35, 36, 37, 38. What a glorious amount of days.

35. Sunday.

Today was my day to shine. I didn't have much on my plate. but I ended up doing a lot. kinda. I took the guys in my class to the mall because they wanted some food from the food court and to walk around get cookies.. so, we did that, one guy bought me a super awesome delicious double sided cookie with tons of frosting on the inside (pretty much about a million grams of sugar, but well worth it!!! :) anyways, we did that. I took them back to there hotels and I went to mine.. I had been teetering on the idea of getting the new iphone for about the last 2 weeks. . It had came out this weekend and I was like, hmmm.. should I get one?? I called around to AT&T stores and best buys in the area, no go. They were all sold out, it's a popular device I guess.. So, I decided I would wait it out. but then I got the idea to find an Apple store, they are bound to have iPhones piled up waiting to be bought by me. SO.. I did a quick search on apples website and Wallah.. 92 miles away in the wonderful land of New Orleans was an Apple store.. by now it was about 4:15 and they close at 6 on Sundays.. I had less then 2 hours to drive down there, find the store and make my purchase.. So I hopped in my car and got on the way (also, I had wanted to hit up New Orleans at least once while I was here, just to see how it is doing, two years ago it was still pretty destroyed from the hurricane) I made it down there by 5:45, got inside the mall it was by 5:50 and got in a small line outside the store, I got in and bought the iPhone. What an awesome impulse buy by Brad. Anyways, I am enjoying it. and liking it and no regrets (yet).. I drove back, and hit the hay..

Monday - Wednesday 36 - 38.

Class days are usually always boring.. We learn and troubleshoot the equipment.
Monday we finished up our troubleshooting of some equipment and then tuesday we had to learn the Software of that equipment (basically just reinstalling it if we need to, it took a while though, old SLOOOWWWW computers) so, we did that and then just kinda did nothing the rest of the day.. well, we got prepared to start Full System troubleshooting for Wednesday... Before when we have troubleshot, we have done it in sections, kind of like how a computer has different sections, (the monitor, the keyboard, the mouse, the insides that do all the work... and they all work together to make one big piece of equipment) well, this is a huge piece of equipment with literally thousands and thousands of cables and wires that interface and talk to each other.. Anyways, we prepared for that.. and starting today, we had 7 problems to find.. (this whole system troubleshooting should take us 2 - 3 days) We did the 7 problems in less then 2 hours.. So, we went to lunch and came back and they had 15 problems in the system.. We did those in about 2 hours exactly. We are done now. 2 - 3 days of work in less then a day. Thursday in class is going to be extremely boring and we will be sitting around, hopefully get released early. I fly home Friday now and will be in Utah for 9 days before heading out to Georgia. :) I am very happy about this. anyways.. After class. came to the hotel and went out to Chili's with my buddy who lives here to have a last meal with him before I leave.. Tomorrow my class and I are going to see Transformers, then we all leave. Should be a good last couple days.
Anyways, hope all is well with everyone. BYE..
