a new beginning

So today was the first day of classes. Not too bad. It takes 5 minutes to get to any of the classes in the ECCR building (meaning all my classes except Japanese) and 15 minutes to get to Hellems, which houses JPNS 1010. I've got all my little notebooks and such. And apparently I don't need the textbook I bought for comp sci, so back to the bookstore it goes.

I woke up bright and early (6:30, which for me is sleeping in, at least compared to last year) and headed down to the gym. Boy were my arms sore afterwards. Headed back to the room, took a nice long shower, went off to get instructions about my alternate science sequence petition, ate breakfast at Sewall (hella far away and definitely not worth it... all they had was waffles), scoped out the Hellems building, headed back to the room, surfed the net for a bit, found all my classes in the engineering building, came back to the room again, and frittered about for maybe a half hour before finally heading to calculus. My conclusion: I have way too much time in the mornings.

Calculus all we did was go over the syllabus (aka the rules) and point our little clickers around. The clickers are pretty cool though, you have to admit. They not only function to record attendance but they also give the teacher feedback when he explains a section poorly! Neato frito. The last five minutes consisted of "This is a vector, children." Dear lord. Yes, I know how to add and subtract vectors. Derrh. S'ok. I've already done both homework assignments due this week. This class is going to be so awesome (read: easy).

So then I eat lunch (I ran into Aaron, which was awesome, so I sat at his table) and lose track of the time and run off to start my long trek to Japanese. I get there and there are maybe two seats left. Erk. So then the teacher makes us pair up with the person next to us and find out about them or whatever. So I talk to the girl next to me: she's an anime geek who likes video games and is a comp sci major. Slightly ... coincidental (read: creepy). But the class was fun, the teacher kept making us sit down and stand up and raise our hands. Reminded me of one class we had in Spanish in 8th grade. "¡Levántase la mano izquierda!"

I come back to the room afterwards and start on the math homework and of course lose track of time. By some miracle someone came into the room 5 minutes after 4 and mentioned the time in passing so I was only 10 minutes late.

Both my computer science classes were boring, but what do you expect for an intro-to-the-class class?

And of course I forgot to go get dinner. I think this is the second time. Gah. I should just eat as soon as comp sci ends, or something.
