Tuesday, 30 August 2011 08:15 pmWhen I wrote my last entry I neglected to mention that I was writing it on my phone, which should account for its oddness. But now I am on my computer! This is particularly important because it means that I got my replacement A/C adapter! :D I didn't think I'd miss my gorgeous laptop so much, but I did. ;__;
Still working on that Atlas Shrugged post; I need to work on the essay, as well, which is the really annoying part. Once I do that, I should have a post incoming. I just have to, you know, write the essay first. (Also my mum said we'd buy some books - her exact phrasing was "splurge on books" - after I finished the essay. I, for one, am excite.)
My stats class is pretty boring, I found; it's an online course, no matter what the professor says. I'm mildly terrified by my public speaking class, but then I turn bright red just giving an answer in class, so that's not surprising. Both my mass media and English classes seem pretty cool; the professors are both pretty chill, so that's okay.
So the first day actually totally sucked - I lost my wallet, which was horrible. I spent my entire stats class freaking out about it. Fortunately somebody turned it into student services, so I got it back. Even more fortunately, everything was still in it! So that was significantly less sucky.
I think it was something of a mistake to dive headfirst into high fantasy right after Atlas Shrugged; I'm pretty burned out on long epic things, and I can't tell where things are going or who I'm supposed to like or anything (although I managed to figure out that the queen and her twin brother were the bad guys, but they shoved a kid off a roof because he saw them doing the nasty, so that wasn't all that hard to figure out). I probably should have read some YA fantasy to get me back in the "reading something because I actually want to" mindset... but I've already read all the YA fantasy that I have, so perhaps not.
(I'm watching Iron Man: Armoured Adventures right now, and their Justin Hammer looks a lot like Rufus Shinra. Thought it merited mentioning.)
Anyway, my brownies are done, so I'm off to take a shower. I don't know why, but I kind of feel like I deserve one. /:
