Leavin for College... posted by Marvin on Wednesday, August 22, 2001, at 22:03:39:
> Yep, at 9 tommorow morning, I'll be making the big move to college. It just doesn't seem that this day should be so close. Also, you truely find out how much stuff you own when you have to pack it up and move it. But, yeah, anyways, I'll still be on RinkWorks and stuff (another good thing: my college has a T(some number 1 or 3) line, so now I'll be even better at MoleBot. But if anyone is interested in my address or telephone number, just leave me a /memo in chat or e-mail me and I'll send it to you, starting tommorow and stuff. But anyways, talk to you then! > > Mar "How To Identify Trees from a Very Long Ways Away" vin
Well, I moved in last Saturday. I've written about fall orientation on my blog (linked below), for those who want to read about what I've been doing for much of the past week. I began actual *classes* Wednesday (August 22), and so far they haven't been all that difficult (though I know that is probably soon to change, but oh well).
Anyway... yes, my university has a T1 line as well. Unfortunately, I've become rather accustomed to my cable modem at home, and it seems as if the residence hall network is almost always bogged down by the likes of Gnutella, Kazaa, and Audiogalaxy. Not that I'm against that sort of program, mind you; I absolutely love them, but not when everyone gets transfer rates of only 3KB/s as a result. :)
On the brighter side, though, I did receive a brand new Pentium 3/800 laptop from Gateway, with a 15" (yes, that's not a misprint) TFT screen. Nicer than my desktop system I've got at home. Yes, of *course* I absolutely love it, why do you ask? :)
