School is remarkably low key so far. I was expecting to get back and face three papers, a test, and loads of stress. What I am met with, however, is very little homework at all, none really on the horizon, and an altogether pleasant English class. We're finally onto the "Darkness and the Horrors of Man" unit, which will last until May. We've just started reading Hamlet; I went out to Border's to buy a copy since I didn't have one, and it is lovely and I intend to adore it.

I also got my car back, which I incidentally didn't have for a few days because it was overheating. Luckily we got it fixed and inspected, and though I had to get a ride to school yesterday, everything is better because it finally has a radio, CD player, and excellent sound system. I took me until tonight to find my CDs, though what's in the player right now is Not Bad. Collective Soul, anyone?

Well, being low key, I allowed myself to actually hang out with some friends after school today. Oh, I know. This is remarkably out of the ordinary for myself, who traditionally does not have anything of a social life, but let me tell you. It was fun. I like people, except for when I don't understand them, which is far too often in my opinion. They say things I don't get, I don't know whether to laugh, we both stare awkwardly at our feet. I say I gotta go, and slink away.

I'm also broke, so going to Cameron Village wasn't that good an idea. I split a cookie with Rodin, though. That was nice.
