I’ve just gotten my last paper back, an A.

I’ve completed all coursework necessary for my MA in Mythological Studies.

Onward to the PhD!

that’s pretty much all I’m thinking about right now, is getting a job. I’m probably not going to be completely comfortable out here until I’ve got a job system set upo that takes care of all my bills.

I applied to a job agency yesterday, so we’ll see how that goes.

If all else fails, its back to retail for me. We’ll give it a week before anything drastic like that occurs.

So here I am, “telecommuting”. It feels actually pretty good, and I’m enjoying doing the work on my own computer, with my own tunes playing.

I like working part time like this. Now it remains to be seen if I can get a part time job doing something else to suppliment this one’s income.

Turns out that a “power cycle” is what I needed. And if anyone is having problems with their internet from Paul Bunyan Net at home(as I was for roughly THE LAST TWO YEARS!!!) here’s what you do:

First off, it’s not the router. I know Josh said that it was the Linksys router, but that isn’t the case. It’s working flawlessly now. Instead, what needs to be done when hooking a router to a modem is a Power Cycle.

What needs to occur is to unplug the modem and leave it unplugged for two minutes or so. Do the same with the router. The reason for this, according to the tech guy I talked to this afternoon, is that this will give it time to wipe clean the IP Address received from the isp. Once you’ve plugged ‘em all in again, restart the comps you’ve got connected (either by wireless or by cable) and you should be golden.

Man, I wish I’d thought of that ages ago.

Thanks Wave Broadband!

internet, sweet lifeblood.

Each of the past three nights, I’ve been up at school until 9. Sunday the ‘rents left, and I went up to school to have supper and such with friends, Monday I had class until 9, last night we went to see The Illusionist…I’ve got roughly 3 boxes of stuff left to unpack and a pile of junk that needs to be sorted.

Then tomorrow I can vacuum/sweep, and get the internet in place, and it will be all set. Good times.

Maybe I’ll play some viddeo games? Who knows!

top notch film, and I highly recommend it.

The acting is pretty spectacular, and the story isn’t too much of a rehash. Good flick.
