Sorry guys! I know it's been quite some time without an update. I'll try to be more reliable.
I had finals for awhile, so I've been a little busy. They're pretty gay. I had to make up some stupid grant proposal for my technical communications class, that took a whole day.Basically all my finals took a whole day to do, along with at least the day before cramming for them.
I did ok for the semester, but i basically beat the system. As most of you know I left UT with a super sucky GPA. None of that matters anymore at UH. They're just transfer credits. @ UH I get a clean slate. Bam got me a 3.5 going strong. I totally beat the system. No one needs to know that I went to UT on my resume. Super awesome.
Bryan gave me his starting strength book. I haven't read much of it. Just the squats section. Also, I don't go to UH since school ended so I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna do these real workouts.
I went to the doctor on thursday. They gave me a tetanus shot and an annual checkup thing. He touched my balls and looked at my booty. Took my blood too. We'll get the tests back in a couple weeks for cholesterol and such. I told him about my wrist and how it hurts.
Our conversation:
Dr.: "So have you been having any problems with anything?"
Nikko: "Yeah I kinda messed up my wrist"
D: Oh how'd that happen?
N: I tried to jump over this metal fence thing when I was drunk, and I landed on it funny.
D: *chuckles* Ok . . . well lemme check it out for you.
N: yeah it was really swollen for like a week, but now it only hurts in certain positions
D: *starts touching my wrist* Hmmm, well I don't notice anything wrong. I think you just need to start working out. Strongers muscles will help prevent these kinds of injuries
D: Do you work out?
N: I used to before I messed up my wrist
Man whatever Dr. Delfino Garcia. What a gay diagnosis. Tell me it's broken so i can get a cast or something cool. Give me awesome drugs. Don't tell me I'm a weakling. You were wearing cowboy boots to work.
Anyway, I've decided to do 100pushups.com. I'm going to couple it with my push-up pro, and make it even better. I'm also trying to play tennis twice a week at least.
I'll update more, and Kathleen graduated. She had an avatar navi speak at her graduation. It was like a speech in Dances with Wolves but James Cameron style. She's coming home tues. EXCITING.

UH Professors
c++
so my C++ professor is this italian guy. i'm pretty sure he knows his stuff, but he's not too good at teaching it. i mean he lectures about c++, then we maybe see an example the last 15 minutes of class. 1.5 hrs of lecture then maybe an example at the end? com eon guy we're in a computer lab. why don't we use the computers? i'm not gonna lie. programming is pretty sucky when it's 9am. it's sucky when your teacher has to go to italy for 2 months, and has some other professor try to teach you things from your professor's slides. programming is cool when you figure it out. not cool when you spend lots of time and don't figure it out.
web design
we got this old man. i think he has parkinson's disease, cause he shakes like micheal j fox. he's super nice, but he doesn't teach us. we learn step by step from a book. if you have this book you can learn dreamweaver.
the teacher is pointless to have. he's also very pointless when everyone comes back from spring break and he says we have a midterm. 120 MC midterm that doesn't really ask us how to use dreamweaver. wouldn't a hands on test to create a webpage or something have been a better idea? couldn't a warning the week before spring break been nice? nope take this midterm. the average was a C.
visual communication
she thinks she's sooo cool. she was a hair model for tony and guy. is it toni? she has so many degrees. blah blah. we do stuff in photoshop and word. most people don't know how to use photoshop so she lets them make their lab assignments in word. in this class we learn the basic principles of design. you know rule of thirds. white space. alignments. the color wheel. fonts.
anyway my gripe with this class was our research paper. we wrote about whatever topic that dealt with digital media. some people wrote about photography. others about how the internet changed the media. blah blah. what we wrote about doesn't matter apparently, because she went on a grammar nazi rampage. 3 errors was a letter grade deduction. bam 10 errors you get a D. she just stopped reading your paper and gave you a D.
basically the content you wrote meant nothing to her. "i only care about commas and run-on sentences" "my hair is better than yours" "i'm a polish grammar nazi. how ironic"
technical communication
this is an internet class. it's suppose to help you write better when you get in the real world. we write fake memos to grandma's about how to use the internet. we wrote some "how to" on some food recipe we didn't care about. i imagine the people in my class doing everything the last minute like myself. so instead of being prepared and thinking about our writing. we procrastinate and turn in rubbish weekly.
the one thing i do enjoy about tech comm is discussions. the prof posts some article about something he finds interesting. then each person can write about if they agree/disagree with the author, or with another students post.
the main reason i like this discussion is cause i make amusing title posts. There was an article i talked about earlier about google making us stupid. for my title i wrote "I R Brite". most people write "Discussion #X" for their titles. i hope my teacher enjoys reading my titles.
Info Management
this class should be very interesting to me. i'm a computer information systems major, so i should love all this nerdy stuff. "oh man this backbone network connects my LAN to your MAN all in a WAN? that's gnarly bro" "oh snap this tcp/ip connection is off the chain" i feel like knowing this stuff is kinda cool on your own, but when you gotta know it cause you're forced to it loses it's luster for me.
perk of info management. we took the midterm last week. now we don't have class for the rest of the semester. just a group project due sometime before the semester ends.
these are my classes. i hate school.
