The summary of the story so far...

Classes

Fundamentals of Modern Math MW 2:00-3:15
Unfortunately, the teacher has a monotone voice. The class itself should't be too hard as long as I keep up wih the homework. I've enlisted the help of a certain blue hen in that regard.

American Political Development MW 3:30-4:45
Dr. Lim is a sesquipedalian. Fortunately, he has a varied and hypnotic British accent when he lectures. His class is going to be the toughest one for me this semester in terms of reading. I know this becaues I dropped fifty bucks to buy five hundred and fifty pages of dense coursepack reading. Lots of abstract theory, but I'm confident I can handle it.

Foundations of Education TTH 11:00-12:15 T 1:00-1:50
This is like the fourth time I will have to read the Odyssey at TU. Yay. At least I will have an excuse to read the Aeneid. The one hour lab (which, unlike physics and chem labs, is actually one hour) is mainly designed to develop my portfolio.

History of Early Chinese Thought TTH 2:00-3:15
Dr. Buoye is so self deprecating it's hilarious. This is going to be a fun class, and no exams to boot!

Senior Thesis (most likely every other Friday at 10:00am)
I still have to confirm the time with Dr. Buckley but it looks like we'll be meeting every other Friday at 10:00am. I've only got three months left before the honors colloquium at which I must present my currently nonexistent project.

Extracurricular

BSU
It was fun times returning to serving drinks at FOCUS. I'm still spiritually healing in many ways so I understand it's best not for me to lead at the current time.

Collegian
I got the Opinion Editor job, and I immediately discovered why many don't last more than a semester. VERY few people want to put their opinions out there. I don't blame the cowards.

Student Association
Well, I've been asked to go through document revision for judicial. They want to try to remake the new constitution within one month. The pessimist in me says there's no way in bloody heck they're going to achieve that goal. But I have been proven wrong before...except that this will not be one of those cases.

C.S. Lewis Reading Group
We're meeting at 8pm every Thursday. We will be doing The Screwtape Letters. I think it will be very interesting. Plus John Cleese is a winner!

Mortar Board
The senior honors society gets the lowest priority. What does that tell you?

Personal

Magic: The Gathering
I printed out the Comp Rules, 2hg FAQ, UTR, Floor Rules, PEIP, and Penalty Guidelines and organized them neatly into one 1 1/2" three ring binder. I suppose type A personalities do have their upsides.

Anime
Piano's next on the docket.

Video Games
Tecmo Super Bowl should be a weekly duel between Marcel "Da Noise" Ficklin and me.

Piano
Love Story has proven rather difficult to memorize. I can get the first third and last third of the song as they are very similar, but the middle part is difficult to replay from memory. I'll get it hammered out through sheer repetition though. Plus "Decisive Battle" from FFVI is next on the docket.

Exercise
Looks like I already broke that New Year's Resolution. ;)
