Almost...
So I've got my computer back - 60 gig HD and all. It's been a little annoying chaning all my settings and stuff back, but I guess it's a small price to pay. The only problem is that my laptop dosen't go to sleep when you shut the lid....kind of an important feature... The guy who put the HD in forgot to put back this magnet thingie that puts the computer to sleep when it's closed. I guess it's a common problem with replaced HDs. I'm pretty sure they'll fix it for free, but that just means sending it in again...oh well.
So I have one more prelim tonight, chemistry again. This time it's Orgo Lab, a separate course from orgo lecture. I'm kinda worried, but it's only a 2 credit class so i'm not going to stress out too too much. I also have a paper that I just finished. If you care to read it I guess I can attach it here (download file). I don't really like it when classes make you write these "scientific papers" because I've worked on a "real" one that actually went to a journal for review, and it's very different than these class projects, much more challenging and fun. I guess it's just not practical to have students write journal quality papers....
Oh, and I've looke around a little on Cornell's Study Abroad page. I'm thinking about James Cook, in Australia. "North Queensland is well known for embracing a relaxed tropical lifestyle." and they advertise, "year-long sun and perfect days"....hmmmm....sounds more like a vacation than school... :)
OK, i'm off to study some more....in overcast Ithaca....
