Exams and Ubuntu

And once more I miss my Friday post. This will be in its stead and I'll update again probably on Tuesday or Wednesday after exams. Speaking of which, French and English exams are over! French wasn't bad, there were a few things I read and was unsure of, but English was fun. I'm afraid I was a little incoherent in my commentary by the end though, because I was rushing to get it done in time. But the greatest challenge still looms ahead: Math. I'm studying now actually, wondering what to put on my cheat sheet. Our teacher gives us cheat sheets depending upon how organized we've kept our notebooks and if we've kept up with the homework. The less you did, the smaller your sheet. I know some people who didn't even bother asking for one because they knew it would be tiny. I was lucky enough to get a full page, even though I wasn't expecting that much. Last year I got about a quarter of a page and that sufficed to get me through, tough there is a greater volume of information in this course. In any case, we'll see how it goes. These exams don't count for IB, so I'm not as concerned as I will be next year come April (and this year for French).

I have gone Ubuntu trigger-happy. I'm installing it EVERYWHERE (or trying to). I tried to install it on my iPod, but I couldn't get it to partition without killing the actual iPod. I entertained the thought of installing it in a shoe, but decided that could be a little smelly. I'm currently reading up on getting it on a USB flash drive and letting it live a while. At the current moment I don't actually have any operating system installed on my computer. I'm running off the Ubuntu LiveCD and reformatting my hard drive. I've been entertaining the thought of making my desktop computer into a server and just having my external hard drive (which is over three times bigger than my internal one) as my default computer. I see no reason this shouldn't work, besides that the server might be down whenever I use my computer.

In any case, this blog isn't for my Ubuntu-musings. And I have to go study. See you at the Suicide (Math Studying) Party tonight [7pm, on MSN, message me].

Farewell,
Ace
