LAN CLASS NERDS, NERDS, NERDS

Most of you know that at 29 years of age I have decided to go back to school. The building market is just so bad and I have had such bad experiences with it, that I actually don't want anything to do with it. This is sort of a problem since I have 11 years experience building and not much experience in anything else. So school was the logical choice. School is pretty good. I take a math class, intro to public speaking and LAN class. My math class is just a lot of homework and I am starting to get fairly good at it. Like I said in facebook, it took me a very long time to do factoring polynomials. I am now a professional after about 2 hours of homework today and yesterday. My speech class as you can imagine comes fairly natural to me. I like to speak to people and when I have peoples undivided attention, even better. Now my LAN class is my favorite, in fact I think that I have to give it a whole new paragraph.

LAN stands for local area networking. I love this class, it is all about computers and it brings out the nerd in me. In fact I think it brings out the nerd in everyone in my class. I don't believe there is anyone in the class that can dodge the tag nerd. Just take the teacher for example. He was telling us a story about a school that he works on. He said that he took care of the vandal problem they were having in the parking lot by putting free wireless in the parking lot. The cops came and used the wireless at night and that solved the problem. The teacher thought he was quite funny by telling this story and started laughing at himself. As he was laughing the guy with the highest voice in our class, that goes for the women in the class as well, interupted and informed the teacher that according to section 4576 cops are not aloud to have internet connection in their cruisers. This is just an example of the crazyness of the class. I have never felt so comfortable in my entire life. We are all nerds in this class and we bring out the nerd in each other. In this class I have already learned that you call a laptop a "box" and if you have any sense you will buy a Lenovo "box" or a Mac "box". I have neither of these. I am afraid to take my "box" out as I would get a nerd lashing. I think that this class is going to be great.
