Scramble

I've fallen completely behind on my blogging, but I just haven't had the time to do it. Actually, that's a lie. I have time to do it, but I'm just too lazy to usually. So, this entry is going to be pretty random and jumbled around.

So, I'm pretty much back in school mode now. It's been a busy time, and it's only going to get busier with upcoming essays, labs, and in a few more weeks, midterms. A lot of my free time is spent in Mills, which funnily enough was library I didn't like going to last year, but Wainman was right when he said the noisiness is just background noise that you tune out. There's also nice and quiet corners on the third floor too if I ever feel the need to have absolute silence. I'm getting a lot of reading done, but I don't know how effective my studying is this year though. It's certainly a lot more than what I did last year, but I guess we'll see.

Classes are going okay. I like my Shakespeare prof a lot, even though we're not really analyzing the play super in-depth like she said we were. We were supposed to look for our group members (which aren't even for anything really) last week, but it was just a mad scramble and so chaotic that I just left. I really don't know how she thought it would be possible to find three people in a class of over 200. Botany's going well too. Well, I have my first lab tomorrow for it. Ecology is kind of blah right now, but I like the prof, and I have it with Christine. Neuroscience is definitely not going to be fun or easy at all...And Cultural Studies, which I cannot read for really. This is the one class I'm willing to put off reading for right now until the last minute, and it's probably my least favorite right now too, but I have it with Tony...

I had a complete total "durr" moment last week. It was the first class for neuroscience, which I have at 7:00, and I totally went to the wrong room without thinking. I even checked earlier in the day to see where it was, but somehow I ended up in Chester New Hall instead of Togo Salmon.

I like running into people I know on campus. It doesn't happen too often for me, but it's nice when I do...

Work has been pretty good. The last couple of setups haven't been too bad at all. I work again tomorrow, where I only have an hour and a half for it, so I hope it's not a huge setup. I'm also getting used to the tables (not the giant round ones), although I usually just drag them across the floor than carry them. It's just easier that way...

Volunteering has been pretty decent too. I think my goal is to try and get to know the staff there better. I feel like I don't do it enough though, which is why I was hoping to find something else at the volunteer fair today at Mac. Unfortunately, nothing I was interested in fits my timetable. Plus, I'm still hoping to get the Co-editor job for the Frontline, but I'm thinking it'll be tough since I have no experience in any of the programs they use...I'm also going to to apply for Junior Editor for the Meducator, so hopefully I get one of those. Otherwise, I'll just write articles for them I guess...I'm still a little annoyed I couldn't join any of the clubs/instructional classes I wanted to because of my timetable. Curse night classes...

I met up with Kelly last Friday at Coffee Culture, and we dueled again on Mario Bros. I think my favorite part was when she thought she was so clever hiding in her Koopa shell seemingly invincible, but I ground-stomped and owned her. It was a good time.

Dave, Brianna, and Wainman were home for the weekend, and I saw them on the Friday night for a bit at Brianna's house. I'm glad they're enjoying their university/college life so far.

Oh yeah, I worked both nights on the weekend, with Saturday being pointless because it was only around 2 hours that I was there. Sunday, I got there really early, and...I sat in the library reading for over 4 hours. Literally. It's not like I was just on my laptop the entire time and not reading. I did have MSN on, but hardly anyone ever talks to me anyways, so it wasn't a big distraction at all. Suffice to say, it got really boring. There were three of us that night for work, which was completely unnecessary for the setup, but I'm getting paid for it, so...

My TV shows starts this week! Well, all except Heroes, which is next week. House was tonight, which I had to watch at 11 (I totally stopped doing this entry to go watch it). It didn't feel like a season premiere, but it was a good start nonetheless.

I've been okay with the whole spending money on food thing too (except for earlier when I broke a $20 to get a smoothie, which wasn't that great...). So far, I've been bringing my lunch instead of buying it, so that's good. I've also been exercising in the morning before I leave, which actually makes me not tired for my morning class so I should have been doing it all along last year...

So, all in all, things are going well-ish. Well, I think my horoscope on Facebook (new Facebook is crap by the way, but whatever) some time ago was a good description. It said something along the lines of me making changes in areas, but not focussing on other ones, which I think is true or was true, or will be true.

And now, I should finish doing the stuff I need to finish doing for school and not get enough sleep, for I have to be up early in order to make my Cultural Studies tutorial.
