Preparations for School – Almost Complete!

[packbat]

Everything is going fine here in my new dorm. My mom generously came over and gave me a ride to acquire a PC computer (as opposed to the Macintoshes I currently use) so that I might install any needed software for the semester. I still lack a monitor and a power cord, however. She also gave me a ride to a Staples for some printer paper and other necessities, and I got myself some inexpensive black cherry soda at a nearby supermarket.

In the meantime, I've begun to form an acquaintance with a few of the others in my suite. In fact, I have played several games of cards with one of my neighbors, and I have chatted awhile with my roommate as we got dinner at the dining hall. The other three residents of my suite I have met, but not engaged in any prolonged conversations with (although I provided minor assistance to one of them in setting up his X-Box on the network).

Other than that? Now that both my roomie and I have all the necessary cords plugged in, I've moved my dresser back against the wall and set my paintings up in an attractive manner. Also, nanakikun was generous enough to IM me Myst III: Exile (all 3GB!), and I have installed it on my lappy here.

Oh, and classes start tomorrow.
