why is it...?

... that when I'm finally picking up speed in my stats (bear with me. 2000-something sounds PRETTY good to me) I'm not actually posting very much? I wish I had so much success when I actually had something to say.
It's not that I don't have things to say, I just havn't had time.

I've been very busy. I've been working on putting linux on my iBook and configurating it. It's a wonderful learning experience. I love Mac OS and I don't think I really need linux- in fact I'm so tight space-wise that I actually should only have one OS on my computer, dual booting is almost a problem.
But the learning experience makes it all worthwhile. I still don't know much- but I know a whole lot more than I knew even just a week or two ago!
Eventually if I have time, I'll compile everything that worked for me and put it up here. I know many sites already have put that sort of thing online, but some tips don't work on all machines (I've tested them) and it's just a good idea to post them, if only to keep them handy for reference (my own) - a notebook is physical, I cannot consult a notebook I left at home if I'm travelling. A note on my computer would be handier- but if I'm having problems with my OS, not really. I can go online anytime, though.
Anyway, it looks to me like I'm getting more and more command-line oriented. I've tried some graphical utilities which have in the background exectued some commands I never wished them to (just opening my Disk Utility program on my mac made me have to reinstall yaboot *I think*- it could be something else but I think that's where the problem came from)

Well got to go

theme ideas

I realize I havn't been blogging as much recently as I used to. I've been very busy, and when I'm not busy, I'm not near a computer, or I just don't feel like blogging.

But here is an idea for my faithful reader(s?)...
In german class- yes, I need to take german- I need to animate a debate in a few weeks (not sure exactly when) on an interesting topic that preferably isn't too technical considering my level in german. If you have any ideas of interesting debates, tell me in a comment :)

I don't really want to have a political debate. That's too common and also too complicated. I think something funny and lighter would be better.

Maybe we could do a theme on blogging! I could give stats, talk about different blogs I've seen, and we could ask the class if they have blogs, what they put on it, if it's for friends and family or on the contrary for the WWW but not people they know in real life, debate whether a blog needs to have pictures, text, video, audio, what the point of blogging is, etc...

3 days, 1 emotional rollercoaster

I've been "back" in my student life for 3 days since this week-end... And since then, I've laughed so hysterically in the library that I was in tears holding back my laugh- I was reading a book about stupid things students have written in school papers. The funniest, though, were the excuses parents wrote for their kids. And some school rules were pretty funny, too.

I've been a pain to the cafeteria about the prices. In the other university in the city, a sandwich is 1,85 euros. Here, the same sandwich is sold 2,30 euros!! It's the same organisation, it's not like it's an independant cafeteria. The prices should be the same. The lady didn't even believe me. She was so dubious that I even doubted myself, until I realized that I'm sure about the 85 cents bit, and it can't be 2,85 euros, because that's more expensive than a whole meal with a Resto U ticket. And I'm not about to pay more for a sandwich than for a whole meal, and I obviously ate sandwiches often last year. So I'm right, she's wrong.

I've been trying to plan my month of October, but it keeps getting more and more complicated, and I'm just not sure of anything anymore.

I've also figured out the social security, finally. At least I think/hope so.

As I said, I've received my scholarship, which was blissful... Especially since most students don't get their money in their account until the end of every month, and I get mine right at the start!! Some don't even start getting money until December or January... So that was a pleasant surprise.

Last night was the Agape barbecue, lots of people came :)

And let's see... I fainted on Monday...

And yesterday with Gaelle, we had a Windows/Microsoft bashing party in class lol... I think the teacher likes listening to us. While we're trying to figure out our Java together (we're supposed to work together) it's also kind of funny to listen to us, because she's constantly comparing it to C and complaining that it's not C, and I'm always complaining that we're not using Eclipse, so it doesn't pick up typos until compilation.
Fun :p
