(no subject)
There are a number of things I have to do. Let's count them, shall we?
I need to turn in a very simple paper for my Composition class on the "two worlds" present in my life. This would be very easy, but I have to have it peer-reviewed. The peer I was assigned is a doofus, which I take to mean that I am peerless.
I have to turn in a paper for my sexual politics class on anything that can fall under the wide net of sex or politics, based on reading I simply haven't done. It is interesting but far more dryly academic than my lectures, as I suppose I should expect.
I have to turn in a philosophy paper on like Aristotle or some kind of jerk like that. Who knows?
More interestingly, I have to meet with the chair of the Honors and Scholarships gang to talk about my schedule for next semester. I don't know a whole lot, but here's one set of classes in the realm of possibility:
ENG 140H - Honors Poetry
HIST 02H - Honors Western Civ. 2
HSS 100 - Honors in the Social Sciences
PSCI 100 - American Government [with my favorite professor]
PSYCH 107 - Statistical Methods [There are parallels in the Urban Studies and Sociology departments]
Which would be doable, at least. However, there are a lot of classes I have some interest in. A lot.
PHIL 109 - Introduction to Modern Logic [Would fulfill the same requirement as PSYCH 107 as well as helping along a possible Poli Sci major/minor]
MEDST 110 - Political Communication
HTH - Honors in the Humanities [I could be a glutton for pain and take two honors tracks, but I think that's impossible. Still, I have the requisites.]
MEDST 140 - History of Cinema from 1930 to 1970 [I'd get to become a movie snob, but the class is 4 hours long]
PHIL 121 - Law/Ethics/Medicine [What a neat class, though I might be surrounded by pre-med kids]
I'm beginning to think I put off work because even when I don't do it, failure is within my locus of control. How I feel never appears to be. Better a "controlled burn", with apologies to California, than spontaneous combustion. The point is that I feel oddly good right now. So.
