Spring Break has been pretty relaxing. Easter was good, but my mom came down with the flu and couldn’t come with us to my aunt and uncle’s house.

My books for my HST 330 paper finally arrived today from Amazon. After a long battle on trying to figure out where they were, Amazon finally overnighted a new order. Now I can heavily dive into the paper. So far, I’ve only got 3 pages written, and when I include some info from a previous version of the paper, it should be around 6 pages. Anyway, I hope everyone’s Spring Break is going well.

I just took my History 330 (Business and Society) test. I don’t know how I did. It was kind of hard to take considering my vision was blurry and every once in a while I would have to stop writing because I would get dizzy. This has to be the worst cold ever. I hope tomorrow I feel better. I can’t wait to go home.

To everyone that I don’t see today, have a great and safe Spring Break.

After not being sick for a long time, it appears that I have caught a cold. It sucks. Runny nose, sneezing, constantly tired. I think I got it when I was outside at the lake on Saturday morning trying to fish. It was way too cold to be outside doing that. Oh well, nothing I can do about that now. Guess I will have to drink some orange juice and hope this passes quickly.

This weekend was fun. I went to the lake and spent time with all my family on my mom’s side. I had a great time, I didn’t want it to end. Sadly, it did, and now I have to study for a hard test that I have on Wednesday. I NEED a B on this test. Then at 5:00 on Wednesday, it’s off to StL for Spring Break! Though it will not be much of a break for me, I have to write 2 long research papers.

For a day I had no internet service and our cable TV was very fuzzy. After talking to three different people, all who take the word “service” our of customer service, the best answer I could get was they could call us within the next 48 hours to SET UP AN APPOINTMENT to check what the problem was. Why am I paying for a service, and it is a service, in which I get nothing in return. We all had papers and speeches to write so having no internet was not a good thing. We explained to Mediacom that we are college students that are working on school assignments and we needed the net back ASAP and their response is, “maybe you shouldn’t rely on the service if it is that important.” Oh really, I shouldn’t rely on a service that I pay for, that is marketed as being reliable? Then they told us to maybe have a backup service or change services. Well, I didn’t know it was your job as a Mediacom employee to tell customers that your service is crappy and unreliable and tell them to find other services.

If we didn’t only live here for 1 more paying month, we would switch. I will NEVER use Mediacom’s crappy “service” again, and I urge everyone else not to either. Sattelite is becoming a better value, and DSL via SBC is just as good, if not better, than Mediacom.

Contact Mediacom to tell them how crappy their service is here: Contact Mediacom
