Ethics etc.
I had my first Ethics class of the term this morning. The prof speaks faster than me and perhaps seems even more random that I am. This could certainly prove to be a good thing for an 8:30 am class. I must admit that I have avoided at all costs taking an 8:30 am class. I really dislike doing things in the morning. But I have also become aware looking at my grades that there is a fairly large trend of my doing better when I take earlier classes instead of night classes... so not much I can do about that.
I am quickly settling back to my routines. Get up, shower, eat breakfast, bike to school. In many ways its the exact same thing that I have done since I was about 8 years old. I think I actually like being in third year though. I'm feeling like I'm getting a hang of this whole thing and settling down enough that I can just be me. It really is a nice feeling. I also enjoyed when the prof asked today who had taken a philosophy course before- being one of those few who had... or when she asked about who had read Plato how I could think to myself... "Wow I've done all the readings for the next month and a half, and all of them I've done about 6 times now". I don't know why that's refreshing and somewhat rewarding feeling- but it is. Maybe it's just a sign that I'm lazy and really should take some more variety in my classes. I don't feel bad about this one though. It is manditory in order for me to get my degree. I can't complain if some of the reading has overlap, it certainly won't be the case for the rest of my courses!
My teaching schedule also goes into full swing today. I start at 1-2 with my students Emily and Alison, then I head to the school for 3:30 to teach Emily, Helen, Brittany, Justin, Marty, etc. etc. Speaking of which I never did sort out the marty thing, oh boy! We've double booked his lesson so that he has Piano and Violin at exactly the same time. Yikes! It should be a full day indeed!
I have class in half an hour- I don't actually know where it is though so I should probably head out.
Hope all are having good days back to where ever you happen to be!
