Journal droid_rage's Journal: Subject line irrelevant

Don't really have much to say, but I feel like writing, so I'll subject anybody who happens upon this journal with some ramblywords.

I didn't get into my English class this semester. I procrastinated too long, and by the time I finally signed up, the class was full. So it's just the advanced C++ for engineers and MIS class this semester. Don't ask me why it's programming for engineers, or why it's supposed to be so advanced. Object oriented crap with some logic concepts and we get to learn UML. Yay.
The MIS class is even more thrilling. It's mostly a rehash of intro to MS Office and basic information systems concepts. I could have, should have challenged, but it's too late now.
At this rate, I'll be roughly 300 years old by the time I graduate. With all the recent advances in medicine, I might even make it.
I guess it's not all bad. This gives me a chance to work on some more certifications. I keep planning on just going and doing my CCNA, but the local testing center shut down, and the closest one to my town is a 90 minute drive, and it's only open Mon - Fri, so it'd be a whole day lost to go do it, and it's just not that big a deal for my current job.

Good news though is that I may have a new job! I have an interview for a network security position at a mid-size research firm nearby next week. I meet the requirements, but there are a lot of other applicants trying for this job, as well. I feel good that they're at least interviewing me, though. Makes me feel like I've got a chance. Finger crossing time.
