Once again I've put off writing in this thing for a few days. This time I meant to write on Monday, and now it's Thursday (well, Friday morning) and rather than sleep I'm gonna do this thing.This semester has been a whole lot harder than last semester. Last semester must have been a fluke or something, because I probably do more work in a week than I did all last semester. Here's a small breakdown:
Spanish 200 - all homework is online, which I don't really like.
German 100 - usually one small writing assignment a night.
E104 Crime in mass media - I usually have to read about 30 pages before monday, another 30 by friday, and I write a 1 page summary by Friday. This is probably the most time consuming class. The summaries are collected randomly 6 times throughout the semester, so I don't even know if what I'm writing will be graded. The class is extremely interesting, though (more on that later). If I didn't like it so much I would totally hate it.
C212 - one lab and one assignment a week. Also I have to read usually about 30 pages by Wednesday each week. Random quizes throughout the year.
Linear Algebra - I don't like this class too much. It's all about vectors and matricies. It's also very very abstract, which I suppose is what happens to math as you get higher up. I have usually about 30 problems a week all due Friday, and about 5 are graded. I would totally hate the class if my teacher wasn't such a good teacher.
so that's the low down.
k, so (queso)
On monday i was walking from my crime class to the next one with a friend of mine in my crime class who was also in my spanish class last semester. She was talking about how she had seen our old Spanish teacher a few days ago (the really hot one), and I looked across the street. I was like "Is that her right there?" and it was. So we yelled "Hola Edelmira!" and she yelled back "Hi! Como esta hijos?" And it was awesome.
On wednesday in our crime class, the teacher warned us of some pictures he was going to show us. He said they were pretty gruesome, and he was giving people the opportunity to leave the room. He told us he would show us a picture of a body being hanged, a girl who was strangled to death, JFK's head after he was shot, and a guy who shot himself in the mouth. Nobody left, and he showed us the picture. Afterwards, he used the fact that nobody left to demonstrate human's insatiable curiosity to see this kind of stuff, and that in part is why news stations focus so much on violent crime. So that was interesting.
It's almost 4, and I have classes from 8-11, and a linear algebra test at 1:30. So shit on that, I'm going to bed.
so long!
