Pointless Updates

I have another blog out there called pointlesstrauma. I think I need to change this one to pointless updates, probably because by the time I get on here at night, I'm so tired that I don't want to write anything, so I just spew pointless crap.

Whatever.

Anyways, I just noticed that I have not fully delved into my whole class situation, my expectations, etc. I will rectify that now.

First off is Ancient Greek. This class frankly feels like Latin did for me three years ago. A lot of meh feelings about it. We waste a lot of time doing very little productiveness (I mean, we're two weeks in and we're still in chapter one when we could be in chapter three), and I sit with a bunch of people who don't want to participate. Normally, I'm ok with that, but she waits until someone chimes in, so I end up doing it most of the time. I don't have high expectations that this class is going to be very difficult. So obviously, my prediction for this semester is a solid A.

Next is German. On one hand, I feel similarly to this as I do to Greek. We could be in Chapter one already, but we're still in the surprisingly long introductory chapter. It's mostly vocab, basic sentences, and articles. Seriously, let's MOVE. Maybe we'll move more once we get into the meat a little more? Anticipated grade: A.

Now, my final 100 level course, class piano. My distinct impression with the professor is that while she's competent, she's not terribly organized. Maybe artists are like that, but for me, being a total beginner, I need some structure. Several of the other students are totally annoying, especially the music majors who think their lives are actually majorly important to the class. Guess what? I don't care if you know your chords and crap. Get the hell out of the class if you're too advanced for it! That being said, I have no idea what the expectations are of me. How am I graded, what does she want? Anticipated grade: Reserved until actual grading begins.

Next, CHEM 940, independent study. I've been having some serious issues getting the data to work out, but I'm hoping that it comes through over the rest of the week. I would REALLY like to get this article written before the end of the month....

Next, history of medicine. This one is really tricky to assess. On one hand, I can tell the prof is enthusiastic about the subject, but on the other she kind of cares too much about the students. It's nice to have someone who cares, but she had us bring in pictures with notecards so she could memorize who we were quicker. I guess with science, I'm so used to not mattering and it's different over in humanities land. I can tell she's tough though--I've already gotten an A- on one writing assignment. Whether she's just this hard at the start or the whole way through only time will tell. Anticipated grade: A-.

Finally thesis. Same problems as last semester, harder challenges. Anticipated grade: B+.

So there you have it.

Next time I update, I might actually get to some of the developments in my life.
