A VII Sort of Semester

Wah, I'm back at MIT and just finished my first week of classes. Maybe posting will get a bit more regular now. Man, I keep saying that... :P Well, there's a lot to talk about since I haven't written in forever. Canada was great - Halifax is a nice little city. Canada is very scenic... Long car rides did get a bit tiresome there, although I was able to get a lot more of my cross-stitch project done. Yeah, the one I've been working on since sometime in high school. ^^;

Swimming at home was awesome as ever. I got a bit better at DDR over the summer. Hm, I even got to visit Mike once near the end of summer, which was cool, although it mostly served to drive home once again what a pathetic person I am in public. *coughs* Well, other than that, I didn't do too much for the remainder of summer. And here I am and back into the old routine.

But this term is going to be a bit different from what I'm used to. I'm taking my Intro to Algorithms class like a good little CS student, and it looks horrible and frightening so far, but other than that, I'm taking the opportunity to be an honorary biology student. For those of you unfamiliar with MIT-speak, I'm officially Course VI-3, that is, a computer science major. However, I'm also trying to minor in VII - biology. This term I'm taking Genetics as well as Bio Lab. Genetics looks like a pretty easy class, and a bunch of my friends are in it, so that should be fun. And Bio Lab actually sounds exciting. Time-intensive, but exciting. Plus, it gives me the chance to meet people that I wouldn't normally meet otherwise. I'd say that it'll give me the chance to meet people outside my major, but my assigned lab partner is a Course VI senior who has never worked in a lab setting before, so that's it for that great idea. :P I was really worried about getting lotteried out of this class, so I'm especially excited that I got in. It better live up to my expectations.

My fourth class, of course, is Japanese. It's kind of scary because I don't remember everything, and we kind of took off running. Well, there's going to be serious reviewing this weekend, I think. I'm also totally excited that I'm no longer the anime club librarian, so I will actually be able to do stuff on Saturday afternoons instead of slaving away in the club office. Ohhhhh yeah!!! :D

So I guess that's about all that's going on with me right now. Things seem cool so far, but you know how it is... I totally expect that I shall be whining miserably in my next post. ^o^;
