I am not fond of writing essays. I can, and I have plenty of opinions to spout, but it's been so long since my AP Lang class that I spend the whole time fretting about how badly I'm writing it... or just not writing it. Hmm, that doesn't work out so well. I've actually done ok with the procrastination vs homework war so far, although my memory is proving to be just as bad of an enemy. Use my planner? Good idea, now where did I leave that...
Classes are pretty good so far. I love economics of geography, even though it has the most homework so far. I love econ in any form, so I can forgive the details :). Biology... well, I think molecular biology is pretty neat, genetics are fun, and organisms are interesting so what is my class about? Evolution and sustainability. I wish I was joking. I tried to drop it, but turns out it's required for my major, so I guess I get to suffer through it. Sigh. Linguistics is pretty interesting so far. I was warned about the teacher, but so far it hasn't been bad at all. She has some different viewpoints, but I think it's kind of fun to challenge the conventional wisdom about language. Drawing class is incredibly intimidating. I am somewhat of a perfectionist, so drawing large objects for a grade is more than a little stressful. Lets just say my first graded drawing took me two and a half hours to finish, and at that point I may not have been satisfied, but I was DONE.
In other news, living here has been tons of fun, and I love love love having my own kitchen :). I've been cooking almost every day, and kinda wish the store was closer :). My roommates are awesome, and I think this will be a fabulous year. I do miss everyone in Sweet Home (and a few in Corvallis/Bend) but I really am enjoying myself here.
Ok, time to finish my paper ;)
