Getting Connected

It is always an interesting experience to start afresh in a new environment. Being one of the modern day technology-reliant babies, I was looking forward to get myself connected to the basic necessities of the 21st century, telephone and Internet connections.

My day started slow as I walked around campus to get hold of the needed textbook for my class this evening. I hoped to get some reading done before class as I used to but to my avail, both the campus store and library did not have it. Nevertheless, I did managed to check out the wide range of campus merchandise being sold (something I had never experience before). Minga and I went to the bank to check out some "interesting" activities in my account before picking up another international student from Etophia for lunch. We ate at a local well-known Chinese buffet, made a trip to Wal-Mart, and head over to Woodman's again. It was simply super that we still managed to get back on campus 2 hour before my first class and I managed to cram in 1.5 hours of sleep!

Class was interesting. A total of 26 students turned up rather than the 11 that were expected. Since is a summer semester catered for those who are coming back to school to get a certification, we had an interesting group of people. I survived my first session and enjoyed the walk back to my room. Instead of hitting the sheets, I spent a good 3 hour in the TV room getting myself acquainted with Lydia from California, and the basic cable we have on TV. Fellowship over popcorn, Law & Order, and a few episodes from the Disney channel... it was fun.

The night wrapped itself up by me connecting my phone and receiving my campus PC ID. Now, I will be accessible to the rest of the world and look forward to keeping you guys updated.
