My most intensive class is on hold for two weeks while my prof "travels the world' apparently. Which means... let the "binge drinking, screwing, smoking pot and playing guitar hero all night" continue as per the usual.

(Rock Band, actually)

You crazy kids. Anyone have any worries about the up and coming year?

Not really.  I still have another semester of "relaxation" to go (fuck me for thinking this was a good idea), but when I go back I intend to take:

Honors abstract algebra
Honors linear algebra
Intensive introductory Russian
Intro to acting (maybe)
Some other math class (also a maybe)

Somehow, though, this doesn't worry me a smidge.  *shrug*  I guess the most worrying thing is that I'm going to be entirely responsible for my own sustenance.  That's a bit worrying, but it should be good for me.

I miss school. I'm always happiest when I'm learning new things.

This one starts university's new course tomorrow as well.

This one will have to walk for a hour until the place where he will have to do the practical parts for this semester, because this one was assigned a very far away place to do them :(

(This one hopes to weasel out and stay for as short as possible in that place)

You northerners and your weird starting school in the middle of the year. Well, hope you didn't waste your summer.

I do sometimes miss being able to go "For the next six months, I will learn about Medieval Eastern European conflicts!"

Then I remember how much it costs to for the privilege to learn that stuff in a classroom setting, and go buy a book instead.

I'm not looking forward to it, that's for sure. We don't have any classes like Intensive Introductory to Russian here, unfortunately. The only languages we have are German and Spanish.

Eh, I'm at a fairly well-known university... I got lucky, I guess ^_^;;

This is why I hope to be a professor, so that I can say "over lunch hour, I argued with some guys about Medieval Eastern European conflicts" and have it be... normal.

Eh, could be worse. Besides, it's just school; nothing too difficult. It's just hard to particularly stand out, in a good way.

Also, do all schools really start in the summer? I need the opinion of someone in the southern hemisphere!

I start on the 8th as well.

And since I transferred from a school that ended in may, I shall officially be off for 101 days. I say "EPIC WIN" for me.

I started around a month ago.
I have good classes, mostly:
 - Honors World History (fun class, but crazy easy)
 - Japanese 3 (the most fun, but like cruise control through Nevada)
 - Honors English (fun, but hard)
 - Honors Biology (again, fun, but crazy easy)
 - Trigonometry (so easy it's boring. I keep myself awake in class by writing programs for my calculator)
 - [Next Semester] Analytical Geometry (I'm hoping this'll be better than trig)
 - Arts Core (necessary evil required to get into the good art classes)
 - Health (cool teacher, lame class)
 - [Next Semester] PE (complete cruise class, but somewhat enjoyable if you're an active person)
