• VT email got ransacked by the virus. It's been down for most of the week. I've just started to get non-virus emails again. Still not able to send anything till the queue clears. Stupid virus.
• As the deadline for my first CS project draws near, I've hit a snag. The constructor I've made for the class won't compile -- some sort of pointer conversion error in the assignment operator for my linked list template. I had no clue why. Neither did Capra. Nor did the TAs. Can I panic now?
• Had first chem lab yesterday. TA spoke a bit more English than the one I had last year, though his accent still makes him nigh-incomprehensible. Our first assignment: In addition to the prelab questions, copy all of the safety rules by hand and hand them in next week. Oy. On top of that, the one person I knew who thought she was in that lab section turned out to be in a different one, so now I'm back to begging perfect strangers to be their lab partners. *sigh*
• Edit: That sysadmin job was already taken by the time I called. Apparently, the hiring person forgot to take his name off the database. Grr.

On that note, I head to DiffEq.
