Eating a healthy balanced breakfast–these folks will custom make Belgian waffles for you. Someday I will learn to resist. “No Freshman-15, no Freshman-15…” *mutter mutter* Notifying my father of the fact that I broke his damned expensive Fontopia Earbuds today by losing one of the swivel-ly pieces. Any calculus homework–‘cuz I got it all done for the week, baby. Oh, yeah! Any physics homework–‘cuz the books still haven’t come in and I’m still hella broke. Being late for Calculus–‘cuz I’m leaving right now.

Read this. It reminds me oh-so-vaguely of a rant or two I’ve had about the use of the word “gay” as a derogatory adjective. Except Michelle used more profanity. On a much more juvenile, personal, inconsequential note, I’m falling head over heels in love with… no, not the cutie pie from downstairs (who really can’t dress, and this is even by my standards), but my Rhetoric in Science class. You know how you start learning what is really a teeny bit about a subject, and feel like you could read about it for days, but aren’t quite sure where the path should go? No?

He said just said where is the…

I change my mind about 50 minute classes. They’re quite fine, compared with being kicked out of Engineering Chemistry because the teacher is concerned about breaking the poor, poor, first-term freshmen by giving us (heaven fucking forbid!) a course with a lab (like I don’t already have one). So they set Calc I as a prerequisite, and I am out of a class. After hunting through all the humanities courses and other required courses that I can take this term, it looks like I’m taking an Electrical and Chemical Engineering course called Intro to Logic Design that’s a required course for Comp Sci folks. Now, if only I hadn’t missed…
