I despise UT.
I could probably list off a few reasons, both realistic and sarcastic, as to why I despise the college I chose to attend, the only one I even cared to attend, but I'm just going to mention one.
Internet
It has got to be the most retarded thing ever the way they run their internet usage over here. First off, having to pay for internet at college seems to be odd, compared to the colleges my friends attend. Second, it's not like a "pay to use the internet as much as you want" but instead a "pay to only use x amount of internet a week". This shouldn't be too bad, I mean, I could pretend the internet cost was wrapped up in my tuition, and I get 5 GB of Bandwidth a week. However, it doesn't work that way, and I may sound paranoid when I say this, but I think my roommate might be jacking some of my internet.
I didn't get an e-mail telling me I was at 80%, or even one telling me I was over until I was at 112% of my usage. This doesn't just happen. I can go a full week and end it with less than 80% usage. Not to mention, when I left Friday at 5 my internet was not over 80%. I got back Saturday at 12 ish, and by 6 I was sitting at 112%.
Someone please tell me how that happens. I know that 2 hours of Skype, aren't enough to do that. So, as for my paranoia. If you use the wired internet in your room, the port becomes associated with your account. Well, I've never really thought about turning it off when I do anything, but I think I'm going to stop using the wired port all together. I'm still in the semi-trust my roommate stage, and I could totally see him jumping over, and plugging into my port to watch movies and stuff especially when I don't come back.
Aside from thinking it was him, I have a slight suspicion that sometimes UT just decides to send people over for the fun of it. I mean, they want me to spend more money on the better internet plans...
Hence my disdain for UT.
So, I am at the Library, checking my Facebook, and E-mails, and updating my blog. Win?
On a lighter... ish note, my week.
I had lunch with Summer, and we decided to have a crazy day of adventure since our classes had gotten canceled. We got her roommate to come along with us, and we started the 20 minute trek to my car. I had just showed them the "Dude You Have No Quran" video, and it was stuck in their heads. It's Amarillo's Antwan Dodson.. Which tells you how strange my hometown has become since I left.
When we finally got in my car we started the drive to IKEA. I was the only one who had been, and so I felt obliged to take them to see what it was like. We had some fun there, and killed some time. Next, we went to Target, because Summer needed to shop for some shirts. She found one non-shirt that she liked, but decided to hold off so we could go to this strip mall next to IKEA.
We walked in a few stores, and I found an awesome Peter Pan outfit, that Summer said no to. =/ Summer was on the search for a Pocahontas shirt, which just didn't exist. Most of the stores we went in we came out empty handed, and I think the only person who bought something was Kelsey, her roommate. I was texting Sara about watching Glee, and we set a time, and finally left to go get some dinner.
We are so indecisive. We drove all the way back to campus and couldn't pick a place. We eventually went to this place Summer suggested, and it was really good. We only had like 30 minutes to make it back and get to Sara's, which is kind of impossible. Well, we got back, and made the long trek, and had to stop at our dorms to get stuff, and Sara called me. Her recorder hadn't recorded it. Sad face.
I jumped on some sites, and couldn't find it yet, it was only 8:30. So, I went back to my room, and kept looking for it. It popped up at 8:45, so I downloaded it, and went to watch it with Summer and Kelsey. It was good, but Toxic got stuck in my freaking head! Gah!
After watching I remembered I had to annotate some poems for my poetry class, so I stayed up till 12 ish finishing up that. It was worth it to spend the day getting my nerves back though.
There's my Tuesday. The rest of the week was a ton of work and sleepless nights. =P
On Wednesday I did all my regular classes. Had a test in my logic class at the stadium, which is even further from my poetry class than it usually is, so I was expecting to be late. However, I finished the test early, got to class early, and even got to talk to my poetry class about my blog, making me sound even nerdier. I think it went over well though, which is good. I also found out someone else blogs in there. Her name is Allie, and she's got quite the awesome blog. http://onlytheclassiest.blogspot.com/
After that I started some of my homeworks, and then ended up at the Texas Union to start the homework for my Research class. We went through 1 a and b pretty easily, but got stuck on 1 c. Well... We were there till at least 12 or so trying to figure the problem out. Crazy...
On Thursday we had a group of us get lunch together, and then started to try and work on it again. No luck... So, we e-mailed out TA, and asked if we could come in to talk to him since we were all stuck. He said yes, so we ran over there. He gave us "hints" which we still couldn't decipher. I did as much of my Calculus as I knew how, and went to my discussion after meeting with our TA. Luckily, my TA went over every single problem I couldn't figure out, which makes me feel better that I wasn't the only one who couldn't get them. Later, we met up at the Union again that night to work on it. We skipped it to work on some other problems, and then got stuck on it some more. We were at the Union till 2:40 ish that night. I was awake to see October Spartan kick September into yesterday.
Friday was long also. I went to my 8 class, and my 10 class. The only two I had. I got lunch with Sara, and then started to work on my Research which was due at 5. After working on it by myself for a while, we all met up at the library at 2 ish to finish. We finally started to work out 1c, which gave us 2. Enrique left at like 3:50 ish to turn in his paper and Jacob's, while Ramon and I still had to finish. I finished at 4:40 and started packing up, while Ramon finished up writing. I was out of the library at 4:45 with both our papers.
I ran to RLM, to turn in our papers. I realized running with a laptop in your backpack isn't too easy, and that the construction on campus sucks!
I made it on time, however, which is quite a relief. I then ventured to my car to go to my brother's for the night. I always love hanging out with him, and how nerdy we can be. We played TF2 for a bit, and then just hung out on the internet. =P
We also went to eat at IHOP which was awesome. I miss me some Stuffed French Toast with STRAWBERRIES! That's right! I had strawberries. =D
Saturday I spent the majority of it in my room. I watched an episode of Criminal Minds, and Merlin. Both Epic, but Merlin was joyful epic, while Criminal Minds was stressful epic. I love them both. =D
There you go. I've caught you up, and probably killed your eyes from staring at the screen for too long. I apologize. =D
Love You Guys!
