fall and the quest for knowledge has begun yet again.
The semester got off to a quick start yesterday as i had three of my five classes. so far:
- my folklore class looks like it has a lot of potential, and hopefully the prof. will deliver with great lectures about interesting things.
- biology is huge. probably about 450 people. we have clickers to answer on pop quiz power point presentations. the book costs $140. ouch. on the bright side, learning about cells can be fun, if not a little tedious. highlight of yesterday’s class: Pierre showing up to take notes on paper plates!
- french looks fun and happy with a peppy cajun (Mdme. LaFleur). unfortunately, the class is still departamentalized which means oodles of silly rules to follow which makes getting an A difficult. i predict a mixture of joy and frustration.
other things to note include:
-lsu has a billion milllion students. i always seem to be forget this and then be overwhelmed on the first day of class.
-i have, miracle of all miracles, two, count-em, two, repeat class mates.
-as pierre says, “the prophecy has been fullfilled, the triumverate (me, ben, pierre) is now a force on campus. no word on paul as of yet.
in unrelated news, i’m going to spoil the suprise and say that i was going to get a drumset for my birthday. but, now faced with the overwhelming cost of books (over $100 per class), i’m no longer really willing to make the leap into percussion. however, no need to despair, as i still have some cash to spend on a new instrument, effects pedal, ect., i just haven’t decided what yet. perhaps a banjo is in my future?
a more thoughtful post is on the way (about bugs and the nature of existential rebirth)…if i get some sleep…
