So that's happening tomorrow! Me, Japan, and SomeGuy will be recording for the OtakuBoards Podcast tomorrow, me during my lunch break between History and EPFE. We're apparently going to be talking about cosplay, something I know very little about but pretend to do. If you've got any questions, feel free to drop a comment or something.
Classes have been going. My Mondays and Wednesdays are exhausting affairs, since they begin at 7:10am and continue straight through until 9pm (Monday) or 6pm (Wednesday). Huzzah classes and working!
I'm actually quite liking my gen eds this semester, which is as much of a shock to me as it is to you. The theater appreciation class I have Monday nights is a rather good time. History 111 is about Europe from the 1300s to 1800s or something, and that's also surprisingly interesting. I haven't had a proper history class since 8th grade, come to think of it. (And I mean one that I actually like, you know, learned stuff in. AP US History? hahahhahahaa) EPFE 201 is something like "Education as an Agent for Change". The professor is a spaz and it is wonderful.
English is chugging along as I knew it would. I found out that a book I bought in August but haven't had a chance to read, The Great Typo Hunt, is a memoir, and I tore through half of it today. That's good by me.
This past weekend, I introduced the freshmen to Doctor Who. Three of them total noobs, one of them who's seen them so she's like my second-in-command who doesn't do anything but make comments back and forth with me. Got through three Saturday night, four on Sunday, and we just went through another three tonight. Tomorrow is the final three, and then the Christmas special when I have the DVD in February. :V It has been awesome. Between making starwhale noises and doing lizard fistbumps, I get the feeling they're well on their way.
HOW COLD IS IT?
As I was walking to (and from) Illustration this morning at 7:40 (and 10), I kept sniffling because, well, I have a cold. Also, it's just sort of a thing you do when you're cold, y'know?
Anyway, as I was dong my trek with the two Asians and sniffling, I realized that my nostrils were kind of...defrosting?
MY FRIGGIN' SNOT WAS FREEZING
You all know about the tongue on a flagpole thing, right? It was like that but going on in my nasal cavity, and that should NOT happen.
But because I am hardcore, I survived. And I will survive work tonight despite working in a freezing (instead of boiling) kitchen. I get to wear sleeves.
It still doesn't feel like school has really started, but today was my first class of Illustration 2. Monday-Wednesday-Friday, 8am, aghghfhfff
But just a quick little diddy of a post:
Last semester, class had 24 students.
This semester, we have 13.
Oooooh...
(Two people who took the class were doing it as studio electives. I know one girl changed her major. Everyone else? Umm...)
End of the semester marks portfolio review. Urk.
English 300A, this semester's class for my minor, is all about essays and the like. The main focus is going to be on personal memory and memoir and, as such, I need to get a memoir.
The good news is that it can be about anything, not just a person. So like, a band or a TV show or a tyrant or something. I dunno. It just has to be a memoir.
Buuuut I dunno what to get. I need to nab one up within the next week, though. If you folks have any suggestions, please fire them off in the comments, 'cause I need all the help I can get.
I have Tales of the Abyss.
(Me and some dormmates went to GameStop and it was right there on the shelf. I climbed over my friend to get it.)
But be warned, it might be a while before I get to play it. Soonest, this Friday, but even THEN it'll be heavily sparsed playing.
Otherwise...
Oh man, was it snowing today. And of course, I chose today to move in! I didn't know about the weather but seriously, honestly thought I was going to spin out and get myself killed. That sinking feeling encroached itself into my stomach too much for me to ignore it.
But then I got to school and everything was alright. Season 4 starts tomorrow at 11am in Western History.
