1st Day of School

Monday, August 24, 2009 · 1 comments

I'm fresh back from the wilds of my college campus. Like the true nerd I aspire to be, I got to class a solid half hour early. I sat outside the building for awhile to forgo nervous fidgeting and unavoidable intake of classmate's trivial conversations. However, I still wanted a good seat--or a seat at all so I went in about 15 minutes early. Consensus? Precalc should be relatively easy(if I haven't forgotten all my trig). And wow, there are a lot of cell biology majors in my class.

My Intro to Jazz class went off without a hitch. I can tell right now it's going to be easy, but I didn't exactly sign up expecting it to be a challenge. I signed up because I love music and I have always had a healthy curiosity for jazz. Why is it that I love some of it so much and find some of it repulsive? The answer to that question and more will hopefully be forthcoming.

I'm listening to Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" right now if it's any indication of which subject matter I find more interesting. Ha. I had a sincere thought to brush up on my algebra and trig by running through some practice problems. That'll come eventually.

Tomorrow: more PreCalc and I start Japanese. I even rolled through all the kana today just as a refresher. On to a kanji refresher...ugh.
