Well well... long time no see...
By now most people understnad that im not a frequent updater. But i'll try make this a big update, i got much to talk about.
SCHOOL
........................................
.........................
Lesse... School has been like usuall.. Tests and exams every week and impossible amounts of information to learn and absorb each day. The usuall...
One new thing about school is that there is a teacher that really hates me. :D
Why am i happy about it? Cuz i hate him too...
You see... He has a reputation about him to always make different kinds of experiments on his students. And NO.. not that kind of experiments!
Im talking in ways of teaching.
My class have in social studies. We have our classes through the internet.
He went to new york you see, and is working in a highschool there.
Every monday each week he puts out new assignments on a website which we are to go to and solve and mail to him before thursday.
Dosent sound like a biggie now dosent it? Sounds pretty good even, doesent it?
Well let me tall you that there is nothing good about it!
You always forget about em until sometime late tuesday. And you got so much ells to do (Math, Swedish assignemnts, English glossarys and papers to go through and so on) so they feel more like they are in the way.
Once you get the time to have a look on them you realize that there are like links too 23 pages long article thingys about massmedias influence on the soceity.
Then you read questions or more like the assignment about what i am to do after reading all this and you realize again that the questions themselves are riddle assignments, so you somehow must figure out what the hell the teacher wants me to write.
------------------
4. Varför tror ni detta är en uppgift som ni gör som inledning till avsnittet om massmedias kan presentera objektiva, ovinklade nyheter och källkritik?
------------------
Translated:
4. Why do you think this is an assignment that you do as an introduction to the episode about massmedias could present objective, unangled (<- er.. could be translated in a other way) news and sourcecritics.
------------------
Questions like that drive you nuts.
And he's never happy. No matter how you answer and try to adjust to the way he wants me to answer his assignemtns he's NEVER happy about em!
So why do we hate eachother so much?
Well you can understand why i dont like him.
And the reason he dosent like me is because i, in some of the first assignments i've sent in, have been quite rude. Then i changed that and started mimicing him. Critizising (Whoa many i's) his way of writing the questions like he would to my answers and just simply complaining on him like he complains on us.
Now im not the only one who dislikes him. From listening to the talks in my class nobody seems to like him and his crappy assignments.
We want normal classes... and we have the right to change that if we want. Since it says in some law or paper or somethign that we students can choose our own way of getting eduction the way we want to.
So we sent an complaint to him with different kinds of remarks taht we want changed it the classes are to continue like this. And since i sort of been critizing his assingments so much he believes i was the leader and spearhead of that operation. So he's directing his anger at me. :P
Well... Enough of that... i can babble on and on about it and try to explain it all. But it's kinda hard to make it sound right.
That teacher really isnt doing any good...
LAN
........................................
................................
Yes... what is a LAN? Some people ask...
It's a Local area network i answer.
And what the hell is that? They ask...
And i answer with this picture.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14038(Im in there somewhere)
Yes... a bunch of sweaty computer nerds in the same room downloading and playing games night and day, living only on Pizza and variouse bevareges.
Naw... we arent sweaty... it was kinda cold for some people. But the rest is true.
This was my first lan. And i was really nervouse about it.
How would i get my computer there? What if something breaks? What if i get a virus?
Basically a bunch of "What if's".
At one moment is was ready of backing out, but my friends kept coaxing me about how great and fun it is. So they talked back into it again.
I got there alright, dads wife gave me a ride. I hade some problem getting my computer screen in. Since dad had insisted on that i transport it in it's original box, which is kinda huge.
Anyway, after much messing around with getting the computer in place (im bringing a smaller screen next time... WITHOUT A BOX).
After booting up the computer and getting internet working alsmot instantly i get the blaster worm. Wheeee!
Someone on the network had it... and it spread quickly. Soon my friend to my right among some others got it, and then i heard some cries of agony from the second room. (There were two rooms... obviusly :D)
Things looked grimm there for a while, but one guy, who i dont remember who it was, came to the rescue with a patch and a anti-virus program. Which fixed it. And all was good.
The following two days were filled with downloading and computer gaming. There were some tournamnets too. And i got 3rd place in Warcraft 3: Frozen throne.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14006(Me: right Russian friend: Left. No wait! otherway around! Yeah...)
And 1st place with my team in Halo!
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14196(Ugly guy in the middle)
I slept 4 hours and "gamed" 20 hours each day. From Friday to Sunday morning.
Damn... im such a nerd ¬¬
Anyway! Fear not... We were not constantly glued to the computers. We had some fun Non-computer competitions from around 03:00- 05:00 on sunday.
One was the coke drinking contest.
Each team consisted of 3 people. And they had to as quickly as possible to empty a crate of coke. It was calculated to be something around 2.5 liters of coke for each in the team.
I wasent in this contest. Although drinking alot of coke seems nice, but drinking ALOT like that was over my limmit. So worked on cheering wildly on my friends instead.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14135(Look at that wild cheering! ME: Grey SHOES)
Hmm.. in that pic dosent look like the event had a big audience. But it had!
Things didnt go very well for my team.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14148 After the coke drinking contest where my mates eventually got 2nd out of three teams :P
There was contest of who could throw a network card closest to a tree stump.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14152(A very informative pic)
For some reason i wasent in that one either... dont ask me why... I was abit tired so i didnt realize everyone could enter the contest.
Anyway!
The distance was pretty long. About 20 meters i think. And Network cards arent really aerodynamic either. But this was extremly fun too... many threw horribly bad... others like this one guy, hit the jackpot.
http://hazard.mine.nu/images/lan14/big.asp?pic=14151It acctually got stuck too it. I never heard such an loud unanimous "Whoa".
Yeah... so that summs the Lan up pretty much. We had fun there. Im definatly going again. Because next time it's going to be a normal sized Lan.
This was a rather small one. With only 50 places. A Chibi-Lan someone called it.
The normal ones are held in my schools cafeteria. And there, there are places for up too 120 people. Yup.. definatly going.
Ah... there was a bunch other things... but i'll write about em some other time if i remember about it.
