I had a really hard time sleeping last night. I don't know why, I guess maybe I was nervous about my first classes, not knowing at all what to expect. But they went great, actually.
My first class was Sociology at 9:10, so I got up and ate some breakfast and then went to class. It seems like it's gonna be pretty awesome. The professor seems to have majored in Fucking With People's Heads. He was being all like, "How do you know that this book is blue? Just because you all say it's blue, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is. It could be green to someone else." And that was only the beginning.
"He can't taste anything. Describe what chocolate tastes like."
"He's blind. Describe yellow."
"How many of you believe New Zealand exists? How do you know?"
The point of all this is he's trying to establish that we base our society on the assumption that everyone perceives the world exactly the same way we do. It should be pretty interesting.
My Foundation of Music Theory class should be pretty cool, too, I guess. It got me enraged though. The professor was like, "Think of the way you learned math, from grade 1 where it was simple addition to 12th grade with Calculus for some. Now think about all the music classes you've had over the years. What level would you put yourself at?"
The point here is that they don't teach music as intensively as maybe they should, but we all knew that.
Yeah. I bought some books today. Cost hella bunches of money, and I still need books for two classes. And I need to find a long enough ethernet cable to reach the xbizzle.
Isaac's gone off the deep end. Something about a biturong. I think he probably shouldn't come home, it might be damaging him.
I think that's it. Next class, English at 12:25. Whee!
