busy week...

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but it's been a very busy week for me. I like ICM, for the most part, but it just takes up too much time with everything else going on. And, like I said before, it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't occur right in the middle of the afternoon. The ICM time just pretty much screws up the day for studying. And, now that it's 4 days a week, it really screws up the study schedule. Yes, the stuff we're learning in ICM is important, but AUC just hasn't found the best way to implement the class yet. Unfortunately, we're left being the test class for a lot of changes...none of which have really worked out that well.

On the positive side, things with the IT committee seem to be going moderately well. I've come to accept that things at AUC are just never going to happen as fast as I think they should, or would like them too. But, things are at least starting to change. Although the current IT department restructuring at AUC is not perfect (an invisible to most AUC students), it is loads better than it was. And, the current people in charge do, at least, want to make things better. The people in charge of IT now want basically the same things that we want, and they're developing plans to implement those changes. Now it just remains to be seen which changes the school will allow (or pay for), and how quickly the ideas can be implemented.

Just as a small update for those concerned about the school's current wireless internet issues (which is most of the campus)...change is coming early next week. You shouldn't be without internet for much longer. And, when it does come back, it ought to be a lot better than it was before.
