the swamp

Oh my God, it is so hot in here right now! The A/C's blowing nothing but hot air and the entire wing is in a rut. It sucks right now cuz I'm sure there's some mold spore waiting for his chance to wreak havoc on my allergy system.

Otherwise, things have been prety interesting. After spending a few days with my roommates, their personalities come out a little more. As our RA Todd said, "The honeymoon is over." Matt's cool. He reminds me a bit of Kyle Craig, though not as eccentric. I mean, how can you go wrong with a guy who likes The Price is Right as much as I do? Brian's definitely the ladies' man. The other night it took me two hours to realize that his room was closed and the girl who had been hanging out with us hadn't left. I'm sorry, I'm just not used to these kinds of things. And Dan's a lot more reserved, though he really likes X-Men. He's back in Mesa for the weekend, so I think the room is all mine for th etime being.

My classes are... interesting. Some more than others. Chem and chem lab are complete bores, but that's cuz I'm not into chem. Sitting in the first row yesterday, I was about to doze off had Aubrey Finkelstein not asked me a question. Math is very basic. First we learn vectors, then we do some calculus, and then we actually do vector calculus. My TRAD 101 is really cool, patterns in prehistory. Since it's an honors class, we get lecture from the head of the Anthroplogy department. The topic itself is neat, basically an itro to prehistory and the native cultures before interacting with each other (We go from Africa to Mesopotamia to Egypt to East Asia to North America and then end at South America with the arrivel of Cortez.) It's just really sad how, according to the prof, when you ask someone to name a famous archaeologist they usually respond with "Indiana Jones."

English is cool and weird. Out teacher, a classically trained poetess with a British education, is gonna us have us watch movies instead of reading books. Our first unit project is gonna focus on "Fight Club" (the movie, not the book) to analyze stuff. It sounds cool, but I have no idea how hard/easy this class will be.

And Ryan Maish is gonna be in my Engineering team. that's pretty cool. I forget what we're gonna do, but we already have 2 assignments due next Friday.

But this AC problem is hideous. Can I hang over at your place?
