annundrielEnglish - Texts in Context: It looks like this is going to be my heaviest writing class this quarter. We're reading Marlowe's Tamburlaine the Great Part 1, Milton's Paradise Lost, and Shakespeare's Hamlet. Should be interesting and hopefully not too hair-pulling. Dr. Bean is, and this is going to seem like a strange adjective but bear with me, kind of adorable in a dorky/nerdy kind of way. Yesterday he just had that kind of enthusiasm that was like, "Yea, Renaissance!"
I left feeling pretty good about school. Because yea school! But boo classes. I like learning stuff, I just hate the deadlines.
Philosophy - Ethics: The professor wants us to call him by his first name. I'm a little weirded out by that, but I'll get over it. He's kind of crazy and spastic and that's a good thing. Dr. Berry is kind of like that and I loved her. We're reading Aristotle, Kant, Mill, and Mensch. Perhaps it won't be as terrible as I thought it might be. Plus, Kasey's in the class, so I've got someone I know around.
English - Mythology: I'm looking forward to this class. I'm more comfortable now with Dr. Cumberland's slightly more relaxed way of teaching. Forgot about the name tags, though. We have to write a myth about our lives (or something like that). I called it! I talked to several people before taking this class and expressed suspicions about her assigning something like that. But now that it has happened, it could actually be quite fun. Kasey's there, too, so again yea with the knowing someone.
Gonna be an interesting quarter. Doing okay on the assignments so far. Just need to finish the response for "The Time of Marlowe" and read chapter two out of Classical Mythology. Woo.

Mom and Dad brought me back to Seattle on Sunday and left me at Kay and Greg's. They were at their cabin until that evening and when they got back, Tris found me in the play/TV room and you know one of the first things he said to me not ten minutes into their return? "Hey, Stargate comes back in January, doesn't it?"
HEE! There may be a wee sci-fi fan on our hands. He *did* get a ton of Star Wars stuff for Christmas. Plus, I asked him what he'd been reading lately and he said he'd just finished a series about Luke Skywalker. This is exciting for me. Potentially, I could sit and watch stuff with him. Not that I don't already, yea Cartoon Network! He could handle SG-1. But not the first ep, with the nudity. He's not seeing that.
Anyway. It's cool.
This weekend I'll try to take a decent picture of Kirby, so that those of you who have expressed an interest in seeing him finally can. :)
I'm saving the newest (Canadian) ep of SGA for this weekend as a pat on the back for getting work down. Writing for OJ will also be worked on as a break once Thursday is behind me.
