new school day
so. this morning i woke up feeling fresh and wonderful. I worked out with jessie last night. we did this walking dvd thing. pretty tough and amazing. b/c we walked 4 miles. and i sweated like a Corona in the sun. it's true what they say. working out makes you sleep earlier...which is just what i needed. ive been in this night-owl mode lately. had to snap out of it. mission accomplished.
anyway, back to my first day back to the campus of rush, coral-colored pants, and Uggs.
9:00
First class was none other than Survey of World Literature to 1650. WEEEE. ::insert sarcastic face here:: anyway. i collect by the door with the other students...most drowsily rubbing their eyes, some staring of into the abyss of Bondurant's second floor, lucky ones sipping coffee, and the most common ones reading the Daily Mississippian. It's amazing how many people go through the exact same process when entering a class for the first time. i got there about five minutes before class was to start. there were about, eh, 30 people standing around waiting for the doors to magestically open and invite everyone in. I saw someone i knew, chatted about the morning's events thus far, then one of us zombies got smart and finally tried opening the door...which was completely unlocked. hah
so we all go into this auditorium that was probably a once brilliant blue, now cracked and faded over 80 or so years im sure. I sit about midway back...figure thats a safe distance. I like to get a good look at everyone else in the room. I've noticed people's eyes are super shifty when they're trying to figure out where to sit...you'd think they're smuggling black tar heroine. Everyone makes their seats, then we hear a "hello" come from the stage. Our professor, who kinda looks like this guy:
comes in wearing a charcoal grey non-quite-turtleneck and light pants. Immediately he starts going into deep explaination about how if we are wise, drop this class. he claims the work load will be too much for the average student. he continues the threats by telling us we'll have to read over 150 pages a week....::chuckle::
He goes on to start nonsense rambling about Troy and Homer's Odyssey...which i find pretty interesting. he breaks his hard-to-follow train of thought to tell us about a you tube video we should check out called Angry Professor...(i havent looked this up yet) then he finishes the hour up with more nonsense rambling about some german guy who apparently found Troy...? I don't really know what all was said..he has one of those pleasant voices that is set moderately high, to make him seem as if he were talking about something of great importance...but unfortunately he has a voice that could lull even the most colic of babies. he closes the first class with another attempt to widdle the class down in size by showing us the size of our book...doesn't really work on me. im far too stubborn for that.
Go to the library (i have an hour break) buy this monster of a book. $66.65 ugh. head to my piano class early to start reading the odyssey. after the first paragraph, i did kinda think of dropping. but i won't...because ive read the first chapter and i like it...so there.
11:00
piano was amazing as always. we're going to work on a song i've already looked at. heehee
12:00
went onto glee. new people!!!! exciting! not many...but still!
1:00
onto LUNCH! b/c for the first time in forever,...i got an hour break for lunch! but this wont last long..its just first day luck, we usually have performance labs wed. at one...sooo YAY
2:00
onto concert singers. four newbies from glee made it into C Singers. good for them!!!
3:00
onto....THEORY. ::insert the scariest music ever:: Laurdella immediately got down to business...made us sing solfedge. asked us about chord inversions and what each meant given a certain position in a musical score...wtf and a lot of other mind melting things.
4:00
then finally opera. fun class. one of the newbies from glee and concert singers is in opera. he's a hottie, tenor, with a hard looking edge...but not in the "look at me, im a hard ass" way. but he has scruff and an earring (which i wouldnt normally think is attractive, but in this case...very)
opera gets out. i get out at 5:45.
get back at the house at 5:55
WHEW
worked out again...abs hurt, legs hurt..but in a good way. ate noodles, watched the real world!!!! guilty pleasure!!!!
and here i am.
