well well well. first day back at school. my first class so far has been french. here are the general course listings. 1105, 2105, then it goes higher, but those dont matter. i dont really speak french. i took a course this summer, was a total nerd (maybe i should use the present tense) and got the best score in the class. so, i decided that the 1105 was too basic (and yes, there is an 1106 offered next semester, but you know i go to a small school of only 29000 souls, so i can understand why they would not be offering any of the in-between courses).

it turns out i am not the smartest kid in my class. however, i am certainly not the worst (although as the herd thins this week, i wonder how far down i will sink as those others who only caught 70%- and yes that is a guess number- of what the teacher was saying will drop). but not me. i am in it for the semester i think. yes, it is going to be hard, but it is better than taking the wimpy course and being bored out of my mind. plus, this aint the first time i have been in a room where i dont really speak the language. all in all, it will be an enlightening, and humbling, experience.

as a matter of fact, that is one thing i like about school, first days in particular. you walk away humbled.

later tonight i am attending a class i may or may not end up taking. i will let you know how that one fares.
