First Day of Grad School.

God, I am up at this unholy hour... *falls over* Didn't get much sleep last night because I worried about sleeping through my alarm, but I am awake and wearing clothes and not-yet-in-make-up... I've got about an hour and a half before I have to leave for class, so I'm trying not to panic. My Historian's Craft and French classes are today, and I'm looking forward to them. I haven't taken French since high school, but when I visited Paris a few years ago I did all right speaking it... just not understanding it. XD The Graduate Studies department here doesn't recognize my 3+ years of Japanese classes as a foreign language requirement, so I have to start all over from scratch.

Also, I just realized that I haven't been assigned a new academic advisor. They still list my Undergraduate advisor who has since retired. That does me no good, so new advisor time!

... And I'm not really looking forward to the nightmare that will be the bookstore this afternoon, but since my classes let out sorta early maybe it won't be too bad.

It was a fairly good day. The French-born grad student teaching my French class was very miffed that none of us had the French textbook yet. We all almost said in unison, "We just got our financial aid today." The textbook with its online code to do homework (they won't buy workbooks anymore) was $190. It's my most expensive book this semester, but I'm going to be using it and the code it comes with for the next three French classes too, so I guess it's worth it. XD

That's pretty good if you can at least use it for multiple classes. Textbook prices have become really outrageous, and I can assure you the money is *not* going in the authors' pockets.
