brokenrecordFirst day of classes done with!
Directed Research in Psychology: I'm still terrified of this class, but slightly less. There are four professors overseeing it, and the class is going to get divided into groups so we'll have really individual attention. My favorite professor ever at the school is one of the advisors, so I'm really, really hoping I get her. Also, it seems like the class won't really be like a class. Like, each group will meet once a week, and then we'll have one-on-one meetings twice a week. Or something. And there are no tests or papers other than our research projects, so at least I'll only have to focus on one thing in the class. Not that it'll be easy, but still. I think I'll survive it. And I do already have a topic and a proposal from Research in Psych II that I can use if I can't come up with another topic. I mean, I did get a 100 on the proposal, so I would assume it would work out.
Intermediate German I: Aw, our German class from fall semester last year has been cut in half now. It's sad; I liked that group. Two dropped the class in the spring, one dropped for this fall, and the other is in a different Intermediate German class. So there are just four of us from the original class. There are also like 4 freshman and 1 sophomore who are new. All the freshman have taken German for like 4-5 years, though, so I have no idea why they're in this class. A couple didn't seem that great at it so I think they might be in the right class, but two of them clearly were much more advanced than the rest of us. Oh well. The professor seems really nice, in any case. It should be fine. And of the three people from last year's class, I'm really good friends with one and pretty good friends with another, so that should be good.
Cognitive Psych: This should be a good class, I think. I had RIP I from the same professor last fall, and he's great. And one of my roommates is in the class, so that should be good. Seems a lot more writing papers and fewer tests than I expected, but oh well. I think I can manage just fine.
I just have one class tomorrow morning (8:00-9:30, ugh), and then the labs start next week. I do have a little homework, but not too much. I'm actually more excited for classes to really get going, because today was more going through the syllabus and introducing ourselves and all that stuff.
I don't really know what to do now. I don't need to worry about the homework for Friday until tomorrow since after 9:30 AM, I have nothing to do. I might actually read a book for once. Or I might get caught up on 90210. I quit watching it last February or March because I found it boring and had too much stuff going on to keep up with shows I didn't care much about. But I heard at the end of the season it got pretty good (like... not good but trashy good? If that makes sense?) and I kind of want to start watching it again. I did decide to quit watching Heroes, and I never ended up watching the last few episodes of Castle, so I think I'll have time for it. I'm also considering watching 10 Things I Hate About You since I heard it is actually pretty good. I have such loyalty to the movie and Heath Ledger and I'm still annoyed they made it a TV show, but, well... I'm bored!
Glee tonight! I'm so excited! :D
