euch!!! i'm all soggy; the whole week it's been forty degrees and sprinkling outside.
first week of classes is over and done with- yay!!! i have: a physics class that is just as crazy as the one i took in high school, except that my professor is thirty years older and the class is three times as big; an anthropology lecture class that is interesting despite how bored my professor seems to be; studio; two architecture lecture classes, in both of which i severly dislike the professor who is lecturing; and conversational german, one hour on fridays, which is probably going to be my favorite class this year. i walked in this morning, panicky because i haven't spoken german outside of casual conversation since the end of last spring, and i couldn't remember anything for the life of me. but ten minutes listening to frau hellmann speak reminded me that i understood every word she said, and i spent the whole our without saying hardly a single word in english. i'm so glad i signed up for that class!
and i was in the university newspaper on wednesday. *eyeroll* we got a new president/chancellor of the uh system, lady name of renu khator, and she spent tuesday visiting random classes and hang-out spots all over campus. one of the classes she visited was our studio- full camera crew and everything, and she stood right next to me!! \'o'/ (that was supposed to be a *shocked and amazed* face, but it came out kind of cheerful. o__O) and then they dragged me downstairs with one of the guys in my studio and handed us some poor third-year's model (turns out it was aaron's from apx) and told us, "yes, we know it's not really your model, but could the two of you stand here and explain to dr. khator about what you do as architecture students using this model while we film you and take pictures? kthxbai." and then they picked the lamest picture they could to put in the newspaper, so it's me in between daniel and dr. khator- them busily talking about the model while i look kind of pouty, standing useless in between. the weird thing is that i was the one doing most of the talking during all that. *confused*
an-y-way..... so yeah. yay for college!
