What Did I Learn This Week?

Well that is an interesting question.  What did I learn this week?  Well here let me start you with this:

http://www.sonicwall.com/phishing/

Test your knowledge of phishing as I did and see if you can beat my 9 out of 10.  Also after you take the test it will show you exactly where you went wrong and what to look for so you do not become a victim of scams. 

Also this week we were able to view things on the Wisconsin Circuit Court and some information on Madison properties.

All three links are very interesting and I'm sure one could spend an entire afternoon browsing about the public domains.

Enjoy the links and learning all about the society that is currently surrounding me.

My Mid-Week Weekend: Wednesday

Whoever said college was rough, definitely lied.  Maybe after freshman year??? But definitely not currently.  As of now I am taking a five class and 16 credit load schedule... which somehow leaves me with one class on Mondays and Wednesdays and absolutely no classes on Fridays.  I am able to do this and get 18 hours a week at my job working for the Technology Assistance Center.

Anyway back to the point of the thought: Wednesdays.  I can do basically nothing (which tomorrow nothing will be my laundry as I am out of black socks, which for some odd reason I really enjoy wearing), until noon when I go to class for approximately an hour and a half.  The class that I actually started this blog in.  After that I am free to do as I wish for the remainder of my mid-week weekend.  Which of course I will now have to tell you all about after I figure out what I shall do.

Part of me though is hoping that I am just being naive and that someday I will look back at this post and go "Damn, what was I thinking, college is actually a lot of work."  But until then I will just enjoy my time.  Hell maybe I will stay for seven years.

Informal Formal Introduction

So this is a blog, which means literally nothing unless I put some sort of posts on it and make it seem like my life is a bit more interesting than anyone who may stop to read it.  Scratch that.. I think everyone's life can pretty much be made into a movie (why else would we live? to do nothing?) and a blog is a great way for a person to get their stories out to those that are willing to listen, or in my case read.  I will try to update this as often as I can and actually fill it with tidbits of my day or other things I think I think at the time.  Also this blog was created for one of my Computer Science classes so every now and again there will be random postings of my assignments basically proving to my Professor that I can update a blog and do other computer related tasks.

So without further adieu here are the latest rumors of my demise... (pretty slick and cheesy how I worked that in lol)

My Interests

For my CS150 class I needed to come up with two interests and find some other bloggers with these interest.  So here are some blogs I think you should check out.

St. Louis Rams
http://www.turfshowtimes.com/

St. Louis Cardinals
http://www.vivaelbirdos.com/

Both are very interesting and keep up on the rumors of my favorite sports teams.
