My first two CS classes are taught by this Russian guy, Boris, who was on sabbatical last year, and the third is taught by a new guy, so I have all new CS profs. Boris will be pretty tough, I think, because he offers extra credit. That seems like a sign people need extra credit. The new guy is all young and energetic and is teaching the grand finale CS class. I think his youth will make it tougher maybe, but maybe not. He started by saying the class is tons of work, but that it’s ok because that class is tons of work for all CS majors throughout the country. Not very comforting. I’m trying to sign up to work on his research projects he starting up, cause I do that sort of thing.
Ballroom Dancing is about as expected. Barely a male shortage though, we’re about even. We did some beginner stuff. I’m not very good at the swinging under the arm thing. I’m not really very good at the whole leading thing. Too much responsibility. When we switch partners, us guys are supposed to lead the girls to some other guy and do a swap. How come obvious sexism is ok sometimes? Whatever. I think I will never be a great dancer, because I’m not very enthusiastic. I’m supposed to move and smeg, more than the minimum, which is really counter to my nature. We’ll find out I guess. I reserve the right to bail on the class if I get too busy, though.
First physics class is tomorrow. I also reserve the right to bail on it if I get too busy.
The internet is too slow.
