So I've completed my first week of classes of the second semester. Like Tyler, I have a wretchedly old professor. She doesn't quite date back to the time the Constitution was signed, but close enough. Unfortunately she’s neither funny nor slow moving. She has got a quick wit, but it has a sinister edge to it. She teaches my grammar class which ( Read more... )

Thank you Miss Hanson. (No sarcasm attached, mind you).

I'm back at school!! I had the most fabulous winter break I've ever had. I only wish I had my own car and could have made visits to people whose break was much shorter than mine as well as visit some college friends just to see their houses and meet parents etc. But I can't complain too much about being driven everywhere and not working and ( Read more... )

My dad's on crazy pills. Have you met David Wallace? Because you should. So he decided at 6:30 this morning while I was driving him to work (I wanted his car during the day so I could go to Montgomery and see Mr. Stanley one last time, something I never wound up doing) that all my textbooks were going to be sold out by Sunday, which is when I'm ( Read more... )

I am officially retracting my earlier statements regarding my strong desire to head back to school within a couple weeks. I would still love it if my roommates and select others magically appeared on my porch, but I feel no need to head back this second. I guess I wrote that entry during a time when it was night after night of unfulfilling group ( Read more... )

One particular point on Jessica's recent +/- list inspired me to address a somewhat sticky topic: wanting to go back to school. If I were given the option, I'd choose to go back to school in a week and a half. Instead I'll be here until January 23rd, a situation I'm not terribly pleased about. Thankfully there will still be a few people to hang ( Read more... )

So besides the fact that I'm Jerry, I'm thrilled today. I competed in a speech tournament all day today (and I do mean all day, 9:15 to 6:45) against roughly 200 other students who are all in CMST 11 (Speech Communication Fundamentals). The categories were pursuasive, impromptu, and informative. I competed in the informative section and won 1st ( Read more... )
