Wireless on Campus

Yay!  This is just semi-exciting.  I'm finally able to get on the campus's wireless access.  What good is this?  I'm not really sure yet, but it'll be nice to know that I can get online from my own computer if I need to.  I suppose I could have set it up quite as easily last semester, I just didn't really feel the need to do such.

Unfortunately, most of the classes I'm taking involve programs which I don't yet have on this computer, so how much I'll actually use it for communicating online I have yet to find out.

The first day back is kind of surreal.  I woke up this morning to my phone alarm, but promptly ignored it, and didn't wake up until 9:30 or so.  So much for a shower.  But I didn't miss class, so it's still good.  And I now have every intention of going to the bookstore to collect yet another extraneous bill for books that, I get the feeling, I will once again end up not using.  However, with that said, Michelle informs me that our book for "Writing for the Web" is only about $30, and maybe it will come in handy later in life.  I suppose I might want to pick up my things for Anatomy & Physiology too. 

And, with any luck, maybe this semester will prove fruitful in getting an on-campus job.  I just need to be a little more assertive.  *Nod*

My mom's birthday was yesterday.  They're opening a new Quaker Steak & Lube nearby - my sister (the college grad) is employed there until she can find a teaching job next school year.  They had a family and friends night last night - we all got free food and drinks.  If we'd had to pay the tab, it would have been over $100 with a tip!  The food was very good though, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it the next time (if ever) I go.

Oh and here I go, I've broken out the earbuds, and plugged in my adapter (that's never a good sign!).  Well, maybe I can have some sort of useful online conversation with someone.  We'll see.

Oh, and Happy New Year, two weeks after the fact.  May your's be productive, and full of purpose.  I know I'm rediscovering my purpose to be living for God.  It's hard, because there are so many things around us that would have us convinced otherwise.  I just need to keep my focus on him, and things will be that much better.  For now, and for the rest of my time here.
