First day!

My classes this quarter are pretty sweet. First of all, they’re all taught by professors, as opposed to graduate students, which I see as a major plus, because professors are much better teachers than graduate students. Also, there are not that many first years in my classes, which is good because that would mean that I was stupid or behind in some way. The only bad thing is that I have a 9:30 am class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Fortunately, I know two people in the class so there’ll be someone I can study with.

I somehow met up with Bryant and Charles in a computer lab in the Reg (the main campus library), and we decided to cook dinner for ourselves. It was fantastic: French bread to dip into a mixture of sesame seed oil and olive oil, spaghetti with a shrimp sauce, and a bottle of wine. Much better than anything we would ever eat at Burton-Judson.

I forgot to mention – last night, we went to a free concert by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Millennium Park. They were amazing – they played one Mozart piece and four Ravel pieces. Did I mention that it was free?
