School.
Not much to say, really. I don't even have anything new to submit. I guess it's just one of those "updating for the sake of updating," or just the fact that I'm really bored, putting off homework and feel like writing. So I'll talk about school, so at least I'll be THINKING about the work I'm supposed to be doing. A little easier on the conscience. XP

First I've got my art class, which is going pretty well. We had nude models for the first time this week, which in the case of the guy was highly disturbing, and even with the girl I was mildly uncomfortable. It's hard to get used to drawing naked strangers. I still like the class though, even though I'm not learning much (I really believe you can't "learn" art from anyone- it's all observation and practice) but it's making me try new materials and draw more often.

Then is my Shakespeare class. I'm somewhat disappointed in that class. It was supposed to be my "hard" class, and my advisor and professor told me I might want to reconsider since I was a freshman, but it's amazingly easy. Maybe it's because I've always been good with Shakespeare, but I swear all my professor does is repeat herself all day. She gives us a study sheet before each test, and takes the test questions right off of the study sheet.

Then I have Algebra, which is so much a joke I don't even show up anymore except for tests.

Next is Acquisition of Knowledge, cutely dubbed "AOK," which is a philosophy course I have to take for the Honors college. It's pretty boring, because we're reading "Plato's Republic," which is god-awful. I HATE that book. Thankfully we're almost done.

And my last class is a music class, which I'm beginning to realize I don't really belong in because I'm not at the level that the prof assumes I am. I was tricked into it by the Honors Dean, who said it would be "easy and relaxing." Bah.

And that's it. And I only even go to class twice a week. How am I considered a full time student? Each class is supposed to require three hours outside the class, but that's a lie. I get maybe and hour's worth of homework tops.

I mean, I enjoy school, it's just a little too easy. And I realize I've just spent this whole entry complaining. I do that WAY too much. So sorry for being such a negative person, I'll try to be bright and happy next time.
