Excitement!
It's a little surreal, sitting here in a coffee shop on campus. I'm in school. I'm a functional unit requiring no additional media to make me go. I have internet access. Mwahahahaha!
I also have 45 mins until the second part of class begins. It's warm in here, which is why I came in, but I'm not going to buy more coffee as my two shots between 6:30 and 7:30 should be sufficient. It both amuses and bothers me that I have to wake up hella early to be on-time to class, but I arrived and parked on campus at about 7:30 and when I pulled out my cell phone to check the time it was 7:34 and I was about 2 mins from my class. Okay, so I sped on the highway, but that doesn't mean that taking the 7:10 instead of the 6:20 boat would be an all-ending horribleness. I think that after a week or so I might switch boats if class continues to happen those comforting five to ten minutes late. And if it doesn't keep happening late, then I'll just have to learn how to go to bed at 9 and wake up at 5:30 (to leave the house at 5:50, to get a reasonable place on the boat at 6:20, though a reasonable place on the boat is basically a waste of time and effort as I will arrive at school at least thirty minutes early anyway). But I did find a good place to drive-thru for coffee, and they make these Twister Mochas which are cocoa and white chocolate, at 16oz. for three dollars. Rockin.
It amuses me that the wireless on campus is all open. I wonder if WoW can be played on it or if it's a blocked program, like at SPSCC. No way to find out but to try!
Anyway, the test this morning was multiple choice (not that it mattered in the chemistry sections, which are really just math with an extra array of letters) and just 25 questions. They said that they expected to test to take about 40 mins, but that they were giving us 120, just to relieve any stress and freak-out-ness we might be experiencing. So I got the test at 8:40 and was done by 9:15. That's after finding a way around my calculators lack of obviousness in the area of logarithms. It has the natural log command, but I had to use 1x10^(x) all typed out. This made pH calculations difficult. It also made me thankful that it was a multiple choice test because I could use 1x10(x) and put in the answers for x until I found something that agreed with the numbers I already had.
I love science.
There was a sheet that we were given at the orientation thing last week, and one of the questions on it was "What is it like when you're at your best?" and my answer was "it's like gestalt, like speed, like life on fast-forward, and I wish it would never stop."
