Three To Go

One Down

So, the first of the exam papers went by without incident last Saturday. That leaves three. Hey, the worst is far from over, but… one problem at a time! The next paper is materials. I spent half the day trying to work at it today. A lot of memory work. Not good for people like me. It is however fair to say you’ve just got to give it a shot and make the best of it. Those words do sound extremely hollow right now, though.

In any case, one thing at a time. One thing at a time.

For reasons quite unlike what my friends might make you believe, I actually have a Facebook account now. Of course, being both unpopular and I reckon quite introverted, it is hidden in a number of privacy options and does not accept friends easily. I suspect that it will take on an increasingly private nature as time goes on.

I think I was always very paranoid about some things, which explains my initial reluctance to get an account. Although the Web Walrus did suggest that part of it might have had to do with trying not to jump onto the bandwagon in a silly adolescent sort of way, and I imagine that’s probably partially true. And at the end of it all, I think that in some things I’m just a slow adopter.

In the meantime, I’ve been trying to figure out what’s what, and I realise it’s less intuitive than I thought it would be. I’ve also tried to set up some rules of my own so that the place doesn’t end up in a giant mess. Things like no random quizzes and no random games. Well, I’m sure my weak willpower means that I’ll eventually buy into these things under peer pressure or the like. I’m also trying to figure out what interesting things I can possibly do with the simple apps. Like. Uhm. Notes. And I’m looking for handy apps too.

But otherwise, it’s been an interesting first… say… 3 days? As I was telling my friend, now everyone gets to see just how unpopular I am.
