Since I last updated, I've gone back to college! New classes are as follows.
Studies in Poetry: Required class for the English major, so appropriately meh. My teacher seems all right, but we literally analyze one poem for an hour and it gets tiresome after awhile. Could definitely be worse, though.
Elementary French: Once I master the pronunciation, I will love it. Until then, it's frustrating. The class is more speaking-based than writing-based, which I understand but don't learn a lot from; I memorize best when I have to write it down.
Honors seminar: My teacher is way better than last year's, but it would be pretty hard to be worse. She totally fits the crazy lady stereotype, but in a good way. I'm presenting Machiavelli's The Prince for class next Monday. Awesome. :D
Intro to Creative Writing: Love this class! It helps that my teacher is really cute. ;D Haven't really gotten a good vibe from most of the people in it (there was one douchebag who started talking about how racism didn't exist anymore in front of a black guy, omfg), but the assignments are interesting and I think my writing has already improved a little.
I'm living on the livelier part of campus this year, which is interesting. So many drunk people, ugh. But I'm very close to the subway and to my new job (working at the video services center, ten hours a week, started today!), so those are all pluses. I might actually get around to using the fitness center once in awhile, since getting to it is no longer a workout.
I'm considering joining our school's literary magazine this year. It has the potential to be a very pretentious affair, but it could be nice. If I enjoy it and wind up sticking with it, it'll be a good thing to put on my resume.
Finally, a Power Rangers-themed meme! Stolen from
pockythoughts.
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing (excluding instrumentals)
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
7. Tag three people!
( This is what I do when I'm supposed to be writing three papers )
