My first day of class has gone quite well. There were many familiar faces in my classes, which is a fine thing, and there were no obvious disasters. However, when I went to get my last textbook (excepting the two textbooks that weren't on the list at all) I found that none of the three campus bookstores had it. Disappointing.
However, after ascertaining this, I ditched my pack in my room, picked up my umbrella and three CDs I didn't like, and went shopping. After a brief stop for dental floss, I went to the CD/Game Exchange, and handed over the three discs. Then I went to browse the shelves as one of the clerks calculated the exchange value of the discs.
There were several likely-looking albums in the $2.50 and $5.00 sections of "Rock" – I finally decided to just pick up Eurythmics Sweet Dreams are Made of This. I would have gotten a second $5 disc, but an especially cool song came up on the muzak in the store, some song I never heard of, and I caved and bought that album.
I'm listening to it now: The Strokes, Room On Fire. It's pretty good; I think it's prog rock, like Brian Eno, but I'll probably check online.
