Well it's nine days until my roommate moves in and 10 before my first official school function.
It's a hundred degrees outside right now. I have no desire to go outside, much less walk anywhere, and I don't know anybody here.
I'm not quite to the point where I'm going out of my head with boredom and lack of human contact but lets just say if it wasn't for AIM that may not be the case.
S'all I'm sayin'
Update: However I am fairly thrilled by the fact that I have regained access to the OED on-line. And probably a shitload of journals as well.

Purveyors of Fine Brand Loyalty Since 2004
I remember reading about how in certain parts of Asia and in Macedonia, people use cormorants to catch fish.
The fisherman uses a ring or tie on the bird's neck so it won't be able to swallow the fish it catches.
Every seventh fish the fisherman has to give to the cormorant or else the bird will stop fishing.
And if I remember correctly, after a few years, the cormorant won't fish for the fisherman any more.
The cormorant would rather starve than lose all but the seventh fish.
Except maybe that last part isn't true.
