Here I Am!

Looki! It's me! I'm not dead!

Hello there! Sorry for the lack of updates, but I had to get my computer online, you know? There were some things with virsus and firewalls and stuff. Sometimes it's a pain in the neck, but hey I guess it keeps our precious files safe. precioussss...Lol. Well, here I am, in my dorm. I have a single room, all to myself, obviously. It's new, so as the first occupat, I get to name it. I'm calling it the Upper Single Suit, because it's on the fourth floor of the building, and well, it's sort of a pun that only I can understand. he heh.

The people are nice here, we have a respect rule that everyone follows. It's a really community. About between ten and eleven it gets a little noisy, but then, it's what I call Loud Hour, where ppl can turn up the volume on their music a bit louder. It's not really study time. If you want to study during this time, then you go down to the second floor, which is where the dinning hall, the laundry room, student services, the morgue (silent study room) and the games room is. At night, the Dinning hall acts as a sort of relaxed study room, mostly by groups. Other ppl come in too, because the microwave is there. And gee, it's hard to make microwave popcorn without a microwave. ^^

let's see, how should I describe my days. I usually get up in time for breakfast, and then most of my classes are in the morning, so I walk half an hour. See, I'm an off-campus student at WLU, but I'm staying at a Mennonite residence on UW campus. There's about 12 of us WLU students here at Conrad Grebel. But I get up, and walk to school, allowing my pills to kick in. then I go to class, run back for lunch, and if I have to, run back to class, but that's only on Thursdays. For the rest of the day, I look over my notes, and organize them. I do follow-up readings and I schedule the readings that I do over the weekend. Then, after supper, I pretty much have a loose study period, that often gets broke by things like painting and other fun things. Eventually, I throw the window and pay attention to the things ppl are telling me online. Lol. The only really bad thing is that I'm facing the West, so I get all the afternoon sun, which makes my room really hot. I'm on the top floor, so I got the highlights, which are cool. But the glare! Oh the Glare on my computer! Oh yes, my computer. It's brand new. I couldn't take Sal with me, because it's too slow. So my parents bought me a new computer with assistive technology. It's so nice. I took the hard drive out of Sal, and put it in this one, so I figure it's Sal2. But now with my internet working, I got everything straightened out. So Now I'm looking for photoshop or something to make a layout for Amhelaki Misadventures. I also got a new scanner and printer, all mine!!! it's really sweet! And I might be able to get a bursury because of my learning disabilities. what? Didn't you know? I have LD, and ADD, and Asperger Syndrome. I think I mentioned it a couple of times. Oh well, maybe I should add it to my fact sheet. Anyways, this is the first time that I've been able to get real help for school, so I'm very happy. The only really sad thing is that I miss everyone at home. Wahhh! And I know that ppl miss me! So, since I have Fridays off, I'm coming home for Thanksgiving. Yahhh! I have to save up my money. That'll be hard. I found an anime store where I've been renting DVDs. It's really nice, tonnes of titles. I've finished Fruits Basket, and I'm working on Inuyasha, Gundam Wing, Escaflowne, Utena, Slayers Next, and Fushigi Yuugi. Unfornuately, I have to stop renting them every night. Well, now that I have internet, it shouldn't be as much as a problem.

hmm, let's see, what else? Should I describe my room? There's not much, since it's almost as big as a double, but it's too small for two ppl. Which is why it's a single. I think that it was supposed to be given to a don, but hey, here I am. Since it is a new room, I have the new set of furniture. The desk is the bottom part of the bunk bed, while the actually bed is above. It's neat because you can take the bed down, which is what I've done. There's really not a lot to say about it. I have two little drawer sets, one that I use as a nightstand, the other as a sort of counter. Then I have the closet unit in the corner. That's a little of a pain, because it's blocking an electricity outlet.

oh yeah, to anyone who's ever been confused by the Utena movie, after getting into the Black Rose Collection of the series, it starts to make sense. Isn't that spooky? **shudders**

well, I think that I should be going.
