Snapping my fingers does not make me think faster

[music] The Beatles - Hey JudeSo I just got done with my first day of classes, again (you know, I'm no longer of freshman status). Unfortunately I can't say i'm as happy as I was last semester, or the one before, but more on that later.
South Carolina was alright, but there wasn't a lot to do because my cousin had to work every day. The last day we finally went to the beach (Isle of Palms, aka IOS). We played catch and I got a bad sunburn.
The flight home went without a hitch, despite the mechanics strike. In fact, I gave up my seat on an overbooked flight and got a voucher for a free roundtrip plane ticket. And I got home just an hour later. cool? I thought so.
Mom picked me up and we went straight to Bloomington because we had packed a lot of my stuff ahead of time. Unloaded it, got a suburban-load of stuff from storage to the house, then Mom and I went home. Next day loaded up the rest of my stuff and we moved everything into our new house (btw new house = excellent). 'Nuff 'bout dat, yo.
First week in Bloomington: great. Partied at Kolski's twice, drink some at teh house, and drank at Andy and Sharon's friend's house, even though he wasn't there, so we played poker with his roommate. Won $8!
Now for class summary:
C335 - Computer Structures
I can already tell this class is going to be great. The class is about the way computers process code, and it is centered around Goofy Giggles. cool? i thought so. Looks very promising. The worst part about the class is it's in the business school, a nice 25 minute walk to get me up for a 9:30 class. Oh well, can't complain to much. The lab is in one of the UNIX labs in Lindley. I think I'm actually at a little advantages thanks to robotics.
M311 - Calculus 3
OH CRAP! I already don't like this teacher. I guess he's new to IU, new to the midwest, and he talks with a lisp, which drives me crazy. He kinda doesn't seem to have a clear plan on how to teach the class. Also i think that he thinks we're all idiots, which if you're stupid enough to take Calc 3 you're probably pretty smart. We'll just have to see how this goes. The good news is we don't have class on friday, although it's on the schedule like that.
C241 - Discrete Math
OH CRAP AGAIN! The prof basically spent an hour and a half on a mix between topics covered and whhhhhyyyyy it's important to cs majors. I think he's really full of himself. Also, he plugged his 400-level class like 3 times on the first day. lame! The good thing is that friday discussions are not required. yay!
So that's all for now. I will try to update this mor often now that summer is over. Oh! I am a UI for C211, meaning I will be grading lab notebooks and holding office hours. Office hours!! how cool is that?
