Although I'm sure no one will believe this, I've started writing stupid little poems every time I get bored. Which is a lot, between classes, bus stops, waiting for classes to start, not having the internet, not having cable, and Brandon hogging the Xbox with his football games. So now I have a bunch of variably abstract, badly-written poetry wasting all my notebook paper. What a bummer.

I'm also writing for the Red & Black. I've already finished two amusing opinion columns, but you don't get paid for them so I'll be working on an architecture feature today. However, I think you'll all be interested to know that one of these articles is a fashion column -- or maybe an anti-fashion column, since I'm writing it. If the opinions editor likes it I may even get to do more of them...so watch out.

The Very Public Diary of Adjusting to University Life: Part Three

Day 6
Bloody tired. Brad arrived and set up wireless DSL. Don't have computer, don't have wireless receiver. Registered for classes, but between one full course and the fact that they were ignoring my 5 in AP Stats, only had 10 hours. Had to bus to bloody campus again. Figured out what to take and got everything straightened out. Schedule is as follows:
Marine Science 1101 M/W/F 1:25-2:15pm
MARS Lab Tu 5:45-7:40pm
Microeconomics 2106 M/W/F 3:35-4:25pm
Psychology 1101 Tu/Th 12:30-1:45pm
English 2320 Tu/Th 2:00-3:15pm
Very glad no classes earlier than 12:30, despite fact that I am having trouble sleeping in on this uncomfortable bed.

Day 7
Studiously avoided the rest of the world. Drank a lot of Gatorade. Got my ass kicked at Halo. Caroline visits tomorrow. Am getting sick of hot dogs, the only dinner I can make in this stoveless apartment. Also getting sick of stupid diary.
