Back again. Random thoughts.

So I'm doing pretty good in school. I actually find Calculus very interesting but I'm not doing as well as I would have hoped in it. I'm figuring about a 3.0 at the moment. I think I find it so interesting because a lifetime ago (read: 2003) I wanted to become an engineer. That was just a dream but I still hold onto the rements of that, one is the borderline idolatry of calculus. I know what I'm learning is Kindergarten calculus but it's fascinating to me all the same.
Other classes are Managerial Accounting which I currently have a 96% in and Anthropology which is great as well. I like Managerial Accounting a lot but Financial Accounting is terrible. I don't know what to say beyond that. Oh well, I could get a degree in Accounting if I wanted to in 6 classes if I choose to become a double major student but I'll get my BS in MIS and then worry about an additional degree. Speaking of which, another ~12 classes and I can graduate which isn't that exciting to me. Mainly because completion of said 12 classes is still pretty far away.
I bought an XM radio about 2 months ago and I like it. Reception is sort of annoying, mainly because I live where there are no repeater stations but once I get close to civilization, there are zero drop outs. I listen to "The Virus" predominately though I listen to "XMU" and "Ethel" as well. I have the Pioneer Inno which means I can record up to 1 GB of XM content which I like. I can't transfer the songs back to my computers though I don't think I would want to unless they broadcast entire albums (you didn't hear my say that...). Besides, the quality is less than stellar. 64kbs HE-AAC isn't that great though I do find it palatable in most cases, such as on "The Virus" which is a talk channel and 64kbs is possibly even overkill for that. I'm not even sure what bitrate XM broadcasts at but I've read 64kbs. I sincerely doubt it's above that though, and if it was lower, I wouldn't be surprised.
That's about it for the moment. I need to do homework for aforementioned Calculus as well as finish a project for the same class. And watch Top Gear which is currently at 65.0% and should be done within an hour. I love the internet.
