It's the second day of classes. Things are going smoothly and the school itself surpassed my expectations, which was rather shocking to me because I have rather high expectations. Usually what you hear during orientation is what the school wants to implement and usually never gets to doing. But here at Digipen, everything not only works, but works well.

First day, I showed up and had to get my ID since I slept through the day of orientation where people normally get their ID's. It was a bad idea to sleep through that day. But I got my ID and was off to my first class. Rather standard happenings. The hour and 20 minutes passed extremely quickly and the 3 hour gap before the start of my next class we a definite plus. It's great not having to rush from one class to the next in four minutes and forgetting everything along the way. I took a walk around the building, the neighborhood, got some food and drink. In general, just enjoying the change of scenery. I also spent some time in the computer lab.

I think I'm in love with these computers. 2.8 ghz dual core CPU's, GeForce 7900GT, 2 GB's ram. And these are school computers, can you believe it? I'd never thought in my life I'd actually want a school computer. These PC's are better than the one I have at home and the one I have at home was designed to be a high end gaming rig. And there's just rows after rows of these computers for me to use. I think I'm in heaven and loving it. I don't want to leave, ever.

Second day of class was a little more unsure than the first, I forgot my schedule. So I had to guess at which class I was supposed to attend. I guessed right when the attendance sheet showed my name. Imagine the relief. I biked home during my hour 20 minute break to grab my schedule. Feeling adventurous I decided to take the bike trail, that thing is all down hill all the way. Insanely fun and fast! The way back wasn't so much... Newtons law of conservation of energy. I hate that law.

I can't believe any school would actually invest so much money in these computers, which must cost at least $2000 a piece. Not only that, there is a great backbone behind everything and all devices in the building are interconnected. Props to the IT team.
