back at college

Here I am, back at ENC, trying to get into the swing of things again.

Quote from something for World Lit: "It is only by participating in this divine life that mortal, fragile human beings fulfill their potential." (5)
"In the pre-modern world, when people wrote about the past they were more concerned with what an event had meant." (7)

My schedule looks something like this...
Foundations of Education
Teaching Composition
Linguistics
World (actually Western) Lit
Calc 3
also working at CAS, along with babysitting here and there.
Wednesday nights is Quizzing woohoo.

This weekend I have to read part of the Gilgamesh thing for World Lit...that class seems like it'll be really interesting and good....not to mention I have a bunch of friends in it. When I go home for Columbus Day weekend, I'm going to grab my AP Lit notebook to reference.

I'm not too keen on the Education class, primarily because I'm not 100% positive I want to be a teacher. Linguistics seems like it'll be really fun and interesting. The Composition class should be interesting...I haven't really had an English/writing course since senior year. Between these English-type courses, I am now getting conscious about my grammar/sentence structure. Oh boy.

I sort of have holes in my schedule--like Monday and Friday afternoons I'm not really doing anything. Despite the fact that I have to get up wicked early every day (7:15), it's nice because I'm done by 1pm. Maybe I should use that time to nap. That'd be smart.

The room situation is good...Magon and Shawn and I have a triple...quite interesting at times :)

Maybe now I'll do some reading or something. yeah. That'd be good.
