Well That Didn't Work

THE SORE MUSCLES ARE TOTALLY WORTH IT
Today was a few steps down from yesterday. Well, not so much the day as the classes. At 8:30 (bleh,) I had a class called "Reflections of American Society on Stage and Screen." Its a Gen. Ed. (AU has a general education program to encourage students to open their eyes to subjects they've never be exposed to before by forcing them to take 30 credits worth of classes as chosen by the student from a selection that one could hardly call substantial) and thus, promises to be a waste of my time. I love American history, especially American social history, but, unfortunately, the subject of the course is not what the course title suggests that it is.

My only other class was today was a course called "Individual Freedom vs. Authority," a political thought class that I have no desire to take whatsoever. To make things worse, the professor is a patronizing, arrogant ass. I hear he does it to weed out students he feels shouldn't be in his class; apparently, he likes small classes. I have no choice in the matter though; I absolutely have to take the course.

Normally, on Tuesdays, after Individual Freedom vs. Authority, I have a physics lab, but the professor decided it would be best not to hold such a meeting this week as people are still adding and dropping courses.

The day did get better though - much, much better. Over winter break, I received a message via The Facebook from this guy named Nicolas, well, "Nick" now. He said he'd seen in my profile that I like climbing and kayaking and informed me that he was always looking for new climbing/kayaking buddies. "If you're interested," he said, "send me an IM sometime." I was, of course, interested and spoke to him online a number of times before winter recess ended. He seemed nice enough, our topics of conversation ranged from NHL Hockey to AU and everything in between. At some point, he mentioned that he and two of his friends were planning on going climbing today and invited me to join them. Having never met him, I suggested he stop by my building while I was at the desk before saying yes. He checked out fine, lol, so I went climbing with him this afternoon. God, it was so much fun! I hadn't gone (real) rock climbing in years; I didn't realize how much I'd missed it. Nick and his friends invited me to go with them again on Friday, weather permitting. Yay! New friends and a fun way to exercise.

Every muscle in my body is sore, including muscles I didn't know I had, so I'm gonna go lie down. C'ya'll.
