Happy birthday,

thistlerose! It may not be your birthday anymore where you are, but it's still the 17th here, at least. :p I hope you had a lovely day.

In other news, back at school. Not only was my plane on time (unlike when I came home for winter break, when it was a two hour delay), but it landed twenty minutes early. I hate flying, so this made me happy. I also did not get queasy at all (except during take-off and landing, but I always do), so that was great. It might be because I was watching The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit on my iPod, and I love those episodes. I didn't get to finish TSP because we landed early, but under the circumstances I wasn't going to complain, and though I didn't get to "I believe in her", I did get as far as "Oh, she knows" and "He said your name", so that was nice.

Now I'm very sleepy, which is ridiculous because I've had caffeine and I didn't even cross any time zones, so I have no idea why traveling makes me so tired. Eh.

Have gotten some preliminary emails from a couple teachers this semester, and for my Presidency and Congress class, watching the Inauguration is an assignment. :p Of course I would have done it anyway, but I am so excited about this class. A class about how Congress and the President work together, during the first 100 days of a new administration--how utterly awesome is that?

So yes. I am sad that there's no more vacation (and already I mourn not having my own room--I am so glad I'm going to be a senior next year so I won't have any trouble getting into the suite-style dorms when it's time to sign up for next year's housing), but I'm really looking forward to my classes.
