Happy Columbus Day!
We're already up to 80 woke up with 70% humidity which is normal in the early morning down here for this time of year, it's dropped to 45% and should drop down to around 20% by mid afternoon.
Today is my first day of class. My financial aid also went through, it was as the one woman said, about $700 of the about $900 tuition and fees. That doesn't count the close to $200 for 3 books. So it will end up being about $400 out of pocket for the semester.
I already hate it. It's pretty much worthless crap, I will almost certainly never use any of this in the future. It's not even related to health care, just the basic stuff you get in any degree. I knew I'd have to do this kind of thing, but it still annoys the hell out of me. Learning how to effectively read, a lot of which is by not actually reading.
I'm also having some issues with Word. There are instructions from one class on setting up Word. However, those instructions are for 2007 or 2010 Word. I'm using an online version of Word through the school that I believe is a 2016 version. Even there, it may not have all the normal features, but downloading and running it from the PC is not an available option. I'll have to see if I can use Libre office or something similar.
It's been a frustrating day so far and, I expect, that will probably continue. I can't say I'm confident about how this will go, I already want to break things. Things like this do nothing but reinforce my pessimism.

Bummer. (I wanted you to really enjoy it. We're still using a 2003 version of Word and I have refused to upgrade. The older version is less complicated and we can do everything we have to do on it. But if all you're having to do right now is basic college courses, I would think any word processing program would work.
The wife uses 2010 Word, I use LibreOffice Writer, free and I can save everything to be used in Word so if it has to be opened in Word (say by a teacher) it can be opened.Today is my first day of class.

We got one of those Casper mattesses, delivered by truck to the front door.
We really like it!

I ordered a memory foam mattress, but it is a budget one not an expensive make. Mine was only £140 and you can pay £800 for a big name make. But I need one because I wore a hole in my old one with my feet.
