College: Day 2
Today was better. I arrived in class at 12:29 and 30 seconds, just barely in time. The psych teacher was the first one to actually be on time and ready to go. The class room was pretty full so I ended up getting a chair in the front of the room against a wall. The teacher ended up being at a 90 degree angle to me for the majority of the class, so I had to have my legs off to the side. Note: whoever invented the integrated desk (where the tabletop is physically joined with the chair) deserves to have bad things happen to them. My back is now sore.
Class ended early so I ended up with two and a half hours of free time. Normally this would be great, but my laptop has yet to be programed to use the college’s WiFi network yet. The security measures are actually pretty decent, although it gets in the way of connecting. The SSID is not broadcast and I’m pretty sure that association happens using a radius database, although I’m not sure. I ended up going to the cafeteria and buying a $6.86 cheeseburger meal and playing Warcraft III. The game crashed as I got toward the end because there were more units on the map than my Toughbook could handle (the downside of not having dedicated graphics.
I’m actually writing this entry in order to kill time waiting for my math class to start. So far this has taken less than five minutes. I still have an hour to go. Random note: there are 5 laptops in the cafeteria at the moment, as well as one in use desktop and around 30 people not using a computer.
Although I like my psychology class and I’m pretty sure that it will be interesting, I don’t think that I want to study it further, although not for lack of interest. I simply do not want to be able to analyze my personality in excruciating detail. I already ponder my existence and life goals far too much. I’m fairly certain that if I were to have some sort of extra training in the matter that I would analyze myself to the point of loosing my mind. The general idea I have to use in order to find meaning in the grand scheme of things is that “Life’s purpose is just one big lie. In order to believe the big lies you have to believe the little ones.”
This is starting to turn into an essay or paper or something (this is what happens when I get bored with a computer, no games, and no internet). I’ve already read through every page cached in Firefox.
