It begins!

I need a haircut, and before you start making snide remarks about me and haircuts, I'm not that stubborn as to let it simply grow to my waist. I have a look I'm going for, it's just that no one really sees it.
Also, I'm playing with different ways of tieing my scarf up, because just hanging there seems a bit lazy looking, which isnt the idea.
But anyway, classes have officially "begun" in my book. Now I know that this really happened Tuesday of last week, the first and even second meets of most classes are rather pointless and wasteful of time.
Besides, I only just now have my scedule comepletely worked out. It's a good thing those first couple meetings are rather pointless and wasteful of time or everyone who wanted to slightly mess around with their schedule would have a hard time adjusting to the new class.
But anyway, my new and hopefully completed schedule is as follows:

  • English Composition II
  • taken in secret via loophole as arranged by my tutor. I'm really taking an "independent" writing course. I am independently taking Comp II. Just grand.
  • Civilisation and Ideas II
  • which should be better this semester than last, not only because there is maybe a fourth the amount of students but also because there are only two essays due and whichever is done worse on is dropped.
  • Studies in Literature: Tolkien and Lewis
  • which is, as it implies, a study of J.R.R Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Both christian writers, both renowned creators of fantastical worlds, and both have initials for their first and middle names.
  • Creative Writing
  • a 400 level class that I fear will be the death of me with 300 words of poetry, 1000 words of short story, and 1500 words of drama due. Ah well, it'll be good for me to realise how crappy a writer I really am. Criticism makes you better!
    and finally...
  • Film Evaluation
  • which I haven't taken yet, I only just signed up for it today to take the place of the abandoned "Religion and Ethics" class, dropped like a hot solanum tuberosum after the first period. Although strikingly interesting and valuable topics, I would only have been extremely frustrated with people all too ready to take everything personally.
    As for the film class, they've just watched Gattaca, they're watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon tomorrow, and too many more awesome movies are on the schedule.

And that's it. Let's give them all a hand, I'm sure they'll stand up to my random criticism and complaints.
In other news, Widge stops being a dick and learns some HTML! Uses it in his post!
Also, hair from a beard was trimmed this morning, care to guess whose?
Alright, alright, enough of you.
I'm out of here.
