school - FTL!

I woke up this morning 5 minutes before my alarm went off. For some reason, I'm at a peace all day that I can't achieve if I'm woke by that incessant beeping noise if I just wake up naturally. So I turned off the alarm pre-cacphony and continued my morning routine of bathing, catching the latest headlines, poking around a forum or two and figuring out what outfit I'm going to wear for the day (okay, maybe not that last one). I was just about to leave when I glanced back at the clock.

I should have waited for the alarm to go off. I would have been waiting another HOUR and five minutes.

Minor annoyances aside, this semester is still going to be hellish. I have classes from this guy and this guy, both of whom have terrible ratemyprofessor ratings. I mean, computer architecture from a teacher who started teaching at my school in 1969? I suppose if it's his "favorite class to teach" it must be worth staying in... And computers in society from a teacher who puts computer scientists to sleep? Oh well.

I was sulking around all day marveling at how I am taking just 4 classes and how it's still going to be hard, when I got to my next class. There I was finding a seat in my advanced calculus based phyics class when this really good looking girl walks in, and she's seven and a half months pregnant! And I thought I was in for some hard times.

Regardless, it's going to be fun. I'm still debating the trip back to Europe this winter - working at a ski resort sounds nice too - and I'm still indeed working at the IMC down in the basement of the library. I am loving the new house and roommates still, but we'll see how it goes after a few more weeks...
