Oohs and Ahhs

So today marked the 5th day of class this and a completion of a first full week this school year.  So far it seems like a good slate of study lays ahead of me.

I'm working at the new Burger Studio place Tuesday and Thursday mornings, as well at the new Subway on the weekends.  Both on campus, which is nice, but the hours are short.  The actual work has been pretty interesting.  I'm officially a fry cook.  Which is surprisingly fun.  I think I'll average 16 hours at my current rate.  Which is what? 120 dollars to take home every week?  It should pay the rent at least.  I'd like to see if I can't get into a seasonal retail position too.  I might die with this credit load though.

I'm just as fat as when I left.  There's a pull up bar at the bottom of the stairs that I've been doing a couple times a day, but that's the extent of my exercise this quarter.  I should get running in the morning.  I also need to get a regular diet to manage better than the current system of pulling random things out from the fridge.

Everyone I live with is awesome, but that wasn't a variable coming into the year.  Church is great.  Class really is great.  Especially my philosophical issues in law class.  It's got all of eight people in it.  Conversation becomes a lot easier.  I don't feel so much like I'm being a showy jerk bag if I open my mouth in that class.  There are no idiots in the class as far as I can tell.  Bobby Sterling, who I glowingly reviewed upon our meetcute in the back of Matt's car last Fall is in that class.

This is the most fun Switchfoot song since Stars.  Vice Verses seems a step up out of a mini-rut after one and a half listens.

Professor Parris wound up being the one to connect me to Mrs. Fisher.  How embarrassing.

My professor in this renaissance-modern political thought class stairs at the sealing whenever she talks for any extended period.  She speaks quite well otherwise.

Shakespeare is so far.  Alright.  She is not the greatest lecturer on philosophy I've had.  Matt, Jake, and Aaron being in that class makes it great of course.

I got a parking ticket from the immorally hawkish university police today. $25.  But if I don't get another one I'm not sure if they can force me to pay it...I don't think they can connect the vehicle to...me. If they could they'd put a hold on my student account.  But they're not the law.  Anyway.  I have 13 days to pay without a late fee.  If I do pay...
