I’ve been done with school for one week now, and its all starting to blend together. What I’ve accomplished in the last 7 days could have been done in 2. I’ve watched a lot of movies, sat around and talked to a lot of my brothers, and just existed. No obligations, no requirements, no deadlines. It’s been nice. Though for all my bitching about having too much to do during the school year, I must say that doing nothing can be very boring.
I have done one fairly productive thing. I recently acquired a server box and decided I should make good use of it. I bought a 160 gig hard drive, loaded fedora on it, and then partially converted to act as a Samba Server. It worked out much better than I had expected. I was able to put everything I cared about on this different machine, and then I mapped one of my drives to it, and now my computer looks at it as just another hard drive even though it’s capable of so much more. Since I have it set up wirelessly I can even take my laptop anywhere nearby without having any music on my hard drive and stream info from my server straight to my ITunes.
Aside from that I’m leaving Terre Haute soon. For such a terrible town I’m going to miss it. I’m going to miss being at the house hanging with all my brothers, though it may be time for a change. I haven’t really left Pike for over a year, and I haven’t really left Terre Haute since I was a freshman. Though transferring from one rural area to another isn’t exactly my dream. I’m also extremely nervous about starting to work. Its not the new environment that worries me, or even fitting in with my new co-workers, its will I have the intelligence and ability to dominate where I’ll be working. Only time will tell I suppose.
