I've joined the legion of New Yorkers who walk around with that ubiqiutous white wire running out of their pocket and into their ears, walking around bobbing their heads, and grinning.
Yes, I finally got an iPod. It even has my name and e-mail address engraved on the back. Woo! I've already pretty much filled it up (it's a 20gb) and am now erasing some stuff I'll probably never listen to while replacing the stuff I listen to often with version encoded at a higher bitrate (256kbps). It's fun walking around and listening to music while looking at people. It's quite strange just how much different types of music can make seemingly ordinary events and actions seem really sad, happy, or angry. Being a film student, the idea is nothing new but it's fun to actually experience it in the real world.
I mostly walk around listening to The Arcade Fire who are just simply amazing. Just like I like I jumped on the iPod bandwagon I'm also jumping on The Arcade Fire bandwagon with no reservations. They're awesome.
Work is going pretty well so far. My days there seems to go by really really fast. My boss is really cool and the dining hall food is quite delicious.
I spilled apple juice on my computer freshmen year and since then my touchpad on my laptop didn't work. This morning, I woke up and found that it was working. It had magically fixed itself. I don't know what happened but it's kind of creeping me out while also being very cool.
I just registered for classes. Here is my schedule for next semester.

Tuesdays-
20th Century Korean Literature in Translation - 2:00 - 3:15pm
Arts in China 3:30 - 4:45pm
Wednesday - No class

20th Century Korean Literature in Translation - 2:00 - 3:15pm
Arts in China 3:30 - 4:45pm
Friday - No class
I'm on the waiting list for History on Photography but there are 21 people ahead of me. If I do somehow get in, I will be dropping the Chinese art class.
My schedule is weird and Mondays and Thursdays are going to suck but I think it'll be good to have two full days off so that I can work on those days. My boss at Pfizer said that he'd like to keep me onboard next year and that he just needs to approve it with his bosses. If I could keep this job for longer than just through the end of this year that would be great. It's fun, not difficult, and pays well. Plus, I get free bottled water!
