207: "I don't have anything I need to do tonight"

Famous last words.

I went into tonight not needing to do anything, and then I was blindsided by a pre-lab for tomorrow (because one of my dumbass professors didn't update the class and it was due January 29th 2025), and then about an hour ago my server decided to just... stop. It didn't even fully crash, the system still read as online, according to both my VLAN and actual LAN, but I couldn't for the life of me access it. I plugged in a screen and hit the power button, and it just... refused to turn off. So I unplugged the bastard. This is twice in four days that I've had to manually restart the thing for no discernible reason, it might be time to replace or upgrade the boot drive. If it does it again I'll definitely start replacing stuff, because this is not the reliability I need from the system.

Before ~9PM though, today was great. It was still great in total, honestly, but these past few hours have been full of unwelcome surprises. Italian today was great, as it always is, even though Grubhub was throwing errors this morning, so I had to resort to Jamba Juice for breakfast, which was mid.

I've decided to stop going to my 10-11 class, because it's honestly insulting. That's 307, which is supposed to be "Digital Electronics and Integrated Circuits", but the professor has never taught the class before, and he's not really trying. He clearly ChatGPT's his slides, and he doesn't really know what he's talking about. He also smells bad. That one feels like a less-legitimate reason to hate on that class, but it is real.

I always feel bad skipping on class, and that one is going to be really sad after I stop going, there were genuinely 7 of us today, and it's only going to get worse. It's just not useful, I get more out of reading the damn book for an hour, and I end up having to anyway because the homework is completely divorced from what we do in class. What we do in class itself isn't even internally consistent, I cannot stress enough how dogshit his slides are, and I have no doubt he's just dumping the textbook into ChatGPT and having it make him slides. No learning takes place in that room.
