my grandfather, as we know him, passed away today.

empties a person of energy. I’m so disappointed in this program right now.

and having an archetypal psychology class where the teacher tells us that a solid grounding in myth is unimportant to archetypal psychology.

happenin’ today, not even in class. However, today a group of us will be going to The Brothers Grimm. Should be good times.

The only roadbump today that MAY happen is that they put the books I want to check out on reserve so I can’t actually check them out.

We’ll see about that though, they didn’t tell me that I couldn’t have them and they weren’t listed as reserve as of yet.

so here’s hopin’

I love libraries.

Especially libraries that have every single book required for next semester.

Amount of money saved by doing this: $370.

good times.

about today. just lots of screaming.

there will be a letter. demanding an apology for this.

you people who will say that it’s just me flipping out again are wrong, this time even the idiots were complaining about how bad it was.

so far the facilities, not impressed.

I know how much you people lizzove the bloggin de la froyd. It’s what keeps me doing this, in all actuality. If it weren’t for the stats averaging 50 visitors per day, I’d probably stop this blogging business altogether.

because I”m lazy. I mean, c’mon…THREE INCOMPLETES AT ONCE!?!? Yeah, totally lazy.

But since I know what you people want, I feel it is only fair to warn you that the bloggin’ may not happen over the next five days. Tomorrow I fly into california and get to visit the King Tut exhibit with a few friends from Pacifica. It’s going to be a blast.

Then we go to the separate campus at Pacifica…where we meet our dopplegangers, our shadows…the E group of Mythology students. See, we, the G group, we represent. We f’ing keep it real. The others, they’re just fronting. They are most definitely NOT COOL. I could be wrong about this, but I doubt it. So we may have to have a turf war to establish the truth of the matter of G group dominance. We’ll be king o’ the hill in no time.

But aside from that, the campus where we’re staying was set up originally(like 40 years ago) as a retreat…that’s like a retreat from the modern world ‘n shit. The issue here is internet: I had asked about it, and our program coordinator seemed pretty positive about there being internet available.

I know about administration and their promises though…that’s why the warning.

If I don’t blog, don’t worry, I’m not dead, though my spirit is from lack of the internet.

you may not understand: the internet sustains me.

done, just needs massive editing.

I thought, for one instant, he was being brilliant…but then I realized no, he was just being lazy.

have to admit this is pretty funny.

someone loan me about 10,000 dollars.

I need this.

damn, I hate being broke.

am I creeping out anybody except me by staying past 10PM each of the last three nights working on stuff in the office?

because if not, that’s good. Because this office is so damned cool.

from both Windows 98 and Windows XP laptops.

a big thank you to the gentleman from comp support who got back to me with the IP address of the printer so I could use that.

Ok. So this morning, I called Computer services. I had two things on my agenda: 1, get my laptop set up to use the printer that faculty had to use; and 2, get my faculty email set up.

Agenda item one: “Can I get help to set up my win98 laptop to print to the 3rd floor printer? “
Answer: No. Won’t work with Win98.
“All right, can I get my WinXP laptop to work on that printer?”
Answer: Waitwait…you’ve got two of your own laptops? “Yes” Let me check.
30 seconds go by. Finally they get back on the phone. “No that won’t work. The easiest thing to do would be to check out a laptop, get the form from your dean…”
“No, I’ve already got a laptop to lug around, I don’t need another one. Anyway, I’ll cross that hurdle when I come to it. Can you activate my faculty email address?”
Answer: We don’t have you listed as a GA.

good fucking lord. Why the hell would I call you people to set up a faculty account unless I were faculty? People have been registering for my class ALL FUCKING SUMMER!!!! And why the hell would I want to check out a crappy school laptop when I’ve my own? And I know they’ve got a shortage of them, so why would they be so insistent that I take one?

update: they called with the ip address, so I can set that printer up with no problems now.

And then the meeting with the grad dean because I’m not going to be there on Thursday:
Don’t date your undergrads, because you’re a professional now. You’ve got to have at least 6 credits. We’ll help with all your graduate level work. Don’t worry about formatting thesis, if you have any questions just talk to us.

REALLY????, wow, that’s just so cool! So you’re telling me that you guys are infinitely unhelpful to actual grad students(like I was last year, when I had to find out all the above information on my own(the dating of the undergrads was the worst lesson to learn, my heart…still broken)), and unless they’ve got a GA you don’t really care?

Thanks guys. BSU Administration: you fucking suck.

is wrong with paulbunyan this morning? I’ve had molasses in january pour faster than this internet!
