Hey Everyone,
It's been at least a month since I've last Blogged. Sorry I've just been really busy. I just started school and I'm so excited. I'll just tell you a little bit about my classes. Every T, Th, and F I hop on Trax, which for someone who has never really ridden a public transport is quite an experience. My first class is computers and the arts. So far, so cool. There are a lot of computer geeks in my class. They are really amazing people they make video games and computer games I even met the boy who made the marble on the platforms game that we all play. He is only a few years older than me. Can you say WOW? Anyway, I was a little intimidated at first because we have to work on Macs. So right now I'm at school blogging on a Mac so that I can get the hang of these things. I love my computer class. Its going to teach me everything that I want to know about computers and the art programs on computers. YAY. My next class is already causing me stress. It is the highest level English class I've ever taken and we were assigned homework the first day of class. I have to read the Koran and the not King James version of the Bible to compare the story of Joseph. Also we watched this old video made in about the 70's. It was a debate between an English man and a woman about Literature and Philosophy and let me just tell you that I had to concentrate Really hard to just understand what the heck they were talking about. They used words that I had never even heard before and they talked about books I've never read or knew about but they acted like everyone and their dog should know who and what book they were talking about. I was floundering in gigantic words and I felt I was in way over my head which I am but oh well I will live until my first paper is due. Then you can all sing at my funeral.
Tuesdays are my long day. I'm in school for 8 hours straight and my final class of the day is three hours long. The class is Political Economy and race and gender studies. My teacher informed us on the first day that we will be staying all three hours every class. Joy. Our first class we watched a movie called 12 angry men. Its about a jury that have to decide if an 18 year old boy is guilty of murder. I actually enjoyed it. Lots of debating in this class let me tell you. And then there are Fridays when I have badminton and ballroom dance. I haven't been to ballroom dance yet but badminton is really fun so far. My teacher is Asian and he talks super quiet so I can't understand anything he says. I just do what he does. He can't say his l's so he whispers, " stand on green rine an move reft foot to da reft" I just smile on do what he does. I expect you all to show up to my game when I become a world champion Badmintoner. I hang out in the library a lot they have more books than I have ever seen in one place I just drool.
That is mostly what I've been doing for the past week. And I will try to keep you posted on my goings on here at the good ol' U of U. I will see you all very soon love ya. P.S. I wish that this was a picture of someone in my badminton class seeing as half of them are Asian but somehow it just wasn't my luck and the other picture is of the Marble blast that the kid made in my comp. class.
