My day has just been made, look what FINALLY came in the mail!

*does a happy dance* IT'S SO COOL! *laughs* I know it's small and inconsequential but this on top of all the U2ness going on? HEEEEEEEEEEE!

*dancing*

So, presale is tomorrow, Megs and I're planning on NYC and NJ, André is going to NYC with us (possibly NJ), other people are coming to NYC, it's going to be The Great Meeting of the U2spazzes and EEEEEEEEEEEE! it's going to be ridiculous. we're all going to be flipping the fuck out and it's going to be GREAT. ^_____________^

ALSO in U2news.. THEY'RE PLAYING THE GRAMMYS THIS YEAR WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?! ..we were TOTALLY *not* expecting this, but Vertigo's up for three awards (HTDAAB was released too late in the year, and'll be in the running next year), so they'll be there! and playing! and EEEE! February 13. Greenday is also playing. It's going to be gooood..

Which reminds me, I need to get downloading again, three of us have heard *of* Kings of Leon, but no-one knows any songs, and unless I'm mis-remembering things, they're the opening act for the tour.

It's REALLY fucking cold.

Slept through my alarm this morning, as those of you who saw my frustrated away message this morning already know.. bah. So I wound up getting to class twenty minutes late, and as it was the first time that class'd met, everyone was filtering out the door as I got there. x_x; Luckily, the professor was still there, making suggestions on what external harddrives we should get for the class... (ehhhhh more money that needs spent?!)

On the bright side, when I woke up and thought I still had a TINY chance of catching the bus I'd meant to, I discovered that I can, in fact, be ready and out the door in five minutes in the morning. (Unshowered and looking like shit, but.. ^^; )

Classes so far are looking overall pretty fair.. I have familiar faces in a few, which is a very, very good thing for me. "Interactivity for the Web" is going to be THE coolest class ever, it's mostly people I know, the newest Media Arts prof., the one did the coolest VAP presentation with all the awesome projects (see his project site..beware loading time of DOOM!), and our first project is going to be making a website where we alter our identities. :D heeee.

"Sight, Sound, and Vision" is going to be.. well, at first I thought it was going to be very dry, but now I'm seeing that the professor is.. a bit odd. He seems like a stoner. *giggles* idek. Potential for it to be amusing, but so far he seems a bit scattered in his lectures, so we'll see. However, again there are people I know in
there, so it's all good. *g*

This "Introduction to Experimental Video"..scares the shit out of me. This's the class I was late to this morning, my advisor's teaching it.. But, y'know, it's *video*! I don't know *anything* about video, I'm so doomed. And for projects we're apparently taking equipment out from the Media stash, and.. and I'm really scared. But it *is* a 100-level, so it shouldn't be as bad as it sounds right now.

"Life Drawing" also scares me. Our prof actually wasn't in today, so someone who's in the second part of the course gave us a general run-down and passed around syllabi.. I've a terrible feeling my big package of charcoal is at home. >_<; But I've a ton of supplies to buy anyway.. and aaaaarg I need to buy another huuuuge sketchbook! the 24"x36" newsprint agaaaaain ehhhhhhhh! *pouts* We'd *better* have some place to stash them in that room, cos there's no way I can possibly lug that to and from campus and drag it around all day twice a week... But yeah, apparently the prof is really strict, and not always so gentle with his corrections on what we're doing and all. *whimpers* I know right now I'm going to get a LOT out of this class, but at the same time... I have a VERY, very fragile ego. This does not bode well for me. ^^; Also, there's a good deal of extra time that needs to be put into homework and things..meh.

My "Philosophy of Religion" class is only on Tuesdays, so won't know how that's going to go 'til tomorrow.. but Philosophy's usually a fair enough mental challenge, this's a 400-level so I'm a little scared, but it's Tuggy whom I've heard enough good things about that I think I'll be alright.

*reverently takes the U2.com membership keyring-thing out of its plastic* heeeeee... *________* So preeetty... and it's all metal! it's so cool. So shiny and pretty...and there's NO way this is getting put beside keys and things and subjected to the elements. *giggles* Lessee if it'll fit inside my little card-thing.. YAY! it does!!!

I feel unfathomably cool right now. Or maybe just really U2geeky. Either's a very, very good thing. ^_______________^
