VIM on windows = Happiness

I have officially crossed over to be a pure dork now (not that I wasn't before).  I have been messing around quite a bit with Linux in lab for my TSM 352 class.  I have been using VIM extensibly in this class so tonight i found a version for windows a standalone exe that when placed in the sys32 folder will make a command line editor just like in Linux.  Personally I love it, I know most of my friends will call me stupid but I find myself getting better and better on the Windows and linux command line.  You might say why??? I say why not if you can fly around in the command line of windows and linux why would you want to really move to the GUI.  To tell the truth I am using the Command line to get the skillz for the Linux machines the more you practice the better you are.  With VIM by my side its going to be pretty cool working in windows from command line.

Life goes well

Alright so I am actually doing pretty good in my classes this time.  Officially I am barely ahead of the game which is actually good.  Staying on top of my homework and turning all the busy work so that I don't have to worry about that plus the big dog assignments.  I am really enjoying my classes for the most part.  So fat TSM is disappointing me once again.  Every semester I get excited and then there is a let down to me learning or accomplishing anything in the class.  Oh well.  My roommate from Korea leaves in about 2 or 3 weeks which is cool but I will hate to see him go.  As bad as this sounds he is probably my best roomate I have ever had except for Lee freshman and part of sophomore year of college.  I don't we get along and he is fun to talk to most of the time.  We watch boogoos of music.  Funny thing is I thought I wouldn't have anything in common or there would be a language barrier of course this is typical American BS trying to say that we are better.  Although that is not the case turns out he speaks perfect English, I am more interested in his country, we actually know what each other is thinking most of the time.  Sometimes I have to explian the slang terms that I use but for the most part we get along.

Girlfriend status is I still have one.  We have had to work through some tough patches this semester nothing like life altering just some rough patches that every relationship in the world goes through.  Plans for Spring Break are to go to Fort Walton, FL with some pretty cool people that I know from White.  This should be a pretty good trip we are staying in a pretty kick ace hotel that overlooks the beach.  This trip I am not sure when its going down however should be really cool.  I love staying on the beach, I really am not that big on doing a whole bunch of stuff I like just being lazy like I am all the time.  That is why on the weekends I sleep till like 11:00 and don't move until like 4:00.  its pretty crazy.

Well that is a pretty good little update a glimpse into my lazy weekends.
