Tomorrow is the day I head up to Federal Way (20 minutes out of Seattle, Washington) to attend DeVry University.

I am going for a degree in Game Design and Simulation Programming, and since it is a compressed course (lots of work in a shorter time), I will get a 4 year degree in 2 years and 8 months.

I am not sure how long I will be without the internet, since that does not come with the apartment, so undoubtedly I'll be offline for several days or weeks at least. On top of that, I am going to be needing to get a job almost as soon as I get up there to fund all this. Stack that on the large workload I am undoubtedly going to get, do not expect me to be online at all for a while after tomorrow. I may be lucky enough to find an unsecured WiFi network in the apartment complex, but I am not counting on it.

Ok, I managed to find an unsecured network, but considering that this whole complex is basically full of tech-savvy people, the one unsecured network is EXTREMELY slow and disconnects a LOT.

So far, the setup here with my 3 other roommates actually went rather smoothly, we have everything but TV, Internet, and a home phone line (but we all use our cells anyway, so we won't get the latter any time soon).

I start on Monday.

By the way, DeVry has a program with a bunch of software companies, called MSDN Alliance or something. Basically, for being a student at DeVry, I get to download the ISOs of a lot of popular software (LEGALLY).

Including Windows 7 (and no, I am not giving it to anyone). ;)

Students at schools not part of the MSDNA can still buy Win7 for $30 ($43 if you want a physical disc).
I find that if I don't have a signature, some people disregard the last couple of lines of a long post.

If you get an email address from school that ends in .edu then you won't have a problem.
