The good news: I'm here in North Dakota and the temperature has not gotten above 85. The stiff breeze also helps.

The bad news: the stuff I was shipping to Grand Forks got placed on the wrong truck, and now my stuff is sitting somewhere in Bismarck. And I won't get it until Monday, so until then, I can't move into my dorm room.

Best part of the day: first day the dorms were open, and two kids have already been busted for alcohol possession. You can probably guess what they came to college for.  <_<

I went to two colleges in the U.S. as an undergrad, and they both had the same policy: a dorm room can have alcohol in it ONLY if both residents of the room were 21 or over, and it could be drunk in the room (and ONLY in the room) only if there weren't any visitors to the room 20 or under.

During my first year (my only year at the first college), my desk was literally right by the door, so I often kept the door open when I was sitting at the desk for ventilation and to give me the chance to chat with anyone who walked by.  However, I was constantly asking people to stay outside of my room if they had alcohol, since I was only 18... and so were the vast majority of people I had to ask.  I didn't care if anyone smoked in the room... with the exception of one person who smoked these terrible tiny cigars that smelled like a tire fire.

My school has a zero-tolerance policy on alcohol. If you're caught with it in the dorms, you're kicked out. It's a dry campus. Of course, that didn't stop students from risking it; I've seen quite a few alcohol busts.

Interestingly, the University of Massachusetts (my second school) has recently banned all tobacco products from its campus.  When I was there, smoking was allowed outside but not in any buildings.

However, this wouldn't have affected me too much.  My dorm building was already on the very edge of campus, and it was just a very short walk to get off the university's property.  :)

I've never liked Firefox at all and can't understand why people prefer it.

I use Google Chrome and like it very much.  Before that I used Opera.

Yeah, I heard it was felt throughout the east coast, even in Indiana and Detroit, and as far south as Atlanta.  :o

Started my junior year today.. no earthquakes in Seffner.. boo! :P

Though back on September 10, 2006, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake occurred in the Gulf of Mexico, and tremors were felt as far inland as Lakeland..
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Some have stated they felt it as south as Montgomery, rather than Atlanta. I was at the bowling alley and noticed a few pins knock over randomly, but never thought much about it. (Fort Rucker, AL)

Guys, I officially hate Photobucket. Everytime I try to put an image as my signature or avatar (you know, I'm a brony...gotta have my Ponies), the bandwidth exceeds and it's just... stoopid. I want to upload it on tinypic but the images becomes a jpg extension. and that's also stoopid.

Oh, and look what my awesome Buizel friend made for me. <3 It totally relates to my two loves: Twilight Sparkle and science.
