and i'd go visit IT, except that, my school's campus doesn't have a single map/directory in sight. you can find one online but guess what??? my shiny new netbook could connect to the internet because i don't know my ID and password.
why? because my ID is my student ID # which, for some bizarro reason, isn't on my student ID card? huh? really?!?! and....where *IS* my student ID #???in an email, which i can't access. fucknuggets!!!
but, on the POSITIVE side (because i promised aunt p it wouldn't all be depressing)- i rocked the shit out of my language class. okay, so not REALLY but...i didn't feel totally lost and...i even knew/remember some things that the other 2 girls didn't so i felt pretty good about that. while i'm not totally confident about where my skills are currently at, i feel alright going forward....:::sigh:::
and that's a good feeling....

I love it! You found a silver lining. AND in your language class! It's nice to hear these inspiring examples of how technology has made your life so much easier. They didn't even have student ID's when I was in grad school. They just let the homeless people hang out in the library. And obviously having a student ID is no guarantee that you're going to be safe from other students - especially the ones with a vendetta and a semi-automatic. Oh - silly me. I bet they have metal detectors at the entrance. Be thankful you don't have to sign up to use the TYPEWRITER in the library to write reports and you're number 120 on the list and when you finally get to use it you forget you're WHITE OUT. Or share the only common areas with thousands of smokers. Dear God, I've become one of those old people who start every sentence with, "when I was..." Sorry 'bout that. Did you know that Leonard Nemoy's mother invented WHITE OUT?
