Newfangled Technology
Despite the fact that I'm in my fourth and final semester, I'm still flummoxed by the newfangled technology at school. Some of classes have switched to a newer class website system that I'd never seen before this semester, a system appropriately named "Stellar." Unfortunately, I didn't catch on that the name of the school wide system was "Stellar" so I spent many days feeling perplexed by some of the e-mail messages I would receive about these classes. All of these e-mails would refer to the classes as, "Note: This mail was sent to all participants and guests in the Stellar class 'Pricing'" or "Stellar class this or that. At first I thought it was one overenthusiastic TA referring to the classes as Stellar, but then other classes were being called Stellar and every e-mail made reference to the class being Stellar. After a few days, I thought, "Come on, I know the class is good, but do we really need to call it Stellar every time we refer to it?" Boy did I feel sheepish when I finally figured out the computer system was called Stellar.
