Hmm, this whole no internet thing isn't very cool. I've found myself spending time studying in the library for these two reasons: air conditioning and I can check my email. I never study in the library. I don't know why, really - I think it's just that normally I don't feel like taking the time to walk there and I'm able to get my work done at my apartment anyway (I know most people can't do this). Besides, I like to listen to music while studying, and I hate wearing headphones (it gives me a headache, usually). But now, because I live downhill, my attitude is basically, once I go home, I'm not leaving for the rest of the day, so I had better make sure that I want to go home. So....I go and hang out at the library. It's been okay, though. I've checked my email, visited with friends, etc....Can't really beat that. It was kind of weird, yesterday, though - the power went out in Uris and Olin Libraries and in Uris Hall (possibly other places as well). I don't really know why. It eventually went back on, but I don't know how long it took. It was kind of weird to be in the library without power, though.
I am all moved into the new apartment, though. And many thanks to Amy for helping me move (I'll put up a SHOUTOUT for you soon, Amy, don't worry - I just have little computer access - you know this). The other people who were supposed to help me move are off the hook (they know who they are) - I understand that they had other stuff going on last weekend. It's kind of weird to have all of my stuff in boxes. It makes me realize how little I really need all that stuff, though. I mean, if I can manage without it all for a month, why do I need it at all? This doesn't include kitchen stuff, of course, because the reason I don't need it now is because I'm using other people's stuff. I did need it, and I probably will again. My aunt said she would store the stuff I don't want to take to Connecticut for me, if I want her to, which is great. I had no idea what I was going to do with said stuff. Now I have a solution. Yay!!!
Only two more weeks of classes left, though. It's really hard to believe. I still have two prelims (including one on my birthday) and two finals to get through, but still. Scary. I'll be halfway through with my junior year. Yikes! I still feel like I'm getting away with murder - I think these classes are much easier to handle now than they would have been in a normal semester. And I'm really going to miss being here this fall. It's funny - I know that co-oping is the best thing for me and my future career - it's a great opportunity. But the expense - missing a semester at Cornell - is so, so high. I guess I'll just have to hope that no one forgets about me while I'm gone!
I should do some (school)work, since it's so boring here at work. Six hours to go.....
