First Week

Well, I've finished me first week of classes, and, well, it's not exactly what I expected.

I'm sort of on the fence about my Interpersonal Communication professor. She's talented, really talented, and very experienced. That's without dispute. It's her personality that I have a problem with. She has an ego, though she has a right to it with her credentials, but it's still aggravating. I guess it'll be fine though, as I respect her enough for her ego not to bother me too much.

Then, there's my History professor. He's very difficult to read. We talked about Columbo (the proper name of Columbus), and he wouldn't allow me to play Devil's Advocate, but he did allow me to present a lark of an answer, which he then integrated into the lesson, wherein he played Devil's Advocate for all the Hero vs. Villain arguments we had come up with. So, in addition to learning more about the history of the various "discoverers" of North America (Lief Ericson in ~1000 AD, Zheng He in ~1432 AD, and Columbo in ~1492 AD), I learned about how some people, when faced with hardships, desire a scapegoat, and what better figure then someone who's dead and has a national holiday?

Plus, there's my math class, which is getting rather fun, though it's still fairly easy, since homework is now worth much more then last semester, I'm actually going to be doing some of it.

And I'm out of here.
