I have survived the first day, and printed out some articles, syllabi, and other first day things. I also already have homework, which I'm positive is a cruel and unusual punishment under the Geneva Conventions.

Spanish was not as bad as I thought. Which means I almost followed what the professor was saying, and was able to say something semi-intelligent, if it wasn't the most coherent sentence I've ever said.

The only other opinion I have is that Greek Literature in Translation sounds really interesting. The course description says that the special topics in the class will be
the role of women in Greek society, literary constructions of feminine and masculine identities, ancient Greek pederasty and homosexuality, and the concept of eros as a social, psychological and emotional force in Greek life."
And we'll be reading the Greek texts and modern text, applying feminist and queer theory to both literary pools. <3

So far, I have four final projects. The phonetics and literature ones are fairly straightforward. The ethics one had not been clarified at all, and the Spanish one is a project that you do little things each week, then it's compiled into one big project at the end of the semester. Also, I have to make a 100 word dictionary. So far, I have one word: carsi. It means cheesy, as in "Tom Servo makes fun of the cheesy movie." 99 more words to go!

I should do most of my homework tonight, so I can go out and do non-school things Tuesday afternoon, like go downtown to buy my computational and informational ethics book and buy comics. Or eat.

Oh, and I have a project for ethics where I have to give up a technology. Except email is the Official Communication of Indiana University so no giving up computers. I don't use my cell phone, and I don't use the television machine. I think I may end up withholding from livejournal for my project. But that's in the future.
