First Day of Class

Assalamu'alaikum....

Baru cuti sekejap, dah start kelas. Today is my first day of class, pretty interesting if somewhat packed. This is going to be a hard semester because all of my classes are project oriented (due to my very conscious desire of wanting an internship). This semester I'm taking:

SI 502: Choice and Learning
SI 503: Search and Retrieval
SI 622: Evaluation of Systems
SI 646: Information Economics
... and of course, one dance class (no, not Javanese Dance, unfortunately)

Taking a dance class each semester is so routine that even when I can't fit in the Javanese class in my schedule, the priority was finding something new. And fresh. Preferably a class with not a lot of guys in. Nope, not ballet again (ugh). I picked one, but I'm not telling till much later when I know I'll be sticking to it.

I love being here. So many things to learn, and even though I'm physically and mentally tired all the time, at least I know I'm making the most of my two years. I hope I just don't keel over in exhaustion in the next, owh, two weeks, let's say.

Here's a tip for CSI lovers: do NOT eat dinner, or anything, while watching the show. I was downing a plate of chicken l'orange (courtesy of Stouffer's) when the screen showed maggots.... lots and lots of maggots. A screen FULL of maggots. Crawling on a college boy's face. He FELL into a pit of maggots!! An he was alive... and opening his mouth. A maggot almost crawled into his piehole. Belurghhhhhh. Eww eww eww.... I hate maggots. College boys... not so much :).

After much debating and drooling, I finally got my iPod Video, a slim black thingamajig gadget worthy of infinate care, love and affection. I lovingly named it iPink, despite the fact that it's as black as night. I realize now that it's not that hard to name an Apple-made gadget. Just pick something and put the letter "i" in front of it. For instance, I could've named it "iBoogerinmynose" ... if I was a disgusting boy. Or iAmaskinnyblonde if I was Paris Hilton. You get my drift by now, I hope.

Okay, I have to go to sleep now because tomorrow is an early day. Toodles darlings!

Wassalam...
