More College Revelation Revolutions

I've realised two new things about transferring to a larger school:
1) Almost all the classes are offered every quarter!
2) Eastern doesn't have the annoying single out-going telephone number. It was always annoying to get a call, assuming that it was from my boss, only to find out that it was from a professor instead (or vice versa). The number came up in my phone as the same incoming call. Annoying.
Anyway, the new phone seems to have absolved some of those problems. It's an intelligent little bugger, and it has a wonderful set of industrial-grade fonts with slashes through the zeroes. Mmm … function! Also: font smoothing/antialiasing, on my phone. And a new-found bit: high-quality voice-recognition. For use with headset.

Another interesting thing about transferring to a new school is that it gives one the ability to reinvent one's self. I know no one at EWU, save for Alex who is taking completely different courses than I. I probably know people, but if I do I haven't seen them for years. I can make friends with new people and, while not being someone different from who I really am, still be someone new.
Then again, I'll probably also hang out with other computer geek sorts, too. That's my major.
I was initially afraid of going to Eastern, because the majority of people who graduate there remain in Spokane. Then again, the enrolment has increased greatly since the 90s. Nowdays, the undergraduate class is some 10k students--about the same size as Western.
I think I neglected to finish this thought. What I mean is that I do have a plan, and that plan is not to stay in Spokane forever. We're looking at maybe another five years at maximum, and then we'll be someplace else. However, Spokane is actually a fairly decent place, compared to what I thought in High School.

dilandauonfire is there. I haven't seen that recluse in years. My major is probably different than hers, too--so chances are that I won't run into her. It's a big enough campus that I won't know as great a percentage of people as at PLU/will interact with far more people I don't know. So, I still don't know people there, as the percentage of people I know is effectively zero, after factoring in significance.
