I really held on to the three days before today. Friday night was Lazy Moon and bowling with a bunch of great friends from engineering. Saturday was a fiber arts meetup and then Mass. Sunday was an overall chill out and clean day.
I have to mention the fiber arts meetup in particular since I am usually incredibly nervous before going somewhere where I know no one! The ladies were very welcoming and I found that there are a couple groups closer to me (as the meetup was off of Conroy). Additionally, they were able to recommend a few suggestions to repair my spinning wheel. I'm thinking finding a leather shoelace will be my best bet - it sounds the least expensive and will be easy to cut and tie. After 14 years, I am going to finally have a working wheel and will use it!
Today was the famed first day of school.
Ran errands this morning, mostly for the thesis, then saw about everyone from my department before heading to lunch. It was nice to have a relaxed lunch, not one in which I was rushing from a class to lunch then back to another. I also saw a friend from swing who I hadn't seen in some time.
Heat Transfer came first. That particular class is taught by a professor who does time both at our optics institute and the mechanical engineering department. I'm looking forward to his perspective - particularly since he described heat transfer as being "thermodynamics + math". Sounds good to me.
Vibrations was next, a class I am not sure of quite yet. It involves dynamics, which I got a B in, but I am going to have to really work on that one. At least I have had the professor before, so I know his style.
For now it is dinner time and then to reading - I've made an excellent skillet of chicken with black beans, corn and salsa, and have some rice on the side. If this first day is any indication of the rest of the semester, it will go well.
