Sharing is Scaring

I've had to watch this video for two classes in my grad school life, so far. Everyone else should suffer through it.

A little extreme, aren't we?

In one class, alongside outdated tutorials on how to attach files in Outlook Express and how to send files through ICQ, there is a UNIX cheat sheet.

It looked like all fun and games until the UNIX cheat sheet.

Trying to generate as much work momentum early on is harder than it sounds. This late-summer heat wave is not helping.

When doubling up is not good...

In one of my classes, the professor is teaching two sections of the same class. Basically, she is teaching another class, which is just like the class that I am in. Both classes share the same discussion board on the class site, which could cut down on duplicate questions, but it's not reassuring to find 92 posts in the introduction board on the first day of class. How many "Hi, _____!" posts do you need?!

Being remembered by the prof in this class is probably going to be tougher than the other one. I am not amused.
