So I'm feeling a little better about getting my essentially last choice first year course since I found the book required for the class on amazon.com for $3.00 (well it was a little more plus shipping and handling, but still very cheap). But other people are now starting to see their choices for other classes pop up on their account at the school website and mine aren't and I'm afraid I'm going to get my last choice for all my classes, which really sucks. As long as I get the Intro to Psych class I want, I'll be happy, but if I don't get it... blah. Oh well, there's not anything I can do to change it now. All I can do is hope for the best.

My mom's considering getting a Macbook too now because her computer is so outdated and slow and awful and she's a writer so it'd be nice to be able to take her computer around the house or outside or whatever and work on her short stories. So I went with her this week to check them out at the Apple store and then she took me shopping and I got a pair of Rainbows, two pairs of flats (which I've wanted for awhile because I think they'd go well with some of my skirts and I don't really have any other shoes that go with them that aren't super dressy), and a tote bag for school. Yay new things!

I've watched a bunch of pilots and I don't really feel like typing up longer reviews, so I'll just say I loved Pushing Daisies (although I'm really afraid that a lot of people are going to hate it and it'll be canceled as quickly as Wonderfalls), I loved Chuck (way more than I expected, and it is kind of a Jake 2.0 rip-off, but at least it's a good rip-off, so I'll definitely be watching it), I liked Reaper (although I'm kind of unsure, so I don't know how long I'll last with it. I'm really surprised about how much good buzz it's getting, because I didn't hate it, but I didn't think it was brilliant or amazing either), I... am kind of unsure about Bionic Woman (I want to like it, I really do, but it was pretty boring for most of it until the end, and a lot of the dialogue was really stilted and yeah, I don't know. I may give it a chance), and I liked Aliens in America a lot more than I expected (but it's on at the same time as too many other things I want to watch, so I don't see there being a good chance of me continuing to watch it). I guess that's it.

I also broke down and watched the first two episodes of season 2 of Dexter. I promised myself I wouldn't, but then I just got a huge urge to watch the show again and I decided that I'll have enough to do in the fall without having more TV to watch, so I might as well watch them now when I have time and am pretty bored and really want to. I really loved the episodes and now I want more, which was the reason why I didn't want to watch them in the first place, but oh well.

No problem! Yeah, I resisted watching it for a week or two because I knew I'd just be that much more impatient for the new season to start, but then I was really bored and had a really huge urge to watch it, so I broke down and downloaded the episodes.
