I finally saw Linnet today! Apparently she lives only a couple of blocks from me.
Geology class: interesting, but I was half-asleep because some maintenance guys were running loud machinery on the street at 8:30 am. It doesn't help that I'm still not getting a decent amount of sleep, and I blame that largely on the bed. Mom and Dad offered to bring down a twin futon mattress to put on top of mine, so I can sleep on something more comfortable and familiar.
Mom sent me an e-mail today. Dad just taught her how to do it, but she hasn't quite got the hang of a keyboard. Half the letter was in caps, another bit in italics. It was a very amusing read.
My first day on the job was basically training. We shelved a few books, then made sure some more were in order. It will be a nice, quiet job. And I'll learn where absolutely everything is. Also, I learned some technical library terms like "range" and "section." I walked around on the ground floor before my shift started and found the language part of the reference area. I was in heaven.
After dinner I spent most of the evening downstaris in the rec room. One of the English guys brought over Animal House from Barnhart and we spent about ten minues figuring out how to hook up the VCR to the television. Some of the scenes in the movie were filmed here. After playing ping pong for a bit and watching others play pool (I tried last night, and I absolutely blow) I watched Nip/Tuck with another fan. I hope there are Lost fans around tomorrow, and CSI fans on Thursday. Looks like I might not need my own tv after all.
I don't think I'm eating enough for the amount of energy I'm expending, because I'm almost always hungry. Maybe I should use some of that huge chunk of meal points I have leftover from last week.
Wore my Boondocks Saints shirt and got LOTS of compliments.
There is a Canadian dictionary in reference. I shit you not.
