I discovered that there is a wireless network on OSU's campus in Stillwater. I went to the Administrator's office to get my account setup. Pleasant enough. I was explaining to him that I only have one class here in Stillwater and that the rest where in Tulsa. "Well, you oughta just transfer on down here," he said adamantly, "It's a better school."
Now that is ponderous. An administrator at the University refers to one portion of the University as better than another, where as in my mind they are equally decrepit. I find the tribal behavior of humans fascinating. They offer the same classes on both campuses - often over Interactive Television (i.e. using the same professors) - and yet there is a perception that this portion is some how better than the other. Simply fascinating.
Just now while I am typing this, I discover that there is an open wireless network in my class room *grin* This could be of some entertainment later on.
Some other non-related good news. Not only did I get the aforementioned research assistantship, but I was also fortunate enough to get a TA (Teacher's Assistantship) as well. This will be good experience. I will be helping formulate the homework assignments, some possible grading, and holding office hours once a week to torment... eghh... I mean
help the struggling undergraduates.
