i’m going to have to figure something out about posting
Long day. Two hours of legal writing this morning, followed by lunch with some fellow students and our 2L student advisors, followed by a technology seminar (that I found pretty worthless, given I don’t have a PC and I have already explored all the various online resources they were showing us). Then a session about public interest and public service organizations, a quick trip to CompUSA (where I managed to leave my check card…sigh), then home.
I picked up my cut casebooks and they did a pretty good job. My Civ Pro book is smaller than the others and they could have shifted it down a bit in the hole punch to get three holes, but they didn’t, and it only has two holes. Sigh. Doable, but not as nice. Still, I’ve put all my “first day” readings in my “all-in-one” binder and it is SO LIGHT compared to lugging all the books with me.
Update: CM asked about the price—a lean $27 for four casebooks. That includes fairly high sales tax, so the price was pretty good.
Finally, Mr. Angst and I trekked out to an Aikido dojo to see how it was. It was…different…than what I am used to, though not bad at all. We’ll be visiting the other dojo we’re considering this weekend, so we can make a choice before the new month starts.
So, basically, today was long. My feet are a little tired, my shoulders a little sore, and my brain a bit full. I have an assignment for tomorrow that I’ve already begun to work on, but haven’t finished. So, off to schoolwork.

Is your school Mac friendly? We have wireless networking, and I wanted to get my new PB on… so I went to our “Help Desk” and our conversation went like this:
“I wanted to authorize my Mac for the wireless network.”
“We don’t support Macs. You see, they use a completely different operating system.”
“Um, yes, I know. But wireless is wireless. It’s all 802.11b/g and TCP/IP.”
“We don’t support them because we don’t want Macs here.”
Delightful bunch. *sigh* I can still get on the wired network, but it’s irritating.
It does get less hectic, or at least, you get so good at it that it seems less hectic (I say that because I might have lied in the first clause…but I may have gotten so good at lying to myself, I threw in the second to CMA).
You sound like you’re on top of things, even if you don’t feel like it.
Good luck and…way to go so far!
I wouldn’t say my school is Mac FRIENDLY, but they do not mind students using them. MANY people have Macs, both in my class and among the upperclasspeople.
As for getting on our wireless, thankfully my school is part of a larger university that isn’t so wedded to Dell and they have instructions for Mac users. Printing might be a different matter and I am actually going to experiment with that today. I still can’t print from HOME to our network printer, so I am a bit nervous about printing from the library. Eek!
It seems like Macs are multiplying at my school. I’m starting to worry there will be a new wave of viruses and spyware aimed at Macs.
