My first day of class for summer 2011 at my local community college starts tomorrow morning (for those of you south of the equator, that’s winter 2011, or in general, intersession 2011). I still have to buy a handful of textbooks, activate my computer account for wireless Internet, and find out how the building is laid out so I can find my classes, so my buddy and I are going about an hour early.

I can see the questions bubbling up in your minds, so I’ll answer them now.

I still have to buy a handful of textbooks from the college bookstore because there were a handful of books on Amazon where the shipping costs were greater than the actual cost of the book, and it would take far too long for the book to arrive. I would save about $10 by buying the books in the bookstore rather than on Amazon simply because of the shipping costs. These books are Shakespeare plays and cost about a dollar each anyway.

I have to activate my computer account before using wireless Internet on my iPod Touch (which I use significantly more than my cell phone for communica­tions) because you need to have your first account log-in on a wired computer in a computer lab; only then will your log-in information enable you to receive wireless Internet.

The buddy I’m going with is Ed Lam – if you’ve been around since the beginning of 2011, you might remember him from a few of my videos. He’s the other Asian person who likes to film my vlogs for me. He’s taking classes at the local community college as well, and his class schedule timing matches mine exactly.

This means that I’m going to have to wake up at about 6:30 AM tomorrow morning and leave my house by about 7:30 AM. I like to sleep, so I’m going to go to bed now.
