School

*note* Thanks to TJ I am able to log in for now and load.... read on... read on...


Ok here’s a fun one…. There is apparently campus wide wireless service… and I’m not on it. Somehow my ID is not coded into the system yet… so no go on that. I was wise enough the other day to hook up my phone to the laptop to get some sort of connectivity… and what do I do? I forget to bring my flipping usb cord to school. Great….

On a random side note… I just saw an asian chick walking by in a Naruto jacket…. *sigh* The fun of people watching.

How do I have so much free time you say? I have an hour to kill every day I have class. I have a 7:30am class… that is suppose to end at 8:45, then the next class is 10:30. Yup. The union in the morning is a great thing. Warm and quiet. People are not awake yet. We were let out half an hour early today because it is still the first day… that’s another story. I tried to get some stuff done… I tried to get the stupid wireless to work… found where the help desk is actually located and talked to one of the more mostly unhelpful persons…. Put in a trouble ticket. Went to find the other classrooms… one of them is actually a bit of a trek to get to… since that’s the only one that is not in the one building I’m going to live in…. Milled around the union for a little bit… looked at the bowling alley. Doesn’t look bad… ran into an old coworker there, Brian H., he was thinking about adding to the bowling class. So other then that… here I am, waiting for my next class in the bowels of the union… not online.

So my first class was kind of dry. Green sheet, just the prof talking. He was ask questions that he answers himself. Yes. It was just a little bit annoying. But he seems to be a pretty good lecturer. I really don’t think I can use the laptop too much in that class… except for pulling up excel worksheets and stuff on there. So I’ll have to see. I like using OneNote so far. Keeps everything fairly organized. I think I can get used to it. I can link Word documents to it and stuff… it’s actually fun. The battery life on this laptop is actually pretty good. I can get used to this. Not being tether to the wall. I think this thing may last all day. I think on Tuesday, when I’m here till like 9, I have to plug it in for a bit. But I love this thing so far. Next time I’m in the store I’ll probably pick up a short network cable and a 5 pin USB cable. The other option is

So yeah… nothing really interesting so far. I’m acting like I’ve been here all along. Not too bad….
