It was entertaining last night with a two and half hour Internet outage for most of Virginia. Comcast apparently had some issues with their server that handled DNS (Domain Name System) or the Internet address directory. It would have been nice if I knew about this and did not have to spend an hour resetting the modem and router a couple times.
The five-day Thanksgiving break was a well-needed opportunity for sleep and relaxation. This year, it was livelier than last year in Ashburn, since there were more students who were still in town to hold a potluck dinner. As usual, the day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday, and I decided to venture off to Walmart for a portable hard drive in order to backup my precious schoolwork. All I can say is that with two Walmarts within a few miles from each other, the odds of getting any of those limited and non-major items were better.
Finally, finals week will start next week, so it will be that time of the semester to start cramming for them. Like most of my classmates, we did not do much studying during the Thanksgiving break. I’m glad that we have Monday off during final’s week for extra studying this semester. As of now, I have 2 finals on both Tuesday and Thursday, and 1 final on both Wednesday and Friday. That’ll be it for now as I get back to studying and put the finishing touches on the Biostats project and presentation that is due on Friday.
