So much past inside my present

Such a disappointing day! I had what was supposed to be my first class today, Literary Linguistics, and the professor never showed up. The whole class sat in the room for about 45 minutes, in awkward silence because it's the first day and no one knows each other, and then as one we all just got up and left. What's frustrating is that this week is add/drop week, and classes only meet once a week, so this was my only chance to find out if I want to keep the class or not. I think now I'll just drop it out of spite, but there's a chance that, when the prof actually shows up, it could be a really interesting class. I just don't think I want to take a class with an instructor who's too flaky to show up to his own class.

In keeping with the theme of the day, I tried to go to the library for my campus (which, conveniently, is 3 streets away from the actual campus) to print out my reading for my class tomorrow, and none of the printers worked. None. I asked a librarian about it and she said, "oh yeah, we've been having trouble with them for weeks." And no one has bothered to fix this? Buh! I was all excited about being a good, prepared student with my reading already printed, and now I have to be same ol' slacker unprepared Lily. I was trying to get rid of her. (I realize that this is where an actual responsible person would say, "why did you wait until the day before to go to the library?" and to that, I would like to point out that my professor waited until the night before that to even post the reading. So there.) Bother bother.

Oh my god. The doors in my building are SO LOUD. I swear to god, whenever someone even down the hall from me shuts a door it sounds (and feels) like a team of basketball players are all throwing balls at the wall at once (hehe, balls).

The day was not without its accomplishments; I finally bought a plate, a bowl, and, most importantly, a cheese grater. Now I can stop sneaking other people's stuff out of drawers, because apparently borrowing without asking is still stealing.

Well, I finally took some pictures - nothing spectacular, just my room and some things around my neighborhood - but I don't know how to post them on a blog. It's probably something really obvious that I'm just missing because what I do, but still. They're on facebook, but I wanted to post them for silly gooses (yeah, gooses) who got rid of facebook...

Anyway. Hopefully tomorrow's class, which is Studies in Travel Writing, in case you were wondering, will actually happen. I'll let y'all know how it goes.
