After a very busy and good weekend, it's back to the dorm life. I actually travelled up to Gainesville yesterday to catch the FSU basketball game, but someone didn't plan things out so well, and dorms didn't open until today. Luckly my friend offered her couch, so I crashed at her place last night, and got yet another person hooked on Amelie.
Moved in this afternoon then, and finally got my laptop. And I love it! It doesn't feel heavy at all in my backpack, and the screen is awesome. I've been messing around with it all afternoon and trying out the wireless internet around campus. This evening then I've been fighting with it to format everything and start from scratch, as I had to create some Linux partitions, and I don't want all those crazy programs that OEM's like Dell always put on their computers. So I got WinXP Pro from school for free (the perks of being an engineer) and so I'm currently working on getting all that up and running.
This amuses me to no end, a 7 year old boy got caught in a stuffed animal game machine, and had to be rescued by a locksmith. I hope they let him keep at least one of the animals, as that would definitely work as a great story.
Classes start today, and it looks like I'll be having a fun semester. I'm taking two graduate courses for the first time, one where I build my own autonomous robot, and the other is advanced data structures (programming). And then I'm taking electronic circuits, and computer networking (TCP/IP fun!). I'm really looking foward to the robotics class, so hopefully mine will work by the end of the semester. And then I can complete my plans for taking over the world with my army of robot slaves*. Muhahaha!
