this fall

So, end of summer semester is upon me. I'm done with my acting class. Got an A. Obviously. Probably looking to pull an A- in Economics, considering I've gotten solid 90's on all the tests and quizzes, we'll see, the final is worth 35% of the final grade, so just as long as I dont eff that up, it should be fine. Last day is July 31st. Good.

Got the information to my new roommates. They are a couple, a year older than us. John is like "oh well that means a bunch of older people are going to be hanging around". I dont see what difference it makes. Roxanne and Michele are older than us, I don't think he realized that, and so were all the people that hung out in the apartment before who were Nick's friends. It's all the same to me, I can get along with anybody, even if it's forced. They seem alright on Facebook, but that's not saying much. Whatever. I'm going to have to message one of them and tell them not to bring kitchen stuff. We don't have Internet anymore at the apartment (well we do, but it's sporadic) because the people we used to steal Internet from apparently are gone, and the secondary connection is iffy. It didn't used to be as iffy as it is now, but I think that's because there were a lot more people hopping a free ride on "MI5" and now that they're gone all that's left is "internet", so it's sort of crazy. So, I'm at the SLC right now doing the Internet things that I have to do. I've been sitting in front of a computer screen typing for five hours already and I'm really done with this, but I have an assignment due in Econ online at 11pm, and it'd be easier if I didn't have to worry about the Internet sporadically fading in and out of reception.

I got my laptop back. They replaced the inside electric board thing, and so far it seems to work just fine. John bought a wireless modem, so I guess I'm going to have to start paying for Internet here soon anyway. Such a bummer cuz Charter has a monopoly and their prices are ridiculous. Nick and I worked out the transfer of the electric into my name. I went online and looked at it, and you can do everything online. Seeming as I saw that, it doesn't make sense that he would ever tell us "well they just haven't sent us a bill" because you can look all that stuff up online, and I'm sure, print out a monthly bill even if they dont send one to you. Stupid. Whatever.

I started buying the kitchen stuff. Oh yeah, I have to do that online today too, Walmart selection was crappy to say the least. I guess I could drive to Kohl's, but I think it's all just cheaper if I do it online.

The amount of stuff that I have to do on the computer today is daunting. I'm sick of typing and looking at a screen. Argh.

I just looked up all my books that I'm going to need for my classes this fall... and the grand total is 17 books. SEVENTEEN BOOKS!!! Just in case you didn't catch the crazy amount of books that is. Honestly.... 17. *sigh* I mean I sort of expected a fair number of books for my comparative literature class, cuz duh, it's comparing literature, and most of those I can probably just check out at the library hopefully. But then, one of my journalism classes has like seven books of its own!

Well, I guess I should do that stupid Econ homework so I can get out of here and lay down and read in bed and not be anywhere near a screen.
