Classes

Well I had my 2nd class today...it seemed like it will be fun. If you know me you know that I like history (hence the whole history major thing...). Today's class was The History of Scottish Society from 1832-1914, and it sounds pretty interesting. My professor looks a lot like Patrick Swayze...at least a young Patrick Swayze like in Dirty Dancing. I got my student ID card today. Still not quite sure why the Registry office didn't see it fit to give me this the first day I came to them but whatever. I wasn't quite ready for the lady to take my picture so I look like an idiot, but what's new...some of us just aren't very photogenic. I also found out that the exam schedule isn't made up until after Easter. I'm so not used to this whole academic system here. It's really weird. I'm used to having a set schedule of classes. They have tutorials here which meet every fortnight (2 weeks). I have one class that is supposed to meet 2 days a week, but we only have it on Thursday like 5-6 times this semester. I'm not complaining about that one though. I'm also not sure if I've signed up for the right classes or not. I was pre-registered for a bunch of classes...apparently they don't have class size limits, so you just sign up and come to the ones you want and drop the ones you don't want...I'm not sure. But I'm pre-registered for some finance classes I've never heard of...like I don't know where they got the idea to register me for these. So I've tried to drop them and sign up for the ones I want, but apparently I screwed something up because I got an email saying I have to talk to my advisor "immediately." But I think once I meet with him things will start to fall into place and I'll have a better grasp on this whole thing. I'm gonna sign up for the gym tomorrow. The people here don't seem very big, so hopefully the place won't be too crowded. But hopefully they still have all the equipment I want too haha. Keith pointed that out to me tonight, and there really aren't very many big strong people here. I fit right in haha. Not many people come in and out of the gym. So we'll see how that goes tomorrow. And I went grocery shopping today. They don't bag your groceries for you and you have to buy your grocery bags if you want to use them...otherwise you carry your stuff home. Thankfully someone told me about this beforehand so I had a bag with me. It's weird though. Well I think I've written enough for tonight. Until next time...
