book 7/ school started/Naruto
Posted somewhere else, but it fits here.
I saw the thing about the book today and I was like "oh, okay, cool" but I'm not so very psyched about it. Still haven't reserved a copy and honestly probably won't. I'll just go buy it where ever I happen to be. Uch, I'll have classes then. Will have to balance that with reading HP, just like I did with HBP. Annoying little thing. I'm glad to see the story ending, but I'm not sure I care much beyond that. In the past few months, I've found so many other things to be interested in, so HP just isn't that important anymore. I mean, I still love the books and the characters, but I've got so many worlds I want to play in now. Maybe it's just cause I've stuck with fandom so long. I'm wondering if all the discussion and analysis and debate and drama just took a lot of the fun out of it. If I'm sort of glad it's all ending cause it closes the chapter. I get to see what happens and can take it from there.
School started Monday, so dealing with that. I'm taking physics II(calculus based optics, electricity, and magnetism), Linear Systems II, Probability and Statistics for Electrical Engineers, Software Design, and Advanced Grammar. Physics is boring, mind numbingly boring. The teacher manages to make things that I know confusing, and he teaches straight from the text, and it's just hard to stay awake. The professor for Linear Systems has yet to explain how anything he's showing in class relates to electrical engineering, or really anything else. Probability and Stats is basically some combo of stats and discrete math, both of which I've taken, so I must try to actually pay attention and not rely on what I already know. Software Design is a Java class, which isn't bad cause Java isn't a hard langauge, but I hate coding, though it looks like the final project is going to have a MySQL component or something. The previous sentence would probably horrify my Advanced Grammar teacher, although I'm not sure if it is actually a run on. Advanced Grammar is very nitpicky and tedious and pure torture, but it's also required for work. And on some level, I have always wanted to get some formal instruction in grammar, although I could live without having to define what part of speech every word in a sentence takes. (And yes, I know that the subjunctive clause in the previous sentence ends rather badly. I blame school. Or something.)
Oh, and current obsession - I should replace the music or mood with this - is Naruto. This is a show that I was avoiding like the plague because of the endless filler and the fact that it's a ninja show, but omg, the characters. There are about a million and yet I'm interested in all of them and care about most of them. Everyone sort of fits a stereotype but sort of shatters it too. For a ninja show, the fights aren't all that great, but it doesn't even matter.
