First day of class and here I go, running into glitches again.
Two of my classes that I registered for turned out to need pre-requisite classes, which I didn't know because I was registering from a pdf catalogue with a 16 hour time difference and an 104F fever at the time, so I learned something there. It never occured to me to check up on the classes during PASS2, so now I have to drop the two classes, which would be easy, and add two more, which would be not, primarily because the system keep asking me for PTA codes, which turned out to be Permission To Add codes for the class, which I don't have and don't know where to get.
That was a heck of an run-on sentence, wasn't it?
Aside from that though (if you can put aside the fact that I only have four classes and two of them aren't working out), the first day was great. I'll need to see an academic advisor this afternoon, but I have successfully completed my quest for my IS (Intergrated Study) reader, which involved a trip through the downtown by foot. I've located a US post office between street C and D (I think), so, for the future reference of anyone else at/will be at Davis....
Highlight of my day involved reading this interpretation of the BOOK OF RELEVATIONS in which President Putin from Russian is named the antichrist (in the light of GOOD OMENS, he's just not Adam, he can't be), and trying this orange/banana/strawberry juice from the DC (dining commons, and yeah it tasted better than it sounded).
Here we go 'round the mulberry bush
Snap go the dragons.
Snap.
[edit 14:35]
Thanks to my RA (resident advisor, and yes I'll keep dumping on the abbreviations for you non-Davis people), I now have a workable schedule! Have dropped plant physiology and o-chem and is taking orchard/gardening and general psychology instead. (Hey, I'm a freshman, my classes don't have to be closely related.) I'm giving up on basic physics and chemistry until I get my registration priority this winter, and I'll go ahead and schlep (my new word of the day) down to the advisors in 22 minutes and see that I haven't messed anything else up, just in case.
Happy first day, everyone.

Ouch, sorry about the classes mix-up. I'd probably go seriously berserk in your place.
My first day was pretty good. Though I was almost falling asleep during a fascinating presentation about the Dopler effect. It wasn't the lectures fault, it was getting 5hrs less sleep than I was used to :P
also, read yesterday's song/poem thing today in your journal. it's a bit different from your usual style, but it was very good. would make a good song too. a rock song.
