Everyone packed their bags and went to bed early last night to be ready for 8am class this morning. It only took us about 10 minutes to get to campus and park so we were a little early and settled in trying to get WiFi in the auditorium where all of our classes (except anatomy lab, duh) are held.
Surprisingly or not so surprisingly (could be a disaster during a flood) there were no floor outlets for us to plug in our computers. There were a couple on the wall, but it was better to sit in the middle of the auditorium, so I had to recharge during lunch.
I've discovered a pretty simple way to type text onto pdf files in Preview, so that made note taking a lot easier. I think I might get Acrobat because it has a lot more functionality. Professors put all the PowerPoints into pdf so they can't be copied, so it helps to be typing on my notes rather than scribbling the slide contents plus lecture like 95% of the class was doing today.
My school email's busted and it's only the first day of class. When I log in, my inbox is empty (everyone else has 30 emails) and I don't receive emails I send myself. I tried sending from the school email to myself, but the sender is an email address that is similar, but not exactly the same as mine. And when I reply, it bounces back because that one doesn't actually exist. The helpdesk hotline couldn't help (the irony), so I'm waiting for someone to call me back and tell me what the problem is.
Now I'm back at the house and it looks like a thunderstorm is coming in. We're overdue for one...it's been almost a week since the last time we had one.
