First day of classes (again, heh.)

Yep... first day of classes has come and gone, along with that extra day (yesterday) that was sandwiched in between moving-in day and actually-going-to-classes day. Classes seem mostly okay so far; Art History and Spanish are both crammed full, but I got a decent seat in Spanish (in addition to... actually get into the class; I wasn't sure that was going to happen at first since the SVU website was being wonky about whether or not I was even registered for that one) and hopefully a decent amount of people are going to drop out of Art History in the next week or so and the room will clear out a bit.  Managed to get all of my books before any of them sold out this time, most of them used (...except for the most expensive one, that is.  Crap.)  Turns out I need to get an add/drop form for Art History, though (since I'm still technically on the waitlist), and I also need to drop out of that Digital Photography class that I took as a backup in case I ended up not making it into Spanish.  Other than that, I shouldn't have too much trouble with classes, though I can't say what the Monday/Wednesday(/Friday) classes are going to be like yet at this point.

And of course, I bumped into a bunch of people I know today (and yesterday), and actually ended up talking to several of them for at least 10-15 minutes or so.  The only problem I've run into so far is the heat/cold in my room... when it got down into the 20s or below the first night here, I actually got cold and needed to turn the heat on for a while, and now that it's not cold at all (45-ish I think), my roommate is getting sick and is keeping the heat on all the freakin' time.  Which means that, even on the lowest setting, my room turns into an oven.  Let's hope I can get him to turn that off before it's time to go to bed, because there is no way I will ever be able to get any sleep with that heater on.  Even when it was in the 20s I never left it on for more than a half-hour or maybe an hour at a time, and that's just on the lowest setting! Anything warmer than that and I'd be worried that my bed would catch fire and my Wii's wires would melt while I was away.
