Snow and stuff

Back at school and almost done with two weeks. I like this 4 days of class per week and the current lack of group projects. Monday and Wednesday I have two real estate classes and get my exercise making the 20 min trek to the B-school from New East and then 35 min trek to my apartment after class. Tuesday and Thursday are planning theory and GIS with a 4 hr break in the middle. Overall the classes seem pretty interesting and will actually give me some job skills.

Went to the GT vs. UNC bball game on Sunday and it was an interesting experience. It was a strange feeling being one of the few Tech fans there, especially sitting in the student section. The Dean Dome was insanely loud. I've never been to a sporting event that was that loud. I had fun even though Tech lost.

GT vs. UNC

After a full week of using my tablet pc for note taking I really like it. I've gotten a lot of comments from people that have never seen such a thing which is cool. Though I do have a bad feeling when walking down Franklin Street passed the homeless guys asking for money knowing I have an expensive computer on my back. Did I need to buy a laptop, essentially an expensive notebook, instead of a spiral bound notebook?

On the weather front, it snowed about 2 inches last Friday and it mostly stuck around until Tuesday. I like the snow but I think that comes with not getting it much.

Having friends up north is interesting because they leave varying thoughts about the snow in their away messages. Here's two from today.

Mark in Michigan: "can i offer you any SNOW? I have too much and am willing to get rid of some."
Jessica at Penn State: "reading and watching the snow fall...4 inches and counting!!"

Definitely two different perspectives from people from Carrollton.
