Day 269: Work and Pain Begins

September 26th, 2011Today left me in a bad mood upon my realization that this might not be such an easy quarter after all. After going to Market with Geetha in the morning and crashing her terrible Biochemistry class, I proceeded to my first 3-hour class EVER. Needless to say, it was terrible. The course, COGN150, has basically two assignments: 1 presentation on the reading (I decided to get mine out of the way and volunteered to do it next week), and my picture of the day: a final 20-25 page paper or a mixed-media project. I am beginning to realize all Communication classes are terrible, and good riddance for this being 1 of the 2 final classes I will ever have to take. Afterwards, I went to EHS not to work but rather print out various documents. After meeting up with Alexis at Geisel we went to our Polisci Class sitting next to Brittney, Natasha, and one of her men. When all was said and done I met up with Geetha at Foodworx where she graciously spotted my lunch, and we talked for quite some time before I had to rush off and leave.

It was now time for my next 3-hour class – COMT100 – Non-Linear Digital Editing. The professor seemed okay, but I kept dozing off in class from restlessness. Katie eventually offered me some gum to keep me awake as the professor explained slightly how to use Final Cut Pro and how to check out rooms to use for editing. It looks like I’m going to have a ton of fun in the computer lab this quarter. YEEEEE! By the end of the class I was pooped, went home and had a wonderful TeachforAmerica interview, and then met up with Bee-John afterwards for some delicious Chipotle. We missed a bus, and then decided not to get on the second one that came by because there wasn’t room for Bee-John’s bike. We ended up walking home as I ended the night prepping for tomorrow: Vietnamese. BOO!
