10:16a:
Oh. My. God. I have a new reason to hate Mondays. I just got through two back-to-back classes. @__@
Anyway, here's some of what I had today. One weekend I will walk around campus with my camera and show y'all what I walk every day. :/
Monday morning:
-6:45a: wake up and get ready
-7:25a: pack bag and walk down hall to wake Stephanie
-7:32a: walk with Stephanie to breakfast in Rathbone
-7:53a: leave Rathbone and head down to Chandler-Ullmann 230 for first class (Calculus 021)
-8:10a: start of Calculus lecture. Maybe Professor He isn't that good of a teacher, but I admire him because he is honestly passionate about math. He always talks with a smile on his face even though we can hardly understand when he says "logarithm" or "theta" ("noggrithmmm" or "shayta"). He jumps around a bit and he doesn't entirely explain why or how he got his values, but when asked, he is willing to stop for a moment to try and help.
-9:00a: theoretical end of Calculus lecture. Sometimes he goes over :/
-9:10a: time for Physics in Lewis Lab 270. Gotta power-walk it there. Professor Licini (he says is pronounced like "listen-to-me", which unfortunately we all will have to do as he says) is pretty cool. Today he had a lounge chair and a towel in the front and said that he didn't know about us, but his mind is still on vacation - he's sitting in his lounge chair at the Jersey Shore x). He's a nice professor and jokes around sometimes. He's open to questions and doesn't seem bothered by the fact that most of us are asleep and not exactly in the best of moods. Whenever talking about topics, he tries to have relevant examples or displays for us, like throwing a wad of paper in the air, or this weird contraption he had today that showed that though a ball dropped straight down and a ball propelled off an edge have different x-directions (side-to-side motions), their y-direction, acceleration, and magnitude are the same (they land at the same time).
-10:00a: End of Physics 011 lecture.
-10:10a: somehow made it back up to Emery Room 315
-10:16a: started to type this
-10:26a: still typing this
-at 10:48a: will leave Emery 315 to head down to GC Practicum in Rauch.
Because I have not had any of my other classes, I will end this for now. When I come back, I'll discuss how the other half of my four day-classes went and growl about my late-night lab. :(
Until then,

Returning to the events of my classes today.
10:45a: packed my things and left the dorm
10:46a: left the building and realized that I had left my swipe-card in my jacket pocket - which was in my room
10:52a: got lost but made it to Rauch for Practicum
11:10a: Practicum started. It wasn't a very...practical thing we learned as I had guessed. It was more like "what is China's economic system like right now?" :/ Maybe we'll learn more about our trip later...?
12:02p: lecture finished and left Rauch to head to Packard for Introduction to Engineering Practices.
12:10p: Intro to Eng Practices started. Nothing really to report, other than I love this professor. He is awesome. He's like a British Tokes :D
1:10p: lecture finished and got lost in mob of students leaving the auditorium
1:25p: returned to room to do some online Physics work
2:35p: Took a shower
3:09p: typing this
at 3:30p: I will go down to have dinner/lunch at Rathbone, then come back up to the room and do some of my homework stuff
at 6:50p: I will leave the dorm to go down to my Physics lab in Lewis Lab 220
at ~10:00p: I will leave the lab and either catch a TRACS bus up or call for security escort :/
at ~10:15p: I will return to my room (finally)
And that is my day.
