I'm crazy for crying; I'm crazy for trying

So, the first day of school. It was actually pretty cool. My first class is at 8 am, which means I have to get an early start.

Yeah. That worked well. I woke up at... 7:30? Something like that. I got my ass out the door, though, and got there in record time. I was a minute or two late to class (Intro to Philosophy), and walked in as he was calling roll. Nothing notable in that class. After that, um... Assembly Language. I'm actually looking forward to that class, because we're going to be digging deeper into how computers work. We've all heard the "well, there's a bunch of 1's and 0's, and they represent stuff", but *how* do they do that? The teacher is... European. Not sure where - I'm terrible at deducing accents and speech styles. But I really like the way he talks, and oddly accents and pronounces certain syllables. After Assembly Language, I have Chem I. The professor is Mr. Jim McVey, who's really cool. Kind wacko. That'll be a *really* easy class. Immediately after that (yeah, four hours of four back to back classes), I have Probability. When the teacher (God, Lilie's being a sarcastic bitch. Normally, that's a great quality...) came in, I thought he was a grumpy old guy.

Nope.

He's a crazy (notice a recurring theme here? You will.) Scottish guy. I mean, really Scottish. I keep expecting him to yell "Freedom!!!" and throw a sword. Or something.

I was smart this semester, and gave myself a two hour break from noon - two to play DDR. Last semester, I only had half an hour, and frequently skipped CS as a result. Now, I just walk into my next class very tired and sweaty. As usual, there was a crowd watching. Well, a few people. When I got there, there were a few regulars playing (I still don't know any of their names.) I hate showing people up, but it's getting harder and harder not to. Arrogant? Probably. But I'm tired of holding back, of pretending I'm not as good as I am, or being afraid to admit it. So I ripped two of them apart. Not really. Sort of. You would have had to have been there to understand.

But the important part (well, one of them) is that some people saw. After all, it's right next to the cafeteria, and there's a lot of people walking through that area.

Anyway. I'm an attention whore.

So.

So, then was Data Structures. This is an interesting class. I've taken the majority of it in Java already (again, Java >> C++), so a lot of it is review. It's interesting that OOP is such an awkward topic in C++, whereas in Java, you can't do ANYTHING without having to deal with classes and objects. The professor is a crazy old Asian guy. He's supposed to be really challenging, which means this is going to be a fun class.

So, that was the first day of school. I'll have some pictures of my teachers and stuff up soon. I'm actually writing this over at Lilie's, as I write my character backstory on the Autumn Weave forums.
