back to school

so, i've moved back to my college town. first off, it's kinda boring, although i did just run into the RA group and got lots of hugs and such, which was fun. but the town is kinda dead. most of my friends aren't here yet or if they are they are busy, so i'm mostly left to sit around and watch tv. i need a wireless modem for my computer so that i can get internet access in my apartment, so i am doomed to walk to campus if i want to use the library computers (like i am now). i already ordered one, i just have to wait a little while until it comes.

i'm feeling a little nervous about this school year. that usually doesn't happen. i think it's because it's my last year, and if i screw something up i don't have much of a buffer zone to make it up. before this, if i needed to make up a class or something, there was always next year. but this year it's now or never. i guess that has my nerves up a little bit.

a few more idea-careers that i've thought about:
1) camera man, minnesota twins: what could be better than getting paid to watch the twins? and camera operator would easily be more appreciated than being an umpire.

2) research and development, dungeons and dragons: alright, i'm a nerd. but this would be a fun job. i've been reading the blogs and articles written by the guys who already have this job, and it seems like (aside from having really long days) they mostly get paid to sitting around playing d&d, plus they have access to new products before they are released and get a ton of free shit. this would be extremely fun, if slightly self-indulgent.

3) music journalist: taking a page from mr. rob gordon of the movie "hi-fidelity" on this one. this job combines two of the things that i am best at: listening to music and complaining about music (ok, maybe it's not that simple, but it's gotta be close). touring with bands, discovering new music, yeah, i think i'd like this one.

i think that's about it.
