Week 2...

Well I survived the first "week" of classes, and the weekend that follows it. The week itself was rather boring and uneventful. The weekend wasn't really all that exciting either, but I guess I'll summarize it.
So installing ceiling fans isn't all that fun, but I got the experience of installing two of them this weekend for Liz's parents at their new condo. I managed to hurt my left wrist in the process apparently since it's giving me that nice dull pain which gets worse when I try to do certain things with it. Yay for what is probably carpal tunnel!
Anyways they have a nice place, and now have a ceiling fan for the living room and master bedroom to go along with it.
I tried to order the touchscreen display for the CARputer this weekend but my credit card billing address isn't any address I know of, or at least it wouldn't verify my address with anything I entered, so I guess I need to call them tomorrow and get that fixed so I can try doing that again.
I did get my new sound module for my keyboard though. The shipper had the wrong address number, but luckily it didn't get delivered and I had to just go pick it up instead. When I got it I realized it was U-110 instead of a U-220, but that's ok because this one was cheaper and it has the sounds I was looking for anyways. Now the problem is MIDI cords that are too short. It's a rackmount module but I can't quite get it over to my shelf without running out of cord, so right now it just rests on the floor against the keyboard stand. I figured out how to control sound changes from my main keyboard and program it, so if I were ever to have to perform (yeah right) I'd know how to set that thing up. I do need to open the module up though and replace the backup battery since the check battery display shows up every time I power it up. At least I know what the problem is unlike the old keyboard this module replaced.
So I guess a little bit about my classes. There's EE706, which is completely online class about medical imaging. It shouldn't be too hard as long as I can find a fairly good group. There's a group formation meeting tomorrow evening that I'll be going to. There's a CIS course about VLSI programming which should be cake, and a EE/ME776.01 course about engineering reliability, which will probably be very boring and filled with tons of statistics junk. If I were to drop one it would probably be that one, but then I have to pick up another class or some research hours. At least I don't have class until 12:30 MWF and 4:30TR. So I have the whole morning to do whatever I want or just sleep in (which makes lots of people jealous).
David is being totally crazy though. He's signed up for 23 or so hours of class and I'm sure will be working nonstop. I'm not sure why he's taking so much all of a sudden and hope he doesn't work himself to death. I have a feeling he's trying to keep himself as occupied as possible so the next two months go by fast. Why is that? So he can go see Claire again in China in December. I hope things work out with the two of them. David wants me to go with him. I'm not sure how well that will go over but I'd still like to have the chance to travel over there. Oh well something to think about.
Alright there's some junk to read. I'm going to sleep, so hopefully I don't sleep through the whole morning and I can get some more lectures watched before going to my 12:30 class. Peaceout!
