Entry 20--AKA: "Student: day 2"

It's the second day of class, which is kind of weird because it's a Monday and it's strange that class begins on Friday. Anyway, second day, and so far so good. I actually got up the nerve to raise my hand in two of my classes, even though both times I felt nauseous afterward from fright. Actually, the first time was much easier than the first. The instructor in my first class seems a little more approachable than my second, but I think it may just his demeanor.

The second time, as a matter of fact, I was borderline panic-attack by the time I finished my sentence. It was all in my head, though, because my instructor liked what I had to say. I wish I could remember what it was.

I bought all my books today. $134 for fourteen books--I count that as a win. That is one perk to being an English major: the books are cheap because it's all novels.

I also got the nerve up to go and talk to the philosophy adviser about declaring myself a philosophy major and also asked him about the logic minor. Turns out, my instructor for symbolic logic at ARC teaches here in the summer and the adviser said that if I did well in his class I should do fine in the upper division class. That made me feel pretty good since I got an A in symbolic logic.

I guess that's it. I really brought my computer so I could check my email but since I have none, I'm going to go back to reading, since I have tons to read before Wednesday.

Thanks for reading.
