My second semester of school started yesterday. I was able to work out a schedule with the jaunt-bus so that I don't have to ride in at 5:30 with my dad and kill time for three hours before class starts, so that's good. I might occasionally be a little late for my first class but the professor doesn't mind so it shouldn't be a problem.
First day was good. The two classes that will carry the bigger work-load are History of Western Civilization, and English Comp 111. The history class will be a LOT of reading:
The Iliad, Beowulf, Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, City of God by Augustine, and The Prince.
I think I need to be done with The Iliad in 3 weeks. Not that it's that much to get done in that amount of time, but scheduling it and forcing myself to read - and retain - the thing... Still, looking forward to going through all of the material and hearing some discussion.
The comp class is a little daunting. A lot of it is handwritten things I have to keep in one journal and I'm not crazy about writing everything on paper. I've gotten used to being able to edit and tweak things as I work on them. It'll be okay though. It's definitely one of those classes where effort counts more than, or at least as much as, the end results.
Good so far.
