oh, my uncle was in town for business today so we went out to dinner and he put it on the company credit card... ill be seein him on the 21st anyways... but he wont be seein susan for a long time....
so a little more info on my classes if you were wondering which im sure you werent... chem 1a is just first semester inorganic chem... english r1a is a requirement, well any r1a but the other r1as didnt sound appealing in the slightest and apparantly the section i signed up for goes like this: "In this class we will read Ralph Ellison’s two novels, Invisible Man and the recently compiled reader’s edition of his magisterial forty-year work-in-progress, Juneteenth. We will also read sizable excerpts from his collection of essays, Shadow and Act, and from the works of cultural theorists such as W. E. B. Du Bois, C. L. R. James and Frantz Fanon. One of the ultimate goals of the class will be for students to integrate the theoretical concepts elaborated in works such as these into argumentative essays on Ellison’s literary work. For example, W. E. B. Du Bois understands African Americans to be possessed of a “double-consciousness,” a “sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others,” a condition that is simultaneously alienating and generative of a valuable kind of “second-sight.” This concept will help orientate our approach to the models of consciousness explored in Ellison’s literary work, as well as the later Marxist and psychoanalytic models of consciousness we will explore. Students will be expected to write numerous short essays, with increasing emphasis being placed on close reading, literary analysis and theoretical argumentation.
Book List:
Ellison, R.: Invisible Man

so it really doesn't sound all that bad. at least not compared to those that have jane eyre, robinson crusoe, tale of two cities, mary barton, and frankenstein on the reading lists... ok, so those aren't the hardest books, but i only have 2 to read... theres some that seem really horrible but the copy-paste thing really doesnt work too well with that page apparantly and i dont feel like typing the book lists....
then espm 50ac. this fulfills my american cultures requirement. it's title is Introduction to Culture and Natural Resource Management. want a description? too bad, here ya go: An introduction to how culture affects the way we use and manage fire, wildland and urban forests, rangelands, parks and preserves, and croplands in America. The basic concepts and tools for evaluating the role of culture in resource use and management are introduced and used to examine the experience of American cultural groups in the development and management of western natural resources.
the vision sci seminar is about optical illusions... when i signed up for it i didnt read the paragraph about teh professor.... he's the dean of the school of optometry. my contacts doctor went to the school of optometry at berkeley. and now im taking a seminar with 16 other ppl and her former dean. little freaked out. but should be fun.
overall, i guess im looking forward to next year. classes dont seem that bad. fun even. in the theme program, so hopefully will meet some cool ppl there. and if not, foothill is notoriously less social which i most definitely am. so ill find other ppl like me there. im really rather lethargic and i dont know why. but anyways. ask me a question someone. leave a comment or something.
