C-1 -- First Day of Classes

Classes started yesterday at 9 AM. I got up at 7, read the Wall Street Journal, ate breakfast, jumped in the shower, and ended up four minutes early for class. Since most of the class was already there, I got a couple odd looks when I walked into Macroeconomics. The class was very interesting, and it looks like it will be challenging (read:difficult). Following Macro was College Writing I. CW looks like it will be interesting as well, especially since it is a "Introduction to New York" course, as noted by Prof. Campbell. Class wrapped up around 11:50, so then I went back the apartment for lunch.
In the afternoon, I went to get my ESB building pass ... ended up waiting for an hour as those who came in before their 2 PM Logic class flooded the office. After that, I worked on my Macro assignment - doing my "entry interview," ten questions answered in 100 words or less. After four years of King's, every student takes the same "interview." Apparently, it's a way to judge how well you learned.
Later in the evening, Chris Ross called to tell us about a party we and some other rooms were invited to attend. The party, held in Herald 3C5, ended up being two rooms of freshmen boys and Chris' room. Apparently, 3C5 is the "sister" room to Chris' room, and the girls wanted to adopt us as "little brother" rooms. They did feed us (banana pie!), and there was French press coffee, and we had a stimulating discussion about the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Then the discussion broke into smaller parts, and I talked to Emily and Matt for a while about the Founder's competition last February. Matt actually determined that there was five Founder's winners in our room at one time, which was intriguing.
Around 11, the conversation shifted to the sophomore level Plato & Aristotle class, so the remaining freshmen (Emily, David, and I) took our leave of the party. Quite enjoyable, overall. When we got back, we had another brief discussion with Zachary, who stopped by to say hello. I think I ended up in bed around 12:30.
