Bollocks. I’ve broken my headphones again.

I was in Sharples (Swarthmore’s dining hall), and walking up to bus my try. The curlicue cord, dangling from my pocket, got caught on a chair back as I was walking by, and pulled my up short. Everything looked fine, but when I tried to listen through them, nothing came through. Once I got home, I opened up the plug and found that while the ground was still attached, both the left and right channel wires had pulled off of their contact points. Well, now that I know how to solder, I can fix it on my own. I just need to get hold of a soldering iron again.

I preregistered for classes today–sort of, at least. My schedule for next semester was going to be Acting II Monday afternoon, Latin seminar (Aeneid) Wednesday afternoon, and Directing I Friday afternoon (plus a likely fifth course–maybe intro to Comp. Sci. or intermediate Greek). For a while, the Latin seminar was going to be moved to Monday, but after surveying students, the department found that Wednesday worked best. Unfortunately, the theater department didn’t follow suit when they changed Directing I to Wednesday afternoon at the last minute. As of now I’m registered for all of those classes, regardless of the conflict. Come next September, I’ll need to talk with people to see if one of those classes can be moved. Otherwise I’ll have to put off Directing until the fall of senior year, which would require a whole bunch of schedule juggling. Grrrr, theater department.

Also, my blockmates and I didn’t get any of our desired blocks for next year. When we got our lottery numbers yesterday, we found out why–they’re terrible. Because we blocked together, we have a series of six numbers in the 760s. Rising Junior numbers cut off at 800, so we’re going to have bad luck picking rooms. Also, our housing lottery is Monday at 7:30, the same time as my Movement Theater class. Grrrr, housing.

Regardless, the semester is almost over. A week and a half of classes, followed by reading week and exams. I don’t have much work left, now that my final seminar paper is done. I’ll have a lot to do to prepare for exams, though, what with catching up with all the Latin reading that I haven’t done. I’m looking forward to a month in which to do nothing before I head up to camp.
