From the trenches... first week of school

Right, so it's Wednesday night of the first week. Whew, feels like Friday of week 3 or something. Most of us have been going to a bazillion classes while shopping for that perfect schedule and, you know, sitting in lecture isn't as easy as you'd think. Then there's the little time in-between lectures - how does it evaporate so quickly? I guess I have to relearn how to actually be productive in time blocks less than 3 hours.

Unlike many of my classmates, however, I think I'm pretty settled by now. It's toughest on the first years - they don't know what many of the class names actually mean, let alone which professors to gravitate towards. I have a year left and I'm going to use it well - nothing to loose really. I'm taking Visualization (super cool with a nice touch of programming), Tangible Interfaces (never done artsy before), one of the Project Management classes (will try the second tomorrow), and do some work for the Law&Tech clinic (intellectual property research for a biotech group). And TA Web Architectures. Hm. That sounds like a lot, maybe I should actually start the readings now.
