“It has been our policy to provide the media with convenient and sufficient access to the Internet,” said Sun Weide, the chief spokesman for the Beijing Olympics organizing committee. “I believe our policy will not affect reporters’ coverage of the Olympic Games.” —– Source :: Accessed: 4:10 pm (GMT -0500) on 30 July 2008
yea…so what exactly do they mean by “convenient and sufficient access to the Internet” just the idea made me laugh a little during class. Even the Olympics can’t seem to take down The Great Firewall of China.
The test to test out of IT320 (WAN Technology and Application) was 50 questions, and I needed a 70% to pass. Any guess what I got? Yup, a 68%, one question short of testing out; now I have to take the class…yay! It really does not seem like it will be that bad, after having taken the CCNA in high school it should be an easy class. Unfortunately now I have to take it and can’t get away with what I know; which is most of the class, the test just didn’t cover a lot of the stuff I already knew. ><
I’ve also been thinking about this thing recently, and in all honesty I want nearly the exact opposite thing to happen. What is going to happen will happen, there is no way to stop it, but it’s also not a permenant thing and I want to undo it as soon as possible. Everything probably goes the way it does for a reason and so this will also come to pass abit painfully, but it will. The number of words it would take to change the entire course of everything that is to come in the near future can be counted on one hand, if worded propperly, otherwise it might take two. With five words things wouldn’t change in the short term, and in the long term..six months, maybe a year…things could not possibly be better. In my life now I need to be dragged, pointed and pushed towards the right direction; there are no answers that I need or want besides one and it is going to be one of the most difficult questions I will ever ask even though I already know exactly what the answer will be.
School this quarter has been really hard, things getting changed, the stress quickly goes through the roof. Hopefully after this week it will finally calm down and life can get somewhat back to normal. Yet these things don’t bother me as much as some of the coming events. Life throws many many things your way, some are bad, some are good…but this one thing…honestly…it scares the fuck out of me, and I know I’m not going to be able to handle it. ;\
