Timed Out

I wish I could get away with my connection with school work 'timing out' as often as my router and ISP have been lately. I wouldn't have anything to complain about if I was actually learning anything even halfway significant to the field I plan on going into, but instead 4 of my 5 courses are loaded with material I'll never see again, its very frustrating. On the bright side, at least I'm not a reporter held captive for a month, released, and shot within hours by 'friendly fire'.
