In case ya'll haven't noticed, I've been missing in action around here the last several days. This absence is going to continue until about early May.
I'm in the final exam period here at school. In fact, I have three of them tomorrow evening (back to back to back). The fourth exam is creeping up on me late next week. I have a lot of material to continue reviewing.
The network in the dorms is shot to all bloody hell. My network connection dies about three times an hour. Plus, problems with the servers has caused them to go down a lot lately. So, no real Internet access for me except here at work, which I don't really want to do.
There's also a couple other things going on, but I'll spare the details. Just wish me luck, and I hope to be back after I'm moved and have DSL setup.

Now that's unexpected word choice for you. I suppose, back in Lee's day, the students all kept their noses buried in their enchiridions.

Actually, they're still called eam invigilators today, one hundred years after Lee's time.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

They're called inviligators up here in the oh-so-prim-and-proper colonial territories.

They're called invigilators here too, despite the fact it's just our teachers. Probably get some kind of thrill out of a five syllable title...
