First day of classes (take 2)...

Today I did things right...but often times it seems like some unknown divine force is trying to hinder me from reaching my goals...

A rainy, wet, Wednesday morning...

I woke up early and got ready for the 9:30 biology lecture...
I couldn't find my fucking ID...I looked for it for a half hour...
The NYU ID is probably the most valuable thing...it's my library card, my meal card, and it gives me access to all the buildings...
In the process of looking for it, I crush my little toe on my left foot...the damn NYU chairs rock back and forth...serving no purpose whatsoever...besides helping poor students fall backwards and crush their toes...
At this point I was running late and decide to fuck it all and go straight to class...
I tell the guard my story and offer to leave my driver's license as collateral...
The security guard was extremely cool about it and told me not to worry about it and let me through...

I was 3 minutes early and the lecture hall is completely filled up...there are people sitting in the aisles...
There are 300-400 people in my bio class, including Roy my RA...
The professor reminded me of Ben Stein from Ferris Bueller's Day Off...

Rumors have it that the band playing at the Mystery Concert is Coldplay... But the RA says it highly unlikely.... It is probably going to be indie-rockers, The Shins... But I've heard that it might be 2 bands... I'll only know for sure tomorrow...

I had "Writing the Essay" at Bobst library...
The "classroom" was a closet...a claustrophobe's nightmare...
Someone mentioned how the library is very depressing, and they made us read this morbid poem about "children's blood in the streets"...
"No wonder people are throwing themselves off buildings..."
The instructor is pretty cool, she's all professional and stuff...she kinda reminded me of my 7th grade English teacher in some way....
I have to write 1 page, describing a piece of art...
I think I'll do the cover of "Abbey Road" since I'm staring right at it at the moment...

Conversations of the West: Antiquity in the Renaissance...
The professor seems kinda cool...
But the workload is scary....
Every text we read, we have to write a response paper...
Tons of reading, writing...
How will I survive?

Reading the Hebrew bible...reading Genesis...
Up to the part where Noah gets drunk, naked, and enslaves his grandson...

Dorm firedrill was horrible...
Especially sucked cause I was in the bathroom at the time...
The fire alarm are fucking loud...loud enough to wake the dead...several times...
Exactly like the one from high school, crickets from outer space...
Except...it isn't CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP....it's one continuous, long, fucking CHIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPP!!!!
Everyone waiting in the streets for 20 minutes...
Mad rush back into the building...some people forget their ID and couldn't come back in...that sucks...
When there's a real firedrill no one's gonna be like "wait, I gotta get my ID and keys..."
SHHH! This is a firedrill...shhhhh....be quiet....shhhhh....
Firedrills are pointless because they do not truly simulate an actual fire emergency....

Cause you're my golden opportunity ..."
