Lackluster Musings

When I woke up this morning I was please to see that I received an invitation to Google Wave. I signed up to get a Google Wave account a few months ago. I guess I got invited in the second group of people, behind the developers and their invitees. From what I am noticing, if you requested an invite yourself you get 8 invitations to give out to other people, but if you are someone who was invited, you don’t get any invitations to send out. At least not right away. I use the term invitation loosely because you’re really just asking Google to send an invitation to that email address. Anyway, I sent out my 8 invitations already.

When I activated my Google Wave, I only had one Wave contact, this guy from school who I share with on Google Reader. I don’t think I will know the full extent of what I can do with Google Wave until my friends are on there too. For now I am going to do some reading up on it and search the public waves for more information. I also created a public Wave for people in the Phoenix Metro area, although there is no stopping other people from joining in the conversation too.

For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, here is a link to some information explaining what Google Wave is: http://lifehacker.com/5376138/google-wave-101

I have been super busy lately, especially this week. My Linux class ends on Wednesday. I finished and handed in all of the work, just have to show up on Wednesday. Last week my Macroeconomics teacher accidentally withdrew me from his class which totally freaked me out because the midterm is this week and the last thing I need to have wasted time and money. He put me back in again no problem, it was just a pain in the ass. I am so exhausted that I can’t really come up with a real thought of sentence. I am just going to watch my Monday night shows and then go to sleep. Tomorrow I need to go to school and then study study study for my midterm.

WordPress offers a new feature where you can update your blog via email. I think that is pretty neato. I have been having trouble with ecto lately. When I update sometimes it uploads blank. (OMG Dwight Shrute is wearing the Wolf t-shirt!) I’m obviously watching The Office now. Anyway, so this is a test.

So I haven’t written here in about 8 days. I could say I have spent every waking moment of my life doing school work, but that would be a lie. Last weekend to test out how good our faster Internet connection was, my boyfriend and I decided to try something on Netflix Instant play. Usually we get 1-3 bars of the quality of the picture when we watch on the xbox 360. Now we get 4 bars/HD quality picture when streaming. Anyway, to see how it would look instead of watching a movie, my boyfriend chose the first episode of Lost season 1. Neither of us have ever seen this show before. For me it has mostly been because I know I will become addicted from everything my friends have told me and who has time for that? So next thing I know we had watched 5 episodes of Lost in that first night. Somewhere along the way, my boyfriend made the decision that he wasn’t going to succumb to Lost addiction, and stopped watching with me, only to watch every so often and annoyingly ask me to explain what is going on. I would ask him to stop doing this, but he never will. It’s a character trait of his. So now, it’s about a week later and I am almost done with season 2.

I had my Microsoft Access class today for the first time. It seems like it will be a good class. I am not the biggest fan of Access, but I really do need to know it. The instructor was pretty straight with us and said he really just wants us to learn Access and he doesn’t plan on being tricky and ask us weird questions on exams, etc. So I think it will be okay.

I am starting to feel less overwhelmed about this semester, even though I know it wont be easy!

I deleted my previous entry that says otherwise. I just wanted to say that my friend wrote me back and I am happy I sent her an email.
