2nd Day of Class

It was the same as the first. I just got to my computer moments ago (it's already midnight!) I am still trying to figure out exactly what I need to graduate. If all of my credit transfers smoothly, I just need to take 4 EECS classes I am signed up for now, 2 EECS classes next semester, and a final project in Japanese and Computer Science. It sounds pretty manageable on paper, but after browsing through my portfolio and trying to figure out what I still need something may have been lost. I am going to talk to undergraduate studies tomorrow about graduating.

My classes today looked pretty tough. Compilers is going to be a really hard course, Computer Logic Design is going to be really easy, and the senior capstone course (which I am unsure if it is required at this point.)

During lunch I found out that my ID card isn't working for money transactions. Apparently it has been happening to all the abroad students. I had to pay cash for my subway. Hopefully I can get that fixed soon too.

After class I went to Thwing with Claire, Michelle, and Hiro to the poster fair. I didn't feel like spending the money so I just browsed. Hiro tried to buy a foil poster of the world but Claire and Michelle insisted on paying for it. Hiro is 20 today. They convinced the cashier to not accept Hiro's cash and were successful at buying the poster as a birthday gift. We then headed to the party.

Yoshimoto and Michiyo came to visit everyone today! We had a dinner party in the Hvorka Atrium that was really fancy. Everyone that had any relation to the program came if they could. There was lots of free food and free drinks. Yay for being 21! I got to drink plenty of wine and beer on the schools tab. ^_^

Once back at my dorm I had to show everyone my rabbit. He is getting pretty used to people now and let everyone pet him. We then went downstairs to see Jack's hamster. It was so cute! Finally, before getting to my shower I got to meet my roomates for the first time, Mike and Lin. Mike is a senior Electrical Engineering student who is one of the head members of the fencing club. Lin is a junior Business student who loves to play sports. They both seem pretty nice and they are both really quiet at home so I'm not complaining. Looks like it will be a good year with them.
