"I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my tongue is always in it."

-Flannery O'Connor.

My schedule is sort of the inverse or contradiction of itself in at least two ways:

1. My MWF classes (with the exception of the M lab) are all led by teachers who clearly have much experience. Both of my TR teachers are not far ahead of receiving their PhDs.

2. My MWF classes all (again with the exception of the M lab) are optional attendance (that is, your final grade is not directly influenced by the lack of attendance). My TR classes both require attendance (after you miss X number of classes, your final grade will drop by Y% each time).

Psychology will be interesting, mostly in a good way - although the teacher's quality of language leaves a little to be desired (mostly vulgarity, which I can tolerate better than profanity...).

Logic looks to be splendid. I've made up my mind after a discussion with my older sister to not be the 'talker' in my classes...to sort of keep my mouth shut and force others to talk. Of course, in Honors classes that doesn't exactly work out, because there's nearly always another person who's ready and willing and able to be the talker instead. Logic is no different. Thankfully it is Honors, so most people aren't silent.

Both of them seem very interactive, which is awesome.

I think this semester will be enjoyable, if challenging. I'm looking forward to it. My desk is sort of crying out to be piled with texts and frantically scribbled-on pieces of paper. Yeah, I think my desk is crazy too. ...oh, wait, you're calling me crazy?

... leaving that topic.

By way of being random, all of my Finals have managed to land themselves on a different day of the week (I have five, the school week has five...). My last one is Greek, which makes me happy, since all last year I finished with a lit (same teacher) final ... saving the best for last, I suppose.

Mari, I didn't finish 'the books' (didn't think pulling an all-nighter before Sabbath was the best course of action) so I'm still plugging away at them between classes (I haven't much else to work on yet). Another quote:

"Men of all centuries have been disobedient and depraved. But usually they have known what laws they were disobeying and by what standards they were depraved. Twentieth-century man has no such knowledge. He is fleeing headlong from reason, and at the same time is claiming an excess of rationality." (Harry Blamires, 'Cold War In Hell.')
