I've had a pretty
interesting day. It's my first real day of
college classes, which is a big deal for a
Freshman. I got up at 6:45 (which was shear
agony - I haven't gotten up before 7:30 for a
month), got ready, and went to my first class, a
literature class. It went fine for the first 30
seconds, until we get our reading
assignment. We have to read a ton in that class - I knew I'd have a lot of reading, but this is more then can be imagined (and is probably what I should be doing instead of this :)).
Next class,
Calculus. I like
math, and the
teacher is great, so this was almost
perfect. If it could just be sometime after 9 am - I'm not a
morning person by any means. However, it was still good - I learned a lot, even if it was about something I knew a lot about already.
Next up:
Computer 151. This is the 3rd level computer class, but it's the
intro class for
Comp Sci majors like me. I'm glad I didn't go to one of the earlier ones - I could have taught this class, I could probably
teach the others in my
sleep (a good thing, come to think of it - I like sleep). Over half the people hadn't
programmed a thing in their life, whereas I have been
programming professionally for 3 years. I ended up falling asleep a couple times due to missing my daily
caffeine dosage. If you noticed earlier, I didn't say
breakfast, then first class - I just said first class. I normally like eating breakfast. Especially since I can get
Mountain Dew from the soda machine - I have trouble waking up at normal times without it, let alone early. But I was moving too slow from being tired to get to the
dining hall in time, and had to go straight to class instead (barely getting there on time).
The next class was the very cool
Honors Foundations of
Thought class. Unfortunately, we didn't get much past
intoductions (which we didn't bother with in other classes - this one was the smallest by a
factor of 3). But from the looks of things, it'll be a really enjoyable class.
The next part of the day was great though - It was 1:20, and I haden't had anything to eat. I though the
Dining Commons were closed by then... but since my dorm is right next to them, I checked anyway, and they still had food! There was much
rejoicing over this. The food wasn't too good (probably the
worst meal I've had here these past few days), but I was
hungry enough that I didn't care.
Then... um, I got on my
computer. First I played
ARC, a great
free online game. After hitting 30 kills in the MADWARSE3
map (my best in a month, though I've hit over 50 when I have time to practice). After that, I needed something to do to wind down (it has simple graphics, but ARC can get the
adrenaline pumping), so I came and typed this, my first
Day Log.
