To be a little bit more of a pessimist for a few more seconds, I really need a massage. My shoulders are still killing me :( I don't know why.
Also, I don't know why I'm talking/ blogging so sophisticatedly. I mean, I did just email two of my profs regarding exams, so that must play a part in all this proper and intellectual way of talking - haha. Well probably not so much the haha, you know what I'm saying? :P
Enough of that I guess.
So the verdict of this week, transit isn't so bad. True, it's long, but considering that it only takes approximately half an hour more than me driving, it ain't so bad. Sure, it bumps up the commute to about 1.5 hours (fml haha) - I get reading done and it's annoying to drive during rush hours in the mornings anyway. So I only drive on days I have to - or days I really don't want to transit. Something like that. Sure, it's only been 3 days of school, coming up on four, but that is the plan. No way half a tank of gas will get me there a few times a week anyway. Plus, transitting is free, technically... AND, it allows me to have a life during the weekends if I insist on being cheap and want the 30 bucks to last. So really, transitting is a no brainer, right? Haha :)
As far as classes go, I honestly don't have a verdict yet. All I can say is, it's very very very different from high school - and more specifically PA. (Thanks tips). I mean, if you went to a public school with let's say 1200 students in a high school, the anonymity (did I use that right?) isn't too foreign or bizarre. But considering that PA had approximately 400 students in the high school, suddenly having to sit in lectures with that many students in one class is, like I said, very very very different. Plus, structurally speaking, it's definitely more independent - which I guess, was to be expected. But still, if you knew me well, you'd know this - I like structure and while university has some of that - I do miss being spoonfed my to-do list. It was nice.
Today, I handed in my first "mark" for university. In the sense that...it was a lab and the first thing that is going to get marked for me. It was pretty scary. But I think I'm going to like the people I work beside, they're nice. I guess sometimes you have to remind yourself that you're all pretty much in the same boat, trying to find your way for the first time at school - for the most part...give or take a few 2nd years or whatever. Since you know...I'm not in the BASIC chem course...what's up now?! Just kidding, I didn't really have a choice. I was originally signing up for the other chem course - which I was so excited about when I noticed that it was basically a review of chem 12 - but psych...that's exactly what it was. It was basically chem 12 in university - so to my dismay, I couldn't take it. Haha, so here I am, taking the more advanced chem course. Wait, remind me - why am I taking chem again? Just kidding.
On the bright side of things, my lab didn't quite run the four hours today, so I got home around 530, which is around what time the lab usually ends at...haha oh my. But hey, we are back next week...maybe if I'm lucky!
...I guess this proper, intellectual talk is still going.
Also, today is the 9th. Tomorrow is the 10th. (Yeah, it is).
Which means that tomorrow will be 2 months since I moved to Richmond.
Really...only two months?
Okay, it's past my bedtime now, and I'm too lazy to get into deeper thoughts in that it will mean that I will get to bed late, and I'm pretty excited about my sleep. Not to mention, I'll feel guilty if I stay up too late, wasting time and not doing some sort of reading for school.
Oh, university life. (Ha...I sound so dumb saying that since it's only been 3 days. Oh well, I'll milk it for what it's worth.)
It's weird that it's here.
