Continuating
So, I failed to continue the saga yesterday, lets hope I can make this brief so I can take a nap.
When I finally got the details for this new job nailed down I was very close to finishing my internship at Offut. I really had a great time with that job, I was kept pretty busy but I somehow found ways to challenge myself with something new and different every week there. I will miss the friendly office environment of DNTT. I finished up work on Friday August 13th and went back home. Packing everything up and leaving my studio apartment was a little depressing. I knew that I would be going back to a dorm room with the likelihood that I will get a roomate at some point. For now I don�t have a roomate, and living in a dorm room isn�t so bad. I am able to keep busy enough here that I don�t really spend that much time in my room anyways. I have a bed and a desk for my computer and a nice recliner to nap in. What more do I need.
I moved back to school last Tuesday, 3 days earlier than everyone else. I had to start working in the IT department a couple days early so I got to move in earlier. It�s a kinda weird thought that (assuming all goes well) this will have been the last time that I will move into a dorm room at UNK. I�m pretty sure that I will be more than ready to be done with school by the time April swings around. After that point it�s all pretty foggy right now.
Books are freaking expensive this year. It�s always been a little frustrating in the past, but I never really buy books for my classes anyways. Everyone is telling my that book prices have jumped up to ridiculous proportions. The economy is not doing well enough yet for this kind of price inflation to occur. I swear, If someone were to actually buy all the books required for their classes they could spend over 500 dollars pretty quickly!
I may go buy one $75 used book today if my Geography teacher really insists. Hm, this is really freaking annoying, I just checked half.com and the price there was the same as that in the book store. How is that possible. What happened to half.com?!? What happened to power to the people and all that, are we all doomed to suffer under the iron fist of the tyrannical book publishers? Why must we suffer so with huge tuition hikes, loans that barely cover a third of the cost of attending, and no scholarships for the consistently average?!!?!!?!? You know what this post is lacking? More punctuation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, so now I�m at school working for the webmaster and I just got a decent G4 for my machine now. I am really looking forward to working on it. I should talk to the JMC department and see what kind of price I can pick up one of their old lab G4�s. That would be pretty sweet.
