brokenrecordOh man, I totally didn't find out until yesterday that Dollhouse is premiering Friday! I'm very excited (the promos look so good!), but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. I feel like if I get overly excited, I'll build it up too much and then my expectations will just be way too high and I'll inevitably find it disappointing. But I'm still letting myself be a little excited about it.
I think the plot-y stuff on Heroes has gotten better since it came back, but I still am not very interested in it, and I realized that's because I still don't care about any of the characters left. Like, I like Sylar, and... that's pretty much it. Everyone else is annoying me for one reason or another. And I'm still slightly bitter about them killing off Elle. She was one of the few reasons I was still watching (even though I know that's an unpopular opinion). Although, if Daphne is really killed off, I will definitely be a bit more interested in this show again. I've been hating her character so much (well, that's true of a lot of characters, I suppose). She's just so irritating all the time. And the relationship between Matt and her is just... weird. I don't know. I find it kind of creepy that the relationship is formed on the basis that Matt saw that they would be together in the future and so they must be together rather than anything that developed naturally between them. Plus, I don't like Matt, so that storyline is a lose/lose all around for me. Actually, I wish the plot-y stuff would get absolutely terrible again, so then I might actually stop watching it. It's not like I don't have enough shows on Mondays as it is.
School stuff has been going ok. I got my first test back in German and got an A-, and it's like... I'm happy because I did crap on the listening, like I thought, so I was lucky to do as well on those sections as I did, but at the same time... an A- in German overall would bring my GPA down, and I don't want to be one of those people who freaks out over an A-, but German is supposed to be my easy A, you know? If I have to be worried about my grade in German, than I'm screwed in my other classes, which are all going to be much tougher (save for maybe Differential Equations). blah. I guess I'll just have to study even more for the next test and try to suck less at the listening comprehension.
I'm actually really enjoying Research in Psych II, which I wasn't expecting. I don't know, I mean I liked RIP I, but for some reason I didn't think this class would be as good. It's fun, though. I have no idea how the tests are going to be, but I don't have to worry about that for awhile. The professor's really nice, too. Although he is supposed to be a really harsh grader. And I'm kind of concerned because on the first homework I got an 8/10, but I put like no effort into it, and the first homework is only going to be worth 4% of the total homework grade, and the other 4 homework assignments will be 24% each, so I figure it's not a big deal as long as I put more effort into the others. And I was freaking out over the research proposal we have to turn in at the end of the semester, but... well, I'm still freaking out over it, but Multivariate Stats has given me something to freak out even more over. I have to turn in my research proposal for the project I'm going to do in that class a week from Friday (and that week is going to suck so much. I have that, a German test, and a project in Differential Equations due) and I have no idea what I'm going to do it on. I do have a partner, so hopefully she'll have some idea of what she wants to do, because I have no clue. Still pretty much regretting taking this class. I do love math, and I do like statistics, but not this much, I guess. I did get my first lab back from stats today, though, and I got a 97, so that's a bit heartening. I thought I would do much worse. So maybe I should stop panicking.
Ok, I have an hour before Wind Ensemble, and I totally should start getting some work done because I have a quiz in Differential Equations tomorrow, but instead I'll probably waste time online or read a book (since my books and DVDs my mom sent me finally came yesterday!) or something.
