Ok, so I went to the Columbia Summer Advising Session for admitted students tonight…BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME. We proceeded to go through every requirement in The Core, IN FULL DETAIL. Why can’t these children go and do a little research?

I finally got some one on one time with an Advisory Dean which was nice (although she was cray cray…from Seattle, barely comes to L.A., one of those nutters that coops up all Californians into one group and thinks all we do is sip Mimosas, get tans/massages, and mosey on the beach…) ANYWHO. She was pretty helpful I guess. I really like how we don’t have to register for classes until after orientation and after you meet up with your advisor. They’re pretty nice to freshies.

They gave us the Iliad at the end of the session. Apparently we’re supposed to read it before we get there in September.  Too bad I’VE ALREADY READ IT (didn’t take lit but did read it on my own time and in 8th grade at my old school) ALSO, I translated the Trojan PoV aka the Aeneid, from Latin into English and also read the entire Aeneid in english. I’m feeling a major skim session on this piece of ancient literature seeing as how I could now probably recount every major event from when Helen got jiggy with Paris for the first time to when the little pansy shot Achilles in his ticklish spot.

(I’m ticklish on my foot-especially the heel- too Pelides)
