Today was my second day of the new semester at my college. I was going to write a post about my first day (yesterday) last night, but I was just too tired. Yesterday was a good first day. I started a class on Music for Film, TV, and New Media which seems like it'll be cool, and I managed to submit a prerequisite challenge for Tonal Harmony II (I'm a music composition major) so I am able to go to that class until the challenge gets approved. I also made significant progress in Pokémon Go.

Today wasn't a very good day though. I missed my bus at 8:08am but I caught the next one and barely made it to class on time. The class was Musicianship Skills II (which is a co-requisite for Tonal Harmony II) and we did a pre-assessment to see what level we were at. The professor knew most of the people in the class because they had taken Musicianship Skills I with her the previous semester but I didn't so she didn't know me. Since I am doing a prerequisite challenge she gave me further assessment to see where I was at and she said my proficiency is between Musicianship Skills I and Musicianship Skills II. She recommended that I attend her Musicianship Skills I class (which is right before Musicianship Skills II) and maybe hang around during Musicianship Skills II until I get up-to-par to be in Musicianship Skills II. But Musicianship Skills I starts at 8am. I'd have to leave my house by 6:35am and get up at around 5:45am to go to that. And according to the outline of Musicianship Skills I they start learning about what I most need to work on at the end of the second week, and after two weeks is the add/drop deadline. So I will pretty much need to teach myself the skills I need within the next two weeks to actually be able to take Musicianship Skills II. Then I went to my math class and he already gave a lecture and assigned homework. I ate lunch and my mouth hurt for some reason. Then I worked really hard to put one of my Pokémon on a gym and then it got taken over and I STILL HAVE NO POKECOINS. Then I waited in the bookstore line for over an hour to buy two textbooks that cost almost $300 and I still need to buy/rent two more. Then I submitted my application to be a math tutor at The Learning Center and the head of the math department there said that she might not need any more math tutors but she'll let me know. (Which could be worse but also could be better.) But then I played a Pokémon battle simulator thing online with a friend between classes and that was the highlight of my day. ^^ And at least I think I might like my English class, although the classroom is tiny and cramped. And then the usual bus ride and walk home at like 9pm. XP
