Hurray!

So, I dropped Spanish 104 like it was hot, man! I mean, after going to one class, I know I could have survived it, but talk about an unnecessary outlet of brain power. Anyway, I'm officially switching to Engineering Physics, 'cause I don't have to take that fourth semester of a foreign language. Looks like I probably won't be going to Cyprus this summer 'cause there's just no way I can afford it. Bummer, but I got over it. Anyway, school is going fine so far, so yay.

In other news,... well, I guess I don't really have other news. How sad is that. Not much happens to me, I guess. Oh, actually, I did get elected treasurer of Women in Physics, so that's kind of cool. I mean, it doesn't appear that I actually have to do that much, but it's something. I'm going down to campus in a couple of hours to study E&M with Steve. I haven't actually looked at it yet, but hopefully it's doable. I spent hours... and I do mean hours on PHYS 326 homework this week, which is just aggravating. I mean, it's fine, but that soon out of the gate, it's a little disheartening. However, I know that I'll get to the end of this semester and be like, that went by fast and wasn't too bad. That's pretty much my general response to life - it goes by fast and wasn't that bad. How's that for optimism?

Anyway, I have to work tonight 5 to 11 PM. That's cool since I only work one shift a week these days, so it's always nice to see people and kind of do something different for a little while. Besides, who doesn't want to be surrounded by books and movies and music and coffee? Some of my favorite things in life are on that list.

Well, I think I've pretty much exhausted everything I had to say, not that it was that much to begin with. However, I have been imbued with the special ability to spout nonsense and make it sound good.

Sayonara.

*big sigh*

Well, another semester is underway. In a way, I'm excited because it means I'll have something to keep me busy. On the other hand, however, I'm bummed I will no longer be able to sit around doing nothing for hours on end. On that note, I drove to Decatur last night to get a bookshelf at their Target since ours didn't have the color I wanted. I set it up and reorganized all my books, and it looks very nice, if I do say so myself. Anyway, so that was my fun thing for the long weekend.

I guess we have a new president. Go, Obama! Fix that nation, etc.

I had my first class this morning at 10 AM, and that was interesting. It was ASTR 330, Extraterrestrial Life. The professor is a total goon - all loud, telling unfunny jokes, jumping around and such. I think the class is going to be pretty easy, honestly. My second class is in about 45 minutes. It's CLCV 116, The Roman Achievement. I don't know how that is going to be - I'm hoping easy and interesting, but we'll see about the interesting part. That's all I have today, but tomorrow I have PHYs 435 and 326, which are going to be a ball and a half. Also, starting next week, I'll have my Spanish 104 class Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I'm sort of nervous about that since it's been about 2 years since I took 103.

Well, gotta run.
