Dropping classes like it's hot...

Yeah, I'm back in school now. The summer of fun is over and I'm in a cold, autumn Edmonton and life is very hectic. Reasons? There's a few:

1) My new condo. Nevin and I decided to stay roomies (and learned in our B Law class that we could be considered Common Law partners by December...but probably won't) and got a really nice two bedroom place just off the southeast corner of campus. It's got a nice stone courtyard, balcony, big rooms, and we're the first tenants so everything is brand new. It took me until yesterday to actually get all unpacked and moved in. It's not all complete yet, we still have a few boxes to get rid of, Kolla's bed, need a DVD player and possibly a landline phone. But at least I can start to breathe easier.

2) MY FREAKIN' INTERNET. Wireless sucks, if you can avoid it, DO! Everytime we go to set up this system we go through days of anxiety, hours of help line phone calls, and still end up running a 40' cable between rooms (or through vents). This time I'm not giving in though. I actually connected to our network last night by playing around with it. I don't know what I did, and the connection is incredibly slow...but it works...for now. If we can't improve it I might need some new parts.

3) My timetable is still not complete and I've been in school for almost a week. Last Thursday I dropped 3 classes to try to pick up 3 more. I kept thermo fluids (required), drilling, and business law but dropped biomedical, ancient greek technology, and marketing. Biomedical was interesting but I was in way over my head. I haven't done ANY of the stuff since high school and it was quickly apparent that everyone else in the room (other than a completely lost Dan) was hard core and knew what they were doing. Yeah, dropped that one. Instead I'm now in earth and atmospheric sciences: origin of the earth (basically a geology class and relevant to drilling), world war II, and if I can track down this one professer, a new petroleum course: Natural Gas. (My mom is going to make some stupid joke about how I'm already an expert in Natural Gas and don't need to take a course when the truth is my bowels have been quite clean for some time now...unless I eat food or drink beverages...or get in any car for a long trip)

So hopefully soon I will be able to sit at home and only worry about my homework...just like at Grandma's.
