First Day

So the classes went basically well, except that I have a huge walk between Geology and Writing II. Evidently, I may be able to catch a shuttle, which would be fantastic. I don't mind walking, but a long walk when it's cold and icy is not my idea of fun. The english professor is about 5 years older than me, which is a little depressing. I should be out of college by now, not going in as a freshman. At least after this year, I can start right into the main part of my major.

Adding to my consolation is the fact that my laptop should be in this week-end. I need to get my wireless network set up soon, but still... I can't wait to get it and start customising programmes. I think I'm going to keep Firefox as my main browser. I can't imagine going back to IE anymore. Plus, I love Thunderbird's junk mail filter. Mm, I should check for updates today, while I'm thinking about it.

~*~ Boldly on to work, which sucks. Despite giving them an availability schedule, they have managed to totally fuck up my hours. I'm supposed to be in at 4 on Tuesdays. This poses a huge problem: I have a lab until 5, which means that I don't even get into Weymouth until 5:30, at the earliest. If I go straight to work, that means no time to eat, either. They also have me working until close a bunch of nights. There's no way I can work until midnight, come home, have to eat dinner/do homework, and get to bed at a reasonable hour. I go to bed around midnight, for christ's sake!

I get to go in tonight, with a typed letter this time and once again remind Peter that 10pm availability does not mean midnight. School is more important than a crappy part time job. Plus, I was promised that I would not have to stay that late when I was hired and I would still have about 20 hours. Whatever.

I just had a burst of inspiration. I'm going to go start on my website redesign.

iDuck

Since I can't find a Hello Kitty carrying case for my laptop, I've decide that this is my new obsession. Marvel at The iDuck:

It comes in many, many colours (well, six really). It holds 16MB and, mostly importantly, is horrifyingly cute and somewhat quirky. You can view the rest of the page here. If you want to buy me one, you can email me and I will love you forever. Regardless, I think that this is my choice for plug and play memory sticks.

I don't want to go to work.
