What a lovely relaxing-type day it's been. If the whole weekend was like this, I'd be ecstatic. I've basically been catching up on my Philosci reading all day, which is the only good reading I have here anyway. I need to decide which of the stories I'm going to write my 10-page paper on (and hope above all hopes that it's due during finals week and not before). I got my Civ midterm back this morning, which I didn't do as horribly as I feared on. I really wish I could have remembered what Zosimus did, because then my grade would have been a solid B rather than a B-. It's really sad that I've gotten used to getting B-'s all the time this quarter... I hope I don't end up with any overall, because I don't think my mom would understand.
I got through another part of my lifeguard test this morning without ending up dead, I got through Civ without failing... I sat through Citizen Kane and managed not to fall asleep even though I desperately wanted to. At least I don't have to pretend to need to write a paper on it or something... we'll just need to know basically what happened, I suppose. It was nothing like I thought it would be... it sort of made me depressed without letting me be totally conscious of it. Silly movie. Then I came back here and sat down and started my reading. I watched episode 25 of FMA again for some sadistic reason, and took a nap. Then I got up and did more reading. I'm almost entirely caught up with Philosci now, outside of the novels, which I will probably never finish. My goal for this weekend (and I will hold myself to it this time, because I really can't afford not to) is to write a page of my Hum paper, a page of my Civ paper, and come up with what I'm writing for Philosci. I think I should be set for next week, then.
Mmmm, hooray for proper download speeds... the ReadOrDie TV series has been downloading painfully slow the past few days, but now it's finally going tolerably fast, so it'll be finished by tomorrow if it keeps up. Yay! And I think after that's done, the only anime I need to steal will be from everyone else. No more of this killing my computer with downloading stuff (except to keep up with FMA). Hehehehe. Speaking of my computer... I suppose I should look at the Rescom guy's schedule again and figure out when I can meet with him, since he never e-mailed me back and obviously I didn't see him on Thursday. Grr to my Eudora that doesn't work, because this would be so much easier if it would just shut up and send my e-mail.
Oooh, and I preregistered for classes yesterday (and a bit more today). Next year is looking up at bit in the way of classes, at least. I'm not going to continue Civ right away, since I can do that any time... I'm going to start CompSci (HAPPYDANCE!), even though I can't take honours with Gamer-san because I didn't test into 160s math. Which is probably a good thing, when you step back and look at it, even though I understand programming-type math faaar better than I do calculus-type fake math. I'm starting sosc, because I don't want to have to deal with it later on. And I'm hoping against hope to get into Fiction Writing, even though there are only 12 people in the class... it doens't look all that likely that I'll get in, but I can hope. And I do sort of need it for my English major. Hehehe. If I get into that, I'll be all happy for next year. My fourth class, as usual, is a bit of a problem. I really don't want to take Chem at 8:30 in the morning, but I don't want to take Physics either (plus physics isn't offered at a time I can take it)... and I do need to take one or the other eventually. The more I think about it, the more I realize I understood chem better than I understood physics anyway. It's the whole real vs. fake math thing. Easier to memorize formulas that make sense than ones that don't. If I don't take Chem I'm going to take French 202 (something required for my English major that I'm not gung-ho about taking), even though if I waited a bit I could take it with other people, making it a bit more fun. I really wanted to start Japanese, but I sort of forgot that taking a beginning language here means meeting five days a week because we've got this silly competancy thing going on that seems to think that in three quarters you can be forced to understand and speak a language well enough to get by. Hehehe... yeah. I haven't even finished my French competancy, goshdarnit. Not through any failing of my own aside from failing to schedule it, though. At least I've got lots of stuff to fall back on... I suppose I can sort of hope that lots of people have forgotten to preregister and that way I might get into my Fiction class. I guess I'll know finals week. Eep.
