htothehWow, I wrote this, then realized that it is long. And so I cut.
Firefox is full of stupid. I know I have Java on this computer, because I programmed in it, but of course my precious browser doesn't know how to find it. And I am equally full of stupid, because I don't know how to tell it to find Java.
Started class Monday. Prof reminds me of my English teacher from senior year. The logic bits remind me very strongly of the more theoretical stuff we did in 60. This makes me happy. Took me three days to find free parking. Not happy, but now know where to locate free parking. I hate parking on Hillsborough. There is, however, a Bruegger's right across from the building where I have class, so there's instabreakfast right there. And they sell Naked juice. It's three bucks a bottle, but... Naked juice. Treat for Hannahs. On the whole, even considering reading for homework, a Happy.
Job front is Not a Happy. Caribou isn't hiring for just summer, unfortunately, and the pool management guy hasn't gotten back to me, so I'm probably going to end up going to home improvement stores tomorrow for applications. Apparently they pay well. I just want to get paid.
And crap, I need to call Greer, who is running for NC House and is of course welcoming people who want to work on her campaign and might know someone who can hire me for at least a little money. I don't need a lot, especially since I'll be making a little money next semester. I already have free access to a Prob Stat book lined up--the only good thing about being practically the only frosh I know who didn't do Summer Math.
But yes. On the job thing, I'm mostly slowing myself down, which is unfortunate, and something that I need to get over.
Meh.
Also to do: Print out Python tutorials, so I can read them without my eyes falling out by trying to spend all my time staring at my computer screen. Argh.
I'm just bored, and a little lonely. I wish people lived closer than Virginia Beach, which, not that close. I mean, they do, but the only people here I still really talk to are Chris and Diana, and Erica a little, but I'm not sure if she's still in the country or not. Elena called me the other day, kind of out of the blue, but I lost the call, and she didn't call back. And I was buying my textbook. If they aren't really that interested in my company, I can deal.
Okay, maybe a little more lonely than I thought. I really need to call people more often. I've always been horrible at that. Mudd was good because it was so low-effort to be around other people. Here... not so low-effort. I just don't have the activation energy.
C- in Chem, speaking of. GPA bordering on C+. Not as good as I should have done. It's irritating when I know, know that I'm capable of better, and just didn't do it.
Maybe tomorrow I'll take my reading to a coffee shop or something. Panera, maybe--treat myself to lunch. Something to get myself out of the house. I wish I had the Saturn; the truck just isn't as driving-friendly.
