networking Concepts I have moved that forward 12 weeks. I am considering doubling up on Risk Management and Strategic Planning. If I do, I would finish 6/23/08 - so 10 months for a 14 month degree (while maintaining a 4.0). If I do not double up on the last two, i’ll finish 8/4/08, which is 11 months - still, I think, an impressive feat.
Oh, and Matsu, thank you for noticing.

Okay, i’ve done it and you probably have too, but when google does it…
Gmail… locked up…
“Still working....” it says at the top.
“Unable to reach Gmail. Please check your internet connection.”
I like that. It makes me think it is MY fault that I can’t reach the great goog.
well, I can post this, so my internet must be working.
“And we’re back...”
It now says.
I guess they are…
Nope, gone again.
Oh, back again.
Hmm… bad day to be goog. I guess someone needs to go back in time and send them an e-mail that they are having problems.

NCAA Mens basketball games - go big men!
One of the things I have liked about some of the games this year has been the excellent big men games. I’m currently watching Mississippi State and Memphis right now. Memphis has one of my favorite players this year with Dorsey and a close second with Dosier. Mississippi State’s Varnado is also fun - he tied the SEC record for blocks in this game - and might break it.
Anyone know who owns the SEC record for blocked shots before today?
Dosier fouled out with over 3 minutes to go - that isn’t good.
I wish Memphis could shoot better free throws. Dorsey is less than 40%, for example. The whole team is under 60%.

Do not allow free speech to be hurt in Kentucky
Email Rep. Tim Couch and Jimmy Gigdon and tell them what putzes they really are - oh, and while you are at it, tell them that House Bill 775 is really really stupid and that they are idiots for even considering it and should burn in hell for proposing it. Or, if you think that is too strong, tell them something similar.
