classes and such
it's ridiculous how fucking cold it is right now. the high for today is 5 F, wind chills at about -25 F. i guess walking to class will be a very cold experience. on the bright side, i have my first jewish lit class today. i really hope it turns out to be pretty interesting.
another something funny, eric and i have at least seriously pondered the idea of being good students this semester. i'm not sure how long that will last. hopefully pretty long.
my intro to international relations class looks to be a very enjoyable class. i like marcelo because he is very straight forward. i may not necessarily agree with how he runs his class from an administrative perspective, but at the very least i know exactly what to expect from him. not to mention, he also seems to be a really smart guy who asks a lot of challenging questions. as well, i'm thouroughly enjoying the reading for the class already. man, state, and war seems to be pretty dense, but beyond that, it brings forth a lot of compelling ideas. once you get over the cumbersome nature of waltz's writing style, it becomes evident that some great ideas are being put forth.
so i guess i'll just brave the wind and the cold and focus instead on my classes for the day, and how they're inside.
additionally, i've come to the conclusion that i'm commiting academic suicide. whatever, i'm determined to make it through this semester without dropping anything.
intro to international relations, jewsish lit, microecon, calc. should be fun :)
