One down, a few to go.

Orientation things happen this week. Had a computing orientation today - learned the proper nomenclature for the SI-specific servers I'll be using and receiving services from. Had to change out a password because it didn't fit specs. Work solid tomorrow - then two orientation days solid, then work on Friday.

Then grad school. I'm approaching this a little more seriously than my undergraduate, I suspect. Maybe it's because I'm staking a career on this set. Need to go to Financial Aid and check my aid packages against actual tuition schedules and see what happens on the weird chance that my loans might exceed my tuition. It's all stuff, anyway. Stuff that, were it in correspondence form, would probably invoke the attention of the Society Against Trees. Since they might not be the Hoovers of CO2, they're catching a bad rap almost everywhere.

The other thing I said I was going to talk about tonight, why I half-jokingly refer to myself as a Fortune Cookie Teller, has to do with something that may be at the heart of the magical world and its operations. It's something that I think would aid the magical consciousness, if we actually stopped and thought about it for a bit. And then forgot about it, in a sense.

( So what is he talking about? )
