Now to today. The first day of classes. The first day I will have a serious academic environment in more than 6 months. I was honestly quite apprehensive, because I'm not entirely sure I can get back to this and do it as well as I did before, but I'm sure going to try.
The day started off well. I ran into Carrie Love in my Personality Class and found out that Dr. Rowatt will be pushing my research through during the first part of this semester.
After my Personality Class I went in to talk to Dr. Rowatt and told him that the third floor of Sid Rich was my home on MWF. He said, well, at least you have that office. I was like "Kwal?" and he said "Oh! I forgot to give you a key, here you go." Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have an office. My own, my prescious office. Okay, not so much my own, grad students share it occasionally, but the lounge chair, definitly mine.
I then had Research Methods lab. The lab instructor is hispanic, but not nearly as difficult to understand as my stats lab prof was. She seems cool enough, and Malena Lebouf is in the class and she rocks.
After Research Methods I have Social psych. I was kinda concerned about that class. I thought that JoAnn Tsang was gonna be hardcore, but she's not, she's a really cute small chinese lady from California. She's a lot of fun. We had to introduce each other according to our favorite ice cream.
Turns out Abby Hall (LaRae's ex-roommate and academic competitor of mine) is in the class. She walked in and looked right past me twice, then noticed me and said "um...hello? Mountain Man?" Good laugh there. Then I showed her the key to my office and the laughter ceased. For her. Bwahaha.
After my slew of psych I went home to get some food, Rae came by and we had our arguement of the day. She wants to go home this weekend to take care of some stuff. All I said was that I think it's silly to go home the first weekend of classes just when I'm trying to get settled in and in a routine, and she got really upset with me. I have to go with her because one of the reasons she's going home is because she doesn't have a driver's license (she lost it.) But I think it's fair that I can say I don't want to and still do it. Do I have to be excited about everything? Recently it seems so. I just wish we could figure this crap out and quit fighting, seems like talking is getting us little of anywhere.
After our spat I had Biblical Heritage and I felt really bad cause I was drifting to sleep during Dr. Cooper's introduction. It was totally like "storytime with grandpa" but I couldn't stay awake. I don't think I'm going to enjoy that class much.
Sing starts tonight! I'm so excited about our theme, and I have my solo audition tonight as well. Hope all goes well, and if you're a Baylor non-greek student, you should be there!
Till later
