Winter Quarter

In January the new Winter quarter started, and I was feeling good about things so I signed up for a full course load. I was intrigued with Computer Science, so I signed up for two courses. The department, being newly formed with new professors, had limited offerings so I signed up for what was available, Data Structures and a “Seminar in CIS” which the subject for that particular quarter was computer languages.  I also, after dropping the course the previous quarter, signed up for Physics again.

NERDC

In January the University of Florida Computing Center (UFCC) was renamed to be the Northeast Regional Data Center abbreviated NERDC and I officially became a Nerd.

 

Baptist Student Center

I started going to the Baptist Student center regularly where they often had socials but even when they didn’t, it was a nice place to just hang out.  It also was a good place to meet girls, after all, if my sister Brenda could meet her future husband there, perhaps I would meet a future wife.  It was there that I met Jane and Cindy.
