I&#8217;m going to try  and limit it  a bit,  though.  I had the realization that rather than sit at my computer and complain that I didn&#8217;t have any real friends, and that there was nothing to do, I should try and spend more time out of my room, making new friends.  Or making better friends out of my acquaintances.  I&#8217;m still not very good at making new friends, but I can try.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s looking like I&#8217;m attending the Villa Retreat on the  weekend  of the 30.  It sounds like it should be a rather neat experience.  It takes place on the coast, as good place for a retreat.  I just need to remember to get my homework in shape before the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Classes are looking decent this semester.  17 credits.  I have Calc 2 and Physics 2, which look to be difficult, but Intro to CS (Java Programming) looks like it could be rather fun.  We&#8217;ll see if I like programming for people other than myself.<br \/>Intro to Engineering Lab is entirely programming with another piece of software called MatLab, we&#8217;ll see how that goes.  The professor underscores his key points by  shouting them, and is prone to other fluctuations in volume, so class could be interesting. <br \/>That leaves Intro to Lit.  Another class that looks to be a bit difficult.  The professor I have is supposed to be pretty good.  He tends to talk a bit quietly, though.  On the first day of class, he told us he is getting professional help for a problem with muttering.  Actually, with the engineering teacher and the CS teacher, who has Turrets, I have a fairly interesting bunch of teachers this semester.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>I still have Calc homework that&#8217;s due tomorrow, but it&#8217;s my first class, and it&#8217;s at 12:55.  Then I have CS lab, and am done by 6.  Not a bad day, really.  I think I&#8217;ll go to bed now and finish the homework in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Nathan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I returned to my online life.
