Back from the orientation after a long morning.  Text books and stuff will cost around $350, thankfully I have the nice PTA scholarship to pay it off.  :3  I'll be picking my stuff up tomorrow for basically free which is awesome.  There was a comedian there afterwards too named Micheal Dean Ester, he was pretty funny.  Wasn't really expecting a free comedy show, probably to relieve the bombshell of the morning.

Apparently each credit hour in-class will transfer to about three hours out of class studying and working as well.  If I have 17 credit hours that means I'll have about 51 hours outside of class.  :P  If I sleep for eight hours each day I will be doing college stuff ~10 hours per day on average and ~6 hours of free time per day on average.  Oh boy.

Also yeah college kids are pretty nice I guess.  I saw two classmates from High School there.  Although, since the surrounding area around the campus is pretty dirty some guy in a hoodie called me Harry Potter, hehe.

I'm a wizard.

Oh, and Serious Sam 3.  Sweet wasn't expecting that.

The amount of "homework" varies greatly by class and your personal aptitudes. They just want to be sure you are ready to allocate enough time for study in a worst case scenario.

[ToonyMan]

Yeah I don't really expect to do too hot unless a study anyway.

Sure, we have no power, but last night's dinner made me happy. Rice, chili, cheese, and chips. Simple enough, but a good meal nonetheless. Thank goodness for gas stoves.
Also, I discovered last night that Steam still works without internet! I can't talk with people on it or play anything multiplayer, but I've got VVVVVV and Braid and other things. Good thing we have a portable power thingy on which to charge stuff. I also have a spare laptop battery, though I don't like the idea of shutting everything down and starting it back up (as opposed to hibernation mode).
At least it's not winter.

I joined the soccer team today. Hello, an hour and a half of running.

A wing of the hurricane hit town, but that didn't stop me (or my sister and nephew) from jumping into the ocean and catching some waves, as well as signing my nephew into the Hurricane Club, where fear of the weather doesn't exist, but fun takes it's place. He's got an idea for rock climbing, but needs to work on running from waves and jumping to the nearest safe spot as the surge passes by, and how to fight heavy currents if caught in them, or how to ride a surge back to shore like a penguin. Other activities include playing football in the middle of the surges, taking a blanket and catching the heavy winds, and additionally, provided we have one available, and a long stretch of empty road, wind surfing on a skateboard.

I hope we're not the only ones crazy enough to make the most out of hurricanes.

EDIT: ↓
So? As long as you know how to read the waves and the storm, as well as how to avoid/get out in case you fail, you're relatively safe. Plus, it's not like we go solo all the time, and we have limits when we do so. We practically grew up around these storms.

Plus, we also saw some other boogie boarders jump out to catch waves further out. They drifted a good several blocks away, according to what they stated when they returned.

You do realize that is the #1 way to die in a hurricane.

He seems both happy and healthy.  Like he's lost a bit of weight.

Also, there is a Polish woman in my German class!

And I got to see one of my friends down the hall from set theory, and another friend sits just behind me in that class.  It's gonna be great!

Hey hey hey >_<

Slightly less happy is the fact that I have three chapters of a math textbook to read by next Tuesday, but that was why I took the Professor Poland Course of Doom this semester--so at the very least, I wouldn't be completely bored.


Also, kind of funny story.  I went down to the math library and snuggled up in one of the big leather chairs to fall asleep.  Since I tend to wake up every 15 minutes or so in order to make sure no one is stealing my stuff (which I am usually hugging with a death-grip), I was awake enough to see this dude with a red bow tie and yellowish suit sit down nearby.  I, being tired and grumpy, thought "fucking physicists" and rolled over.

Guess who was teaching the set theory course I walked into 20 minutes later?

[Aklyon]

Hehe.

[ToonyMan]

I take back everything I've said of this test.  This test is amazing.

[Aqizzar]

Why are they both mongoloid reptile people?

Also, oh my God, that test is awesome now.  It's a dating sim.

[kaijyuu]

Her face is plain scary.

[SirAaronIII]

A minty scent just floated in here. I love mints.

Also, if you can do that part over and over again, I suggest you get them drunk off their asses.

[ToonyMan]

It's a dating sim.

It's the most inane test I have ever took and it's taking for damn ever.  All of these plot developments man.

I seriously just got a Homestuck-style chat box.

Alcoholstuck.

[Aqizzar]

Alcoholstuck.

Why does a test on alcohol include eavesdropping on people's incredibly boring IM conversations?
