Facebook DNS failure

I wonder what this means? I really want to update my status on Facebook laughing at the DNS failure. Some people think it's being DDOS (distributed denial-of-service) attacked. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack#Distributed_attack

I hope it's not all erased, though. I would think a backup of all of Facebook isn't a real-time thing.

Anatomeeeeeeeeee

Gah, this anatomy course is so foreign to my brain. It's just looking and memorizing. It takes... eek gad... time! There is some logic, though. Yay for Latin. My head hurts after studying the internal anatomy of the lamprey (which is one weird mofo) and I've got 4 other specimens to go; internal and external. Blah!

Look who it is

Well, it's Thursday evening. I'm sitting at work until midnight with only one class tomorrow. I didn't switch my books out before I left, so I have nothing to do for class, but I thought I'd do something kind of more productive than nodding off to sleep while playing on Facebook.

To get a minor in Math, I took these two classes; The History of Mathematics and Real Analysis I. History of Math is sweet; going from crude, ancient methods to modern ones. Real Analysis is really dry. Proofs, blah! "Prove that the square root of 7 is not a rational number." The word
'analysis' tricked me into thinking it was going to be more fun. I guess I'll read the course descriptions next time?

I thought I'd be swimming in that student loan cash by now, but things have been taking forever this time around. The Bursar's Office says it should be in my account by tomorrow, so I've got my fingers crossed. I've been broke since Spring Break hah, so it's not that big of a deal. I'm glad that the utility company understands, haha.

I'll be done with my degree after this semester. I'm gonna end up with a major in Biology, and two minors in Political Science and Mathematics. Shaaaa! I think of it as a math-science-english triple-whammy (to make myself feel better, heh). Since I took too long to file my intent to graduate, I'll have to stick around another semester before I actually get my piece of paper. It's kind of better this way, so it won't be a lie when I say I have 1 year of management experience.
