"I have a technical degree in broadband networking..."

Fellow Readers,

I hope you all are enjoying your Labor Day Weekends, respectively.  Mine has been pretty good so far, but unfortunately has to come to an end early for I have to go to work ON Labor Day in the morning.  That's not so bad though, it's only for four hours, however, my current employer is located in Cookeville meaning I have to go back to school like any normal weekend.  So much for the holiday.  It's okay though, I'm not tryin' to put on any pitty-party or anything resembling such.  From the time I last composed, nothing too big has happened.  One of the main things that happened was the total awesomeness of Tech's Internet completely falling out for ehhh...about three days.  Now, the Internet failing, that's not so much of a big deal I mean the Internet at our house fails every once and a while.  But, this was the entire campus' Internet failing and not being fixed for THREE days.  That must have been some problem to have the whole IT department working on it "around the clock" for three days.  Yeah, that's one of the funny parts:  while the Internet is NOT working, Tech decides to tell us they have the whole IT department working "around the clock" on fixing it via e-mail.  How ironic is that?  Oh yeah, we will all see that e-mail while our Internet is not working.  Anywho, it is time for a little vocabulary lesson.  Let us look at the name of the fine institution in which I call my scholarly home:  Tennessee Technological University.  Okay, begin lesson; Tennessee-the state in which this school reside-let's pass on the middle term for just a second and get back to that in the end, University-cooler name for college, well that is my definition for right now because the proper one is too long-now, we can cover the middle term, Technological-of or pertaining to technology.  Now, how good does it look that a technological school can't solve a simple Internet problem faster than more than half of our school week, especially working around the clock?!  One of these nights without Internet, I was walking back into my dorm to drop of my stuff and I ran into some kid I never had met before and we started talking about the Internet problem.  This kid graduated high school in 2008, however, this is his first year of college.  In his time after high school, he obtained three technical degrees, one being in broadband networking.  I asked him if he could fix our problem for us to which his reply was, "I've tried to go to the IT department to offer my help but when I go up there they are all just sitting around."  So much for working around the clock huh?  The problem was finally fixed on Friday, just in time to go home and not use it. Since then, I've enjoyed a nice weekend of hanging out with my family and our extended family, the Godseys.  Other than that, just the normal weekend.
For the word today, I do not have much.  I am still reading and learning and will not necessarily have a word in every post. Stay tuned for the next post!
Thanks for reading.  Signing off.
