Turntable Tuesday

Dear Blog,

Today I went to PSY 441, Psychology of Adolescence. The professor seems like someone who knows what they're talking about, and someone I feel that I can approach whenever I have concerns. Then following PSY 441, I went to ENG 362, Non-European World Literature (Postcolonial Literature: The Empire Writes Back), and then to ENG 315, Creative Writing: Fiction II at 2:00. Non-European World Literature seems like it won't be a challenge if I simply read the material and start on the essay soon. Same for PSY 441 (heck, sounds like I can simply listen in class and be fine). And ENG 315 seems like if I schedule my time wisely, no big issues should arise.

Yesterday, I went to PSY 315, History and Systems of Psychology. Dr. Williams teaches this course, and taught my Experimental Psychology class over the summer (side note: John Penick, who was in Experimental Psychology, if also in both PSY 441 and PSY 315 this semester). The class is reminiscent of a standard history class, so I don't think I have much to worry about. SPN 102, on the other hand, might prove to be more difficult than I previously thought. I remember the basic of Spanish, but she seemed to expect much more from students. Perhaps it won't be too bad, but I am still quiet nervous. And I haven't started IDS 275 yet, but I really hope it's not an intense class.

I bought a poster of Spock and poster House, M.D. today. I opted not to buy the one of Yoda, since I already have three other Star Wars posters here at school. But I felt that Star Trek needed to be represented, along with House. Maybe I get an Einstein poster, too, if I find one I like.

Plans for today include trying to do laundry, hanging posters, cleaning up my room, and rearranging my bed. Of course, homework will fall into place in the spaces between other activities, as it usually does.

Grocery Bingo Bash had a huge turnout, so I was excited about that. The bingo set used had two sets of bingo balls in the cage, so I called out numbers over and over. The commentary from the residents wasn't too bad, but it did get old, especially after I clarified the issue and the comments kept coming. And what was meant to be remarks to one or two people became heard throughout the lobby, since we set up the speakers and microphone so people could clearly hear the numbers. C'est la vie. I'll just opt out of public speaking positions for a while.

Slide N' Glide tonight. My chance to dance? Probably not. Hall Council info session, too. That'll be exciting. Well, I should start doing something constructive.

Until next time!
