Sk8 or DIE
Let's commence the new school year, right?
List/impressions:
MWRF - Japanese 201
Great not having to travel downtown to get to class, Robinson seems like a good guy, but possibly harsh grader. We're currently reviewing the last few lessons of JPN 102, and while I can remember words, grammar points and Kanji OK, I can't really piece together a single sentence. This'll be fun. Major studying required. :\
MWF - Roman Civilization
Very nice, funny teacher. VERY interesting course. For a Gen Ed requirement, I'm satisfied with this. Rome and it's ancient culture has always fascinated me, and this class seems like it'll go by pretty nicely.
TR - Brit Lit
Oh boy for having this at 8:30AM. But class was cancelled this morning and with Labor Day cutting Tues classes I don't return till next Thursdays. We'll be reading some interesting stories for sure, like Canterbury Tales & Beowulf, and getting some nice history lessons along with the texts. Like the sacking of Rome, the Aglo/Saxon invasion and such. I'm gleefully in tune, but I know I'd rather take the next level (if it exists) where there'd be a focus on the Victorian era. I crave me some Dickens, Doyle, Stoker, Wells & Wilde.
T - Advanced Fiction
Well, this is what I'm here for. Lots of fiction stories to write, a shit-ton to read, and a review to be made on just about eveything. Like Intermediate almost exactly but well, advanced. Happy to share the class with some familiars from last year, It'll certainly help. I'm feeling very creative right now, but mostly with genre writing, and I know it's frowned apon in this class, but they can all deal with it. If I'd rather write about pirates and cowboys than coming-of-ages and modern realistic people, so be it.
TR - Psychology 101
Another Gen Ed, but another ineteresting one. Been meaning to take this one for awhile, and it's mostly lecture, which pleases me. I tire of having to speak up and discuss for credit, and I won't be needing to that in this class.
So far everything seems slow, but I know it is merely the calm before the storm.
Out of class, my room is an awesome showcase of geekdom. 5 video game systems, a shelf dedicated to games and DVDs, action figures decorated in every corner, a kick ass roomate (that would be Mr. Dan Sills) and all my music with me. Downloaded Mixcraft 4, gonna see if I can learn to re-mix and sample, make some nerdcore raps while Tim (my band) is on a practicing break.
Much Love,
