Not much has happened so far today which is noteworthy. Have french class in about 15 minutes. I'll update as the day goes on :)

Just got back from french class, she started us on doing some new thing with Etre (how to speak of something in the past). And we have a test on that and avoir, but I think I'll do alright on it. I got a 91 on our first test. It's weird that the teacher seems to always assume I know what I'm doing in class. When we broke up into groups, she went around checking everyone and told me "you understand this, right?"..I replied "yes"...and she didn't even check my paper (we were suppose to be writing sentences, which I was ..more-or-less). While leaving class and heading back to my dorm there was this bus with a bunch of children (probably about the age of 5 or so) getting off. I wonder why they would be taking them on a field trip to the University campus....unless they are just super advanced and/or have pituitary problems. Anyways, back to studying! (going to be reading this book about how this scholarly woman did this experiment where she attempted to make a living off a low wage to see how difficult it was).

Busy studying, highlighting parts in the book for a paper I need to write, etc. What was annoying is that the person in the dorm near mine was playing drums; I put on my Remington noise-canceling ear muffs, but the noise still got through (was a little bit quieter however). Then later someone knocked on my door (I don't really know anyone that well on my floor due to being super busy and an introvert to boot), I just ignored it because I didn't feel like/have time for getting into a conversation, and I hate being asked to do things when I'm busy--which is typically always (people tire me out, so I need to spend time just being away from people to unwind/recharge between classes, etc).
The one thing I like about being busy is that it gives me less time to worry, and thus my anxiety is not as bad. Which is a good tip for anyone with anxiety problems--keep your mind busy on other things!
Anyways, back to work :)

After studying for awhile, I got some food. One thing I thought to pick up was some Greek Yogurt (I like the taste/texture much more than normal yogurt, and it is supposedly healthier). I have class at 6:30, so I should now take a nap. As I'm writing this now, that annoying kid from across the hall is playing his music (he blasts music and leaves his door open so everyone can hear it). Aren't some people precious. By the way, I suggest to anyone that has to do a lot of mental work (such as studying), take a lot of little catnaps (like 20-30 minutes long) throughout the day, it's very refreshing (clears up the brain-fog and fatigue like a charm) :)

Just got back from a class that goes from 6:30-8:45. Before heading back to my dorm I picked up a wrap from the dining hall. The class went well, I feel like I absorbed the information well and took good notes (the class is Sociology of Social Services). This teacher gives tough tests, and if you don't take notes very well and have a good memory, you get your ass kicked hard by them (plus they are about 30% of the final grade). This teacher is also my adviser, I signed up to be advised for class registration for next week at 6:00 PM, but I later changed it. What happened was that he mentioned that class would get moved back to 7:00 PM, so I thought that perhaps he wouldn't be able to make the appointment. I went up to him, and he automatically knew why and told me to change my time to 5:40 PM. I filled in the wrong date, and had to go back right after to fix it (woops, lol). All this information is probably only interesting to me :P
That's about it for now, just blogging (obviously) and eating my wrap.
