Well, the first day of classes went... interestingly. I walk on over to FPAT for CS 470, Operating Systems. Now, the room was packed. Packed far beyond any CS class I've ever had. And there were a ton of people I hadn't seen before. For other classes, that wouldn't have been unusual. But at this point, I've probably had at least one class with every senior in the CS department. So it was a little odd.

Turns out, 470 had been moved to another building like an hour before the class and no notice had been posted! All the other people in the room were there for Fluid Mechanics or something, and we didn't find out where our room was until some College of Engineering secretary came by to figure out what was going on. Apparently, Dr. Baxter, the 470 prof, had called someone wondering where all his students were. Then we all walked over to the new room and had a cursory intro lecture. La de da. Operating Systems looks to be a somewhat-tough, but not-terribly-exciting class. As expected.

After 470, I ran around campus trying to get some advising info and officially declaring my second major. Woo. I couldn't get any official advising help from A&S, there was like a 400 hour wait. So, I just went home and enjoyed my long afternoon break. Three hours between morning and afternoon class. Nap anyone? :)

So, I head back to campus for PHI 270: History of Modern Philosophy II. Philosophy is fun. This class is packed, too, but it's the right room this time. The professor comes in and less than 5 minutes into class demonstrates two questionable habits: he speaks extremely quickly and his handwriting is atrocious. But he seems interesting, and I think the class will be just fine.

Check back tomorrow for a look at NSD Part Two.

Well, turns out the search for WMD's is over. Total weapons found: zero. Yeah, somehow this doesn't surprise me.
