Well, I've been in all my classes so far.
Real Analysis looks to be interesting. Only 5 people in the class, I know all but 1 of the people in there. It's going to be difficult, and a lot of work.
Popular liturate seems to be interesting and other than reading novels, doesn't look to be much work. Interestingly, one of the people who showed up today is the now purple haired friend that went with my sister to Europe. (It took me a bit to be sure it was her. Silly people who like to have their hair be rainbow colored over time. :P)
Forensic Anthropology was mostly introduction to the class last night, and looks to be interesting. (If potentially very time consuming.)
Linguistics, I'm going to drop, because wow. I don't think I can recall a 300 level class where the professor is that distracted, comes in 15 minutes the first day, then spends the vast majority of the rest of the class telling stories about himself that don't relate to the class, in any way, I or the few other people I talked to can see. I just see 'trainwreck' written all over that class. I've never gotten the urge to just walk out and drop something before.
Monday Evenings to Thursday morning is going to be annoying this semester. I've got history Monday evening, which is followed Tuesday morning by Real Analysis, and I'm slightly rusty on some of it. Then Forensic Anthropology in the Evening. Wendsday is a modern English class, which seems to be the easiest of the semester, and the history class (the next easiest). Then Real on Thursday, and I suspect that the assignments will be difficult. In addition to refreshing, or relearning some math, and anthropology, the other classes have a lot of readings. Wendsday is going to be the bad day, given my habit of procrastination.
Last night sucked, because I didn't manage to get much sleep, which meant I took a nap in the afternoon rather than attacking the Real Analysis homework, which will have to wait until after History.
Last night, being bored, I wondered if some anthropologists would flee from the Real Analysis book, as they sort of have from other math books. They don't seem to. I'm unable to explain it other than lack of familiarity. Or they think I'm crazy, which might well be true.
My right hand is hurting when I try to write, or use a mouse, (but not typing for some reason) so I've been writing left-handed. (Thank goodness I decided to start practicing it a while ago. It's not as fast, but pain that I've got to expend effort to ignore, or slow writing... means I'll write slowly.)
