My First Week of School!

Tomorrow will be the terminus of my first week back at school this semester. Ok, so it was only three days, but it takes some effort to get back into the daily grind of things. I'm taking Microbiology (which looks like it's going to be a lot of fun - my professor is great), Philosophy (also going to be a lot of fun - my professor is from the UK, so I'm going to study her accent in addition to developing my love of knowledge), Organic Chemistry II (same excellent professor, same interesting topic), Spanish Literature (interesting, good Professora, but a lot of reading), and Fitness Walking (interesting professor with a lot of walking). I have the first four classes in a row every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and then PE plus either an organic or a microbio lab on Tuesday and Thursday. But the excellent news: I can get up at the same time all week because class starts at the same time all week - 10:15! Tonight I'm going to see V for Vendetta (again) at my school's theater for $1.50 (take that Cinema 6!), and then I'm going to pack to go home tomorrow after I get out of class at 2:20. Mine and Callie's room is completely decked out with posters and pictures - the only bare space is part of the ceiling (I have three more posters to put up there). I celebrated my return to school by buying a few presents for myself - books! Shakepeare's King Lear, Henry V, Othello, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Taming of the Shrew. When I finish Jane Eyre, I'll start on those. Don't think I'm crazy - I just like Shakespeare and classic British literature. I also have to read Jane Austen's Persuasion, and then I'll have read all but one of her works - Northanger Abbey - which I still have to buy, but I've read all the others, so go me!

I did quite a bit of reading over the summer: All of the Harry Potter books in reverse order, all of the Chronicles of Narnia in chronological order, The Twelfth Card by Jeffrey Deaver, Deception Point and Digital Fortress, both by Dan Brown, and then some other books that I reread - like Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. That's a lot of material if you just think about it.

And now I've finished my homework for the day, and I'm off to check on my laundry. Here's wishing you a jolly good day!
