I went and had dinner with two Johnnies tonight, as well as a group of their friends, and it was very nice. They were mostly from a lab that I think is called the Comparative Media Lab, and in reality I think they're mainly studying video games. Hearing their talk made me think I picked the wrong field. They spend lab time playing video games, watching movies, and reading comics, and then doing studies on their impacts on society. It seems there's a lab for most anything here.
Creating lists and things of that nature to manage my time seems silly right now. I know what I need to do--basically, complete my next assignment--so I'm trying to adapt my system to the situation that I'm in. Plus, the reviews and evaluations take tons of time, and it's not as if there's that much room for creative decision making here.
My room is starting to come together. I wish I could have had a week to work on just this aspect of moving in. Tomorrow is registration, and after that, things will be insane, so I hope that I don't still have boxes sitting around my room in November.
