Yo!

It's now two weeks into the school year. My first assignment is due next tuesday. This is what's been going on the past few weeks.

Database Programming and Data Structures are pretty dry. UNIX is cool, mostly because of our professor, Steve. He's quite funny, and has a distaste for microsoft. ^^;.... Greek Civ is moving along much like Roman Civ did, which means it'll be easy, and my Anthropology prof has a tendency to go off on tangents, allowing me to possibly get some sketching done.

I applied to be a tutor this week. Why? Because it pays $8 an hour, and I need the money. Grocery money. And speaking of jobs, I have to apply for Co-op this semester. The first work term is in second semester. I talked to Dr. Barry Adams (who was a prof of mine last year, and is a generally cool guy) said he thought I'd have no problems getting in... and then signed my form so I could tutor his first year students.

I farted around for a while with the idea of partitioning my hard drive and installing linux, but I think I'm just gonna f**k the idea and use the *gasp!* Sun lab.

I hit Wal-Mart and got my coat hangers. For a kettle, my hotpot will do until I go home for thanksgiving.

Today and tomorrow are club days in the Bowling alley. I signed up for the Computer Science Club and the Anime club. The CSC has a LAN party scheduled for the end of the month, and I hear the Anime Club starts up on friday. I showed up for a karate session put together today. It was free this time but I assume if I continue to show up for their thrice-weekly sessions, I'll have to pay sometime. It was fun. It was a great workout. My triceps are sore and the rest of me is stiff. I think I'll go again friday. I NEED the workout... and besides, I wanted to get more exercise this year than I did last year, which was none.

I'm planning on starting to put together a hallowe'en costume together saturday. I want to go as Utena. To that end, I've managed to find a wig. The boy-shorts shouldn't be TOO hard... now where am I going to get the shirt and a rose signet, not to mention a Sword of Dios?

I should redo the look of this blog. It's getting old. Maybe I will after I get a few halloween pics cranked out.

Yo!

It's day 3 of frosh week and I have time to kill, so I'm posting here.

Firstly, some of the more observant of you will have noticed I changed the name (but not addy) of this blog. The reason is simple. As of Saturday, I was no longer a frosh. I'm a Senior. So far, the week has been pretty eventful. Saturday I moved in along with the other seniors, and then we went to the Grand in the evening. It was okay, but not great. Sunday the frosh moved in. We had Welcome Wagon and all that FUN stuff, and. . . a free night. I believe we spent it just hanging on the floor. Monday was Beach day and Rock and Bowl. Beach day was okay, but I got sunburnt. Rock and bowl was fun, even though I lost miserably, and I suspect U of S won't be allowed back at that alley next year due to stupid stunts pulled by the guy's floors. Today was the pancake breakfast (Pancakes. Yay. Not), a speech from the PTBs at U of S, and later tonight we're going to see either American Wedding or SWAT, our choice. I'm going to see SWAT, and the bus for that leaves at 8:45. It's now 6:47, and I have not much to do.

As far as anime goes, I have discovered that I can, in fact, Download from this room, and I've gotten three eps of Utena and *FINALLY!* The first ep of GetBackers. YAAY! And OHMIGOD, Natsumi from GetBackers is like Nakami with a happy childhood!...

Oh. And another thing. Yesterday I also saw PhoneBooth, courtesy of the frosh who moved into my half of my old room. I'm living in what used to be Carla's room.... and both the Don and my old Roomie have said they're glad I'm occupying the room and not Carla. (NOT exactly the most popular gal in rez). I bought three textbooks today. The ones for Data Structures 1, Database programming, and UNIX. Jake, if you're reading this, the Database book is FRIGGIN HUGE so bring your forklift when you hit the bookstore. ^^; And I saw my NakamiChibi in the new COSC 1046 textbook. Yay me!

Items I Forgot To Bring To Rez This Year:
- Coat Hangers
- My Kettle

List to be appended as lack of other items are discovered. I've shoved the clothes of mine that didn't fit in a drawer or on a shelf into the top half of my closet, which means I have to stand on my chair to get them. OH well. I'll live till Friday or Saturday when the mall/Grocery busses run and I can pick some up. Imouto's blow up chair DOES have a slow leak in it, since it's 2/3 inflated after having sat in it to watch PhoneBooth. It's easy enough to blow it up again, though. The problem is it's DULL ORANGE. I've solved that problem by covering it with the blanket my mom made for me. I don't need it in summer, and in the winter I can sit in it, wrap the blanket around me and do my homework there.

Random thoughts: I really should update WT and RAF soon. ^^;
