so after a nice, yet cold, week spent in chicago, i am back in philadelphia and classes have started. i had a little visit from bryant last friday, and then bryanK drove down from milwaukee on sunday for a day of walking around the city. ps, we had breakfast at ann sather that morning (famous for their cinnamon rolls), and can i just say that it was quite possibly the most tasty, rich and artery-clogging meal i've had in, well, ever.
anyway, flew into town on tuesday afternoon where i commenced unpacking and setting up the speakers that theodore had bought me for christmas (they are fantastic, i actually have bass now). dinnered with liz and jared at roosevelt's, then i went over to aj's to help set up for his little mongolian cocktail bbq party. it consisted of cleaning and chopping up a lot of fruit, and aj provided some crazy liquors as well as an amazing menu of cocktails for some do-it-yourself deliciousness.
wednesday commenced the classes, which also means i've started going to the gym and running again. since being back, i've had lunch with domi at copa's (their chicken burger w/ jerk spices and mango chutney is quite good) and dinner with nico, bryanK and andrewM over in chinatown (shaved noodle, of course). still have a lot of catching up to do with ppl, i have coffee dates and happy hours galore to attend. also!, the 700 arch grads that were in london last semester are back, so that's awfully exciting.
other than my senior design project i am taking: econ001 (microeconomics), chem101 (general chemistry), chem053 (chemistry lab), psyc111 (perception), cis112 (networked life). HA. all the req's i should have taken care of my freshman year but kept putting off. last semester was similar, with the freshmen writing seminar and everything, but still more interesting than this semester. but! i did get an A- in cis462 (computer animation algorithms & techniques), of which i am very proud (considering i've never gotten anything above a B in a comp sci course before..). the chemistry classes look like they will be a pain; econ seems okay (and i got a 5 on the microecon AP in high school so.. shouldn't be too bad, right?); the psyc class seems like an extension of the neuroscience class i took last year (but slightly less involved with biology); and networked life actually seems like it's going to be a good and interesting course. really, i'm just worried about getting my senior design project done.
