First day of actual school stuff

Yeah... actually went to classes for the first time today.

First was Jogging at 9 AM.  Or it would've been, anyway, if my teacher had actually shown up; instead, the whole class sat there for half an hour waiting for any sign of the guy and then eventually ended up leaving.  After that was Western Civilization II (basically, a history class.)  Seemed like I'll probably like that one; I usually do like history classes, so that'd be pretty normal.  We got a good-sized reading assignment already, but since we don't need to finish until Wednesday I should be fine (it's only seven chapters, and the book is pretty thin so they're probably not very long chapters.)

After that was the "Becoming a Leader-Servant" class.  Kind of the oddball class of my schedule--the only one that's way too crowded, and its schedule is just odd in all kinds of ways (no regular classes on Fridays, instead we go listen to someone speak in the gym building somewhere; plus no class on this Wednesday or next Monday either.)  I'm not entirely sure what kind of class it is just yet, it was sort of explained as a "student orientation" kind of class when I was signing up but there's also service projects and stuff like that involved.  Waaaay too crowded, and since I got in late, all the decent seats were taken; the only ones left were way over in the corner somewhere where I would be cramped in and surrounded.  Pretty awful.  Good thing the class only lasted for a few minutes (giving out some basic information about the class's schedule and such) before we could leave.

After that was Painting, which seemed like it'll be a pretty good class.  Really far away from the rest of campus, though; it's a bit of a walk getting up there.  I might want to bring that little fan Mom bought me to that one, too... it was  a bit warm in there with no air conditioning.
Last was Spanish, which went pretty well despite my teacher not being there for some odd reason.  Unfortunately I don't have the Spanish workbook with all the homework assignments and such in it, but I might be able to kind of mooch off of someone else in the class and get copies of the workbook pages or something.  Hopefully I'll bump into someone from the class that I actually know earlier tomorrow, since there's an assignment due tomorrow...

Finally got my school email set up (reason why I wasn't able to get in before, even knowing what the default password was supposed to be? my account didn't exist yet), my roommate got the mini-fridge and microwave he said were going to come in (this actually happened on Saturday, I just forgot to mention it back then, heh), and I went to one of the LDS ward barbecues I ended up being invited to, which started off pretty bad since it started pouring down rain almost as soon as I got down there and I had to walk all the way back up the hill to get to the spot where they relocated it to (inside.)  Fortunately, it got better afterward; got to talk to some people some, showed people some stuff I've drawn, and  ate some good food (the hotdogs, once they finally showed up, were really good--I actually ate four of them without even having mustard or onions or anything, and I rarely ever eat a plain hotdog; they have to be grilled really well to be that good.)  Not sure how tommorow will go, what with not being able to do my Spanish assignment due to not having the workbook, but aside from that I only have one class... maybe.  Depends on whether I got into that waitlisted Art History class or not, which I won't find out until I get there.
