So, thanks to the generosity of my parents, and the good graces of T, who hauled it up here for me, I have another TV now. All for the low low price of a couple of slices of leftover Pizza Hut for the delivery boy. This one works, so I have DVDs to watch. Granted, a small number of DVD's but it's better than what I had.
Classes are just around the corner. My nerves are starting to run amock, but I'm getting settled in in the apartment, so at least that's good.
My horse comes up the weekend of the twenty sixth... which kind of makes me sad, I wanted to start riding right away.
My alternate academic advisor, (Read: The head of the Ag program, I love my small college) advised me not to get all of my books right away, but to see what use each instructor plans to make of the books, and see if I even really need one.
Seems weird to me, going to school without books. But, I guess if I don't really need them, it'll save money for other things.
First thing Monday I go and get my student ID, and my parking permit. First thing Wednesday, I have class.
Folks, I gotta tell you, there have been times that I never thought this day would come. I'm finally continuing my education.
... I get to LEARN! From BOOKS! Books that don't have the words "Lane Closure," "Warning Signs," "Emergency Flares," or "Cone Disposition" in them.
I'm downright giddy about that.

Yeah, your advisor's right about books. It really gets annoying when you realize the term is over and you still haven't taken the shrink wrap off of some of 'em.
I bought used when I could. I wound up keeping them all. They wouldn't buy them back. Except for I needed the books I got, it turned out mostly to be a big rip-off.
