Overall, everything is pretty fun. Mass Communication and Society may be a class where I just learn common knowledge about the media and how it works, but the things the professor talks about and references are things that we hear about pretty much every day (britney spears, writers strike, beavis and butthead), so I think I might be able to have a little fun there. Hey, I may even get to make myself known defending video games if it ever comes under discussion.
I was scared shitless about going to Honors American Government, but it turned out to be not so bad. The teacher is very high energy (in a limp wristed way), and keeps us interested because he knows that we would never have taken the class if it weren't for required Honors credit hours. From what he tells us, were going to be talking about current affairs, domestic policy, foreign policy, all that crap you hear about on those channels you never watch. Im a little concerned about the fact that a big part of our grade is based on us participating in discussions, which will inevitably turn into debates, one thing I have never been good at. We'll see though.
Aural skills I is okay, its just a lot of singing and ear training. Right now its really easy and for some strange reason I can hear my own voice over most of the class, but I'm sure that will change soon. Sightsinging in modes...ack!
As much as I like to write, I hate my English class!! The teacher is like an unfunny version of Ms. DeOre, and we're going to be doing literature analysis again, which is one of the most tedious and boring things possible in a class. I would rather eat glass, vomit it back out, and wash it all down with a cool glass of pig urine.
Oh, and its a half hour longer than all my other classes too.
Despite the fact that I have to go to theory at 8 in the morning, I don't have much else to complain about, its music theory.
Ok, last one, and probably my least favorite, college algebra. Oh wonderful wonderful college algebra! Where would I be without you?
Oh yeah, thats right, HAPPY!!!! I mean, I took math classes all through middle school and high school, and I don't plan on going into something that uses math for a career. So why do I have to take this fucking torturous class? The location is far from the class I have before it, its boring, I already learned the materials at least once before, and the teacher barely speaks english. Nothing remotely good can come from this experience, but I guess I have to go through it to actually take classes related to Electronic News. I think I'll survive, but I'll be hanging by a fraction of a thread.
So thats where I am at the moment.
College is fun, but it can be a lot of work sometimes.

yummy, pig urine.
Eric's taking a badminton class this semester at like 8:00... I laughed at that. He said the strength training class had been filled up, so he had to take either badminton or bowling. Gross!
You should start doing the singing career mode on rock band when no one's around to judge your choice in video games... I mean, I'd think it was awesome of course, but maybe your roommate would think it was dorky. In any case, it would get your voice better for sight singing, haha. I wonder if thats why you can hear your voice over the other peoples of the class... that, or you're actually more confident at sight singing than anyone else. Back in Mr. E's class I used to be the only one who'd sing any louder than a grumble, and once when I sang a half note lower than what was written (it was an accidental), he called out LAUREN!! as soon as I sang it wrong and everyone laughed at me for messing up. They were laughing more because Mr. E overreacted and interrupted the entire phrase we were singing, but... I was still embarrassed. This was just a year after he said "Oh, I can't see the TV, Lauren's head is in the way," putting strict emphasis on the head. Sometimes I thought he hated me :(
"I would rather eat glass, vomit it back out, and wash it all down with a cool glass of pig urine."
Ok, I have to ask, is that from something, or is that original?
Lol college doesn't sound so bad! It sounds like high school with less classes!
Good words.
