Not letting the sickness get me down December 05, 2006 09:25:48 PM
    
Ok this is getting crazy, I dont know how this keeps happening, but i'm sick again. nothing big, just a slightly sore throat and a rediculously runny nose. these sick swings usually only last 3 days or so, but still, this is like the 3rd time this semester, thats just unprecidented! is it the cold, other people? im taking my vitamines and drinking lots of healthy fluids. i dont know, what ever.
    
I may have been as sick as a dog today, but I try not to let it bother me. I went to class, to work, finnished my DD project with my partner, then went to play some raquet ball. OH OH, funny story about that, the raquet ball. I got to the gym at about 6pm, and when i went to the table to sign out a raquetball court, it was completely booked, and there were even people behind me waiting for the next to come available. I had walked a really long way, and I wanted to get home not too late, so I had to think quick. I noticed under the Squash collumn there were still blanks. I asked the desk attendant, 'so the squash courts are still available?' His responce was, 'Yeah, but those are for squash only.' Full well knowing what a squash court looks like (exactly the same as a raquetball court only the back wall is moved up about 2.5 feet), I still asked, 'could someone play raquet ball in there?', and his reply to that was basically the same, 'No, squash only'. lol, so emediately I said, 'oh, well, i have equipment for both, i'll just play squash then', he then says, 'OH allrighty then'. I signed the sign in sheet, and i was on my way; playing raquet ball ahead of all those people waiting in line.
    
So that wasn't really a big deal, and It didnt take much to get things moving my way, but still, there was a little trickery involved, so does it still count as social engineering?
    
Anyways, everything is done now. All my reports are handed in, projects are done, my contribution to the solar array manual written, DD proj valided, and the DD presentation presented. Only thing left for this semester is one final, and thats over a week away! This is grounds for celebration, thats why I'm not letting the sickness get the best of me. As soon as i got home, I sat down with a cold heffeweizen, and watched a movie. I just finnished the Shawshank Redemption, Damn is that a good movie!
    
I may be free now, but I can't cut completely loose, I suppose, I still have work :-/
