Well, I'm back home in WV really early as I already found and signed the contract to a nice 2-bedroom apartment in Blacksburg where the gas heat was even included in the rent.  I'll be making the official move sometime during the last ten days of June.
That's awesome, Patrick! Glad that you were able to find an apartment so quickly.
They were filling up fast from Virginia Tech students for this fall, so I had to be quick.  I'll be getting Comcast as it monopolizes the area, and satellite is too cumbersome due to restrictions with mounting the dishes in the complex.  Thankfully, Comcast gives a $20 discount for high-speed internet to everyone in the apartment complex I picked, so I'll learn to live with it even though no TWC HD exists there.

Two good news that make me happy today:
I passed all the TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) tests (writing, reading, math), :happy: which means I will be passing to 8th grade. Writing was very easy. The calculator help me pass math.
I got student of the month (the first time since December 2004). Now I don't need to be jealous of my friends (the one I usually hang out and got SOTM) anymore.
Congrats!! :)

So glad the seemingly eternal search is over Patrick! Adding to your optimism, Comcast gives "new" customers a much cheaper rate for the first year of service. For almost two years, my dad got away with a cheaper rate because he kept moving.

Also, the advanced class (TV Media) had our first meeting this morning, as it was decided who would do what for the end of the year announcements (pretty much a precursor to next year's announcements). They're done after the seniors are gone (their last day this year is a week from this Thursday). I am of course going to do my own weather segment on it, and everyone there knew I would :P
I will make sure to ask to be the one who uploads it to youtube on the Vision's channel. Either way, we're looking at most likely either next Friday (the 4th) or the following Monday (the 7th) for carrying it out. I will make sure to share the video with all :)

I don't know if it's just me because my internet's been having problems on and off today, but has there been a lot of "An Error Has Occurred" 's for anyone else on the forums today? :unsure:

I've gotten a couple "Connection Problems" on here, but none of what you mentioned, Zach.

Error logs seem normal to me. Just a few hits here and there.

Zach, it makes me wonder if those errors refer to your internet provider's server.  I haven't experienced any of these errors either.

Patrick, this is Zach. It has to be something with my account because I can browse the forums just fine when I am logged out.

Looking in to it.... check back for an update.

UPDATE: I've gone through your profile on both forum and database side, there are no anomolies. There aren't even enough visits at the same time to even spring that kind of an error, so something is definitely up on your end.
