In repsonse to [inlink]angryshortkid,25[/inlink]. I don't ever use an away message and that angers a lot of people. I always have AIM on because it is on my cell phone. Even if I am not looking at the cell phone, I leave it on so that when I get back to the phone I can see who is trying to contact me. Luckily, my cell phone has a keyboard or it wouldn't be as great.
Having IM on the go is such a different paradigm than using it on a computer. It is like being a phsyic, never being alone, access to information, and fun. SO for me, I never see any reason to turn it off.

Crazy Jail DreamI had the craziest dream last night that (e:shawnr) and I were in jail for the next twenty years for some reason and were sharing a cell. My cousin christina was there too for tax evasion. It was really crazy because everyone else was really thuggish but for some reason they let shawn and I have laptops. We convinced the other inmates that we could make digital holographic replicas of all the inmates so that we could easily escape. The one part I specifically remember is how scared we were of the showers. Like we kept hearing people screaming. It was a really freaky dream.
Not half as nice as the dream I had the night before where I was in a non-descript big city and foud a box that i had packed away while living in germany. It had about $3000 in it. Then I woke up and had to go to electronics class [inlink]paul,3139[/inlink]. In that dream i was visiting michelle from poetry class last semester alogn with amy adams from arizona and terry. They were mad because I stayed at michelle house too long.

Electronics class sucksSo I am still taking the electronics class that I had to take to graduate and honestly it is boring and sucking the life out of me. I am totally uninterested in it or maybe it is just the way it was presented. We received about 2 weeks of minimal instructional time followed by nothing. I mean work time is fine sometimes but I still am confused about basic stuff and when I ask questions about this basic stuff I get no answers. I am even ok with, "I don't have the answer right now, but let me get back to you." However, that is not even the case. I have had this IR led problem that has been going on for like two weeks. I have directly asked fgor help 3 times with no avail. The one time the professor sat down with tme to try and figure it out, their solution burned out my LED $3 LED.
Having an instructor that is either incapable or uninterested in answering my questions is anything but inspirational. To top it off it is expensive. I have always been someone to work really hard on something but the way it is I am just not into it. Most of the time I ams seirously guessing and trying out a bunch of things and that is no way to make something work electrically. There are deifnate answers and methods for these thigns. it is not like splattering paint on a canvas. Although, bnoth can be used for art, there is no need to involve chaos in electrical manufacturing.
I guess it probably wouldn't take much to do something impressive. Luckily, I am working with jesse , but most of the time that just makes everything more complicated. I do truly enjoy working with him but I feel like anything we do together requires an additional amount of time that I don't have right now.
Maybe, I am stressing for nothing. Maybe it will all be really easy. It's not like I have seen that many impressive projects in the past. I was so exicted when we were working in groups because I went into this just wanting to be the programmer and it isn't working out that way.
