One way or another, I will own a computer that works by the end of today.
It this means that I have to buy a new laptop online, so be it.
Today was the first day of classes. I like Calc III and Specfic so far, and if my Spanish class looks likely to be boring, at least it won't be too difficult (considering that the syllabus contains fewer writing assignments than my class last semester, that there isn't as much material to be read, that none of it is in medieval Spanish (I'm to be excited because this material wasn't written for people with English as a first language. Um, last semester in Spanish I was reading medieval treatises on love; the semester before that I read several moderately difficult plays, the semester before that was a washout (with this professor), and senior year of highschool we read Cronica de una Muerte Anunciada, which is a novel (a short novel, but Chronicle of a death foretold can be difficult in English)) and did I mention that the short story I'm to read for Wednesday is one that I read junior year of highchool, and was, in fact, one of the less challenging stories we read that year. Well, it's a required class, and if it isn't challenging, hey, I can use a not-challenging class next semester.
Yesterday was bittersweet. It was sort of slow and lazy, tying up loose ends of things to be done before classes started. I enjoyed that, and making the snow labyrinth on Seelye lawn was a lot of fun (even if it was cold). On the other hand, I learned of several bad things that have happened to people I care about, and that was sad, although more because I feel bad for them than because I'm personally affected. Shift sign-up was boring, but I survived and got most of the shifts I wanted.
This afternoon I'm going to a workshop on raku, which is a specfic type of glaze firing. It's a two-day workshop; I think that today will be spent making things to fire.
