A favorite hobby returns.
So, Friday the helpdesk called me back, saying that my internet was fixed. Hooray, right?
I ask Meghan to help me lug it back across campus, and when we got it back to my room, I set it back up and plugged everything back in... logged on... clicked on IE... and nothing. Hoooooow wonderful.
Over lunch, I told Courtney about it, and she said we would take it back to the helpdesk Monday, and she would give them a good lashing. She also told me that she'd play around with the computer this weekend, to see if she could figure anything out.
So, tonight she and Meghan were hanging out with me in my room, and Courtney got my internet to work again. I cheered, and then immediately started playing on it. It has been much too long since I've been able to use the internet on this computer. I missed it. I also missed the ability to play around on the internet in my undies. Haha.
You think I'm joking.
This weekend was pretty wonderful. Friday night, Courtney, Meghan and I went out to First Friday, where we played casino games, bingo, ate Dippin Dots, and just hung out. Chris got to campus later that night, and we stayed up much too late talking... and as a result spent most of Saturday watching tv and napping. That evening was dinner out with the group, then back to more tv.
It actually doesn't sound like much, but it was probably one of the best birthday presents I've gotten in a long time. It made me smile.
Tomorrow, it's back to the real world. Well, not really - tomorrow, the real world gets a day off. I have class. How freaking thrilling. Plus, I have a lot of reading to do, as well as looking for 10 articles on cyborgs (wtf?). I'm already sooooo beyond ready for this semester to be over. But I'm not looking forward to going back to Steak n Shake full time for a couple months. Nor am I really thrilled about going off to grad school. Me thinks I have to find something in the future to start looking forward to.
