I HAVE THE INTERNET.

The Internet-connection cable was being sold in the university bookshop, so obviously every student in Sussex had gone down there to buy it. When she realised that I was buying books as well as the cable, the assistant actually did a little flail. I immediately adored her.

I am in my room at the moment. It doesn't feel like home, but it doesn't feel like Hell, either. I haven't really got my head around the fact that I am actually going to be living here, but I think I might cope.

Last night, I met a girl who knew nothing about fanfiction but quickly became interested in the concept. Barely an hour after I had started explaining it to her, we were discussing the possibility of the Master raising a Jigglypuff while hanging out with Professor Moriarty. I don't think starts get much more auspicious than that.

I love you all so much.

Oho, you have a kitchen? That's nicer than my dorms were! I shall have to send you recipes for things cheap and easy to make!

Wait, not allowed at all? In my dorm you could put up posters anywere, just not with pins unless they were on corkboard. Sticky-tack was fine.

Not allowed anywhere except the board. WOE. I'm sort of tempted to ignore the rule, as whoever had the room before me has clearly glued things to the wall, and it's proving utterly impossible to pick all the residue off.

Oftentimes, as long as the room passes whatever end-of-year-check-out-inspection-thing they have, people really don't care. (And, hey, if people complain, you can always say "I found the glue residue unsightly and wanted to cover it up, and look, my stuff comes off without a mark." That's another thing to keep in mind; most if not all of the people you'll be dealing with are human, and are willing to flex. Even in a gigantic organization like a university. All the rules are intimidating, but most people will work with you to make everythign run smoothly and pleasantly.)
