class started on monday

and i'm taking "genetics and society"
which i should have realized before would be boring, but i didnt.

IT'S SO BORING.

i sit there for two hours while an elderly woman (she's kinda silly, but mostly serious) talks to us about things i have already learned at least four times.
yes, humans have 24 chromosomes!
yes, cells are surrounded by membranes!
yes, DNA is double stranded (except in some viruses)!
argh.

this means, hopefully, that i will get an A in the course. but usually the classes that are easiest to me i take less seriously and therefore do poorly. but this time will be different~! i may complain and think it is simple, but i will actually read my textbook (which is Genetics for Dummies btw. that tells you the level of understanding we are expected to have of genetics by the end of the course...) and actually pay attention in class and actually take notes and actually do the problem sets etc.

my other class is all online, which is kind of a bad idea for me because i lose interest and get distracted... plus reading math textbooks is difficult.

in other news, i now have a mattress and can sleep in my own room.
i haven't eaten out ONCE since i've been here, which i am proud of, but that's probably going to change tonight.
i also finally got a parking permit. i should go check on my car later today to make sure i did it right and dont have like twenty tickets piled on my windshield. ergh that would SUCK.

and on one last unrelated note,
last night i slept for almost 12 hours. ktfo indeed.
