Ok, after a good first week or so and some successful work under my belt, I am retracting my earlier optimism about Physics classes. The math, which I know already, is still hella hard. So hard I can't even begin to understand some of the problems without 20 minutes consulting the book and some sort of graphing software (Excel doesn't cut it). Also, I have yet to get my scholarship money in, so I have yet to buy my many English books. Hopefully, I will have something to write about once these books get in, because at the moment, I am literally cutting paragraphs out of old essays and piecing them together instead of actually writing something wholly new. I do this not because I can’t write new stuff, but because I’ve run out of things to say to these professors. And since I’m just repeating things I’ve said before, and I’m supremely lazy, I just rehash old essays which were once written for old professors. I need my books.
In other news, I don’t seem to have adjusted to my new medication quite as well as I had thought. It dries me out, making me constantly thirsty, and so I was drinking tons of water to compensate. Then I began to get used to being constantly thirsty (and feeling exactly the same after 3 bottles of water as I did after none) so I stopped drinking so much. Everything was back to normal, I just took an extra pill every morning. Apparently this can only go on for so long before biting me in the ass. Today, that ass was bitten as I was biking to school. Spots in my vision, darkness creeping in from the sides; I was probably about a minute away from passing out when I stopped and just sat for a bit, drinking the bottle I brought with me. Luckily I left early, so I had time to sit and cool off before continuing VERY SLOWLY on my journey. Since then I’ve either been drinking water or sleeping. Probably best not to push it so much in the future.
Finally, I want one of my friends to become a director (so probably David) and I want them to make a Blaxploitation film called “The Hunchblack of Notre Dame”. We agreed in my sci-fi film class that this title holds great potential.
