UGH!!! Reminder to self: Mondays and Wednesday bring a snack of some sort to eat. I'm HUNGRY, but I'm too lazy to walk all the way over to the middle of campus and all the way back here under an hour. So...thus...I sit in the "sitting area" of this building waiting for the class I want to add to start in a half hour, now. If I can't add this class then I'll go get some food on campus. I don't think I can go till 6pm on essentially a Boost all day, which is just a nutritional drink.

I have to say I'm really happy that I'm spending less money on books this year! The only really expensive book is my new Chem book, which I'm still trying to get out of having, but we'll see. I have to go back to work this week and pick up the books I ordered and a new book for my service learning class. I have to get _Guns, Germs, and Steel_ by Jared Diamond. I'm SO thankful I work at a bookstore...*shakes head*

My first two classes so far have gone well. My history (SBS 212) class should be interesting. The class is to be taught looking at different perspectives on history from 1900 to 2000. She's...kind of radical in her thinking. Basically assuming all of us college students does drugs, drinks, and has lots of sex. Also the assumption that we think history is a pointless class compared to math. Which, funny enough, everything she said that we don't do walking around in the world I sometimes do. So...proves to her that I'm NOT the average student. The nice thing about the class...Is Mondays we are in-class and Wednesdays is no class. Part of the class is on-line and part is face-to-face. I have to do two hours a week of on-line discussion stuff. That's not too bad. The bad thing...I have to spend some ACTUAL time with a civil rights group...I have to pick a civil rights group and spend some actual time helping them or whatever. It can't be "office work" it has to be actually doing something....how weird is that? It's called...well...I forgot what's it's called, but it'll be interesting, none-the-less.

My other class, Service Learning (SL) 200S (disease & environment) shall also be interesting. It's basically some random class-time spent on biology, quizzes, etc and I ALSO have to do 30 hours for the semester of community service, if you wanna call it that. There's pre-ordained places, unfortunately. I'm kind of nervous on the 30 hours that I have to do and the places they have picked. The places are Natividad Hospital, Dorothy's Hospitality Suite, and 3 places that have to do with AIDS or needle exchange. To say the least, this class looks really interesting, but really time consuming.

I hate to say it, but I'm going to be SO happy when this semester is over. It looks like a lot of my classes are going to be time consuming and a LOT of reading. I mean, my SBS class has 5 required books for it. One of them we're only going to go through about half of it, but still! My SL class has one book, which isn't too bad. Of course there's Chemistry, which will be lots of studying time. My ASL class which will be hell on earth, unless I somehow really like Mo and don't kill myself. Lastly, there's my health (HPWE 161) class. Which looks really easy. Hopefully...I dunno...19 units and a lot of community service time, who knows what the heck is going to happen to me the rest of this semester. I'm just glad it's only one semester and not the whole year!

Whelps, for now...that's all. I'll update if I get into the 4pm ASL class or not or whatever else I learn about ASL...The one class I'm not looking foreward to taking.
