Ugh, I'd forgotten how tiring actually doing things, as opposed to sitting around like a lump all day, can be.

I think I'm gonna like Newswriting. The professor started the class off telling us "if you don't have a strong grasp of grammar skills, don't take this class."

Not that that'll weed out the idiots any, because I've found that the people who are really really bad with grammar don't realize how bad they are, but it's nice to finally have a professor who won't cater to them.

I have too long a break between classes. Today it was fine, I had some shopping I had to do anyway and it saved me from making an extra trip downtown, but I've got nothing to do from 11:15 - 1:40 except eat lunch. I could go back to the dorm after the morning class...but then no lunch.

Eh. I'll get used to it/figure out a decent schedule.

The good news is the bus schedule actually fits my schedule. Except for that big gap in the middle.

Actually I think there's a bus at 11:40 from downtown....so I would have time for lunch and still be able to come back here. Neat.

Java's...eh. Exactly what I expected Java to be. It's gonna be 50% sleep-inducing and 50% frustrated *headdesk*ing. Whee.

Schedule:

Monday/Wednesday:

9:20–11:15 am — Perspectives in Graphic Design

1:40–3:35 pm — Multimedia Applications I

Tuesday/Thursday:

9:20–11:15 am — Intro to Newswriting

1:40–3:35 pm — Programming with Java



Enh. Mornings, argh. But I think it'll be a fun change to have a fairly consistent schedule, and be done every day at 3:35.

I'm so so sad I just used "fun" in that context.

I got new shoes today, yaaaaaay. I needed them so very badly. My old ones I bought in Nashville, which was...Jesus. Junior year? Yeah, 'cause Icey was there. So 2004. They're horribly beat up and filthy and mildly deformed. So after I couldn't find the dvd or cds I wanted at the mall (but I did get batteries, and blank cds, and ugly gaudy shiny plastic shamrock bead necklaces to wear to Southside Johnny, and a credit card [like I needed another one]) I wandered into Payless (with 20 minutes to go before I had to be in class) and found some I liked, that fit me, and were the right color, and were on sale. (And I got to class on time)

So yay.

I think that's all the exciting news I have to report today. I'm tired and my feet hurt.
