Day two

So things aren't looking too great right now.  My classes are fine but my boyfriend has been really sick since saturday.  He had a fever of 104 yesterday and almost went to the hospital, but hes somewhat better now.  I felt tired all day and now I have a headache that won't go away and my body feels sorta cold and achey.  It would be just my luck to get seriously ill in the first week of new classes.

Besides that for my media class i've downloaded some of the software and created a flickr account as well as a second life account, but currently they're just sitting there since i have no idea what to do with them.  After i finish writing this i'm going to look up old family pictures for class tomorrow morning.  Luckily my dad is a computer nerd and scanned all of our old photos years ago.

So i'm very new to this whole blogging world, i'll more than likely use this as an outlet to bitch and complain about the stressfully boring life that i have.  I live on campus at SUNY Stony Brook on Long Island, NY.  I'm originally from NC but i've lived in NY and have been supporting myself for over three years now.  I'm putting myself through college via student loans and grants while working part time at a grocery store. I'm now a first semester senior finally after transferring colleges twice; doing so has put me about a year behind where i'd like to be.

Today was my first day back to class for my spring '09 semester, and this blog is for creative/thinking purposes for my Introduction to Visual Interpretation class, taught by Professor Phillip Baldwin.  The class really grabbed my interest since a lot of the software we will be exploring is mac-related and i just got a new macbook for christmas and have no idea how to maximize my use of it.  Sooo we'll see where this narrative takes me throughout the semester.
