Hello from Oberlin!<\/p>\n
I’ve just registered for classes: intros to chemisty, computer science,
creative writing (poetry), and a first-year seminar about Jello cubes or
pyromania or underwater accounting or something, I’m not entirely sure. I’ve
heard that I have the worst of the Chem 101 professors and don’t know
anything about the others. I got into all of my first-choice classes (those
that didn’t have schedule conflicts, anyway–I couldn’t take a single math
class out of the 5 I looked at, or psychology, or ), but I’m still debating
the switching of computer science for Chinese because Chinese is probably
awesome, but computer science is potentially good and you have to start it
earlier. But Chinese! Aww, man! Now I don’t know what to do! And I already
spent my lucky fifty-cent piece on a Socialist newspaper about how I should
vote for Ralphius Nader. Yeah, right.<\/p>\n
That’s 15 credit hours right now (10 min, 16 max), so maybe I can get into a
class on playing Go for one more hour. My advisor and other dudes are all
like, “That’s a very… full schedule. Two labs?!” but I don’t get it
because college is supposed to be easy, right? I mean, since it costs so
much and all. I figure I can just play Minesweeper and Doom 3 all the time;
those are on the computer so I wouldn’t really need to go to CompSci class
much anyway.<\/p>\n
The cafeteria isn’t open yet and all the restaurants are really far away,
like 2 blocks, so I’ve been living entirely off of a bag of Reese’s peanut
butter cups (the mini ones). I put some of them in the fridge with the
baking soda and the knife, but so far no one has eaten any. I live in an
all-freshman, co-ed hall that’s right next to virtually everything
important, on the third floor in the corner (2 walls are windowy!). My
roommate is a gigantic Visigoth who likes to eat babies, perform dark
rituals, and cook Indian food. He’s cool.<\/p>\n
Sweet, I just finished downloading an episode of ER from the ReplayTV at
home and it only took 13 hours. I’m almost done watching every ER ever, oh
no. I’ll write more when I actually start to learn stuff.<\/p>\n
Bagels,<\/p>\n
