Approximately Adam: Laptops rule

Laptops rule

Well, here I am it's 11:17 pm and I feel pretty much as free as this wretched place will allow me. I'm still relatively friendless and the weather/walking still leaves much to be desired. But I didn't realize how much my horrible living situation was negatively affecting me until I came here. My ass is sore, my mouse doesn't like being mobile, and I can't watch TV directly. But it's quiet, and bright. I was talking with people for a while, and I wasn't miserable. I have a clarity of focus that I haven't had here since I arrived, save for home visits. For the first time in a long time, I feel like this year might just be survivable, after all. While, yes, it's true that the classes themselves may crush me, it's VERY reassuring to know that I have a method of escape, even if it's only after nine and only inside my own head.
It also says something that the lobby outside Gracie's - a very public place - is still quieter and more inviting than my dorm room.
