The CK Daily – A Classic Weekend
Happy Thursday everyone!
This weekend was a classic one, even if it was a little busy! After classes wrapped up on Friday, my boyfriend and I drove back to our hometown to spend the weekend with his family. We had plenty to celebrate with his mom’s birthday and my end of GMAT stress, so we ordered pizza, Caesar salad, and Nothing Bundt Cakes for dessert! It was delicious and it’s always nice to have a nice relaxing meal with family.
That night, I also worked at a wedding at the venue where I worked throughout high school. I don’t get to go back very often during the school year, but they needed help, I was already home, and it’s always fun to return. Weddings are a whirlwind of hustle and bustle, but they remind me how much I love the energy and excitement of it all. The bride was sweet enough to leave us with flowers at the end of the night, so now I have beautiful fresh flowers brightening up my space!
On Sunday, it was time to head back to campus and settle into our usual study routine. The day was full of errands, work, and football. It was a lot of sitting, which I don’t love, but I’m grateful I had the time to catch up on assignments and get ahead. With the UGA-Alabama game coming up this weekend, I wanted to clear my to-do list as much as possible since I have tickets to the game! Fingers crossed for another win and nice weather!

Networking is a big topic. In fact, it’s too big for a single conversation. In order to distill such a massive concept into manageable bites, it’s best to look at one component of a network at a time. This time around, that bite is network switches. They come in many shapes and sizes, but you can navigate through the field of options pretty easily when you break switch features into three categories.
