Wilmington

Long day. Ubuntu won't work with my laptop. =( So sad! Ah, well. Otherwise, estuve ocupada estudiando espanol todos los noches. That's right, preterite. Both times I took Spanish3 I sort of zonked out as soon as we began to learn timeline grammar. Past present future AGH! SO MANY THINGS TO REMEMBER. Is easier now, since I actually want to learn. Also helps that I have taken Spanish3 twice.

Tomorrow we head to our last retreat for AmeriCorps. Thank goodness! I'm ready to be done!! We go to Wilmington, which is a very touristy city on the coast, which sort of sucks but also is kind of fun, because there is a nice beach and good restaurants/bars. Good coast seafood! Yum!! Unfortunately, it is a long drive, and I drove a lot today and now I have to drive a lot tomorrow and I get sick of all the driving all over everywhere. And North Carolina has no direct routes from point A to B! Never! Is quite annoying.

Poor Derek won't be able to swim. Injury to his arm! Laceration! Pics on flickr.

Ubuntu...

My friend helped me set up my computer to run Ubuntu instead of Windows. Unfortunately, internet connection took way too long to figure out so he did not finish and Ubuntu sits, waiting for me, somewhere in my laptop... but I cannot use it yet.

YET!

I do not like Windows very much. This is why I've wanted a Mac... I like the way Macs are easy to use and do not get viruses. Ubuntu will give me this! And more! And it is *free*! But sometimes difficult to set up. Which is why I need a helper. Which frustrates me because I want to use it now. Nownownow.
