First Day of Classes, Part 1
:: School
Well, I'm sitting in the Classroom Building across the hall from the classroom for my 2 p.m. class. I have an hour to kill. I consider extensive mid-day breaks of longer than an hour a defeat in terms of good schedule construction. I'm stuck with a two hour break on Mondays and Wednesdays. Three hours on Fridays (although that means I can go home for lunch and [ take a nap | play video games ] on Fridays.
CS 655 was my first class today. I'm still a bit intimidated, but it went pretty well. I'm still not sure if I'm going to stick with it. But I need to stop taking 12 hour semesters... it's just not very cost effective. :)
GER 102 also went well. I was nervous that, having not had a formal German class that I would be lost, but I got the sense that I was at least as well prepared as a lot of the rest of the class. Even better, the instructor is a pretty hilarious guy, so the class should be a lot of fun.
Expect a subsequent post regarding my experience in PHI 320 once I get back to the house after about 3 p.m.!
