I am sitting in my living room very still at the moment, on the Neighbor’s wireless network which is cutting in and out as I type. Somehow I have a feeling that a building with 900 students is going to have at least a few wifi networks I can get on.

Lets see: updates updates. I am starting my next packing journey today. Getting all of my clothing together is going to be a chore, even though it is mostly in one pile upstairs. It is hard to believe that the time is here already!

My official move in time is 8AM on Wednesday. I will be going down with my brother, father, and uncle in the van. They are starting their baseball trip that day and my uncle is elated that he won’t have to pay for parking for the Cubs game. Of course, his “payment” will be moving all of my crap into my dorm room: a quad that I have no idea the layout of.

Turns out I am in a room that was formerly one of a priest and they are so packed with people that they turned it into a quad. The size of this freshman class is the largest in Loyola History, BY FAR. 2100 incoming freshman! 2700 incoming students including transfers! Plus New Graduate Students! Plus all the Returning Students!

To be fair, the university did just add a new life-sciences building that houses their biology department and they are just NOW filling it up. A bunch of students are pre-med so I doubt it will be that hard to do. They are adding a new downtown 25 story residence hall in the fall of 2006 so upperclassmen housing shouldn’t be too hard to come by in the future.

Good for Loyola. Good for Loyola.

Yet another one of my links was greenlit on Fark.com. The headline was “President reportedly delighted after well publicized ride with Lance Armstrong, save for the awkward moon landing discussion” and will be available for comment by the general public at this address at 3:53 Eastern Standard Time today.

The joke was taken from last Thursday’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Alright, I sat in bed for a solid hour and a half. Well, laid down in bed. Looking at the ceiling is only fun for so long.

I drank 2 cups of Node coffee. When they say that Drip Coffee has more caffeine than anything else, they aren’t kidding. I am “wide awake.”

Might as well get some work done. I have to figure out how to get more financial aid. I think I am going to do this ACLU “FreedomWire Scholarship Content” if I can find the time between now and early October.

I’m at Node Coffee with Eoban and Walt. We all brought our laptops and I am busy typing away creating new entries on Wikipedia and visiting interesting sites.

One thing that is just great about being out at 3AM at Node is you never know when people are just going to come by and start talking with you. Eoban is the type of person to start talking to anyone when he has nothing better to do, so he is listening intently to some random guy talk about how he went to this “Business Development Seminar” awhile ago.

Walt is working on his project Kingdom Lost quite heavily. It is looking really promising, but I don’t want to give away anything. It is great to see that people are actually spending time on Half Life 2 mods.

Alright. AOL Instant Messenger is down… or at least it was for a good 10 minutes. Which gave me some time to think: Wouldn’t the world be a better place if we all used Jabber?

Probably, but it isn’t going to happen in the near future. Bah! If you want to IM me via Jabber I am using the Steadfast Networks Jabber Server. You can IM me at Nick@jabber.steadfastnetworks.com

I found a humorous article about a woman in Chicago who got on Comcast’s case about their poor handling of her cable problem and ended up having her next bill addressed to “Bitch Dog.” Topping that is when the Chicagoland gas company People’s Energy started referring to one of its customers as “Jeffery Scrotum Bag Barnes.”
