Starting Classes!

So I’m all reg­is­tered for class­es and start tomor­row. I’m tak­ing four class­es, 12 hours—which my advi­sor warned me will feel like 18 due to the sum­mer semes­ter com­pres­sion. Not fun. But I’m real­ly excit­ed. The next cou­ple of weeks dri­ving across town won’t be fun, but then we’ll be all moved.

I need a back­pack. I’ve nev­er need­ed one before. I don’t remem­ber any­one car­ry­ing them at any time dur­ing my ear­li­er school­ing, but now they’re sim­ply one of the things that every­one car­ries. Sam says I have to have the kind with wheels.

I have actu­al­ly dis­cov­ered a desire for an MP3 play­er, too. I don’t want to car­ry around a bunch of dif­fer­ent gad­gets, so now I’m lust­ing after the fanci­er PDAs that have MP3 play­ers and dig­i­tal cam­eras built in. It’s extreme­ly unlike­ly that I’ll buy one, but I’m lusting.

A lap­top is final­ly jus­ti­fi­able, though. It would cer­tain­ly make the two-hour gap I have two days a week MUCH more use­ful. To make things bet­ter, the library on cam­pus is hav­ing wire­less inter­net access set up now and it’s sup­posed to be work­ing some­time this semester.
