Time Passes

"Whelp I ended up spending much of this weekend sitting around on the computer. Saturday night I was just about to give up and try and sleep when I got to talking with a fruhead on campus who had emailed me as a result of The Cat. SHe seems like a cool person, however I'm unlikely to hang out with her as she claims she never leaves her room. Just like me to find the hermit on campus, not that I'm doing much better myself. :)
On Sunday a local friend from the CT POly group picked me up and we wandered downtown New Haven for a while. It was fun and useful as seh's lived in the city for years and therefore knows all about lots of different neat places in town. Went back to her place afterwards and chatted while she made a cake for the CT Poly group's 1 year aniversary. I also got a chance to admire her husband's car, a classic Porsche 914 with a Chevy V-8 in it. Looks like it'll be an insanely fun ride when it's done.
She, her husband and I headed over to the CT Poly get-together which was a t the SciFI Cafe in New Haven, and really neat place with blacklights, spaceships and aliens in it. Got to hang out with the whole CT Poly group and have lots of fun silly conversations.
Before we left I thought I had misplaced my camera at their place and had to go back and look for it. Right about the time we had run out of places it could be and thought I must have left it outside where it was stolen I looked in the other pocket of my backpack and found it. I'm such a moron sometimes.
Came back and fiddled around online for a bit before passing out.

School Shtuff

"Because people might be interested, I figured I'd post my school schedule.
Mon & Wed.
Philosophy 120 'Ethics' 9:10am -10am. Is an interesting class the teacher is forcing us to think and interact with him, this beats the hell out of having facts thrown at you. I also have this class on Fridays at the same time.
a nice leisurely 8.25 hour break
English 100 6:15pm-7:30pm. I'm auditing this class to help me inporve my writing skills and remember how to write papers and the like (since I haven't had to write a paper in at least 3.5 years).


Tues & Thurs
Enviromental Studies 301 9:35am-10:50am. Spend 1.25 hours listening to how big business and making money is bad and saving the envoriment and protecting ppl is good.
Macroeconomics 100 11am-12:15pm. Spend 1.25 hours listening to how big business and making money is good and saving the envoriment and protecting ppl is only good if it helps you make more money. The disconnect between this and the previous class is quite entertaining.
Psychology 228 'Personality theories' 1:50pm -3:15 pm. This class is probably going to be my downfall. I really can't get th teacher's style, and I have a paper due on Thursday that I have not been able to find reference materials for dispite checking the library here and several bookstores (though I have a possible source for the books I need but I won't get them til tues or wed).
Fri
Same Philosophy class as above. at the same time. But not the english class.

Not a horrible schedule, though the gap on mon -wed is kinda weird. And th cafeteria closes at 7pm so I Have to eat before my english class. I busses over to Shaws and did some shopping last week though so I have some supplies laid in if I get hungry after the cafeteria closes.
Next big step is to get a job, and also figure out if there is a way to bus back up to the hartford area so I can see ppl up there w/o them having to come pick me up.
Also if anyone wants my new phone # email me and I'll send it off to you."

Tea

"I just made myself my first cup of peppermint tea with honey since I moved here. I knew there was something important missing in my life.
Tea is goodness."

Smiteage

"My Psychology teacher must be smited.
We have three papers, each worth 25% of our grade (the other 25% is class participation). Our semester is 17 weeks long. When are these papers (which are important enough to be worth a quarter of our grade each) due? The 4th, 5th, and 8th weeks of class. Yeah that makes sense, big important papers, so we'll have you have to do them all before midterm. There are no finals in the class, so prepping forthem isn't a reason to cram this all in the begining.
But wait, there's more! Those may not be the due dates, depending on which theorist you are doing your paper on they may be due at other times. Except that we don't know when that might change the due date to so we have to have the paper done by the initial due date and if we're lucky we might be able to get a rewrite in before we actaully have to present. But we don't know if we haveto hand in something on the intial due date or if she won't ask for anythign until our presentaions.
In other words, I need to smite this woman with the complete works of Sigmund Frued."

In which Pixel demonstrates a complete lack of class...
