I Don't Do Love Letters, I'm No Good With Flowers

I have finally sorted out my schedule for next semester.
I woke up early today and wandered down to the Arts Building (home of the schools of English, Drama, Film, Linguistics, Languages, and History--aka the only courses I really want to take).
Earlier I had compiled a long list of every class I could take in these departments (plus Business and Biology (they had an evolution class...it was tempting!)) so I went down to the building armed with my nice long list of about 100 classes, intent on finding two to enroll in.
I decided that my first stop should be the School of English and Drama (they're one school), they're nice to me there....and the drama department at least seems to usually have lots of openings in classes.
I was in luck--they had four courses ("modules") open that I could take. I settled on Interventions (which focuses on activism in modern theater), and Naturalism (it focuses on 19th century realist theater).
As a result, I have the following schedule for next semester:

Monday: Nothing
Tuesday: 11-1pm-Naturalism
2-9pm-Performance Composition (I've been registered for this class for a while what with it being required for me to graduate and all)
Wednesday: 9-10am-Performance Composition (yes, it's a two day class)
Thursday: 11:30-1mp and 2-4pm: Interventions
Friday: Nothing

So I have to intense days of classes, one day of having to get up early, and four day weekends every week. I can totally dig that.
Tuesdays will be killer, but I think I'll be able to stand it. I think Performance Composition is suppose to be mostly independent work, so maybe the hours won't have to be that long.

Yesterday I went to my first Harry Potter Society meeting.
We met up and played Quidditch in Regent's Park.
I actually had a lot of fun. I had never played quidditch before so I was a little bit nervous, but turns out that it's pretty easy as long as you're not actually expected to fly....
It was really nice to meet more people with similar interests.
I even met a few other Queen Mary students, and they invited me to join Fencing Club on Wednesday, which I wanted to do anyway but just hadn't done yet. Plus, I had people to ride the tube home with that night, which was very nice.

Anyway, I have a long list of things to do today. I really need to learn that putting off writing papers until the day before they're due, especially when you have a lot of other homework to do, is a really bad idea.
I also have a Saint John's Ambulance meeting tonight. I'm going to assume that most of you don't know what Saint John's Ambulance is, since before I went to a meeting I had no idea what it was either.
Essentially, it's a society for EMTs and first responders. Saint John's Ambulance is a massive charity that provides first aid at different events (football games are their most popular ones, but they just won the bid to provide first aid at the Olympics in 2012) and at different accidents around town. Like, when all of the London bombings happened a few years ago, they were the first people on the scene.
Since I'm just starting out, I'll only be providing basic first aid, so I won't really get to do anything big (unless there's some horrible tragedy) but I'm okay with that.
If you're wondering why I'd choose to do something like this, it's pretty simple: last year I took a class that certified me to administer first aid and CPR and to use an AED. I never really intended on using these skills, it was just a class I took to get the activities credit, but a situation has presented itself where I could use my skills to do some good. So why shouldn't I do what I can to help other people? I think it just makes sense.
