and now I have a cold...

I have a sore throat and runny nose. I feel a little like crap. Not too bad. L. says it might be because I'm not bundling up too much when I go for a jog. She's probably right. I also think that I caught it from my Mom. She had a cold, and I kissed her good-bye when they dropped me off. So much for love. Gosh, I can't stop movie-quoting. "So much for love" was from Narnia, incidentally.

Classes are going well. Our karate sensei is really cool! His father invented the form of karate that he's going to teach us. I really like him. He's like a wise, old man from all those martial arts films--"I can't teach you how to climb up the walls though". Hilarious. Philosophy teacher is cool as well. A tad bit boring, but I think I can get into it.

My two French classes are okay. I'm waitlisted in both of them. I have to take a placement test to see if I'm right for the class. I'm okay for the lower one, 205. Not so much for the other one. But I really want to get in it!! C. (from club Francophone) is in that class and he told me to be persistent. I will try my best to take the placement test again and to score higher.

The cinema class I had today was pretty cool--intro to cinema studies. We watched a documentary on the making of Apocalypse Now. It was really interesting. I've only seen parts of that film, but I really should see it all. This cute guy sat two seats away from me. He chose that seat. It seems that I'm always interested in the fact that they choose where to sit. And then this guy comes and sits between us. Not cool. I went to the restroom, and then the guy sitting between us was gone! Sweet! There was an empty seat between us for the whole film. He had black hair and wore jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt. He's enrolled in the class, and I hope he's not dropping it.

I can't believe how fast time goes by. I feel like I graduated yesterday. But I have a year and a half of college under my belt, and it went by so fast. Do we ever really change? I feel like I'm the same kid from grade school. But in a little less than 7 months I'll be twenty. No more of those "-teen" endings. It's so weird! L. will be 20 in less than a fortnight. I still have to get her gift...
