In and Set

RESnet blocks Quizzilla >_< I'll be filing a complaint....

So, here I am, back at college. The trip over was OK, long yet short (how is that exactly? I have no clue).
I arrived to the room, not finding my roommate Lang, which didn't surprise me. The first few days the freshmen are run ragged. So, Mom, Dad, and I went to buy my books, which all the other sophomores (and a number of freshmen) were also doing. Then I guided Mom and Dad across the Crossing (a bridge over the East Beltline that connects the campus with the new buildings and the apartments). Mom's been wanting to do that for a while, but never seemed to do it. After that, we said goodbye, and I went back to my room to find my roommate still wasn't there. So I decided to run the anti-virus stuff on my computer. One of the policies this year is that you can't have any internet until you can prove your computer is virus-free. But they provide software, so it isn't too much of a problem. Just before I was about to install it, in walks my roommate, ever so briefly. She seemed nice, but she had to go. And I turned my attention to my laptop again. The program was a headache to install, and when it still was scanning after half an hour, I headed to the library to compute.
I came back, killed time with one of my suitemates, and then toured the rooms with Lang once she came back. We were trying to decide what to do with our furniture, but couldn't make up our minds. So we went to dinner instead, and sat with the asian and asian study students (she the first and I'm the second). After dinner, Lang coerced a couple of the boys into coming and moving our stuff, and so our room is now completely rearranged, with plenty of floor space. I have to crawl up the bookcase to get to bed, but I don't mind.
Today I unpacked, but I did take a trip to CVS to pick up a few things. I contemplated renting a movie, but decided against it. So as of right now, I just need to bring up my printer, TV, and fridge, and I will be completely set.

travel, school, family
