Well, until Tuesday afternoon, at least.
The first block exam is tomorrow morning at 8am and at the advice of all the faculty and upper class students, I'm going to stop studying now and get a good night's rest. At this point, I know everything I'm going to know by tomorrow morning and staying up trying to learn anything else would just make me exhausted and not think straight while i'm taking the exam. Besides, I think I've got a pretty good grasp on everything. The only thing that worries me is that we've covered a huge amount of information in the past couple of weeks and I have no idea what they'll ask or how they'll ask it. In any case, by Tuesday, I'll know better how to study and how much I really know! No sense in worrying about it now! So.....no more thinking about school for the night!!!
You may have noticed the large red "A" that now resides in the sidebar of my blog. In case you were wondering, it's the scarlet letter of atheism, linked to "The Out Campaign," begun by Richard Dawkins. Of course, this is referring to being out with atheist beliefs...no other nonsense that you may be thinking!! While I don't put too much atheist stuff on here, I am certainly an atheist and think you ought to be too (if you're not already). You'll see things pop up now and then that are related (see Sept. 11th post below).
Sweet...NetStar just dropped the internet connection...again! Fortunately, it was short lived this time and I didn't lose the stuff written above. Speaking of NetStar, they have very possibly the worst customer service in the history of companies. I call occasionally when the internet goes down, which is about once a day or so. Every time I call, I'm put on the phone with some "tech support" dude (i use the term very losely) who is nearly impossible to understand. He insists nearly every time that it is a problem on my side, although it clearly isn't. Then, he tells me that it's working now, so don't worry about it. No explanation, just "don't worry about it." I suppose that's pretty much status quo for the island though. Oh well..... time to rest up for tomorrow!

"Don't worry about it," is about as good as it gets. It reminds me of the socialist rathole that I am leaving when I come to St. Maarten In Jan. You are at the mercy of the kids who surfed the lower end of the curves in high school. The ones that rely on bloated bureaucracies and gov't jobs to skate their way through life while making everything extremely difficult for the rest of us.
IN any event, you have to go with the flow or your head will explode. UNTIL, we are connected or rich enough to buy good service.
