Well, Ladies and Gents, this weekend I made another trip to Ruston and as usual it turned out to be full of pleasantry and jollailities (that's not really a word, I know). I managed to get over to campus while Katie was at work Saturday morning and visit the computer lab.
It seems that they've seen fit to put the student technology fees to work. They've upgraded all the computers in the lab to include pentium 4 processors and 15 inch flat screen monitors. I was impressed... not by the technology itself, but by the fact that they finally sprang for a new set of lab computers in ALL the main labs on campus.
Of course, the computer science lab has had LCD monitors and new computers for quite a while now thanks to a few professors making a push and a new department head. That's to be expected though. We're the computer guys. We actually need the computers to be decent.
Anyways, while I was on campus I saw that the grounds crew had done a great job planting tulips around campus, more specifically, in the quad. They were great looking orange and yellow tulips in each of the four flower beds that sit on the main walkways in the open square in front of Keeny Hall, the library and the bookstore. I call it the quad. Here's a pic of the flowers.
Later that day we went to Monroe for a little bit of shopping ... and for a change of scenery too, I guess. We went to Target and the Pecanland Mall. I managed to snag a few shirts at Target, and a new cologne at Dillard's in the mall. For those of you looking for a new cologne, Armani Black smells great.
We got back into town later that afternoon, piddled for a little bit while Taylor got ready to join us, and then went to play some pool at Shenanigans.
