Let the obsessing begin!

 

I logged into the college website today to see if any announcements had been posted. Sometimes profs like to sneak in messages like "Be sure to bring the textbook to the first class" so they can see who is keeping up, LOL. Of course most people don't do that. I found one syllabus for my Computers class, which I don't have until tomorrow. It looks like the text is optional. I think that class might be reasonably easy, since I have a good grasp of internet, but I've never really done any Office programs except Word, so I hope to learn something there.

 

My first class starts at 11. Nice that I don't have to rush to get there, but kind of wish it were a bit earlier. T/Th I have two classes back to back (and across the hall from each other, lol). Wednesday I only have Computers.

The weird thing is I can only find one of my profs on ratemyprofessor.com. One of my classes lists two profs, maybe a prof and a TA. Maybe the other prof is new. So I feel a little anxious about that. But the history teacher is supposed to be good-sounds very similar to the history class I had last year.

I watched a few minutes of The Alienist last night before bed. I thought it might fill the gap that The Knick left, being about psych/forensics around the same era in New York. It didn't grab me though, but it might be because I was getting tired. I hate first episodes where they introduce all the characters in like the first scene and I'm like wait, who's that? But I do like Luke Evans, so I'll give it a chance.

I loved The Knick-nobody I know of watched it, but it was this great hospital drama set in early 20th century New York. I loved the characters and story arcs, and it had Toby from This Is Us who is just great, and he was in a mostly platonic but flirty relationship with a nun, and they were awesome together. The season ended with a doctor wanting to get into psychology. In the days of early psych research they used to isolate people (amongst other not as nice things). But at the end of the last season it shows the doctor pulling up a chair to the patient and talking to him. And then it freaking ended!
