silver lining
While my hate for uni is well-documented, I must say I am extremely excited about starting Introduction to Cinema Studies! Although the weekly screening clashes with a 1-hour lecture for one of my subjects (I'll have to skip it and just listen to it on the Uni website, unless I have a test or something), I've just looked at my lecture schedule and it promises to be unadulterated awesome.

I can't remember the last time I felt so excited about the institution that is education (despite the fact I'll be surrounded mostly by 1st years). It has pretty much washed off the disappointment I've been feeling about missing Vampire Weekend tickets.
