(Fresh) Man Vs. Machine

So I've decided the only thing I really truly hate about college is my building's computer lab.  I have my own shiny new MacBook, but no printer.  But hey, it's ok, cuz honors kids supposedly get free printing. You just put your stuff on a flashdrive and take it down there and print it off.  Easy, right? 

False.

Objection #1 : The computers are PCs...
Objection #2 : The printing isn't entirely free.  We have to bring our own paper.
Objection #3 : The printers suck.  Like seriously.  I have not been able to print one thing off smoothly.  The ink's out, there's a paper jam, it just decides it's not gonna print, or it's gonna print my 14 page English syllabus twice...one time it even printed something that was nothing even close to my environmental science paper (and I was the only one using the lab at the time...sketchy).  It's extremely frustrating.  I'm about ready to go buy my own printer.

But....I did beat the printer today for the first time!  Not like actually hitting it, but I won.  I got my biology notes to print off, formatted correctly, on the first try.  Yes!


Observation of the Day : Husker football is too popular for its own good.  I just spent like an hour waiting to pick up my pre-ordered tickets, the line was crazy!  But hey, I get to go to all the home games, so it's totally worth it.

And...it's Friday!
