god, i hate mornings

Now I remember why I wrote so infrequently last semester - CLASSES! Time just disappears sitting in CMs (cours magistraux, the equivalent of lectures) all day long. Luckily, I've taken a much calmer approach to the whole registration process this semester. I'm done worrying about credits or fulfilling requirements from back home, because there's no way of knowing how it will all calculate out in the end.

Today, I had class starting at 8am until 6pm (with two 2-hour breaks, thank goodness). I haven't been this tired in awhile -- probably because I haven't been to school in awhile. All in all, my courses are actually shaping up to be pretty interesting this semester:

Civilisation and Culture (XIX century): The notion of sublime in literature and painting
Media Cultures: The history and role of the media in France
Cinema
Introduction to Aesthetics/Art History/Regard
The construction of the European community

Tomorrow I'm sitting in on my first Italian class. I hope I haven't completely forgotten everything!
