Way too many ups and downs in one day.
First, I got up at 6am to get ready for my 8am class. Once I get there, I'm all set to take notes, a bit sleepy, but ready nonetheless. Class ends 5 minutes later -___- I could have skipped lecture and gotten up later!
Well, because it ended so fast, I had 2 hours to spare. Too long to stay on campus for, but too little time to head back to my room (would have to head back once I got there). I read a chapter in the Italian textbook, played some Persona, stared off into space, etc until it was time for Italian.
Italian was nice and uneventful.
Then, Spanish. I was dreading this class because I had read the syllabus the night before...but, it seems I was in luck. There was a last minute professor change, so now I have a slightly less strict professor. I knew most of the material being covered, I was a bit unfamiliar with some grammatical terms though. I asked the professor for help, and ended up getting lectured about the term, even though I understood after the first two examples he gave.
This being Santa Barbara and all, the weather just had to get all weird. It was starting to get sunny, and then, with the sun shining brightly, it started raining...this ruled out biking, so I decided to have lunch on campus and wait until Global 2. (by the time I got to the commons, it stopped raining, only to pick up again when I left; afterwards, the temperature went from slightly cold to blazing in a few minutes and changed about three times before it was time for class)
There were so many people crashing Global OTL I really hope I get a spot. I loved the professor's lecture style. He was hilarious and best of all, made everyone close their computers because, as he put it, "I know you're not taking notes. I'm sorry if you are, but if that's the case, using good old pen and paper won't kill you." We don't need to take notes anyway, since he apparently has already outlined the information in the reader we're supposed to get. He uses lecture to give examples, make connections and test our global knowledge/awareness.
