Auuuuuuuuuuuuuugh finally back in my warm happy room

So remember how I lost my iPod in the shuttle? They were still holding onto it, thank god. But I had to go get it myself at the shuttle company's office. The bus didn't get me very close, and it was raining. I was irritated. There was, however, a bus that was able to take me back. Which was nice.

Anyway, important thing is I got my iPod back. Musiiiiiiiiiiiiiic.

Other important thing is first class today. I hadn't realized that writing papers was going to be such a big deal; they expect something every week, on top of the big research paper due at the end. Learning that made me nervous; I haven't written a real research paper in years, and I've never enjoyed them much at all. But then I recalled that this is, essentially, what a college workload is supposed to be like, and I should suck it up because it doesn't mean the class is any less interesting.  So I'll just. See how this works.

Yay! You got your iPod back! It really nice to know that the lost and found system works sometimes.

I found two things that help me with reports. One, take one report at a time and try to forget there is another for the class in X days. And if your professors give you a schedule of the course, copy them down onto a month calender. Test dates, report due dates, major assignments, quizzes, and so on. It helps me visualize and break all my classes down into more meaningful segments.

I do this as well.

Yeah, that's the one thing I worry about with Grad School, since this past semester has been spent as an Intern not really writing the kinds of papers I'm going to be expected to write when I go for my Masters.

Ah, well. I guess I'll just have to get back into that when the time comes.
