(no subject)

Whenever I come to school, something up here has to do something frustrating to the internet. Gah. This time I can't get the ethernet in my room to work, and my RA does not seem to be around much. Last night I tried to use the wireless in the student union building, but my computer seemed to think it was an unsecured connection (despite having used it just fine the day before), and wouldn't let me do anything. I'm in the library right now, and my floor in my dorm has a study room with computers, but I want my computer to work right, thanks. I don't really feel comfortable spending a lot of time messing about online on public computers when other people might need to use them for school work.

I don't have class today, so I've sort of been at loose ends since getting here. Now I want to go to class just for something to do that isn't futilely messing with the ethernet or reading the books I brought. (Not that I object to reading my books, but I don't want to run through them too quickly.)

I was going to talk about Sarah Palin, but my thoughts aren't clarified enough even for me to start getting them out right here, so I'm not going to bother. I do very much hope, though, that all the vetting missteps prove helpful to the Obama campaign, because I do not want John McCain or Sarah Palin at the head of my government.

in which I whine. feel free to skip

In dorm computer lab, but I think I might be driven away soon. Someone's alarm is going off, behind a locked door.

It did this yesterday, too. FOR HOURS. WTF is up with this person going away and leaving their bloody alarm to go off where everyone else on the floor (and the ones above and below, I imagine) has to listen to it? It's an alarm! These things are meant to be annoying, so that you will be willing to get up and make them stop as soon as possible!

Whoever lives in that room needs to COME BACK AND TURN OFF THE BLOODY ALARM.

Also, I want someone to help me figure out the ethernet thing. I want my computer back. I want to be able to access the internet and all my documents, and I want to be able to go on instant messengers without feeling guilty that I'm not doing schoolwork on a public computer. Also all the things I have bookmarked.

Gah. This is annoying.

/end whine

Also, there are exactly two weeks until my 21st birthday. This is a bit...o.O I'm still sort of incredulous that I'm in my twenties. Eep. XD
