Well Summer class is basically over. I submit a revised paper on Monday, then its a whole bunch of registration for September. In fact I'm picking out my fall schedule this weekend, it's intense. Aparently most ofthe kids in the class i was in, have to take a CRW11/112 class. Not realy a remedial class, but a creative writting class where they can work on how to write an essay, and well, think. I'm one of the few who don't have to suffer through that. I'm going right into a 4credit FYS english class. Well that and 3 other classes. I'm thinking I'll do two classes a day, five days a week. (yes the math will work out) Say i do this from like 9am-2pm, that'll give me plently of time to work and study. Gah, this is alot of work. But here i am Doing it. Makeign it through. Whats kinda amazing, is that when i walk into the office of my program (it's called DSP, basicaly its a program for people who need a bit of suport to make sure they start college prepared) I'll ask a question or go to grap a fyler of some sort, and they talk about "this guy who lived in the woods", or when Cris (the proffesor) got into a hudge argument with one of his students that lasted most of the class, I go oh, realy? and then they tell me all about this absurd person, who seems to have no place being there, who ::gasp:: has ideas of his own and talkes to prossesors and TA's alike with an understanding and perlexing questions. I'll just say oh, that might be me your talking about. And then calmly I'll say htat what they heard was a fierce exageration, that say when we were talkign about poverty and choice, the students might have heard "poor people choose to be poor", but what was realy beign said was "poor people are under the illution of choice because capitolism inherently makes their choises uninformed ones, and manipulates their consept of value, thus their sence of choice is inherently corupted by our economic system".
and so on.
God damn i love College.
well off to revise that paper. Oh and I installed another Dictation program, it helps to think out loud, but not that great for nitpickign revitions on an essay, beter for email, or an outline. ...still cool though.
