B Term

So, B term has started, with all the ensuing craziness of new classes. Calculus 2 looks like it may be pretty good, even if it's at 8 am. The professor is friendly and funny, even if he looks young enough that I thought he was a TA when he first walked in and started passing the syllabus out. Suspect some of his little quirks or quotes or tangents will end up being appropriated for Isaac. Literature of Sin looks good so far - same professor as my Shakespeare class, but a much better class - the in-class discussion doesn't want make me want to bang my head against the desk repeatedly, although we're reading Titus Andronicus first, which I'm having trouble getting through. Object-Oriented Design Concepts (it's a Java class, really)...I'm not sure yet. Apparently the class is supposed to be really hard, but we haven't done enough to tell yet. The professor has a great sense of humor, though.

MIT apps for Early Action have to be mailed by Tuesday...mine is mostly done, but I'm kind of on edge anyway. Which may be part of the reason I've had about five hours of sleep each night this week x.x Random HP fic rec of the moment - Cartographer's Craft. Set post-HBP, blends seamlessly with canon in the best way possible. I've spent my free time the last few days reading it, including several hours this morning in a nice, quiet, warm computer lab Michelle and I found on the second floor of the library.

And now, a poll for the readers! I'm waffling on a Halloween costume this year, mostly because I didn't have the time or energy to do something big and new. So - I've got professor robes!Lupin, which is always fun, and probably warm enough with something underneath, although I still don't have a stuffed wolf to go with it, or I can make a totally ghetto Virgil outfit and cary around my hardcover copy of a translation of the Aeneid. Thoughts, particularly from anyone I'm likely to be hanging out with?
