Second "First" Day... And Stuff.

Well, I've upgraded this morning. Normally my morning "fix" to wake me up is a caffeine-enriched soda, but Dad left me some of his coffee to try out. I had to dress it up a little bit, but it's actually not bad, and I'm sitting here with a nice cup of it. So I'm experimenting with a new morning fix. Odds are, I'll go back to my sodas, as I can pick them up at school at easy convenience.

Ah, which reminds me. This morning I'm heading in for my second "first" day of classes. Gotta love the Monday/Wednesday/Friday, Tuesday/Thursday schedule. Fortunately, my courses are in the early morning today, so I'll be out of class at 11 at the absolute latest. But since it's the first day, I'm hoping for a light day of "Here's the syllabus, now go home." One can hope!

Yesterday I got to see my geology and math professors. My geology professor is very lenient and fun-loving who has told us he never takes attendance, nor does he care if we come in late or leave early. He also said he's very prone to jumping on the tables in mid-lecture, and I'm looking very forward to it.

My math professor is crazy in the bad sense of the term. She said, "I know you people are expecting me to talk for 5 minutes and then dismiss, but I'm a bell-to-bell type of teacher. We're going to have our first quiz today!" Meh. We suffered through an introduction, syllabus, handout, and the quiz... which was, of all things, an essay. (Writing in math class? Haha, what?) After we were done, she insisted on reading us some weirdo children's book just so we couldn't leave early. But finally she showed us mercy and let us go... 15 minutes early. Worst introduction to a class ever.

Random alert!: Ever notice how people tend to write more about negative things rather than positive? Want proof? Look above.

Anyway, I've got breakfast to finish and hair to tend to. Hopefully I'll be escaping the approaching rains of Tropical Storm Fay... they're due to start in today, but they're predicting it won't get here until well after I'm out of class. God, I hope so, although I don't mind walking in the rain. Behaviors are different when people are caught in the rain, and it's fun to watch the snotty girls screech like they're melting.

Gonna be one of those days, I can feel it!
