So what am I doing here?

---

I figured that it was time to show you what I am actually doing over here in Dehradun, besides playing tourist.

I'm getting my learning on!!!!!!!

See here's the proof. :P

So far I've learned about DNS and DHCP servers, OU's (organizational units are like filing cabinets or trash cans), GPO's (group policy objects tell you what you can or can't do), Active Directory, Domain Controller, and 9 million other things that sound just as mysteriously boring. I'm surprised at how much I have retained, but to be honest there's so much more to learn. I don't think it will ever end. That's actually OK.

The normal routine is this....

We are picked up in the morning and by about 9ish, after we have a cup or 3 of tea/coffee we begin class. Then we go through the labs, try to stay awake and take a long walk to get more tea all in the vain attempt to stay awake. It's not because my instructor is boring, it wouldn't matter if he came in wearing a clown suit we would still struggle to stay awake. Hey that's just how it is when you're just sitting there. Lunch is from 1-2pm, once we're done eating we sit outside and enjoy the sun while talking about our exams or plans for the weekend. Then for the next 2-3 hours we repeat the morning ritual. Lecture, tea, labs, tea, and fight to stay awake until it's time to leave.

Building a Forest
Doesn't look like any forest I've ever seen

Explaining...
I'm to figure out why the parent domain and the child domain aren't working. The PDC had me stalled, and it took half a day to get it going right.

Discussing child domains
Trust me, they are just as stubborn as the real thing!

Look at you! Becoming a computer whiz! That's awesome! Honestly, I have no idea what the computer terms you mentioned mean. However, now I know who I will call if my home computer ever crashes!

Now I believe you! ;)
So it's not all fun and games is what you're telling us. :D I'm surprised you're head isn't twice as big with everything you've learned since you've been there. You're almost done, though. Whew!
