second week of classes

This is the second week of classes. Yesterday I sent my email to Lauren regarding my activities last week. I still haven't heard from her. I wonder how long I should wait for her response. I hope that this is not a sign of my impending doom. I did apologise profusely. Maybe that will appease her anger.

I feel like I should be working more on my classes. First off, I've only bought one textbook for my three classes. My philosophy of science class doesn't have a text, and I just can't be bothered to buy the books for my other classes since I can get them in the library. I should probably invest in a book for my physiology class. I'm in a stage that doesn't really want to do anything. I go to lectures and attempt to take notes when the lecturer isn't talking too fast and half understand most of the things that are brought up in class. I am just too lazy to read the textbooks because there are no assigned or really suggested reading in the textbooks. You are expected to just find your own way.



My current read is historical, Six Wives: The Queens of Henry VIII by David Starkey. This is one of my favourite historical periods because there is so much drama that a television show can be made of it (The Tudors). Honestly, this time period is like a soap opera, but in real life. I can't wait for Cate Blanchett's new Elizabeth I film this winter. Despite my enthusiasm, I've barely made a dent in this book and I am still waiting for Catherine of Aragon to marry Arthur. I just haven't had time to curl up with it.


Now I just need to get the time this weekend to go see Keira Knightly and James McAvoy in Atonement. The reviews out here were great when it came out a couple of weeks ago and I finished reading the book about that time. I think I need a good downer to get my butt in gear.

I'll be missing Rotation which probably won't be a huge deal. Hopefully I can depend on Lloyd to make the right decision this year. Don't be lame like last year's frosh. Please...
