Classes! Stuff! Exciting!

It's been a while since I've updated this, so it's high time that I wrote a detailed account of all that's been going on.

Classes are good, and my literature professors are off the wall, which is good for the most part.  I find that the best professors are passionate about what they are teaching on and/or completely crazy.  I'd rather have a teacher for a class that acts nuts and tries to make things fun than someone who speaks in a lame monotone (which looks like what's going to happen in my Intro to Physics class, unfortunately).

My Brit Lit professor is an anxious guy, and very passionate about his subject.  He said that we were going to be comparing the "didactic and satirical aspects of different pieces of literature" from 18th century literature.  He also read a dirty poem out loud that had all these archaic sexual references.  We all just gave him blank stares when he was done reading.  We're going to be reading Pamela during the class, and a section of The Spectator for Tuesday. Sounds like fun... But at the very least I have a friend in the class, which is awesome.

My creative writing class looks to be interesting.  The professor for this class is also very off-the-wall and crazy, and I think I'm going to be doing a lot of writing and work-shopping. It should be very helpful and useful. :)

Lit Theory seems like it is going to be VERY difficult and take up a lot of my time.  Fortunately, I have a friend who has taken it before, and there are a lot of online quizzes rather than in-class ones, which is great.  I feel that I'm going to be cramming a ton of info about theories and critiquing in my brain (and writing about it; a journal is one of the requirements for the class and a large chunk of the grade).  It shouldn't be too bad, though.  Whatever effort I put into it will come out of it, and I've got to keep this in mind.

Latin is Latin, and my professor for that class is ever the same.  However, there's only SEVEN of us in Latin II, so class participation is going to be even more important.  Which means I better get my butt in gear and start reviewing before I go to bed tomorrow.

I went to the first meeting of the semester of the Christian club I'm involved in, and it was really quite wonderful.  There were lots and lots of new people that I can't wait to get to know!  Also got to hang out and chat with my other friends, and worship was good. Next week should even be better. :)

Also, went to an info meeting for a possible on-campus job over the summer that I'm really looking forward to apply to.  It's a very competitive position, so odds that I'll get it are very slim.  I'm going to try anyway, though.  Will keep posted here and elsewhere about it. :D

Final thing - two of the people I sent postcards to through Postcrossing (the gal in Colorado and the gentleman from Berlin) received and registered their postcards.  So I should be getting some postcards within the next week or two.  I'm pumped.
