Round Two

I have officially finished the first day of classes! Although I was a bit reluctant to come back, I must admit that once I started unpacking, I was glad to be back in my prison-cell-sized dorm.
The good thing (and the bad thing) about Albright's size is that you get to know everyone. At the beginning of the year, I saw a student with a shirt that said "Where everyone knows your name business." True story.

Thankfully, this semester Emily doesn't have class until nine MWF (I'm not sure about TTH), so we both set our alarms for 7:45, which is nice. Last night I realized that I'd forgotten a lot of toiletries at home, so I slept with my contact lenses in and planned to go to Weis after classes were finished. Well, this morning I opened my dresser drawer and found three unopened bottles of Opti-Free Express setting happily among my jewelry and other toiletries.

Chinese (CHI102) is in a completely different room this semester (although it's about three times larger, which is nice because the last classroom was possibly not even the size of my dorm). I was the first one in the room, and as everyone else trickled in I asked if they had studied. Nope, none of us had (are you kidding?), and we all thoroughly expected a lovely test bright and early at nine. We instead reviewed everything we'd learned (which I suprisingly remembered). For Wednesday, I have to review a lesson and write the characters ten times, and by next Wednesday, I have to finish the packet that was our final exam.
Funny story about that final. She told us that the sections would be graded with the best receiving an A and the worst an F, and she'd average everything together. Today when she handed out our exams, she told us that she graded us on the amount of pages we'd finished (there were about 25 and I think I finished 13 or 15). Either way, I received an A in that class last semester.

I'm psyched about Women in the Middle East (HIS283) and Islamic History (HIS255). Not only is Sarah (RAD) also taking HIS283, but there are only ten students! And Jeremy from ENG102 last semester is also taking HIS255.

Me: I have so much free time!
Matt: No, what you got is nap time.

Jeremy: You're my lifeline for this class. Remember that.

Sarah: Have you come to defend the class from rapists?
