Well, it goes without saying that it’s Alex’s first birthday. Someday in the distant future, he might read this entry. Hopefully, he won’t read anything else, or he’ll realize that most of the people who surrounded him as a kid were morons.

I’m in my ever-so-exciting network security class

, waiting until I can go home. The professor just pointed out that this is the first week we’ve had all semester where all three classes actually happened. Holidays and snow days (which are a form of holiday in some respects) have messed us up so far. No wonder this semester feels so relaxed.

Tonight, I’ve got Alex’s birthday bash to go to. I’m not sure why people throw parties for babies, but it’ll be fun to be around everyone again, since it’s been a while. Thankfully, I have the weekend off. Plans for Saturday include (maybe) going downtown, and Sunday is ski day. I haven’t been skiing in ages (it was sometime in 2003, at a CBC family ski day — we somehow managed to attend without any CBC employees being present). Before that, it was 1999. I really don’t go skiing often enough.

Anyway, I’m going to go learn about private key cryptosystems and figure out if I’m going to skip my last class to go home early.
