Yesterday I had my fourth class, Discrete Math. It was fine. We have to write proofs, though, which I haven't done since I was a freshman in high school, so I'm not sure how that's going to work out. And like 85% of the class are freshmen, which is weird. It makes me feel old! Today we got divided into groups between the professors for Directed Research, and I didn't get who I wanted, who's my absolute favorite professor in the school. Oh well. The professor I did get seems nice, and I know the other girls in my group, so hopefully it'll turn out all right. I found out that after we finish our projects, we also have to present our research at the Minnesota Undergraduate Psychology Conference (which I think is in the spring), so I'm already freaking out about that. I do not do well with public speaking. Oh well. One thing at a time.

I've been watching a lot of TV! I caught up on 90210, watched all of 10 Things I Hate About You, and the Vampire Diaries premiere. I also saw the Modern Family pilot, the 2nd episode of Glee, and the Supernatural premiere, but I don't have anything to say about those.

First day of classes done with!

Classes )

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

Oh man, I can't believe Andy Hallett died! He was so young! I always loved Lorne on Angel. That's so terrible.

I think I decided to stop watching 90210. I mean, I don't know why I hadn't stopped watching it already. But there hasn't been a new episode in forever and I haven't missed it at all, and every week when I check to see if it's new, I'm relieved when it's not. Which probably is a sign I shouldn't be watching it anymore.

I totally did not realize Greek was coming back already until I saw that it was on last night! Ah, that show makes me so happy. I know it looks bad from previews and it's on ABC Family, but it's actually really great. But seriously, WHY IS IT ON MONDAY? Now that I'm not watching 90210, Privileged's season is over, and Scrubs was moved to Wednesday, I have 0 shows on Tuesday, but on Monday I have How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Chuck, House, Gossip Girl, Heroes, and now Greek as well.

I have to register for new classes in a few weeks and I don't really have any idea what I'm going to do. It feels like that since after this semester I'm half-way through my college career, I can't just take random classes that I'm interested in but have no relation to my major or minor or anything. blah. I think I'll wait until this weekend to worry about it, though. I still have a few weeks. Registration isn't until the 22nd, and it's not even April yet.

So apparently The Ex List has been canceled. I guess I haven't mentioned it at all, but I've been watching it, and I think it's really cute. I feel like it's the type of show I could get really into if it went on for several seasons. And I was really looking forward to her having a boyfriend for more than one episode (like I think where they were going to go with the guy with the cat that she hasn't met up with yet). And I really loved the guy from the last episode, and I loved that they kept that open so he could come back. But... obviously not going to happen now. I mean, it's not brilliant, but I like it. Although it was hard to see where they would go with it after the first season since she's supposed to find the guy within the year, right? But still. It could have at least lasted the whole season.

So now there are only two new shows I'm still watching this season (since I dropped Fringe a few weeks ago): 90210 and Privileged. 90210 I'm somewhat ashamed I like and I'm not even sure why I do because I don't like basically the majority of the characters. But I kind of really like Ethan, and even though I hate Annie, I like them together. So, whatever. Privileged is really adorable and I want it to go on forever because, kind of like with The Ex List, I can see myself getting really hooked down the line. But I'm really doubtful to it lasting even the whole season, let alone past this season. This season has been pretty crappy for new shows, though. I'm guessing that's mostly due to the strike, though.

Anyways, I have two tests tomorrow, which totally sucks. Originally I was supposed to have both tests on Monday. Then my Developmental Psych professor was like "Well we're a little behind and I have to go to a conference on Friday, so the test will be pushed back to Wednesday" and I was like "Oh good! Now I won't have two tests on the same day because I will fail at studying for both at once!" ...and then, of course, my RIP professor's son broke his leg on Thursday and so he canceled class on Friday and said he didn't want to have a test without having a review day, so the test would be pushed back to Wednesday. bah. Of course, if I were smart, I would have studied for one on Saturday/Sunday and the other Monday/Tuesday, but, well, that would just make too much sense. Instead I left both for Monday and today. I'm actually further ahead studying for the Developmental Psych test than I was last time, and I did incredibly well last time, so... hopefully it'll be ok. And I've started studying for RIP I and I know this information loads better than I thought I did, and I'm pretty confident I would do decently on this test even without studying. So hopefully that'll be ok.

But yeah, I really should have gotten stuff done on Saturday and Sunday. But instead of studying on Sunday I watched C'est une question d'amour and oh man that is such a lovely movie. But one of the lead guys looked exactly like Jon Walker. Seriously, it was kind of weirding me out. I might post comparison pics to make sure that I'm not totally crazy because seriously, they are like twins. Except the movie was made in 2000 when Jon Walker was like... what, 15, 16? Younger, even? And this guy was definitely in his 20s, so yeah.

Ok this was mostly just an excuse to procrastinate studying a little longer, but I really should get back to that.

The German listening comprehension exercises are so weird. I was listening to this dialogue, and these two people were discussing what courses they take in school, and the girl asked the guy about his psych professor he's like (no lie) "My psychology professor? She's very intelligent. And nice. And sexy..." and he kind of trails off kind of... dreamy-like? And then it just ends there. It's so weird.

Anyways, today was much better than yesterday. Not for any particular reason, just because it wasn't yesterday anymore. I was really looking forward to Wind Ensemble, for some reason. I was considering not doing it this year for a little bit, but I think I'm glad I'm continuing with it. So that's good. I'm having major issues figuring out when to meet with these two groups for group projects. One of the projects is due Monday and two days ago when we got assigned into groups, I was like "Ok, I'll e-mail you both my schedule and you can e-mail yours and we can figure out what works best." That should have been easy, right? Well, one of the people e-mailed me back that night with his schedule, but he only sent it to me (I think he clicked reply instead of reply all). Then the third person didn't e-mail me her schedule until today (in class today she was like "Oh, sorry, I didn't check my e-mail until today!" It's like... what? But you KNEW that I was going to e-mail you! Why wouldn't you check your e-mail sooner?) and she only sent it to me and the time she wants isn't the same time he wants, so of course I have to e-mail them both and figure this out. And we're trying to meet tomorrow to work on this, and ugh. It's just so complicated. And I'm so bad at planning things, but I'm apparently the only one who has any sense of motivation to get this done. gah. Have I mentioned how much I hate group projects? Because I really, really do.

I started on that top 10 OTP meme that was going around like a month or more ago a few weeks ago. I've only gotten through the honorable honorable (yes, I did mean to put that twice) mentions. I'm hoping posting about it will make me actually finish it. I haven't done a picspam in awhile, and I like doing them. Plus, I need to get more use out of PSP. I hardly ever use it because it means I have to reload into Windows (I have a Mac with Boot Camp, and PSP only works with Windows). But yeah, expect that... eventually.

I haven't been posting about TV at all recently, but I'll try to do that more. Of the new shows so far, I'm watching Privileged, 90210, and Fringe. I haven't seen this week's Fringe yet and I posted about the pilot awhile back, but in terms of the other shows, 90210 is pretty awful but I'm probably going to keep watching because I kind of really like Ethan (I don't know why, I just do!) and whatever, I enjoy shallow teen shows. I have a lot of stuff to watch Tuesdays so when the semester gets busier, if it still pretty much sucks, I'll probably drop it. Oh, and I'm totally loving Privileged. Well, I only have seen the pilot so far (I'm going to watch the second episode in an hour or so), but it's just so cute and fun! I love both the love interests for the main character so far, and I don't know. I just enjoy it. Also, in terms of returning shows, Gossip Girl and Greek totally kick ass this season, Prison Break still kind of sucks, but whatever, there's Sara, and House had an excellent opener, but I can never really get myself excited about it.
