Living at MCC now

Posted at September 3, 2007 5:18 pm | In School | By: Ben Woodruff

I’ve officially moved into the dorm at MCC (Pioneer).

I’ve got my own suite, next to Spencer’s. Our roommates are cool.

Books and Such

Posted at August 29, 2007 9:35 pm | In School | By: Ben Woodruff

I went to MCC today and got my books. I decided not to get the one for the networking class I’m auditing unless I talk to the professor and he says I need it. There was also one other that I wasn’t able to get (they were out?). Even without those two, the total bill came to like $3XX.

I also ordered prescription sun glasses. They’re pretty sweet, I can’t wait until they come in.

And then when I got home I put my new work and class schedule into iCal… it’s scary. If I were to put in time to study (class time x2), time to eat, and time to sleep…. I would have no time left. So there goes what little social life I had. haha. I may have to tell Hurricane that I can’t work on Saturdays. Hopefully if I do have to go that route Jeremiah won’t mind too much. He pretty much works 6 days a week as it is, at least then he’d get paid for it.

Off to school (LCS) and Angio bright and early tomorrow, so good night.

So… off to college soon (and more)

Posted at August 24, 2007 11:02 pm | In Personal | By: Ben Woodruff

I just got back from chillin’ at SP’s place. Jman and I went up to meet Mark at Angio but he’d already left, so we went over and had dinner (burgers and dogs) and drinks with the Petti’s. Of course I was the designated driver…

Moving into the dorm next weekend. Working tomorrow and then heading over to Jordan’s, maybe going to record. Still working crazy hours like 45 / week. That’s crazy for me anyway, not used to that. It’s hard to schedule much else.

This Sunday I just need to not go anywhere or do anything except maybe play some World of Warcraft.

Wow, crazyness (graduation)

Posted at June 23, 2007 10:35 pm | In School | By: Ben Woodruff

So I’m done.

It’s strange and wonderful and I love being done and hate being done all at the same time.
Senior fun night was sweet, and the actual ceremony went well.

Thanks everyone for making senior year, and my entire high school career what it was.
Shouts go out to the class of ‘07 and all of the awesome teachers I’ve had over the years.

Pictures will be up on Flickr soon (DIG! WHAT IS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS?). If anyone wants higher res pics that I might have, email me (ben @ benw dot us).
If anyone has pics from senior fun night, email them to me! I forgot my camera.

Awesome Opportunity

Posted at February 3, 2007 11:12 pm | In School | By: Ben Woodruff

Wow, so this goes under a lot of categories.
This summer my school is going to be looking for a network engineering intern.
They want to add their mini-Mac lab to their Novell network.
So I’m really excited. I’d love to be able to do that and work at Hurricane.

Working a lot more

Posted at January 13, 2007 10:37 pm | In Personal | By: Ben Woodruff

I’ve been working a lot more recently. I usually only work on Saturdays, but I’ve been going in after school, and will be working a full day Monday.
I love it, because I love the job, but it’s getting kinda crazy. School full time and work whenever I’m not in school.
It’s not actually that much, it just seems like a lot because I’m not used to it.
Good stuff though, I’d like to think I work well (better?) under stress.

Economics…

Posted at 11:32 am | In School | By: Ben Woodruff

Last night I was at Maxwell’s from 4:30 - 11:45 (7 hours and 15 minutes for the math impaired) filming a video for Economics class. And I still haven’t even started editing it.

I have this very strange problem with Sony Vegas every time we film a movie with his camera. I can copy+paste the AVI files off his camera, and play them in any of the numerous players that I have installed. I can even edit it in Windows Movie Maker. But whenever I import it into Vegas I lose the video (last time we did this I think we lost the audio).

I remember last time we solved that by downloading something from Sony’s website, but I have no idea what it was, or where on Sony’s site to get it. If anyone has some suggestions… IM me.

We better get an A+, Mr. Bellis. -_-

College

I got accepted to Monroe Community College today. Woot!

Planning on the 2+2 program at MCC that will allow me to automatically transfer to RIT as a junior when I’m done.

Re: Teaching Again

Posted at October 21, 2006 8:50 am | In School | By: Ben Woodruff

As I posted here, Jordan and I taught IT Essentials again on Friday (yesterday). It went pretty smoothly. We didn’t have any technical glitches this time, thankfully. We used the overhead speaker with no problems.
Mrs. Villone wrote the lesson plan for this class. She created an “interactive activity,” where she wanted kids to come to the middle of the room (we sit in a semi-square) and pretend to be hardware that was trying to talk in a computer. For example, we had a keyboard that wanted to get something to show on the display. So the keyboard would tell the external data bus, who would tell the CPU, who would tell the memory, and so on. Unfortunately it didn’t go exactly as she had planned, and over all I’m not really sure anyone got anything out of it.
We showed another LabRats.tv video, this time on BIOS. I think that the class actually learned a lot from it, but it was slightly off topic, and not everyone paid attention.
My offer still stands to anyone who is thinking about dropping the class because you aren’t learning the material. Come see me, and I will make sure you understand the stuff.
