Oh, Starbucks. I asked only for a shot of peppermint in my hot chocolate, and not only did you give me my wish, but you added sprinkles! You truly know the way to my heart. I've almost forgiven you for temporarily depriving me of Tazoberry.

Anyway, it looks like it's going to be an interesting semester. I adore today's (and Thursday's) schedule: just two 1 1/2 hour classes, spaced four hours apart. And organized with times that make dining easy and convenient! I will be able to eat breakfast! Hurrah!

Math: Calculus. Blegh. But it looks like it will be nice and tolerable this semester, as my teacher is hilarious and insane. He's this big black guy that's SO EXCITED ABOUT HIS MATERIAL (he broke at least 6 pieces of chalk in a one hour period) and uses phrases like "Now let's kick this up a notch" talking about conic sections. And Jing and Karim are in my class with me, so that's always crazy fun. Yay math! Or something!

Visual Communications: He showed us several clips from student films, one of which involving ninjas (no, not that one. A different Penn student Ninja film). And he taught one of Jerry Seinfeld's best friends Communications when the two were first setting out on the Stand-Up Comedy circuit and showed them how they could improve their act. 'Nuff said.
