ugh so yesterday it was the warmest it's been here in ages (first time I wore a short-sleeve shirt outside since, like, October!) and so Amanda convinced our German lab instructor to have class outside, and seriously we were only out there for like 45 minutes but my arms got sunburnt! What the hell?! I totally didn't used to burn this easily. Now my forearms are all pink and painful. Also, we spent much of the lab getting attacked by a giant wasp, so that was fun.

Pretty much decided on my classes for next semester (I'll talk about them more when I've officially registered, but I don't want to jinx getting the ones I want). In the past when I've planned my schedules the scheduling of the classes I wanted to take worked out well, but for some reason next semester it's awful. ( Schedule Rambling )

I hate how on Monday night I have so much fandom stuff to obsess over and get excited about, and then the rest of the week everything is just eh. I mean, it's not that I don't like the other shows that are on the rest of the week, but my level of excitement over them is just nowhere near it is about HIMYM, TBBT, and Chuck (and even Greek, actually).

Anyways, I got a take-home test for Multivariate Stats today which is due on Monday, so I'm probably going to be pretty preoccupied with that for the next few days. The next few weeks of school are ridiculously busy. On the plus side, my Research in Psych professor pushed a bunch of due dates back and canceled a homework assignment I really wasn't looking forward to doing, so everything will be slightly more manageable. Unfortunately I still won't have much time to devote to fandom-y things.

Today was registration for classes next semester! ( Fall 2008 Class Schedule )

Anyways, decided to stop watching My Name Is Earl. I don't know that anyone on my flist actually still watches MNIE anymore. It was good for awhile, but this season has just been really eh, especially since the return from the strike. I was already considering dropping it, but now that 30 Rock is after The Office, I feel like I would have to make an extra effort to watch it, and I just don't care enough to.

Finally, answers to the truth and lies meme from earlier this week! ( Truth and Lies Meme Answers )

Well I'm all moved into my dorm and have been here for a day. I'm mostly enjoying it. My roommate is pretty awesome so far, and I've met a good amount of people through stupid orientation games and actually talked to a few. I miss home a little now, but it hasn't entirely sunk in yet that I'm here for months and not just for the weekend. I met my adviser/professor of my first year course and he seems very nice and like he'll be a good lecturer. And most of the people in my first year class are pretty cool. Oh, and I have my schedule for sure now!

PHYS 113 Modern Astronomy MWF 12:00-1:00
PSYC 100 Introduction to Psychology MWF 9:40-10:40
PSYC 100 Psych Lab T 1:00-2:30
WGSS 194 Technologies for Representing Gender MWF 10:50-11:50
GEOL 155 History/Evolution of the Earth TR 9:00-11:30

I'm pretty happy with it. I mean, it's exactly what I've expected it would be for months, so no surprises. Thursdays are going to be awesome with only the one class in the morning. And I'm happy that my MWF are in a block so I don't just have like... 40 minutes to do basically nothing.

Anyways, I'm still planning on doing a huge post with pictures of my trip here but they've been piling on the activities, so I don't know when it'll be. It's 2:50 now and I have this thing at 3:30-5:00 which is like... it's called Faces of Mac Community and it's students talking about the multicultural community and such. I might not go to that, actually. Then at 5:00ish I'm having dinner with my parents, which is probably the last time I'll see them until October since they're leaving tomorrow early in the morning.

There's a Casino Night tonight (sadly lacking Jim Halpert, though) that I probably won't go to because I suck at those sorts of games. Plus, my roommate's going to a Counting Crows concert with her cousin so I'll have the room to myself, which will be kind of nice (even though I do really like her, I'm really not used to sharing a room).
