the_dala at 12:47pm on 30/08/2003I bought books and that always makes me feel better.
It was just over $400, which is excellent because I thought it'd be a lot more. I still have an out-of-stock book to buy for Biblical Foundations, though (which STILL has no professor), and you would not believe the amount of reading I'm going to have to do this semester. A lit course, so/anth, the Bible thing, and good old español. It's gonna be crazy.
During the English interest session, I sat next to the cutest blond boy with the cutest pink face, the cutest South Carolinian accent, and the cutest passion for postmodernism. I felt very poorly read though. I only read classics for school, as a general rule, no matter how I do enjoy many of them then. And I feel awful now about how much of last year's lit reading I didn't do. Damn those sparknotes and that senioritis. The English professors seemed really nice, though. One of them specializes in contemporary and/or American lit, and that's something I really want to look into -- last semester he did a course focusing on the American family and used some texts I've wanted to read for the longest time.
My favorite of the new books is this one for soanth on strip clubs. My least favorite is the Spanish workbook. I don't have positive associations with Spanish workbooks, you know. However, I also got a video guidebook for that class, which sort of makes it seem like it'll be pretty easy.
I don't even have to take Spanish; I opted out of it with the placement test even though I did horribly on the AP. I can't really explain why I'm taking it. All I know is that I hate the way I lost all my Spanish skills last year. I mean, junior year I could really speak excellent Spanish, and now I can barely form simple sentences.
I also obtained poster putty, although it is too hot for me to summon the energy to test it out. It's really miserable here; I wish it would rain again. Just watch, I know it's going to start pouring during my first class on Wednesday when I have to walk all the way to the other side of campus. Not that we have that much campus, but still, Kent is across the road, man.
Off to tie-dye something. Adios.
