First day of classes. Don't you just love them?

It started off with a bang when someone in the administration left a note on my first period class door telling my class to go to another room. One which already had a class in there. Oh, and whoever they were, they didn't tell either of the teachers. Sometimes, one is confronted with the possiblity that the administration is composed of people who got promoted to keep them out of the way.

I took a look at my schedule. My back is going to be killing me on Monday and Friday when I have Latin, Physics, and Organic Chem right after each other with no time to stop by my room and change books. And something got move or switched around with my labs, because Physics and Chem overlap.

On the plus side, our teacher in Chem told us that the entire course was going to be conceptual, with little in the way of calculations. I just barely restrained myself from bouncing up and down in pure joy. I can do concepts like no tommorrow, but calculations inevitably foul me up.

Oh, and I finally figured out why I wasn't getting half of the livejournal comments e-mailed to me. My school has a junk-mail folder, only you don't see it with IE, which is what my parents use at home.

And this meme has been popping up on my flist. Sadly, I've been unable to think up any good top five questions to ask people, but I'm hoping you guys are better at it than me:

Leave a comment to me proposing a topic. I'll make a new post where I give my top five answers to it.

I should always be friends with geeks. They do things like lend me Serenity.

I have Serenity! In my room! Waiting to be watched on the dvd-player that comes with the tv my aunt bought me! *is far too hyper about finally getting to see this movie*

*flails*

I'm going to watch it tomorrow afternoon, after I get through with physics.

Also, celtic_sky actually gave me topics for the five things lists.

Therefore, we have:

Top Five Moments Elizabeth Weir Rocks
(I'll have you know, it was very hard narrowing it down to only five.)
1. All of "Before I Sleep". Seriously, how can you not love Elizabeth after that episode?
2. When she cries as she's making the videos for the families of the people who have died in "Letters from Pegasus". That scene just hit me so hard, because she cares so much for everybody on this mission.
3. In "Condemned", when she pretty much slaps the corrupt leader in the face with just her tone of voice? Oh yeah, Elizabeth Weir can prod buttock without needing a gun.
4. "Siege pt.2", when she's held captive by the Genii when she comes to negotiate. She's tied up, in a chair, blindfolded, and she's still controlling the room.
5. "The Rising, pt.1" when she's gently teasing McKay and so excited and hopeful and dreaming of the possibilities. Torri Higginson made me love Elizabeth with that scene, when I'd been neutral to/disliked the character in the hands of Stein.

Top Five Best Shoes
(I don't really pay attention to shoes that much, so this will have no mention of brand names, because I don't know them)
1. Low-heeled boots. They exist, they're just exceedingly rare to find, but very comfortable.
2. Slippers.
3. Loafers. Comfortable enough to walk in, but they can look good in more formal occasions.
4. Ballet flats. Again, ridiculously comfortable (are we noticing a pattern here?)
5. Sandals. I live in these during the summer. They're almost as comfortable as going barefoot, and they protect my feet from the sharp rocks and assorted other sidewalk debris
