Back to School...
Ah, the first day of school. New books, new laptop, new professors and different people in every class! So exiciting! So far I have 100% attendance. Pretty good. Of course it was only the first day, but to be fair, I did have five classes today. If I was a weaker person I would have skipped one or at least napped through the three classes where the powerpoint slides will be posted online after every class.
I love powerpoint, or more accurately professors who use powerpoint. Nothing like being too lazy to switch up the syllabus now and then, why bother when you already have slides for every lecture? I wonder why the professors don't care that we now have a free pass to play solitaire or IM during class. They can't be naive enough to think that if we know the powerpoints are online that we will actually pay attention and/or take notes.
On a more personal note, while my schedule rocks due to some creative rearranging last semester, reading for 5 classes 3 nights a week does not. Either I will be at school late or become lazy and start driving to school so I can bring 5 books home. In any event, I am exhausted and it's only 9:30. I still have two more classes to read for!! Apparently I will be spending some time this weekend speed reading a week's worth of stuff for at least 3 classes. Brilliant.
Perhaps the best part of today was the professor who wore a seersucker suit with a red bowtie today. Very Tucker Carlson. This may just be me, but I think seersucker suits are only appropriate for gracefully aging men about 50 or so. They just look silly on anyone else, hence my 30 something professor looked very stuffy and uncomfortable. I hope he didn't spend a lot of time planning what he was going to wear today. I also can't believe that his wife let him out of the house looking like that. It will be interesting to see what he wears tomorrow. More importantly, what am I going to wear tomorrow?!? We're having some typical DC weather, hot and humid, very pleasant during the 15 minute walk uphill to the Metro. Of course school has decided that it needs to be 55 degrees inside since it's hot outside. Our lack of a properly working dryer is severely impairing my clothing options. I just don't have the patience to wait 5 hours for my jeans to dry. Wonder if I could pull off a formal dress at school? At least I know those are clean!
That said, now that school has started I will be back to blogging regularly instead of studying. I expect some comments people! Where's the love?

We withhold love until you post. Now that you've updated, the love shall be forthcoming. Now get back to your solitaire game!
now that you have five classes (with internet in at least one) in a row, i expect to read some new posts everyday within those hours. hopefully, something mean and offensive.
