Recap: What's matter

First chemistry class after 4 years feel VERY strange. The class began with two TA setting two hydrogen-filled balloons afire. Yes explosion. Yes two large balls of flame. Grand entrance by the teacher who apparently likes very, very bad jokes. (I zoned out by the time he was telling something about why an elephant can't be on TV.)

I went inside our sci lab building for the first time today and it's NICE. As in, the floors are shiny and it looks rather modern for a science building. There's also a sort of lounge place on the first floor with a cafe (in SCIENCE LAB BUILDING!! Makes you wonder about the food...) and of course it's lovely and warm in there which makes it all the nicer, as far as I'm concerned.

Someone took the "Academics" posting board on our floor and wrote mock-assignments on it that looks like it's from calc mostly because it's followed by some of the really long integration formulas (for those of you who know what I'm talking about, these were the formulas that Mr. Ferrante told us we DIDN'T have to memorize that we worked by referencing them constantly from the back of the book, yes, THOSE ones, with u and A and B and C). I wonder what that's about. Also, two guys made name tags for themselves, mimicking the style of the nametags we have on each of our doors, and stuck them on the lounge. Because they don't live here, but they visit here very frequently. They can draw kites. I'm impressed. (I think the whole kite-theme is from having to read THE KITE RUNNER...the other halls didn't have these type of nametags.)

And I have another class at 10, so I'll get ready for that, shall I?
