Yay! Classes!

So the first two days of classes have been successfully completed. Well, as successful as possible.
Thursday morning I caught the bus in with Dave. We had coffee... well we had "stand-in-line-while-Dave-buys-coffee-and-sit-for-five-minutes". It could have been longer howeever I had forgotten my schedule at the apartment so I had no idea where my class was. So the next few minutes were spent trying to get my wireless connection to work so I could check and find out where my class was. That part of the day was unsuccessful. So I just guessed. My guessing always goes well. I was right! So I went to class, wandered around for a bit between classes to acquaint myself with the new surroundings. Got my haircut after class. And after a huge fiasco of people not being about to find me, I got a cell phone yesterday too. So joy, now I can be reached all the time.
Anyways, watched Freedomland last night. I knew I was gonna like it and I did. Very much. A very enjoyable film, highly recommend it. While on the topic of movies, Children of Men, which (or at least I thought it was) was supposed to be released sometime during the month of september has now been pushed back to December. I'm mad. I wanted to see it, well I still will... just gonna be a bit longer.
Sooo.. I learnt how to play poker last night. Was fun. I beat Dave several times...or maybe it was considered once.. anyways.. he ran out of pennies so I won.
We watched another movie but I slept through most of it. So I went home, now remember that I was going home cause I was falling asleep.. well as soon as I got home I couldn't sleep. So I was still wide awake at 6am... It makes for great frustration.
So I did get some work done. Got some school stuff sorted out and organized. Haven't done any work yet but its organized. And I'm finally unpacked! Well almost, stuff is out of boxes and bags and sorta just strewn around the place.
So I've got most of my textbooks. Well I don't have any for Irish Studies or Women's Studies yet but I haven't even had those classes yet so it'll be okay. Ancient Science is gonna have alot of reading to do (900 pages). Two hundred of those apparently being the most dificult thing we'll ever read in our undergrad so says the prof. Mythology is gonna kill me. I've got 1400 pages to read, like textbook pages I could handle but we're talking all that translated stuff. Oh and I was so happy cause I only have to buy one of the texts cause I already had copies of everything else but the prof is going by page numbers so I'm gonna have to go and get the copies he had the bookstore order.
Philosophy of Law is gonna be fun. I'm unsure of what I think of my prof but I think I'll enjoy him. One of our required texts was a legal dictionary, after the first lecture I discovered why, I had a list of like 15 terms I had never heard of before, and I've watched lots of Law and Order. :)
The other text for that class isn't in yet, its a bunch of Canadian cases or something. I don't know. Should be interesting.
The Greek 3 A's (Art, Architecture and Archaeology - its really hard to say... just try it) should be fun. I'm not sure I like the prof but I can't like em all.
Sooo... that's been my last couple days. There's bit a bit more drama but I'll save you the grief.
I think this year has some potential. My like my classes, I can do well in them, I'm close to friends who I've really missed lately (though far away from a few others). I'm really excited about Habitat and actually being able to be involved. I think this year has potential be a growing time of some sort for me, a chance for me to figure out some stuff and start living some sort of a happy life. I really hope it goes well. And if not, well there's always next year!
Gonna go wash dishes. Later!
