Amazing how empty my life is without the Internet being easily accessible. I have to take notes on my cell phone of all the things I need to look up online, and then sit at this coffee shop, Sureshot<\/a>, and do my business. It’ll only be a few more days until I’m connected again, but it’s pretty difficult. If only they sent me my iPhone sooner…
\nI’m trying to find friends. So far I haven’t done much with my roommates in terms of parties or other gatherings. Yesterday I headed down to GameWorks<\/a>, just to see what sort of BEMANI they had there (best deal: pop’n music FEVER!)… I’m going again tomorrow because there’s a $10 flat deal for the whole night, and there’s bound to be a lot of people there.
\nI’m seeing if my department has some sort of orientation, because I obviously hope I can make friends with other computational linguists, or whatever. Besides that, all I can think of is just walking up and down the “Ave,” or University Way<\/a>, and seeing what sort of stuff is going on. I wonder if there are any obvious social situations I’m forgetting about… minus intentionally forgetting about all the beer-bashes on Greek way.
\nIn my free time (which is all the time), I’m plowing through Paper Mario, which is great – and Odin Sphere is in the mail. I might try composing some music, too, but I’m a little wary about doing anything too creative – because chances are I’ll need the Internet for some reference or something. Argh.
\nedit<\/b> oh yeah, Apple had their event today. Good move with the splitting of Classic and Touch. Storage vs. Wi-Fi. The iPod touch looks confusingly like an iPhone, though…
\nalso<\/b> holy shit!! iPhone 8GB at $400?? Means I’m getting it in a few days, prob!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
