My Internet is finally up and running after a few hitches with comcast. I didn't think service can get any worse then what I had back in NYC. I've been here for 8 days now I'm pretty much settled in.

For furniture ikea was a life saver. A mattress and desk was all I bought, the mattress is on the floor and the desk is already messy. My roommates showed up one at a time and for the time being they seem alright. Although one of them really fits the stereotypical geeky gamer type. I've been cooking a bit here and there and I'm surprised I haven't burned the place down already. Things were rather uneventful as things were unpacked and set up. Although one of my roommates brought a big screen TV in which was rather shocking.

Orientation was yesterday and was quick and painless. Just a run down of the rules and photos for ID's. My computer also came via UPS and they busted it up bad. I took photos and filed a claim. Not only was it damaged, it was late. Talk about adding insult to injury. Although if it ever starts working again, my roommate had spare ram so I'm at 1.5 gigs now.

Today, early in the morning I took the placement exam. Going in, I had no clue what it was going to be on. They didn't say and I didn't ask. If anyone reads this, a word of advice, ask. Good news is that the professor said "Alright, your good, yup all good." Does that mean I passed? Failed? I'll have to find out.

Regardless, the test was tough, much tougher then I had thought and I thought it was going to be pretty hard. The staff have been trying to spook the freshmen with the workload for a while and I've been immune until now. That was my first taste of college and it looks like I have a lot of work to do in the next four, hopefully three, years.
