Spring Semester Classes
I’m taking 19 credits this semester, down from the 22 I wanted to take, but up from the 15 I took last semester. I couldn’t take 22 because the generous financiers of my college education, i.e. my parents, refused to pay for the extra credits. Well, it is more economical to take less credits at once, at least if you believe, as my parents do, that time is not money. In any case, let me summarize my classes below.

GenEd 111: Many of you are aware of my bitching about GenEd last semester. So I switch professors. This one allows laptops in class. That is an improvement. Unfortunately, he’s the most irritating man I’ve ever meant. Please don’t take offense when I say this, because there’s no other way to say it: he acts in a sterotypically flamboyant homosexual manner, which is rather distracting and annoying. I don’t hold people’s lifestyle choices against them, let me remind you, but my god, is it an annoying mannerism. He also takes forever to explain simple points. I wish he would just shut up and lecture. World Civilizations is fascinating. The professors, at least so far, suck.
Math 202: The sequel to last semester’s class. Same professor. Awesome as usual.
Phil 101: Philosophy! Interesting class. We do a philosophical reading and discuss it in class, basically. Those of you who know me really really well know that this means I love this class.
B Law 210: Business Law. Dear GOD is it confusing! A hell of a lot to remember! Those of you aware of my flirtations with anarchist theories (I can’t help it! I just read Spooner and really got caught up in it!) will probably guess that the little anarchist in me is revolted by the whole thing, as if I was taking a class on…well, anything you find utterly reprehensible, I suppose. But I’m keeping the anarchist under control, and starting to take a genuine interest in the class.
Econ 102: Macroeconomics is nothing to get too excited about.
German 102: It’s a language class, what do you expect? I suppose it’s a bit stressful for me though, because I have to speak German! To other people! Anyone here who’s aware of how apprehensive I am about even speaking English to other people have some idea what it’s like.

Work
I got a job at Student Computing Services as a “Student Technology Consultant”. This is a fancy term they use for a lab monitor and tech support monkey. Please call technical support. It makes me feel important.

Other
I would like to take this opportunity to point out to everyone that Wesley Clark is the other war criminal wanting to be elected President in 2004.
