Aug. 11th, 2006 08:26 pmsuccess!!!! two of nine books for human sit. are bought!! i have virgl's "aeneid" and mason's "gilgamesh". i've been around to different places, mostly barnes&noble's and border's, pricing stuff. a lot of them are supposedly in-store, but they've all been bought already so i can't get them. i'm trying to buy them in austin for the same price or cheaper than i would pay to order them from the bookstore in houston. but i'm thinking that tomorrow i'm gonna just have to order them and deal with it. *sighs* so tonight i'm gonna start reading "aeneid", just for the heck of it. ^/___^ we've got all kinds of stuff for this class, homer and sappho and plato and sophocles, that kind of thing. it looks really fun.
the website is still not letting me on, so i'll have to get a parking permit the day i move in. *scowls* i think the thing i'm most worried about is that, or possibly being able to loft my bed. i really want that extra space in our room. the rest, i can deal with. mm. computer still not working. needs a new os. *sighs*
i can't wait for classes to start!!! i have a week, and i'm so~o excited. i start packing tomorrow. arg. my mom's currently griping at me for not cleaning things up and being more organized and crap. *mutters* i'm doing this all entirely on my own; don and jess start school on monday so i'll have time to pack those days without the kids running around. my mom isn't going to be able to help me, and my dad won't, so i don't understand why they're freaking out about it so much. i can handle it, and i'm going to, and i'm not worried about it. *growls* i'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. yay, she's done griping.
well, i'll stop ranting. i've got a book to eat! *grins*
also, bri: 'Intersections', the au sga fic where john is a genius math child, is in the big fic dump, about four down on the list. go read!!!!
