Bored

Well I am bored, My English class was canceled so I road by bike down to my dorm grabbed my laptop, and now I am sitting in a lounge outside my last class that starts in an hour. I had hopes that I could connect to this supposed WiFi that covers all the academic buildings around here, but I can only see one wireless transmitter out there and it is not responding to my attempts to connect. So much for all this WiFi. What really sucks is that in my dorm I am required to connect through a wired Ethernet connection and I am not allowed to have a wireless router. That leaves me stuck to my desk, but they make up for it saying that the whole central part of campus has WiFi, but so far I am seeing nothing. But I digress, from a topic that I have yet to establish.

My last class of the day is Global Connections, its basically 20th century history, but the professor is very old, hard of hearing, and rambles a bit. I like the class and the subject, but I fear his expectations on tests are going to be too high. His next test is Wednesday, and today is an optional review day so I am showing up to learn as much as I can. The class is extremely interesting, its focus seems to be the connections between nations and events in recent history. If the professor had a more reasonable test format this could be my favorite class, but all his tests are 8 pages of open ended questions. He also says he will count spelling, which sucks for me, since I use spell check like a crutch.
