I start classes tomorrow... it's about time. I'm sick of sitting around. I've read large portions of my textbooks waiting for school to start. And naturally, the thing I haven't done is the thing I should have been doing all this time: reviewing Calculus. I'm taking Calc II, and I took AP Calc in high school, so it's been two years since I've done any math worth mentioning and I'm expected to go into this class knowing how to take derivatives and integrals and know an extensive amount about how to use derivatives. I know the concepts behind the material, and I'm sure I can figure most anything out if I have enough time to think about it, but I'm lacking the benefit of being able to do such things quickly and efficiently. Also, related rate problems = whaaaa?! in my brain right now. I guess I'll just wait until I get my syllabus and see what I need to do to get up to speed.

I actually had a dream last week that it was the Tuesday after school started and I was sitting in my chem class thinking about the day before when suddenly I realized that I had gone to my Monday morning class (British History) but then I had simply gone home and watched some TV show and I'd totally spaced my evening class, and thus I would have to wait until Thursday evening to get my syllabus, etc. It was crazy. I was freaking out over a syllabus! I think in real life I would be more concerned about having made a bad impression not showing up to class and possibly being behind on the first day. I think my brain just might have been trying to tell me something about being prepared for this class, but I'm not entirely sure.

I can't wait for British History!!! I'm a bit of an Anglophile and I have a friend who happens to be VERY jealous of my taking this class... I pulled a Hermione Granger and read a bunch of my textbook already... now I just need to convince myself that it's worth reading again, and having read it once is no excuse for not doing the assignments when they're assigned.

In other news, I've discovered the show Heroes!!!!! It's AMAZING and I love it!!!! At least... that's what I think of it in the first season. I just watched episode 21 (out of 23) and I'm DYING to see the rest! I'm going to leave it to tomorrow, though. I'll use it as my reward for going to my morning class ^_^

My Greek Harry Potter book arrived in the mail yesterday!!!!!!!! Ἀρειος Ποτερ καί ἠ τοῦ φιλοσοφου λιθος :-D I think yesterday was a nerd overload day for me, what with all the Heroes and its Star Trek references and adding a fourth book to my multilingual Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone collection!

Now it's time for a cup of tea and then I should really go to bed so I can get up in the morning. I really should have got a bus pass, as I'm dreading the parking situation tomorrow at school (downtown campus in a big-ish city... scary!!!) but I guess it's too late for that...

SO... Exactly ONE MONTH until the new season of Criminal Minds starts!!!!!! I can't wait!!!! I finished Season 5 at the beginning of July this year, so I've been trying to distract myself for the past six weeks. It's working, but... I'm growing concerned for my sanity.

Star Trek: I FINALLY saw the 2009 Star Trek movie!!!! I LOVE it! But I'm SUPER worried that I'll start watching TOS now and I won't be able to stop. I worry about ordering vintage fanzines and going to cons and turning into a Trekkie.

Glee: Fandom/obession isn't really a big issue here. I've grown VERY attached to this show, but fic and art and stuff... just not happening. It's not that kind of obsession in my mind. I just really love the characters, the music, the characters... oh, and did I mention the music? I hope I don't get sucked into fandom when it comes to this show...

Doctor Who/Torchwood: I've gotten several of my friends hooked on Doctor Who and/or Torchwood this summer. Of this I am quite proud. However, after watching all of the new Doctor Who again and all of Torchwood twice or more in the past three months, I don't want to say I've become bored so much as I'm simply curious to see what else is out there. I've begun watching some Fourth Doctor episodes, beginning with the E-Space Trilogy in Season 18, and I've discovered that I have a new favourite companion! I LOVE Adric! He's a genius and perhaps kind of insecure, but endearingly so. I think he's quite cute. And the more I try to find out about him, I keep discovering that most of Classic Who fandom hates him! Why? I have a hard time understanding this and I sort of don't want to go into detail about it. It's also kind of disappointing that Peter Davison's Doctor doesn't seem to have as much chemistry with Adric as Tom Baker's Doctor had (which is ironic, given Matthew Waterhouse's account of Baker's attitude on the set). I digress, though. My point is that in the wake of too much New Who and Torchwood, I'm finding that Classic Who is occupying all of my time and it's rather depressing that I've chosen an era in which my favorite character is one whom everybody seems to hate. I just want to give him a hug, because he's so cute and ingenious and under-appreciated.

Sherlock: I've recently heard about this BBC miniseries and I can't figure out where to FIND IT!!!!! WANT!!!!
