Whew! It's been a long week. Sorry to my entire readership for the nonexistent blogging. And it will be light tonight; It's 11:40 and I have places to be tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to the new school year. I've gotten to go to one each of my new classes, and I think most of them will be interesting at least. A rundown of the classes:
Principles of Management: (MWF) Taught by some guy who knew my mom when they grew up in Houston. He seems like he'll be a great teacher, so long as I stay on his good side. It didn't help that I was late the first day of class, but I blame than on my inexperience in arriving that early (it's my first time with an 8:00 class, and I have a 45 minute - 1 hour drive before that), and on the irritating public safety officer who directed everyone else at a four way stop to go before me. And on Academy (the BJU high school) traffic.
Microeconomics: The most boring-looking of my classes. I thought, looking at the bulletin, that it would be very interesting. Hopefully the teacher won't be as boring when he gets to the material as he was the first day.
Principles of Accounting: The freshman level course I'm taking as a sophomore. There are two or three women and about 20 other guys in the class. Scary, that. It's taught by a man who was some CFO or something for... I think Prudential insurance agency? Anyways, if you're that high up in a company, you've got to know your stuff, right? Anyways, if he accomplishes his "Course Goals," I'll be happy with the class.
The Life and Ministry of Christ: My mandatory Bible course. It's taught by a guy who teaches seminary level stuff. He's good. I'm looking forward to the class.
Expository Writing: which I am taking for my minor of Public Relations Journalism. I've always liked writing, and this is a class designed to improve my writing in general, by the looks of things. I have a paper due on Tuesday. That was quick. :-) It's worth 0 points; it's just designed so we can get back into the college writing swing of things and learn how he grades. But, we do have to turn in the paper, even though we don't get credit, or else we fail. And our final paper is a revision of the first or second paper (which is also worth 0 points), so there's some worth in doing it well. You know, besides the whole "do it with all thy might" thing.
American Literature: (from 1865-present) It looks like we're actually going to get into modern stuff towards the end of the year. This is good.
Anyways, it's late and I'm tired and have written more than my typical bite-sized chunk of writing anyways. Good night.
