Orientation
Friday, January 7, 2011
So I went to orientation today. It was pretty interesting. Sheridan is a big school, and its super art deco with its exposed beams, industrial roofing and super modern windows. I didnt even realise it was as big as it is. It goes back into the fields a very far ways, so you see only a bit of it from the road, and then its like six or eight buildings all stuck together with a cute little courtyard in the middle with a bridge and shit.
The bus route I have to take takes me literally THREE MINUTES each way, or a 20 minute walk. it's pretty awesome. The cost for my transit pass? 88 dollars and it IS NOT COOL. I have to pay that each month and its gross! At least the ride isn't too bad.. but I figure I'll get to walk in the summer and maybe some every now and then if it isn't too cold.
Adam bought me a small netbook for school, but I'm not sure if I am ready to transition to one of them just yet. They are so small, and the key board is a little awkward... like, the back space button and the enter button are the ones that are driving me nuts. Every time I make a mistake and I click backspace, I click ====------. Thats annoying! Also, with the enter button, it is a backwards L shaped key and I am use to a long horizontal one, so I end up hitting the \\\\ all the time.
Its annoying. I have fourteen days to try it out before I have to return it, or decide to keep it. I will try it out with class and everything and then we'll go from there.
Obviously this thing is way cheaper, but it has a smaller harddrive and is basically for people who travel. They use this labtop to connect with their main bigger labtop, and or desktop.
I havent decided yet. We'll see....

I have a Sony Vaio netbook, and while it seems my key layout is slightly different than yours, I think you can grow to like it. For me, using a full size computer seems weird now!
