• 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.

Actually, it was "copy the safety rules by hand" which is an important distinction. By copying them by hand, the hope is that you will at least have to READ THEM in order to copy them. It is a very subtle technique, I know, but still... :P
